Angelina Jolie

The primary takeaway for anyone who actually sat through the duration of last night’s two-hour-long, heavily-promoted Anderson Cooper-Angelina Jolie sit-down on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” was this: There are places in the world where things are much, much worse than they are here.

But beyond that commonplace, which many of us learned watching late-night infomercials in the 1980s, the interview will probably be noted by most viewers for what Angelina Jolie did not do, by comparison with the tragic, disheveled, Southern-fried cri de coeur performance that Britney Spears gave alongside Matt Lauer last week on NBC’s “Dateline.”She did not, for instance, decide to bare her bosom (and most of the rest of her body) as she bared her soul; Angelina easily covered at least three times the surface area with her long black dress. She also said almost nothing of note about her family, the father of her child (except that Brad was in the delivery room with her), nor her mothering abilities (besides admitting to being tired during breast-feeding the day of the interview). And perhaps most thankfully, she did not chew gum while she talked.

Anderson Cooper, for his part, besides betraying just the hint of a leer when talking about a tattoo that resides in a normally hidden place on Ms. Jolie’s back, was perhaps most notable for what he did do that Matt Lauer, last Thursday night, did not: Wear socks.

Angelina Jolie and Maddox

Angelina Jolie took her 4-year-old son Maddox Jolie-Pitt to school late last week. Today marks the United Nations’ World Refugee Day. Angelina Jolie will give Anderson Cooper 360° an exclusive interview tonight @ 10PM ET/PT on CNN. The interview was taped June 14 at L’Ermtage hotel in Beverly Hills. Anderson Cooper has said, “We have a lot of simliar interests in Africa…(like young dark boys) We’ve been to a lot of the same places (dark places)…It was a free-ranging conversation in which she talked a lot about her family… [Angelina’s] incredibly natural and down-to-earth. She is like this person you’d want to hang out with. Her commitment to actually trying to do good for other people is incredibly genuine. Anyone who spends any amount of time with her gets this.”

Julio Cesar Recio and Anderson Cooper

Rumors are swirling that Anderson Cooper (almost 40) is dating Julio Cesar Recio (25 in September). The juicy part of the rumor is that Anderson is Julio’s sugar daddy. Apparently Anderson won’t admit he is seeing Julio even though there is an endearment to Julio on page 212 of Anderson’s new book. Rumor has it that Julio fits the dark and young description of guys Anderson is attracted to. It’s also being whispered that Julio Cesar Recio is a manager/director at a wine distributor of this place. Right now this is just a rumor until more confirmation arrives from a credible spokesman like Anderson’s agent, his mom, or maybe Elton John.
