Anderson Cooper Dishes on His Sad McDonald’s Birthday

From Silver Fox to Somber Fox

06.05.2014 | Matt Fox |

Who knew Anderson Cooper was such a melancholy man? The normally outgoing and loquacious CNN reporter (and sometimes talk-show host) sat down with David Letterman last night, where he gave us all the delicious details about his 47th birthday celebration…or lack thereof. Anderson celebrated the occasion all by his lonesome at McDonald’s. For the interested, Cooper’s favorite choice is the #1 Big Mac combo. Indeed, he was so sad that he couldn’t even bring himself to order a Happy Meal.

But at least Anderson’s colleagues know how to party. And earlier this week, they shared their birthday wishes with the world’s most favorite Vanderbilt:

Happy 47th, you little rascal. I sincerely hope you don’t end up at the Weenie Beenie for your 48th.
