It had to happen sooner or later.

A Socialite’s Life has a good giggle over CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s participation in a charity bachelor auction.

No surprise, he was “purchased” by a man. It’s no secret that Cooper has a large gay fan base, but what IS a surprise is that the winning bid was so LOW. Cooper went for a mere $21,000. No word yet on whether or not his date, British producer Oliver Hicks, will tell all about the date. I know I’d LOVE to be a cockroach under THAT table.
