Anderson Cooper Goes “Baldwin” On Passenger Trying to Steal His Pic! [video]

Cooper was on a flight to visit Kathy Griffin and appear on a taping of her new show, when he had an Alec Baldwin type outburst of his own.  Cooper was on United Airlines and was trying to get some sleep when he noticed that the guy in front of him was turned around, trying to take his picture.  The guy had an I-phone and was trying to be slick and use the forward facing camera as if Cooper wouldn’t realize what was going on.

As Cooper tells it,

“I’m sitting there incredulous that he thinks I don’t see him… and he’s still taking the pictures,”

“Normally I would just be like, we’re not gonna win this one. But lately, I’ve become emboldened, and I grab the guy on the shoulder, and I said something to the effect of, ‘Bitch, what the f— are you doing?'”

“It was one of those things, as soon as I said it, I was like, ‘I can’t believe I just said this to a guy,'”

TVST => Would he feel better if he said that to a woman?

If that wasn’t good enough…how about the fact that he was seated next to famed, flamboyant figure skater Johnny Weir, and the guy who took the pictures never deleted them.  I’m suspecting that they will be showing up somewhere real soon.

I wonder if Wier and Coop were traveling “together”…..hmmmmm
