Forget the ridiculous hologram technology CNN debuted on election night.
The real story at the network is host Anderson Cooper's apparent crush on NeNe Leakes.
Earlier this week, Cooper told Ellen DeGeneres that he's a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, telling the talk show host: "I don't even know where to begin with NeNe."
The silver-haired stud then held his hands out from his chest and added: "You have to sort of watch to enjoy the fullness of NeNe."

In an interview with E!, Leakes said her phone didn't stop ringing after Cooper made the announcement.
"I told my husband, 'You know Anderson Cooper? He spoke about me,' " Leakes said. "And he said, 'Anderson Cooper? The guy with the white hair? No, he didn't!' We think it's great. We love it."
Please stop encouraging her, AC.

He is gay. People have known that about him for years!!! He was trying to be polite. What he was really trying to say is that it is entertaining because it is amazing at how ghetto she is. NeNe is crazy as hell to think he was trying to compliment her. This dude is crazy educated and is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt. He is straight class and probably finds her amusing because she is so out there.
