Anderson Cooper Puts Psychic John Edward And Mom Gloria Vanderbilt In The Same Room; Marilyn Monroe Shows Up

video
» 22 comments

On his daytime talk show Monday, Anderson Cooper brought psychic John Edward in to do some readings on him, his crew, and–why not?–his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt, who fancies herself “somewhat psychic” (which caused Cooper to slump back in his chair in one of those, “here we go again” moments), revealed to Cooper that not only had she known Marilyn Monroe, but she was visited by her during her session with Edward.

Edward explained to Cooper that when he sees a vision of someone like Marilyn Monroe, it’s usually just a signifier that the person had someone pass named “Marilyn.”

“They would say, ‘That’s my aunt. That’s my grandmother.’ Not Marilyn Monroe. So it’s kind of a little bit… it’s freaky…it’s freaky.”

As for Cooper? He was loving the fact that his mom freaked out Edward, the psychic who was the subject of a classic South Park episode. “Now it’s not just me who gets freaked out by you,” he said.

    Gloria Vanderbilt to John Edwards: “Is my son ever going to meet a nice girl to marry?”

    John Edwards to Gloria Vanderbilt; “Yes, yes he is.”

    One thing I always find noisome about psychics, ghost hunters, previous-lifers and the like: the spirits or person you were in a previous life are always famous. Really? So you were Cleopatra in a previous life? Marilyn Monroe wants to talk to you? Elvis is haunting your fridge and stealing your bacon? I have a spirit in my dirt cellar named Cliff. He was a nobody, and to be honest, kind of a dick. Cliff is a spirit I can believe in.

    i’m amazed by how many people buy this charlatan’s bull crap…  he casts his net far and wide and pulls vague details out of his ass that can apply to anyone as his followers, wanting desperately to believe, all too happily steer him in the right direction…

    why don’t any of these vapidly banal tv personalities put this dude to the test?…  it would be easy to expose this guy once and for all on national tv by asking just a few questions…  if he can talk to dead people, ask him:

    1.  who killed jfk?…  he can ask jfk, oswald, lbj, and most if not the entire warren commission and their witnesses currently residing in heaven… 

    2.  the evidence, his acquittal notwithstanding, clearly showed oj killed ron and nicole…  but who better than the victims themselves to finally confirm this?…

    3.  why didn’t jesus, upon his resurrection, lay to rest the notion of the earth being flat?…  maybe that wasn’t a terribly convenient time to make this a priority…  but, being the ostensible son of god with a direct hotline to the man upstairs, you’d think that might have come to light at some point during their communications over his 33 years on earth…

    4.  i guess when he saw marilyn monroe he didn’t think to ask her if she accidentally od’d, committed suicide or was murdered on orders from jfk…

    Way back when, I managed a restaurant outside of Cincinnati that was originally an old farmhouse.  

    The inn was purported to be haunted by the spirit of a little girl named “Rachel”.  We purposely would tell tall tales about our “ghost” in order to liven the ambiance and it worked.  The customers loved it and it gave us a built in excuse if something went awry. ;)

    However, late at night, there were occasionally some unexplained occurrences that did raise the hair on the back of my neck.  To this day I can’t logically explain a few things that happened…mostly it was where I was in a room doing inventory by myself…I walked away for a moment, nobody else is there, and when I re-entered the room things had been moved.

    On a side note…have any of those Ghost Hunter shows ever actually found a ghost?

    I love the episode of South Park with the Ghost Hunter guys. Any slightest noise was a spirit.
    Ding-dong. “What was that?!!” One of them pees his pants and blames it on a ghost.
    My wife does work for Civil War and Colonial museums and she says ghost hunters show up all the time with their “scientific” ghost-detecting equipment, saying they “feel a presence.” It’s always the sterotypical old “scary” places.
    Don’t any ghosts ever hang out at Wa-Wa or Home Depot?

    Yep, that’s when the fork-lift unexpectedly drops the pallet when nobody is around.  ;)

    Which charlatan will AC host next? Benny Hinn? Sylvia Browne? Glenn Beck?

    Gloria Venderbilt looks amazing for 87. I know, about a billion plastic surgeries,  but glad she didn’t go for the clown lips.

    Is your mom an internet “psychic?”

    “On a side note…have any of those Ghost Hunter shows ever actually found a ghost?”

    No!
    As to this sleazy “psychic,”  …Either Cooper is a naive true-believer or he will do anything for ratings. Sad.

    You are not familiar with John’s format, are you?

    If you don’t really know anything about him and how he does his readings, keep your comments to yourself.

    You might also want to open your mind and explore life (and death) in greater depth.

    Actually at first I didn’t like what you had to say…Reading on I did like the questions that you wanted asked…The answers would be very interesting….I believe in spirits….GHOSTS..Whatever you wish to call them…

    John Edwards is hardly a sleazy anything, but the real deal. Now if you don’t believe in psychics or that we don’t know everything, fine; but to slander someone who you don’t know is really just, well…sleazy.
