• Cooper's Remarks

  The following are excerpts from Cooper's comments.

  On the Living Lohan:

  • "The worst show that I cannot watch—and I must say that I've watched it maybe four or five times—is Living Lohan... [It's] just a train wreck and I watched it for a while and I said to myself, 'I cannot believe I am wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people.'"

  On Ali Lohan:

  • "There's this perfectly nice seeming, allegedly a 14-year-old girl, who looks to be about 60, but... I say that with concern and love. And she allegedly wants to be a singer, and/or actor-slash-performer of some sort... strip tease person? I don't know... She seems perfectly nice and I feel bad for her."
