CNN’s Anderson Cooper and raunchy recording artist Lady Gaga don't seem to have much in common, but Cooper revealed that he and the outrageous pop star recently got together close and personal, with a bottle of Irish whiskey.
Cooper, who interviewed the Gaga for an upcoming segment on CBS "60 Minutes," says Gaga got him so liquored up on one of their meetings that he actually struggled to do his job.
"I was really interested to meet Lady Gaga. She's obviously a fascinating person," he told The Insider. "We actually ended up [one] day in a pub in London drinking Jameson, which I don't really drink. So, she got me to drink like two of them, and by the end I was ready to have the interview be over because I really sort of couldn't ask any more questions."
Cooper says he found the experience "really interesting."
His interview with Lady Gaga is slated to air February 13th, 2011, the night of the Grammy Awards.
