Don't Expect to Wake Up to Anderson Cooper

If you have hopes of sharing morning coffee with Anderson Cooper by next year, think again. The CNN anchor, 43, told PEOPLE that there's not truth to rumors he'll be replacing Regis Philbin, 78, on the latter's ABC a.m. show next year.
"Regis is the king," Cooper says. "He's not going anywhere!"
Cooper, who's occasionally subbed for Philbin alongside Kelly Ripa, said at the New Yorkers for Children Benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street on Tuesday night that even his journalistic skills couldn't sleuth out where the rumors started.

Anderson Cooper Has 'Spot' of Skin Cancer Removed

Anderson Cooper is dealing with a dermatological health issue, the journalist explains on his CNN blog.
After recounting his experience on the campaign trail with Sen. Barack Obama, Cooper, 40, writes, "On a personal note, I've been off for the last couple of days. I had minor surgery on Monday. A small spot of skin cancer was removed from under my left eye."
The setback will not keep Cooper off-camera, he says.
"I hadn't planned on mentioning this, but I still have stitches and you'll no doubt notice them tonight," he says on his Wednesday posting.
Then, with a nod to PBS talk-show host Charlie Rose's current black eye – which Rose, 66, got when he tripped on the sidewalk while trying to catch his laptop – Anderson says, "Don't want you to think I got into a fist fight with Charlie Rose."

Anderson Cooper is no stranger to tragedy. When he was 10, his father died during heart surgery. While he was finishing college at Yale University, his older brother Carter, who was 23 at the time, committed suicide. The CNN anchor, 39, writes about his personal heartbreak and harrowing professional experiences in his new book, Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival, including his decision early on to become a war correspondent. "I found it in some ways comforting to be in places where people understood grief and were able to talk about it," says Cooper. PEOPLE recently chatted with the single newsman about traveling the world, how Hurricane Katrina changed him and his penchant for cheesy reality TV.
