First class passengers on a flight (still on the tarmac) with award-winning actor Gerard Depardieu all had a ‘brush with greatness.’ More accurately they were soaked with it. Anderson Cooper always the consummate professional, was overcome by the most diabolical form of uncontrollable laughter. It turns out that Cooper is the kind of hysterical laughter who is irresistibly contagious. Who cares what this story was about, this is funny stuff! Number 2 anyone?
