When President Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the All-Star Game in St. Louis on Tuesday, most people’s eyes were on the ball. But a few people had their eyes on his jeans.

A friend of mine actually remarked on Wednesday, “The game was really cool, but what was with the president and those Mom Jeans?”

Perhaps the stylin’ first lady can give him some fashion pointers.

CNN’s Rick Sanchez isn’t so pleased with a recent AP interview with “Joe the Plumber”:

We missed most of CNN’s New Year’s coverage with Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper last night, so thank God somebody reposted it on the Internets. Kathy and Andy are a good pair, and their broadcast was a lot more entertaining than what was on the other networks. Carson Daly what?

Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper are giddily anticipating their big New Year’s Eve show. Highlights:

• Lou Dobbs and Cher have a love child named Alejandro.
• CNN senior political analyst David Gergen should expect a drunk dial.
• Andy puts his wallet on the anchor desk because, if he leaves it in his pocket, it hurts his back.

The show starts at 10 p.m. tonight on CNN.

CNN unveiled an exciting, new reporting tool on election night: holograms!

So retro-chic.
