Anderson Cooper Totally Loses It After Ralph Fiennes Reenacts That Viral 'Demure' Video

Cooper could barely hold it together alongside Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show as Fiennes did a dramatic reenactment of the "very demure, very mindful" video that took TikTok by storm.

CNN's Anderson Cooper could barely hold it together alongside Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show as actor Ralph Fiennes did a dramatic reenactment of the "very demure, very mindful" video that took TikTok by storm.

Cohen asked:


“I showed you the video yesterday. Can you perform this for us?”

Fiennes agreed to “try” to give his version of it with a monologue, reciting the following very calmly:

“Well look, this is how I do my makeup for work. Very demure, very mindful. I don’t come to work with a green cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m mindful at work."
"See how I look very presentable? The way I came to the interview is the way I go to the job. A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson, looking like you are going to look like Patty and Selma."
"Not demure. Not demure. But, I am very modest.”
"See my shirt? ... Be mindful of why they hired you. Here’s a reality check, diva. What’s the name you want me to make it out to?”

As Fiennes delivered his monologue, Cooper laughed so hard he nearly fell over. Cohen turned to him and asked, “Did you like that, Anderson?” to which Cooper replied:

“I liked that very much.”

Fiennes made his appearance on the New Year’s special while promoting his film Conclave, a project generating significant awards buzz. He is widely expected to earn a nomination for Best Actor at this year’s Academy Awards.

Conclave is also considered a strong contender for Best Picture. For Fiennes, the potential nomination would mark his third, following nods for Schindler’s List and The English Patient. He remains a frontrunner for the coveted prize but faces tough competition from Adrien Brody, praised for his performance in The Brutalist.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
