Sandra Bernhard skewers the stars

Anderson Cooper, Lena Dunham and Madonna all get their due

Sandra Bernhard rarely holds back. And, true to form, in the video interview below she tells us what she thinks of Anderson Cooper’s coming out, Lena Dunham’s hit TV show, Girls, and Madonna’s fight to look young.

On Cooper, Bernhard says she doesn’t see what all the fuss is about. And she criticizes his timing. “He should have come out a long time ago.”

As for Dunham’s Girls, she feels the HBO series is getting tired.

“I think she’s made her point,” she says. “I think she needs to move on from it in the new season.

“She’s got to take it somewhere else.”

And, she has some rather harsh words for her former gal-pal Madonna. But you will have to watch the video to find out what she says.
