When you superimpose an Anderson Cooper 360 news report over this adorable footage of two bears in their natural habitat, you finally have a formula that’ll launch Blue Eyes’ ratings ahead of Greta Van Susteren.

And so it has come to this: A spoof of the Miley Cyrus-Vanity Fair photo shoot, starring Annie Liebowitz’s nose and dad Billy Ray Cyrus who gives Joe Simpson a run for his creepiness.

Heavy.com’s Jimmy Jellinek writes in to refute our claim that old people really aren’t too angry about its web series Over The Hills. Read the update.

Kudos to former Maxim editor Jimmy Jellinek for inventing a press-worthy controversy that doesn’t exist. Jellinek, who’s helming Heavy.com these days, needs to promote the hell out of Over The Hills, a web series that reenacts The Hills word-for-word, but stars old folks. So far, he’s already got plenty of people writing about it, but how better to extend his free publicity run than to get Rush & Molloy to claim “senior citizen watch groups are attacking Heavy.com” and then refuting the accusation himself, saying, “We’re doing the senior community a service by making them sound hip. Grandpa Spencer drank me under the table at Les Deux, then tried to kick my a-. He’s a stud. No way we’re stereotyping senior citizens.”

No watchdog group we could find has made any sort of statement about the series. But then again, the elderly don’t know how to use computers.

Update: Jellinek writes in to say Heavy.com has, in fact, been receiving emails from senior citizens, but not, to our knowledge, senior citizen “watch groups.” He sent us a copy of one, which we’re reprinting after the jump, because, well, it’s proof old people do know how to operate a keyboard!

After the jump, a quick look at Over The Hills.
