Week In Review - July 7, 2012

A newsman made headlines this week, as Anderson Cooper publicly acknowledged his gayness in an eloquent email to writer Andrew Sullivan. Cooper’s gay confirmation was not surprising, but Frank Ocean’s coming out was. Ocean, a rising R&B music star, enjoyed big props from music mogul Russell Simmons, after sharing the unexpected truth about his sexuality.

Wimbledon dominated sports news, as Roger Federer won his 7th title at the All England Club. We brought you some of the most unique video from the event, including clips of a line judge taking a 118 mph serve serve in the face and a player charmingly taking a fan’s shouted advice in his effort to upset Novak Djokovic. We also shared some compelling photos from the tennis event.

We saw the best fast food interaction ever, as a guy sang his burger order at a Sonic drive-thru, and we loved watching an unbelievable Pakistani "percussion" guitar virtuoso improvise on stage with his musical hero.

Lastly, we acknowledged the passing of TV legend Andy Griffith, with a clip of the actor-singer performing "The Fishin' Hole," the theme song to his beloved Mayberry TV show. Who knew there were words, as well as whistling? RIP Andy.

As always, thanks for reading.
