Anderson Cooper Takes Shots at Chris Brown

Chris Brown fires back

Despite the fact that Chris Brown and Rihanna have long split and that both superstars both maintain successful singing careers, Anderson Cooper won't let Chris Brown be great.

In a recent broadcast, the CNN frontman slammed Chris Brown for his new role in the upcoming film "Think Like a Man," sarcastically warning female viewers that he's been cast in a movie. "It's not just any movie," Cooper continued. "It's a romantic comedy, based on a self-help book about relationships."

Cooper put Chris Brown's new gig on the "Riduculist," saying that the R&B singer, who is currently on probation for his 2009 altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna, is the wrong person for the part.

The film, based on Steve Harvey's bestselling book also stars Michael Ealy, Terrence J, Lala Vasquez, Toccara, Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart and Meagan Good. "Think Like a Man," which is already in production, will hit theaters nationwide on April 6, 2012.

Chris Brown responded to Anderson Cooper's broadcast by tweeting,""I guess people need ratings!!! Lol!!! It's cool. Much love!"
