Anderson Cooper to Bachelorette: How Many Contestants Did You Sleep With?

Anderson Cooper sat in for Regis on the Regis and Kelly show Thursday and didn't hold back when he was interviewing Jillian Harris, the star of ABC's Bachelorette.

Accompanied by the winner of the show, her fiance Ed Swiderski, Jillian balked at arguably the only question anyone wanted answered. Here's the exchange:
Kelly Ripa: You're so adorable, kissing all the guys, and oh my gosh, what do you [Ed] think about it?

Jillian: What do you think about it?

Ed: I don't know. At first I thought it was kind of weird. But it's like anything. You get used to it.

Jillian: It has to stop now, though.

Anderson: And how many did you actually hook up with?

Jillian: Like?

Anderson: Like how many did you actually sleep with?
Jillian and the audience had about the same shocked reaction, but the bachelorette declined to answer the question. Instead, she protected her obviously sterling reputation by revealing that she kissed 10 of the contestants, but only 4 with tongue. Cooper, unimpressed, probably thinks Jillian is a hussy based on his reaction in the video below.
