CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has inspired what he calls “a soulful ballad,” a heavy metal song by the Cryptic Murmurs. The song, appropriately titled “Anderson Cooper,” includes the lyrics: “usually has a stern look on his face / stands in the middle of hurricanes” and “has never lost his composure … ever … not even once.”

“The folks at Cryptic Murmurs have stepped forward to remind the world that I, Anderson Cooper, CNN cyborg, have never once lost my composure. Except … when I’m laughing uncontrollably like a little girl,” Cooper joked on “AC 360″ this week. Watch:

Bob Tur, a former Los Angeles news helicopter pilot and the father of NBC News correspondent Katy Tur, has come out as transgender.

Tur is the creator of Los Angeles News Service, which was the first news service to use a helicopter in a major city for coverage of live breaking news. She was the only reporter to capture footage of the attack on Reginald Denny during the L.A. race riots in 1992 and the first to locate and televise the O.J. Simpson freeway chase in 1994.

Tur, who will change her name to Zoey, says her kids are in a “state of shock” but have been “very supportive.” TVSpy has more details.

Last month, ABC News assignment editor Dawn Ennis came out as transgender.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney will sit down for a rare live interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” this week.

Cheney, the architect of the NSA surveillance program in the Bush administration, will weigh on in the last controversy surrounding the agency. He will also share his thoughts on Benghazi and the IRS and DOJ scandals.

Cheney’s daughter, Liz, is a Fox News contributor.

CBS’ “Face the Nation” was the most-watched Sunday public affairs show on June 9. With “Meet the Press” preempted for NBC’s coverage of the French Open, ABC’s “This Week” was second, followed by “Fox News Sunday” in third and Univision’s “Al Punto” in fourth.

Univision’s “Al Punto” showed the most year-over-year growth of the four shows, up +33% in Total Viewers and +48% in the A25-54 demographic. “Face the Nation” was up +7% in Total Viewers and +29% in the demo. “This Week” was flat in Total Viewers and down -21% in the demo, and “Fox News Sunday” was flat and up +3%, respectively.

Cable replays of “Fox News Sunday” averaged a combined 2,548,000 Total Viewers and 512,000 viewers in the demo.

“Face the Nation” is based on the first half-hour only, as the full contiguous hour aired in just 66% of the country.

The numbers for June 9:

News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from his wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, Deadline Hollywood reports. The filing was made this morning in New York State Supreme Court.

The couple married in 1999, 17 days after Murdoch’s divorce from his second wife was finalized. They have two daughters together Grace, 11, and Chloe, 9. Deng, who is the chief of strategy for MySpace in China, famously slapped a man who attempted to attack Murdoch during his testimony in front of British Parliament committee about phone-hacking at his London newspapers.

Murdoch is overseeing another divorce of sorts: News Corp. is in the process of splitting its publishing and television assets into two publicly traded companies. Shareholders approved the split earlier this week and it will take effect June 28.

The New York Times has more on the marriage split:

A spokeswoman for Mr. Murdoch’s media company, News Corporation, confirmed that Mr. Murdoch had made the filing, which said that the “relationship between husband and wife has broken down irretrievably.” Mrs. Murdoch was informed in advance of Mr. Murdoch’s decision, according to a person close to the family.

As of 3pmET, CNBC, MSNBC, Bloomberg and CNNI have all reported on the split as have two of Murdoch’s British competitors: BBC News and ITV News. Murdoch’s Sky News also reported the story during its 6pm newscast.
