Two Fox News talk show hosts, 70-year-old Geraldo Rivera and 49-year-old Glenn Beck, have been tweeting bathroom selfies back and forth.
Early Sunday morning, Rivera tweeted “70 is the new 50” along with an almost-nude photo of himself. The picture was snapped with his cell phone in a bathroom mirror, showing the Fox contributor wearing nothing but a towel wrapped very low around his hips, according to NY Daily News. Rivera took the post down soon after, tweeting:
Note to self: no tweeting after 1am

In response, Beck posted a selfie of himself as well. Beck poked fun at Rivera, taking a similar photo in a bathroom towel, but also wearing several jackets and scarves.
Okay 49 isn't 70. But still - check out my bathroom towel pic! Sorry ladies I just can't turn this off! pic.twitter.com/p7n0gnPV9n

Rivera had posted his shirtless picture after having a couple drinks at 2:30am, he said in a radio interview. In the morning, he saw his embarrassed 18-year-old daughter had replied on his post, “TAKE THAT THING DOWN RIGHT NOW.”
“It was one of those ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time’ things,” Rivera said, laughing.
