Geraldo Rivera Has Nearly Nude Anthony Weiner Selfie Moment on Twitter

Geraldo Rivera caused a stir on Twitter Sunday when he posted a picture of himself wearing only his rose-colored glasses and a well-placed towel.

"70 is the new 50," read the caption on Rivera's selfie, which he later deleted.

But his 43,800 followers had already gotten an eyeful of the TV host and the damage was done.

I like how Geraldo Rivera deleted his shirtless selfie pic as if that'll stop me from making it my Christmas card this year.

Geraldo Rivera posted a nude selfie on twitter and later deleted it. I just threw up in my mouth at the thought.

"This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when I fall asleep first," Rivera's wife Erica told E! News. "Thank God we have towels in the bathroom. But I'm proud my husband looks so hot!"

Rivera summed up the incident with another tweet later on Sunday.

Note to self: no tweeting after 1am
