Anderson Cooper's Guilty Pleasures
In this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, Anderson unloads to Dave Karger about, among other more serious topics, his television viewing habits...
"I TiVo a lot of shows on MTV—stuff like My Super Sweet 16 that's jaw-dropping and mind-numbing—and I'll watch it on weekends. Now I like Tiara Girls. Oh, my God. On the second season of Super Sweet 16, all the really horrible girls had seen the first season and were trying to top them in horribleness. On Tiara Girls, there's a fresh level of horror."
OMG!!! LOL. BRB...

I saw him briefly on Regis and Kelly before I left for a late day to work. He was a riot with the dorkiest laugh. It was hilarious how awkward it would get when Kelly would talk about crushing on him.

Is admitting to watching Tiara Girls the same thing as coming out?
Posted by: Sam | May 31, 2006 9:30:44 AM
I have a hard time believing that Cooper would actually allow himself to be quoted with phrases "like" and "Oh, my God", but he is human.
It is funny how he stays so very adament about his "neutral" position as a credible journalist, but juxtaposes that to moments like this. To me, he's just the cutest dork.

Why doesn't he just say I like to suck big d****? God, I want him so bad.

What is really amazing is that no one asks him the million dollar question..are you gay or do you have a boyfriend??

What is "BRB"?

BRB = Be Right Back.

Haven't we moved past the point where we demand all gays and lesbians in the public wearing placards declaring their sexuality? God, leave the man alone! I think outing would only be appropriate if he were making homophobic comments, or campaigning for legal measures against the community. And, where did this "power bottom" urban legend come from? Or, is it just wishful thinking???

BeneDICK Arnold. Fuck him, and not in the good way.
Posted by: Leland | May 31, 2006 11:09:17 AM
I was wondering what was taking Leland so long to post in. After all A. C. won't wear a name tag that reads I SUCK COCK so therefore in Leland's view of a perfect world A C deserves to be called a name and insulted.
I am glad I don't live by Leland's standards of what is correct in this world. I think I would be a sad and bitter person and if that were added to my natural awkwardness it would be quite tragic.

while i totally respect Anderson Cooper's right to privacy -- I also can see the incredible benefit to a very well known public figure fessing up & getting real with America & the world.
What a wonderful role model we could have in this man
Posted by: Shirley | May 31, 2006 11:56:39 AM
Yes Shirley!!
The argument that straight people don't go around telling people they are straight is utterly ridiculous as the pics of their spouses on their desks and tales of the weekend do all the talking. Meanwhile the gays don't talk about anything personal at work because "it's nobody's business." Bullshit.
I do not understand why people equate admitting to being gay with walking around with a placard or jumping on a soapbox.
Posted by: jmg | May 31, 2006 12:11:34 PM
While I don't agree with Donald or Leland entirely, I do find it hard to accept that AC is getting away with airing all his family's "dirty laundry," especially the suicide of his brother about which he always previously refused to speak, but yet no mention about any love life. If this were someother striaght celebrity, half the book would be about the spouse/relationships, and if it weren't, all would be aflutter about what the author left out. AC may be cute, etc., and sure I'd like to meet him as he leads an interesting life, but I think that once he decided to write this book, he legitimately could not leave out any part of his life, including Julio or whatever his name is.
So a pox on AC for being a coward. Not for not putting on a rainbow sash and struting around Splash or El Mirage, but for leaving out key bits of who he is, some might say even the most important part of who he is. You don't write an autobiography and leave out the interesting bits.

Andy is a dope. I hope a studio light falls on his head.
Posted by: filthywhorefromsouthjerseyagain | May 31, 2006 1:36:19 PM
Donald: I share your amazement at Leland's reticence. I would think, though, that Leland would totally approve of Mr. Cooper: There's not a single thing about him that's effeminate, faggish or stereotypical...oops...I just read what Mr. Cooper said. No wonder Leland's having a kitten. The guy's a raving queen whose flamboyance is an affront to gay men everywhere.

I wish you people would spend as much time discussing the gays in the RNC, on Republican Congressional staffs as you do A.C, or Jakey G.
There's something mean-spirited & bitter about these threads.
Posted by: hadassah weinreb | May 31, 2006 2:19:01 PM
Whatever Anderson's sexual preference is, as a public figure, he has accepted certain responsibilities par his occupation, even though it may be unwanted.
No one is free. If you want to be free, go to an island and isolate yourself from society. To all those bickering whether he should come out or not, ask of yourself if you can live up to such demands from complete strangers. To Anderson who thinks that not mentioning to people about Cesar, does right to your relationship and to your brothers and sisters that look up to you for inspiration, shame on you. And to everybody commenting rudeness on this, get a life.

MY take on AC? AC knows we know, and is having fun by teasing us.... And while others maybe offended that AC doesn't wear a "I'ma big fag..." t-shirt on national TV, I respect that AC doesn't attempt to hide or mislead us with beards and super-model dating on Page Six; unlike some other "gay celebrities". While we might like to know who he's been cuddling with, do we need to know? If we do, then we have no yet reached to point where it doesn't make any difference. I'd like to think that maybe we have reached the maturity that we don't need to know.
Posted by: Ted B. (Charging Rhino) | May 31, 2006 2:37:12 PM
Belive me, when the RNC or Republican legislators get staff members as hot as Messrs. Cooper and Gyllenhaal, I'll be happy to queer all over them.
Posted by: JT | May 31, 2006 2:45:01 PM
I was surprised to see the acknowledgement of "Julio" aka Cesar in Anderson's book. He's never mentioned his name ONCE. For those people who know who Julio/Cesar is, it's quite a revelation.
Posted by: Mark | May 31, 2006 4:17:39 PM
So who the heck is he? Or is this some marketing ploy to get me to buy the book?
Posted by: JT | May 31, 2006 5:05:32 PM
Is there a feeling that you're being out stops you from acheiving the same success he has? Do you wish you had the anonymity?
Posted by: Anonymous | May 31, 2006 5:12:34 PM
Julio/Cesar, AC's long-rumored, mysterious bf.
Posted by: Mark | May 31, 2006 5:13:37 PM
Anderson's SO serious on 360. The thought of him getting off on ridiculous shows like Super Sweet and Tiara Girls is kind of endearing.
Posted by: Zack | May 31, 2006 5:23:33 PM
...HOT.....
Posted by: Lee | May 31, 2006 6:01:47 PM
I saw him at the Roxy on a Saturday night a few years back - alone.... hmmmm
Posted by: Rob | May 31, 2006 6:14:14 PM
I talked about AC for a couple of posts in my blog. While I dont think he has to wear a pink triangle on his lapel and interview thru the lens of a gay man, I do believe he should have at least acknowledged his orientation in his book. He was paid 1 million dollars for a Memoir, a story about his life, and though it was interesting, you cant have a book about your life and not once mention you framed some of your experiences in your life thru now by being gay. I still like AC, and he can butch it up in the newsroom all he wants, but if he wants us to pay good dollars about his personal life, make it have at least small parts of ALL of your personal life in it.

First, I love love love how Coopie laughs.
Second, I've watched him answering this question some weeks/months ago on the internet. But I have searched youtube and malcontent inside out, with zero result.
As far as I remember, he did say nothing on Tiara Girls though.
Posted by: Zakky | May 31, 2006 6:50:53 PM
What if he just doesn't want to be the a poster boy for all gay men. Can you blame him? Jeez!
Posted by: jon luddite | May 31, 2006 7:04:29 PM
Tiara Girls......nah. The gay episodes of Next and Parental Control......yes!
Posted by: Johnny Lane | May 31, 2006 7:53:42 PM
doesn't he have an asian boyfriend? he is a rice queen, isn't he?
Posted by: kk | May 31, 2006 11:04:37 PM
Anderson's rumored to love men of color, but that's been going around for a while, his last bf prior to his current Julio Cesar (who is Dominican and looks like a mix of black/Latino), was white and appears to also be acknowledged in the book.
Posted by: Mike | May 31, 2006 11:19:31 PM
Dating someone from a different race doesn't automatically mean you "love" (insert your own implications here - sorted or otherwise) that race exclusively btw (Rice queen? Ugh! How disgustingly archaic and by archaic I mean 1970's racial/sexual cynicsm!) Honestly people are scary/twisted as hell - If I were Anderson and/or his bf I would live my life as it were my own - especially after reading some of the nonsense parading around message boards.
Posted by: Giovanni | May 31, 2006 11:55:32 PM
I was only relaying the rumor about him "loving" men of color, it's not something that I believe to be true, I think he's probably just open to dating all kinds of men.
Posted by: Mike | Jun 1, 2006 12:14:16 AM
If he is or isn't, I have to agree with the above comment.. the phobes in the Republican party, that also suck cock, deserve WAY more scrutany than AC. He's hot, we want him, but these dopes like Karl Rove etc. somehow escape getting outed, and it's way more important that hypocrisy like that gets busted. Plus, BIG credit to AC for not feigning straightness by dating Penelope Cruz, btw.
Posted by: DoubleA | Jun 1, 2006 10:52:44 AM
Anderson writes a memoir about his life and yet he leaves the most important part out. Sexuality and love is a big part of his life. He's being a hypocrite for leaving this part out.
Posted by: Jack Twist | Jun 1, 2006 12:40:01 PM
It's NOT a memoir about his life. It's a "memoir of war, disaster, and survival."
Read the bookcover dumbasses!
Posted by: mybusinessnotyours | Jun 5, 2006 8:57:14 PM
I doubt he is. He just doesn't give off the gay guy vibe. Plus with his work schedule how would anyone have time to have a relationship
Posted by: j | Jul 29, 2006 9:48:58 PM
does anyone know where i can find the whole show where he filled in for regis?? ive only seen clips and i want to see the whole thing so badly!!
Posted by: breana | Jul 31, 2006 9:25:16 PM
Anderson Cooper is adorable, no question. But, I empathize with his position and his choice to be quiet on the matter. He investigates and relays the news. He doesn't want to become the news...and that's exactly what would happen if he came out. I also empathize with homosexuals who need homosexual role models either for the purpose of accepting themselves and finding the courage to come out, or in hopes of gaining greater acceptance in American society. But, bear in mind, homosexuals make up approximately 10% of the American population. The other 90% of us don't care or could potentially be turned off (thinking straight men here). His job is to get people to watch him. Isn't it in his best interest to keep the most viewers as possible glued to CNN? That means both women AND men, of all sexual orientations. I wouldn't come out either.
Posted by: AFemale | Feb 1, 2007 11:53:23 PM
I think that homosexuality will be offensive and apalling to heterosexuals as long as homosexuals are offended and appalled by owning their own sexuality. That sentence sounds ridiculous, but that's the whole point, really. And to say that only 10% of the population is gay or bisexual is a joke. To AFEMALE (the last commenter): Take off the blinders and really get to know some people, perhaps even yourself...you'd be surprised. As a public personality, you have a certain power and influence--a duty that comes with the territory. Ellen came out and look what happened. Sure, her sitcom got cancelled, but she made great movement. And now her place in the public eye has been rightfully returned to her. It takes time to change people's minds, but the right leaders who are willing to make short-term sacrifices can do it--because the long-term rewards are so worth it.
Posted by: Jd | Mar 16, 2007 3:00:24 AM
He is very gorgeous with the personality and intelligence to match, but his sexual orientation will remain mystery... Please leave he alone. Don't violate another's privacy. The privacy is worth every penny. Losing privacy is side effect of becoming famous. Anyway, no matter what happens, I'll be at Anderson side. Even though he's gay.... =)

Anderson Cooper can do no wrong,I have heard he has a big dick.Bet its as juicy as Anderson looks.
Posted by: Robert | Jun 12, 2007 4:43:22 PM
Bet anderson cooper shoots a huge load of juicy cum,wonder if he cums every day?
Posted by: Robert | Jun 20, 2007 3:16:02 PM
MY DREAM IS: TO SUCK ANDERSON COOPER OFF AND SWALLOW HIS CUM ALL NIGHT,LICK HIS ASSHOLE,BALLS,LEGS,FEET,AND TOES,THEN START ALL OVER AGAIN, HE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD PERIOD.
Posted by: bob | Jul 11, 2007 5:15:35 PM
I thnk anderson cooper cums a big load when he shoots off,WOW, wish i could catch every drop in my Virginia mouth!
Posted by: Robert | Aug 2, 2007 4:18:10 PM
Okay, I have an idea why he refuses to come out. He is one of the most well known journalist in the world who has to interview different kind of people from different cultures, background, socioeconomic status, gender, intelligence, etc. Since homosexuality is still considered a taboo subject to whisper about and even classified as a crime that could be punished by death in a lot of countries that he has to cover news in (e.g. the middle eastern countries, countries in Asia, etc) it would be dangerous and may influence the people's answers to his questions. Certainly, it isn't a necessary move for now. Yes it is such a shame that he has to do this, that a lot of gay men and women all around the world have to say that "it's nobody business" in order to survive but, it doesn't mean that they're not fighting for their rights from behind the camera.
Posted by: Shan | Aug 7, 2007 2:48:36 PM
I watch 360 every night,and when anderson cooper is not on the show,i am heartbroken.I love everything about this man.He makes me cum when hes on tv.I could live with and care for this man even when he is 75 years of age.he has so much of what we all want: beautiful body which i would like to see in at least his shorts,charming personality,honest reporting,so easy on the eyes,and when he laughs,i simply melt. I love you Anderson,keep up the good work,and stop taking time off.
Posted by: Robert | Aug 22, 2007 11:26:08 AM
WHAT A HUNK: ANDERSON COOPER CAN HAVE HIS FILTHY WAY WITH ME ANYTIME.
Posted by: HOT LIPS | Aug 22, 2007 11:29:58 AM
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE ANDERSON IS GAY
HE CANT BE
HE JUST CANT!!!!
Posted by: BRANDY | Oct 25, 2007 1:39:24 AM
Anderson reminds me of a younger Paul Newman.
Why don't you all leave him alone. Just say nice things about him,and stop being so damn jealous becase he has looks,and has made it on his own. You are all assholes.
Posted by: bob | Dec 8, 2007 5:34:02 PM
Can someone tell my friend Joe that Anderson Cooper is GAY?????
Posted by: Nestor | Jan 1, 2008 10:01:35 PM
I can suck a golf ball through a 50' garden hose,come on anderson cooper let me have it,and whitewash my throat with a big load of your hot cum!
Posted by: bob | Feb 29, 2008 6:36:04 PM
I know Anderson knows I am watching him,I can tell when he looks into the camera when taking a commercial break,the look is simply piercing,and only for me!
