Bear enthusiast Anderson Cooper may not be angling for his own Playgirl shoot a la Levi Johnston — the prude won't even dance on televsion — but he's still getting the same paparazzi treatment when he's working on his fitness. But this is what we need to get Larry King's less-than-muscular frame out of our mind every weeknight.
Meanwhile, find us one straight newsman who cares this much about his body. Besides Dan Abrams.

Ha ha ha. What a yo-yo! Good for the goose, eh Anderson. Does anyone actually like him?
He's a HOT lesbian!
lol. that's effin' awesome.
he was a good sport. at least on camera.
nice, big guns.
Matt Lauer?
And I like him, Vito.
I don't think it's intentional on his part, but the not dancing, not coming out, etc. works very well for getting people to obsess over him. This just seems to drive some people crazy. I think AC is great, but according to these pics, he needs to give his forearms more attention to bring them into a little more proportion with his great guns.
I have heard rumors that he has discussed the possiblity of comming out, the consensus is that it would not have a negative effect on his current position. However he is gunning to replace Larry King and his people feel coming out would prevent that assignment. I guess the blue haired ladies in the red states would lose it if a Gay were to take the place of King. We gots to give him some credit, at least he doesn't parade around with a beard and never actually denies being a Gay, unlike the vast majority of the closeted media types………………..
Amen, Terrwill.
I also give Anderson credit for being very good-natured about the ribbing he takes from his co-hostess.
I would prefer Levi Johnston for a one-nighter, but the Coop for a long-term relationship. I believe that he is a truly good person.
Many queens are bile-green with envy — okay, he's rich — and good looking — but given Anderson's brother's suicide, dysfunctional mother, etc. he has tried to do good, in his own way, with national and international stories…New Orleans, for example.
Give the guy a break. Live and let live.
Wow…Cooper's making his sex-face! Don't ask he how I know…
Photoshop. AC doesn't have a body or guns. Trust me.
Hm, so I guess I must also trust you on that someone must have photoshopped every picture and video of him the last couple of years then. ;)
Having big guns is no substituted for have a 'big gun,' nor does having big guns make you any better in bed, trust me I know.

I thought Dan Abrams was gay too. Is he straight?
He's a newscaster for Christ'ssake, albeit a good one. That's all!
Like MANY people, he has made the choice to keep his personal life and his professional life separate.
Some media personalities, especially at state and local levels don't even use their real name on-air. It seems somewhat similar to a woman continuing to use her maiden name at work eventhough she is married.
Anyone who has spent time in the West Village knows that A.C. is anything but secretive about his sexual orientation.
If someone like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity were closeted, I could understand the uproar, because they pronounce anti-gay sentiments from their "pulpits." People don't dis Barbara Walters about being professionally discreet about her affair for years and years.
I happend to know that Brian (above) is right. Anderson has done many kind and generous things for people, but always with complete discretion, almost anonymity.
Given his privileged background, he is really very pleasant and down to earth.
To each his own.
@Qjersey
Being in bed with someone who is fit and attractive definitely adds to the experience. Nobody is saying it is everything to sex, but it is an asset in sex and of course fitness is an asset in life generally. And when you aren't in bed nice good biceps are a nice thing to look at and healthy inspiration for more sex.
I don't blame Cooper for working out a lot.
He has to keep up with his HUNKY new boyfriend who owns East Village bar Eastern Bloc.

Hot!
Gosh, we should leave Anderson alone and not blow his chance for a promotion at CNN. What if he is down to his last 42 million?
Can you blame him for being closeted?
Anderson Cooper= sexiest newscaster ever. I want to fucking marry him and bear his children. I want to clean up his house. I want to wash his dirty undies. I want to make him dinner when he comes home from work.
Holy shit is he hot.
SORRY kids his arms are NOT that big!!!!! But cute photoshop pic.
I've heard he dates black men only. Is this true??
It's a real pic. His muscles are showing to some extra effect because he was caught in the middle of a work out flexing his arms against a weight.
@ Kris
No, that rumor just started because he's dated some black men and in our community it seems like you can't date interracially without everyone assuming you have an obsessive fetish. Same reason people have claimed he's a rice queen and that he only dates latinos. He's dating a white frenchman currently.
Has he really dated black men in the past or is that just some old rumors floating around the internet? I find it very hard to believe because Anderson seems like the whitest, WASPiest man on the planet. He and his current bf are pretty hot together and he managed to keep it under the radar long before any pictures ever came out of the two of them.
Love Erica Hill, she´s funny! Leave My Boo alone…
Whoever took this is the ultimate asshole. People — even closeted celebrities — should be able to work out in peace. The gym is like a church – sacred space, although I'm sure this asshole would take a camera shot of someone in a confession box.
@Melly….He likes to date people who are different than himself and non-WASPy. The guy Anderson dated for years who he thanked in his book is a blatino Dominican. Reportedly he had a black boyfriend for a while when he was with ABC News.
His mother is the same way about being attracted to people who aren't from her own background. Look at her husbands: an italian who was Lucky Luciano's right hand man in LA, a european conductor, a jewish director and a guy from a southern farm family. Gloria was dating the black director of Shaft when Anderson was a teenager.
Interesting tidbits from RRR.
I guess noone can accuse Anderson or Gloria of bigotry.
@RRR, I wasn't aware of Anderson's actual history with men of color, but considering his mom's openess to dating outside of her race, I guess it's not surprising that her son would follow suit. Now that you mention it, I do remember Anderson making some complimentary statements about Gordon Parks, now it makes sense.
damn.. looking a little old mans there anderson :\
His grandmother was a Spaniard; he's not that ASPy. No W needed: all ASes are W.
He should give those guns a rest. They're almost grotesque.
Vito, Vito, Vito. You may have just got off your UFO this morning.
He's disgusting.
I'm not sure, unless you're a racist, that it should make a whole lot of difference who you try going to bed with or have a relationship with. There is notion to be inhereited but a lack of bigotry.
In any case I give credit to anyone who wants to be and remain attractive and to be in better health and live lonfger by working out. It's certainly a persons choice if they want to be unattractive or not.
He's hot.
since i couldn't have said it any better, i'll just say i agree with brian 100 percent. besides, cooper has never failed to come to the defense of the gays or ask the tough questions of those who would deny us equality. he's doing more now, whether out or in or whatever, than many, many people could dream of doing.
