“Anderson Cooper Tired Of Bear Jokes.” Does this mean no more clever remixes? [Gawker]

Before you get too excited, be clear that The Advocate’s Anderson Cooper cover story is not a coming out story. Sad, yes, but what can you do? Rather, the fag-rag’s dedicated it feature article on the always attractive silver fox.

And, also, homo-journo Sean Kennedy’s coming of gray age: I first spotted the gray a couple of months before my 30th birthday–three or four strands glistening on my left temple. I leaned into the mirror for a closer look and confirmed my worst nightmare: I was officially old. Sure, there were only a few hairs now, but it was only a matter of time — months, maybe a year? — before I’d be … Continued…

Proverbial reverend Al Sharpton insists he did not out Anderson Cooper.

Sharpton appeared on Cooper’s CNN show Wednesday to discuss James Dobson’s attack on Barack Obama, who Dobson claims is “distorting” the bible. Arguing against Dobson, Sharpton said, “I may have some very conservative personal feelings, but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I may think that what you do Anderson is gonna put you in Hell, but I’m gonna defend your right to get there.” Loads of people took this to be an unintentional “outing.”

Sharpton, however, claims he’s clueless to Cooper’s carnality. Sharpton, unaware of the controversy, told Gay City News, “I have no idea … Continued…

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper found himself the center of attention on his eponymous show last night.

The silver fox had invited Focus On The Family’s Tony Perkins, journo Roland Martin and Reverend Al Sharpton, whom we were surprisingly happy to see you. Well, we weren’t happy to see him, but we were tickled pink when, while discussing James Dobson’s blasting of Barack Obama, Sharpton kinda, sorta outed Cooper: “I may have some very conservative personal feelings but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I may think that what you do Anderson is gonna put you in Hell, but I’m gonna defend your right to get there.”

Cooper blushed before thanking Sharpton for his concern and insisting that he personally is “not that concerned” about his afterlife. And, really, why would he?

Watch the video, after the jump!

Why, oh why can’t Anderson Cooper be Donna Brazile’s “boo?” Let us count the reasons, which only amount to two. [Jossip]

CNN anchor and lust bunny Anderson Cooper turns 41 today. Watch a collection of past on-air celebrations - and then imagine one of your own. [HuffPo]

Homeboy Anderson Cooper recently used his enormous intellect and popular CNN news show to chat about a sleepy bear, which spurred an obviously bored, potentially unemployed reader to send in this video of Cooper’s audio and two human bears doing their bearish thing.

It’s mildly amusing and perfect for a lazy afternoon, just like Cooper.

The gay gossip mill’s in high gear this morning. Rumor has it that this man, JD Ordonez, had a two year relationship with Anderson Cooper. And we do me rumor…

The LA Rag Mag lads claim they met the 22-year old at some “gay mafia” party and learned the same-sex truth. They don’t, however, offer any proof of Ordonez and Cooper’s alleged loving. The site does include a piece of Ordonez’s MySpace biography: …I’ve been the party boy but seem to have out grown that phase a bit, but I still like to hang out with friends and have a kick ass time… I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and enjoy the compliments humbly. … Continued…

Anderson Cooper knows what troops want: “I saw this documentary on Marlene Dietrich, and during World War II she was going out, right to the front lines. I think she was having sex with a lot of the troops, too. I’m not saying artists should do that. But she took supporting the troops to a level that few have since.” [Soup Cans]

You know how some people say reporter Anderson Cooper shouldn’t cover “gay” things because he “may or may not be” a homosexual? Well, should Catholics be allowed to cover Pope Benedict XVI’s “historic” visit to the United States? Catholicism and same-sex loving are both controversial…

In even more war-ish news, the brutish Peter LaBarbera and his pals at Americans For “Truth” ain’t gay about Out’s list of the universe’s most powerful homos: We are intrigued by the fact that the same movement that once cried out for “privacy” and “to be left alone” feels free to publicly declare people’s homosexuality for them (Anderson Cooper, No. 2, and Jodie Foster, No. 43).

On the other hand, if OUT is right, it might explain Cooper’s bias in his reporting on the homosexual issue: in a recent interview that the CNN host did with pro and con advocates on a ”gay parenting” story, he blatantly favored the “gay” side in … Continued…

Anderson Cooper narrowly escaped certain death this morning. The silver-haired newsman told Kelly Ripa that a female stalker showed up at his apartment and then attempted to track him at the CNN offices. Cooper’s guest stint on Regis and Kelly thwarted her plans. Thanks, ABC! Later, Cooper stripped down to his t-shirt and showed off his Chelsea-esque biceps. He also got on his knees! OMG! [HuffPo]

Anderson Cooper sure does have an eye for detail. The newsman recently chilled with David Beckham and just happened to notice the soccer great’s new tattoo.

Anderson didn’t reveal, of course, that he’s got a life-sized Becks doll tucked in the corner of his closet.

Anderson Cooper wants you to know that the stitches under his eye aren’t cosmetic, nor are they from a battle with Charlie Rose. No, the CNN anchor had to have a bit of cancerous skin removed. And, yes, he’s fine. Your steady 10pm returns this evening. Wear bells. [Gawker]

Anderson Cooper has come a long way, baby!

Soup Cans came across this video of CNN’s main man covering the gay pride beat for former employer, ABC. Cooper’s not as confident or impassioned as his current persona, but the kids got heart and the tale’s sweet: old gay couple celebrate rainy pride. Awwwww.
