CNN’s silver fox turns 42 today! Sure, Anderson Cooper‘s ratings may be in decline, his hips may be hurting, and his sexual preferences may be skewing older. But is all hope lost for the Cooper as he clocks another year?
Like all important life matters, we turned to the stars! According to CafeAstrology.com: “Romantic and creative passions are themes this year. Exploring your feelings, and a spirited approach to relating, figure strongly. Personal popularity increases, and your open heart brings positive new experiences into your life. Your mind is especially restless this year, and you are hungry for new experiences and for answers. However, watch for a tendency to misplace your faith in projects that require more attention to facts. A more goal-oriented approach to life, along with determination to overcome setbacks, brings success.”
Sure, that could mean anything, but in the case of Cooper it probably means more shark diving, new relationships, and more filling in for Regis Philbin.

Being out: the experience of a lifetime.
anonymous
Happy birthday, Anderson!
Bitch, please!
I am so tired of this cowardly queen, either come out or get out! Yeah, please go away.
eric
1 and 3: exactly. please stop featuring him in our blogs and on our magazine covers.
Lee
What does one get the Celebrity Fag Hags’ Favorite Closeted Fag On The Best Dressed List for Her Birthday?
Why wire coat hangers of course!
42 and his balls STILL haven’t descended? Call Guiness!
InExile
Oh, he looks much older than 42!!!!! Shilling for Bush for the last 8 years must have aged him.
Nitesurf
1 and 3: exactly. please stop featuring him in our blogs and on our magazine covers.
Queerty ONLY features Anderson to mock him and get their readers to hurl all kinds of hate at him. Why would they want to stop something they get so much enjoyment out of?
Nitesurf
And btw, he looks great for 42. Happy Birthday AC!
Cam
Every single person who has come out has more courage than this guy. He seems like a nice fellow with a sense of humor, but I just have zero respect for him.
alan brickman
coming out would be a new experience for sure!!
Brutus Maximus
Yeah.
Coming out would be a new experience.
Show your stuff, Coop, and maybe, just maybe, another 11 y/o won’t be gay-bullied in school, and then quietly kill themselves at home.
Role model. Sure, we can’t relate to being a Vanderbilt, but now that we have a black man (African-American) in The White House, how about having a GAY man deliver the news.
You just might do something positive.
Other than that, unless you’re busting his little nutz, stop glamourizing him.
OUT HIM, ALREADY!

@Nitesurf:
You would have been a stitch and a half with the other pink triangle wearers in the camps, Nitesurf.
“Oh, Maria, look at that SS guard! Isn’t he dreamy? Those blue eyes! That sexy uniform! And, Freundin, the whip! Everybody: climb every mountain!!!!”
Fitz
@Nitesurf: I’m not posting a pic on this site.. but I am 42. And I look a HELL OF A LOT healthier and younger, even with a little tummy. It’s the relaxed look of being out. Keeps the wrinkles and jowls down.
andrew madrid
I think he’s cool. He was pretty out when I saw him at the “little bee” cafe in the west village way back in his post Mole days. He was pretty out and scoping me in broad day light in the cramped cafe, I was with my bf so that was how far it got. Just saying he’s not the devil and he is he is a pretty cute one.
nikko
You AC haters are pathetic. The only people who should be outed are closeted people of power who do harm to gays by speaking out against them and supporting anti-gay laws. Apart from that, mind you own business.
Nitesurf
Thank you Nikko.
And I look a HELL OF A LOT healthier and younger,
@Fitz, Uh, since there’s no proof of what you really look like, I’ll stick with my original assertion that Anderson looks damn good for his age.
Everyone makes a big deal about how Anderson’s so uptight about his sexuality, but I don’t see any indication that the criticism he gets for it from sites like this has any effect on him one way or the other, he’s living his life the way he wants regardless of the negativity towards him, so what’s the point of wasting time focusing on HIM when there are more important issues out there than his sexuality. Not to mention the fact that there are plenty of others on TV who are gay and silent about it. But no, Anderson always has to be the big villain here.

Kathie Griffin and Suzie Orman both wished Anderson Cooper a happy birthday at the end of the newscast tonight. I mean how gay is that? Screams to me. Too bad he is filling in for Regis in the morning. No partying with America’s greatest fag hag and lesbian, except for Rosie and Ellen.
Lee
Fag ‘Tards for Cooper!
And they say the Obamoonies are brainwashed!
rrr
@Georgiaguy: Kathy and Suze gave him a star shaped floating balloon with a fairy on it. That may be the gayest birthday surprise ever televised.
scott
@Fitz: If he’s had more stress to age him than you I would guess it has more to do with the family deaths, ducking bullets and bombs, prison in foreign countries, swimming around with sharks, and the inevitable constant public scrutiny brought on by fame.
He’s out in his regular life just not officially out on the world stage. Since I doubt anyone posting here is famous, that means he’s had about as much experience coming out and living out as the rest of us. Hopefully he’ll come out at some point, which will be good for us but he’ll still have the other stresses and probably additional stress from having an increased number of people trying to pry into his love life (if an increase is actually possible at this point).

@Brutus Maximus:
OUT HIM, ALREADY!
Where have you been? Queerty and every other gay media outlet and some straight ones have outed him over and over for years. He’s the only closeted gay guy in TV news who IS outed and he gets it all the time. He’s living proof that someone can’t actually become out as a result of outings. At this point he’s as out as he’s ever going to be until he goes public himself with an announcement.
Rita
Can’t be a Jewish thing, being coy I mean. Richard Quest got caught with drugs and a rope tied around his balls and neck and was back on CNN within six months. Still has a bit of a gravel voice (rope too tight?) but otherwise he acts as nothing ever happened. Wonder-boy and Zionist Cooper still needs to get there.
pscye_tweet
why the screaming about a person’s decision not to shout & declare his sexual orientation…come on guys, we should all chill and just let the guy come out on his own time – besides, he’s not out there demonizing the gay community to deflect any gay rumors swirling around him…….we cannot shove down our way of doing things on others throasts just because they’re also gay! last thing i checked, the gay movement came into being because of the community’s desire for freedom – freedom to live according to how he chooses to live life – DEMANDING Anderson to come out negates that very choice the pioneers of the gay movement have fought for.
goony tunes
happy bday curmudgeon!

Some people just look like they have bad breath, he’s one of them.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and
engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I found
this in my hunt for something regarding this.
