Richard Simmons is on a crusade to bring physical education back to the schools! Working out, of course, is something Anderson Cooper knows plenty about, even if he does wear his underwear while showering off the sweat. But no matter how much fitness can be had between these two, old habits die hard.

Two queens who aren’t out.
Javier
He likes “the Lady Gaga.”
Javier
They are certainly “out” as effeminate men.
MR
He doesn’t actually wear underwear in the shower at the gym, but that was a fun random rumor.

I loved this segment. Richard should have laid a big kiss on Anderson Cooper when he was working out.

It appears One Life to Live is gearing up to feature a gay storyline starring Scott Evans (Brother of Chris Evans) and Brett Claywell (Movie – Last Season). More details above.

honestly, Richard Simmons admitting that he sort of gets the joke about himself makes me not think as poorly about him as I have.

“I love the Lady Gaga, though”….. If that isn’t coming out, I don’t know what is.

I’ve had about as much as I can take of the Anderson Cooper, see: phoney baloney.
john
you can’t explain this type of denial to me, the fact that this gay stereotype in sparkles can’t just admit that he’s gay is a level of denial and self-hate that I just can’t fathom…I’m talking about Richard Simmons by the way.

@mikeandrewsdantescove: Wow, both of those characters are SO hot. They are also really good characters. OLTL is also much more interesting when it comes to other story lines than ATWT (the current gay soap) is. OLTL is also the third top rated soap right now (top rated for ABC and only behind Y&R and B&B). This storyline will definitely be welcomed.

@James: We all know if Simmons actually came out all those bored fat middle aged “christian” house wives would stop supporting him, and that would end his career.

What a queer walk Mr Simmons has(no pun intended).
“Many United States Countries” lol.

I seem to recall, years ago on the Howard Stern show, Howard dared him to do something, and Richard responded something along the lines of, “I’d rather eat pussy… and you know how much I like doing that, Howard!”

Girl, Miss Cooper sure does sneak a peak at Miss Richard’s fanny at around 2:37 minutes into this little show. Hmmmmmm, I thinks Miss Cooper wants a piece!

But Richard Simmons is straight. Didn’t you know that???

Richard Simmons is looking more and more like Krusty the Clown.

You know– Richard is one of those rare cases where I think ‘coming out’ would be bad. I don’t know if I can articulate this right, but.. he speaks to a population which is not sophisticated nor educated. EVERYONE knows he is more queer than a 3 dollar bill.. but, this ‘plausable deniability’ lets them accept him without too much dissonance. And, let’s be honest.. the people who watch him REALLY need someone like him. Who else is doing significant work with 400 lbs people? I think it is a tremendous sacrifice for him to edit himself as much as he does, and I applaud him for it.

Richard Simmons is an ex-catholic seminarian. It doesn’t get more closeted than that.
lol
andy has the hots for richard simmons
also, you know that fuzzy feeling you get when you see a really cute puppy and you just can’t contain the DAWWWWWWWWWWW
that’s what andy does for me :3
Tony
Let me chime in. Lady Gaga references represent a sly wink to teh gays. We get it. Loved seeing these two queens gay it up. You know Richards wants to ride on Mr. Cooper’s “disco stick” (lyrical reference to Lady Gaga, like you queens don’t know…).
Jay Pat
…so wait Cooper doesnt shower in his underwear? *plots*
Cam
@john: your last line of “I’m talking about Richard Simmons by the way” Hilarious! LOL!!!!!
