We doubt Anderson Cooper spends much time at Eastern Bloc — the New York City gay bar owned by boyfriend Benjamin Maisani — but even around the holidays? When nightlife personality Mike Diamond stopped by the bar’s Hanukkah Hairy party (or was that Hairy Hanukkah?), neither Cooper nor Maisani could be seen among the crowd. It’s as if they don’t want to be spotted in public together. Or with Jews.

Where Was Anderson Cooper At His Boyfriend’s Bar’s Hanukkah Party?

Mike Diamond is great!

Wow Queerty, now those are certainly some pretty cheap and petty shots, and during the holiday season to boot.
So hosting a Hanukkah party isn’t enough? It isn’t enough so they must be anti Semites? Jesus! Oh, and if they didn’t want to seen together in public, then wouldn’t Maisani been there while Cooper was at work? Or, if they didn’t want to seen together, they would not go bicycling together? Go to the gym together?

@Mike in Asheville, nee “in broklyn”:
I wouldn’t get so worked up. It’s just a blog. It’s not like this is actually a place to come for credible news. They just pluck what they want off the net and put it up on the site. I mean in 10+ years no one is going to say, “Remember Queerty, (Towleroad, Gawker, etc) and what credible information they provided?”.
Blogs are just for entertainment and shock value, nothing more.

Okay, I just took half a Xanax….
But remember, getting all up-and-up over silly posts can be, and in this case, is entertaining too. Having some fun at Queerty’s expense.

Benderson is one couple you can’t accuse of not wanting to be seen in public together, they’re always seen at some hot restaurant in NYC.

They’re spotted in public all around town. I don’t see why it’s strange Cooper’s not at this party, not being Jewish or hairy. I wish you’d have left out the petty cheap shots, it’s a funny clip. “My people did not wander in the desert for 40 years to have you walk into my shot, sir!”

Anderson probably took Ben on another LAVISH vacation. Ben doesn’t have to work anymore thanks to his sugar daddy.

Are Anderson and Ben getting married now? Anderson won’t be back on the air until NYE, when was the last time he took two weeks off, even for this time of year? A nice two week honeymoon, and his wedding date can be the same as his Mommy’s.

They may ALREADY be married and furnishing that big old firehouse AC’s rumored to have bought. They’ve been seen at Sotheby’s looking at old books up for auction.

That Jaiper getaway spot is a place for newlyweds.

Guess Anderson is TOO intellectual to be hanging out here. Or, could it be? Maybe he’s still in the closet and playing macho man? With his bear of a bf? Hahahah… Freak.
