For Christ's sake, leave the man alone. If he doesn't want to come out, it's his own business. He does his job - what he does on his own time is his own business.

Michael Musto is a freak who AC wouldn't talk to if someone held a gun to his head. Musto is just jealous.

There is no way Anderson Cooper would be dating someone that white or that plain looking.

Anderson likes them dark and nasty and under 20 years of age. Anderson's sexual prowess as a "power bottom" in the Cheklsea neighborhood of NYC is renowned. In fact he often takes on two guys at a time at the Barton Gym in Chelsea.

AND IN RESPONSE TO CARRIE:

I would fully agree with you if Anderson limited his public profile to his newsreporting.

But Anderson has written two books about his family and himself without ever mentioning in a single line his personal relationships. And he is always flouting every aspect of his personal life in everyone's faces except the most important aspect of his personal life at all.

It is sad really. While all the other gay intelligentsia go to Empire State Pride Agenda dinners and get to live a fully rounded gay lifestyle poor Anderson lives his gay life in the shadows. And if he had come out it would have been just one facet of his personality instead of turning him into laughingstock of straight world and disgust of the gay world.

@Tony: He's written one book, not two.

and @Jossip: PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. For real, taking Musto on his word? Why? This doesn't even read remotely plausible.

I think Tony the Tiger has some seriously off base info there.

Straight or homosexual, what does it matter?!? I am sure sexual orientation was not a recquirement for his job. Mr. Cooper does his job just fine… Betsy from Wisconsin

Wow, everything Tony said is wrong. He even got the number of books Cooper has written wrong.

Maybe, if in our community there wasn't so many people like you who direct towards our celebrities so much bitter jealousy and spite and who manufacture and spread ugly and entirely untrue rumors, guys like Cooper would be more interested in flying the banner for us. Do you actually think you're doing something positive? It's widely know Cooper is gay, and that reflects pretty well on us since he is respected as a classy guy and a dignified professional. That's the reason why so many gays are eager for him to come out - to get credit for someone like that being part of the community. Attempting to smear him can only make the rest of us look bad by reflection and is obviously going to make him less interested in listening to the demands of people like you.

Anderson Cooper is so hot. I never realized he is gay. Now he is even more appealing. I would love to have a fuckfest with him.

Cooper is still hot would have never known he was gay, I am sure that many people would not watch his show if he did come completely out of the closet. It has been know he may have dated a guy in Indianapolis who runs a Pharmacy for Anthem.

That is so not true. My girlfriend in Austin told me Anderson dates my ex girlfriend Krystle Russin. She cheated on me with him in 2007. They are like secretly engaged.

Andrew, why do you like to gossip about your ex-girlfriend when you are engaged yourself? Any regrets you may have now are the result of your own choices.

He is gay. He has been seen at the Roxy in NYC dancing with other men on multiple occasions….

Being curious about someones sexuality is normal, being judgemental because someone doesn't confess it is, while also normal, silly. I can't recall ever reading such detailed discussion on some celebrities heterosexuality. Being gay is just one of the many aspects of my character and certainly not the most defining. Why should it be for Anderson Cooper. Like him or not for his work but whether or not he claims to be gay should not be a part of the variable.

Does "Krystle Russin" know he is gay? I.E., dates men? Sounds to me like "Krystle Russin" needs to stop starting rumors about herself on several different blogs appearing to be a celebrity. Darling, she is not a celebrity, (and most likely, will never be one). She seems to be a hack with some self esteem issues. Please, stop writing about yourself, we all know it you.

Andy, I am a good friend of Krystle and you and your girlfriend need to stop these blog wars. Its immature and really rude. Thanks.

#1 You have no right to talk about other people in this manner. To me, whether Mr. Cooper wants to be gay, bisexual, or straight, it doesn't matter. He's smart, good at what he does, attractive, and for all I know, probably a better person than some of the losers picking on him, and you know what, should some people want to pick on a poor girl because of a crazy, personal issue they have against her, do it like a real man or woman via e-mail, not on a public blog or forget it about it altogether like an adult. Is this 7th grade all over again? Don't tell me. Next, you'll post that "Wolf Blitzer stole someone's homecoming date in 2004," and begin responding in sequence to that huge drama.

#2 It's hilarious how you accuse someone of writing on several different blogs when Googling, the original blog postings all share the same dates and timestamps, and coincidence now! The fake "responses" to them share yesterday's date and timestamp. I'm not saying anything about it. Yeah, I am pretty sure bloggers happen to post all at once, usually 1 or 2 minutes apart on 20 blogs in one day all about the same people.

#3 Smearing someone online, I do not care who it is, is plain out wrong. All I can see it proving is that someone, or in this case, several people take up all the room in your dead brain cells that you blog for hours on several occasions focusing on these people. I wouldn't call it jealousy, only because the idea of you being jealous and thinking for yourself is too hard for me to believe. I am amazed the several of you in Houston and that other Texas city knew how to read well enough to find this blog.
==================================================
I'm posting this on both Cooper blogs to prove my point. If you want to say something aloud, the several of you need doing this need to write it in your pink, fluffy diary and leave other people alone for once. You could, I don't know, get a job that involves real skills.

As a resident of Chelsea and a member of David Barton Gym, I can assure you that Anderson Cooper does NOT take on anyone at the gym, let alone 2 at a time as Tony Tiger suggests. Believe me, I would like to witness that, or even be a part of it. But, alas, Mr Cooper is a perfect gentleman who does his work out, stays focused on what he is doing, changes at his locker without even so much as a glance at anyone else and goes on to do a great job at CNN.
If Anderson Cooper is gay, you certainly could not tell by seeing him at the gym. Its nice to see a smart, handsome, successful, famous man (gay or not) just going about his business. Obviously, Tony the Tiger is none of those.
Keep doing whatever you do, Anderson. It works.

Why don't I throw out some fun facts about a few the people posting the negative info about Mr. Cooper and Miss Russin mentioned here? Because you do enjoy starting rumors so much and trashing people, it only seems fair. Here are some case numbers for anyone who wants to search for them in Austin, Texas/Travis County, Texas:

085040499
085041792
085042041
082321895

That's all the numbers I have on hand at the moment, though there are others. Since some of the info might be sealed now that time has passed, with a bit of it going unreported to the police only because it's too time consuming to report it all, how about a cute summary for you:

Stolen books, DVDs, outdoor patio bricks, smashed plants, flowers taken as "souvenirs." A dead, tropical, pet shop bird thrown over the gate onto the driveway near the garage. Marijuana rolls/cigarettes, food wrappings, empty beer/soda bottles, wet tissue, mail and bank statements with the loiterer's last name printed littered in the front portion of the yard before the gate/driveway. This man pretends to own Miss Russin's house, continuously trespasses beyond her gate to enter her yard, talks to her gardener to hire him to work at "his house," brings food and beverages for the gardener's work staff one morning to thank them while he eats with them, eats breakfast in her backyard at her patio table on several occassions. He goes out of his way to ask anyone Miss Russin has contacted about her or ruin her friendships/relationships by spreading rumors about them to make them blame her by association. He frequently parks a vehicle choice of his blue truck, white truck, black SUV, or silver SUV/van(?) at the church across the street although he is neither a member of the Lutheran faith or has business there, generally 24 hours a day when he is in town, or parks behind her house hoping for a direct view into her bedroom. Luckily, she was never home for her to catch her in her bedroom in 2008, has since moved, and you can see why.

Flooding her garage one morning by pushing the garden hose under the door (after trespassing, I should add). A large rock thrown at her car parked outside that missed the car. An attempt to steal her outdoor cat. Following her around town or when she walks outside. Endless harassing phone calls. Hacking her instant messaging account. He often brings several people along when he chooses to spy on her home from across the street.

There's more to this, but I shall stop here.

Apart from cases involving the man and Miss Russin, there was the other time when this person trespassed into U. of Texas football coach Mack Brown's yard enough that he moved to a new neighborhood, stole a boat for two days before giving it back with the excuse he borrowed it, shoplifts though he is a millionaire, has started word-of-mouth rumors about Lance Armstrong, etc. He has experience with this sort of thing. Unfortunately, he is a guy where a lot of people don't know much about him beyond his public persona.

Finally, why do I suggest this young man may have something personal against Mr. Cooper along with this? Because one of the books he stole from her was "Dispatches from the Edge." Interesting.

Several typos in that last post. That should read "for him to catch her" etc.

There are some weird folks on this blog. Everyone going on and on about weirdos in Texas…..I am confused.

Either way, Anderson Cooper is a great journalist, I don't care if he is gay or straight.

Look what happened to Thomas Roberts from CNN. You should google him. When a man comes out they lose their job. When a woman does….seems not to be a problem. ie. Ellen, Rachel Madow, Rosie. Anderson is a good person but it would help a lot of youth to have a role model like him.

@Weird people: Hey friend, I recognize your comma usage style. Nice to see that posting merited a quick apologetic response from you, almost backtracking your earlier postings. How's Melbourne treating you? It's supposed to be about 100 degrees there this time of year.

@Terry: I remember that. How unfair to fire him…

The malice of some comments here prevent some very wonderful people, like Anderson from coming out.

In this cosmic world what does it really matter if one was gay or not.

If he indeed is, let's just let him be. Look at him as a very beautiful man who happens to be gay, just like the way we look at the US President now, a wonderful man, who just happens to be black and straight.

Allow him some space to come out on his own terms.

He has done no wrong to deserve a crucifixion.

I had no idea Anderson Cooper had such annoying and creepy fans. After reading all the statements, I have come to the conclusion that some of you people need to be locked up. I pity poor Anderson Cooper. If I were him, I would be afraid to leave the house.

It's a role model thing, if Anderson comes out to the world
then he is an example to young teens, that they can achieve
and the skys the limit.

U people need lives!
