He always DID seem a little "high-strung"…

haha i never knew this guy was gay, thats so cool.

He is notorious leather freak in the worst circles of new york city. So is Anderson Cooper. I see Anderson Cooper trolling for sex almost every night at Barton Gym in Chelsea and he normally gets it…from behind.

That's a career ender.

What a terrible shock to his career (I imagine they are pretty intolerant); I know that meth is really tempting for sex; people become literally tireless and obsessed. hard to stop.
I seriously doubt that someone in a responsible possition could do just meth long and keep a job like Andersons, or Richard Quests. Some people can be responsible, but it's not easy.
I seems to me that there's nothing especially shameful about "leather "sex" unless you are really prudish and uninventive, as for "getting it from behind" , my experience is that a large proportion of guys like to be bottoms which is just fine.

Sounds like you need to get out of the house sometime, tony and leave the tigers alone.
The only concern to me about meth is safety, which some people lose track of on drugs.

Well, I have always suspected Richard was gay. I don't care. I had no idea he would mess with meth! I do care about that. But not in a punitive way. I just hope he gets help and "straightened out" if you'll pardon the pun.

I support him and hope he keeps his job and gets back on track. He is one of CNN's best assets on camera.

i dont believe these people are being seen in gay clubs, if it was the case ppl would take pics and videos and it would be all over the net.

I had no idea Quest was gay.

Anderson Cooper is so careful about his private life and image, it's hard to imagine him trolling gyms and having sex recklessly.

So sad that this woould be the end of his career. It just shows again how narrowminded and behind some people are.

Famous people can't go to gay clubs: that is so pathetic! Come over to The Netherlands and indulge yourself in tolerance and normal life!

This is just sad for Quest. As for "Tony"'s posting about Anderson Cooper at the gym, I see Anderson at DB gym many afternoons during the week, and he is nothing if not private and very appropriate. He never "trolls" or "cruises" anyone. He mainly talks to his trainer, but is always just polite when another gym member speaks to him. Also, he works at night on live TV, so you must be mistaking him for someone else, Tony.

Both Quest and Cooper fill out a t-shirt nicely and would make a terrific couple, except that Coop likes 'em brown. And I don't know how Quest likes 'em.

Know what? If being out wasn't such a career-ender, hi-profile gay men could meet in- shall we say- "nicer" ways. I am NOT saying meeting in nicer ways and real dating and the possibility of settling down is for all or even most gay men. But wouldn't it be way cool, as the kids say, if there was that option?

This arrest is a huge wake up call for Richard Quest. Getting high on meth and having anonymous sex with multiple partners in the Central Park ramble for hours after curfew is more than dangerous, it is wreckless self-destructive behavior.

Anderson cruises relentlessly but he never seems to have the nerve to close the deal.

i still dont believe all this anderson cruising business. if he did it would be documented, people would take pictures and videos. dont you think people would love to display that on the net and to the media? anderson cooper may be gay but i doubt he engages in behavior that could put his career at risk like that.

Anderson is in a LTR, he is a wonderful person, handsome and hardworking, brilliant and well brought up. Anyone saying otherwise does not know him, or is a jealous detractor.

All this talk about Anderson "crusing" for sex is really rude and inappopriate. No need to slander an innocent guy who isn't involved in this story at all.

"he volunteered to police, while being escorted off the property, that he was carrying meth."

Ben this was no wake up call, this was a cry for help. Personally I had neither heard of or seen Mr. Quest (Dick Quest - no how appropriate) prior to this item. I wish him the best in rehab and beyond.

Also Ben, if AC is in a LTR how come no one, anywhere, has captured evidence of same. It's not like he lives his life in a down low closet. Personally I hope he is. After some of the horrors of his child/young adulthood he deserves to have some ongoing happiness.

It didn't make sense that someone like AC, who you never hear a hint of scandal about, would be fooling around in gyms.

CNN is a CIA cum MOSSAD operation I have been told.

So if there agents Quest and Anderson are any good (and Jewish to boot) nothing will happen to them.

Let's just watch and see!

There is nothing cool about taking drugs and there is nothing good about cruising filthy public bathrooms for anonymous sex with black men and Puerto ricans, and running the risk of contracting HIV or being arrested for improper conduct. I don't care how gay Andreson Cooper is or how sick and perverted Richard Quest is in his nocturnal porwlings for sex and rugs through the streets and parks of NYC, this is wrong! CNN should fire Quest and clean house. Stop insulting viwwers' intelligence with your contemptuous disregard for the people who watch your cable news network!

RICHARD QUEST AND ANDERSON COOPER ARE BOTH GAY DRUG ADDICTED FAGGOTS AND THEY SHOULD BE FIRED FROM CNN, SO STICK THAT IN YOUR NOSE AND ANAL PASSAGES AND INHALE DEEPLY!

Illegal drugs + sex & promiscuity = death

if AC is in a LTR how come no one, anywhere, has captured evidence of same.

Maybe Ben will have an answer to this, but from what I can tell, AC is extremely discreet in his personal life, when there are sightings of him around New York City, he's generally alone. It's possible for some famous people to keep the public from knowing anything about who they're involved with and AC has always been successful at that. Plus, the paparazzi are more interested in getting photos of Brangelina and George Clooney to concern themselves with news anchors and their significant others.

reports about this story in http://www.corriere.it, in italy are quite different. it is reported tah he was doing sex with another man with a chain on the penis and arund the neck and with a dildo… it's not ajoke or what? if you dont believe me :oS

http://www.corriere.it/cronach.....6ba6.shtml

Well People! He has a drug problem, so do a lot of people. Anyway having a rope tied to his… parts, is a little out there lol And a hidden weapon, I mean sex toy in his boot, just in case… lol

There are photos of Anderson with his partner at public events if you look for them.

Unless Anderson's holding his partner's hand in the photos, which is unlikely, only the people who know him personally would know who he was and his connection to Anderson.

Ok, first of all, "Tony the tiger" sounds like a real idiot.

As for Richard being arrested for possessing meth, well it just shows us all how that drug permeates the very fabric of our society, with no boudaries or limitations in regard to socio-economic status. It's a very addictive substance and any individual who finds themselves addicted to it eventually comes to a turning point. I hope that Mr. Quest doesn't get tossed aside by his employer and also that he can endure the shameless and just plain rude individuals like "Tony." When it comes down to it, it's the drug that is bad, not the person.

"Anonymous sex with black men and Puerto Ricans" … I am SO there!

"Know what? If being out wasn’t such a career-ender, hi-profile gay men could meet in- shall we say- “nicer” ways."

Like, say, in their homes for a start? Or is that just too vanilla to be withstood? Pooooor, Quest, homeless news person reduced to sex outdoors. Oh the victimization!

I like Guest since he was working at BBC . I hope he get rid of this bad things and he has explanation about this for us. I do not think his career is end . CNN know that he is quality man and this days not more

Sorry Ismeto but getting into some rough stuff on crank in the park after dark pretty much goes to judgment.

Look for his image to appear on toast by noon monday.

One day I'll join the 20th century and get cable, but hopefully if this Richard Quest is as talented as is said, he'll keep his job. We had a notorious drunk in a major metropolitan news network where I live but he was quite the newsman. So he kept his job. But he straight and was on at a time when there were far fewer news outlets and he had quite a following. Bottom line, I don't know what will happen With RQ but for his own sake, I hope he gets it together. And without any proof, I'm getting a bit tired of all this Anderson Cooper bashing as well. Ben, stop beating around the bush and post a link to the photos if there really are any.!!!

Yes- Anderson Cooper is a well known bottom. So what? What's your point? Bottoming doesn't make him any less of a man.

Yeah, where exactly are those photos of AC and his latest bf? Someone's always saying they've seen them but they never provide a link or proof.

Do you think it would be possible to get Richard Quest to do a TV interview about this where he'd be completely frank, no strings attached?

Few facts:

1) Richard Quest shouldn't have moved to the US. In most of Europe, nobody would give a damn about his wearing ball-ropes (or whatever that weird stuff's called). I lived 50% of my life in the US, 50% in the EU moving back and forth from one continent to the other regularly. Being mildly openly gay, I can vouch it's much easier to be yourself in the EU.

2) I am getting FED UP with this meth BS. I've stopped having sex with guys on meth (or drugs, or even on Red Bull) a few years ago. They usually make lousy lovers. You pick them up at night when they're high and you get pretty good sex. But dare you not ask for a quickie in the middle of the day. Those guys can't get it hard, and when they do, they come in no time. Lousy. I like going around with a guy who will indulge in random unprepared sex (e.g. the shower, after dinner, in the car).
I only go for *chemically natural* guys now. And here in Zuerich, it's becoming harder to find such guys in my age group (late 20s).

3) I'd like to know if Quest's got a big one. Presumably, if he uses cockrings, he's got a little one… Oh well.

4) As far as AC goes now. The guy is gay, we all know that. He's been spotted around NYC in company of notoriously gay men (although I suppose none of that "sex cruising in the gyms" is true). I'm only talking about walking around town with gay friends. I *know* for a sure fact that he was spotted in Paris at the famous gay oriented club Queen. He was in company amongst others of Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters. Apparently, they weren't hiding and only a few people recognized them. Then again, neither of them is particularly well-known in France (esp. Cooper). An American friend of mine was in the club that night and he spotted them. They were just sitting around, talking with friends. My friend approached them and asked if he could take a cellphone pic with them. They were nice about it and agreed. I saw the picture. It could have been taken in any club, though, so it doesn't prove anything about AC other than he hangs out in clubs with friends. Nothing out of ordinary.

5) CNN's usually so keen on reporting sex scandals… wonder if they'll cover the Richard Quest's quest for dick.

@Yann. How long ago was this sighting in Paris?

Always found this guy very entertaining! Who cares what he does in his spare time!

Lay off Anderson Cooper! Richard Quest's hanky panky in the park is about Richard Quest- not Anderson Cooper.

Just because they are both gay does not mean Anderson is also a tweaking, desperate for dick little perv like Quest!

Typical British behaviour, La Quest, no?

"Typical British behaviour, La Quest, no?"

I don't know. Why don't we ask Senator Larry Craig?

I do feel sorry for Quest. But I won't miss his irritating working-class northern English accent on CNN, with all his OTT verbal mannerisms. (Yes, I know he has a law degree.) As for Cooper, what's he working for anyway? Isn't he a serious trust-fund boy? Mother's Gloria Vanderbilt, for God's sake. His older brother committed suicide in front of them both, I believe. I certainly don't believe either presenter goes cruising openly.

As for Cooper, what’s he working for anyway? Isn’t he a serious trust-fund boy?

I admire him for this. He doesn't HAVE to work, but he does. He could be sailing on a yacht somewhere, but instead he sometimes dodges bullets in Iraq and battles politicians and hurricanes.

who cares if he's gay?! he's a fabulous asset to cnn, and one of the few reasons i watch! he's so quirky, if anything, cnn should embrace this.

Come on! Get a life all of you. Leave Mr. Quest and Cooper alone. You all enjoy them on CNN so why try to ruin them??

T. Slough

quest is back. can't tell so far if he is meth-free, but he is definitely still gay. only now he isn't that shrill "expert" on business travel but a straight business expert. no shit, the guy gets popped for meth possession and he ends up with a fucking promotion. anyway, due to its typical anti-drug and anti-homo bias, cnn has made no mention of the issue and has not produced a human interest documentary to try to capitalize on it. frankly, i could barely take his screeching reviews of hotels fit only for straight businessmen and otherwise lame travel recommendations, but the guy is impossible to take as a business expert. sorry
