You know what sucks about being famous and ambiguously gay? Whenever you do something as innocuous as work out in your too-tight spandex shorts, flirt with the juice bar guy (or girl!) post-workout, or head to the locker room, sweat glistening from your pores, it turns out your prematurely gray chest hair—and tight abdominals—bring ALL the boys to the yard.
And, if you're Anderson Cooper, it's necessary to take one or two tiny (or maybe not so tiny!) precautions.
YOU can't be too careful, especially when you're high-profile anchorman Anderson Cooper. Cyber gossip Janet Charlton reports the white-haired CNN star regularly works out at the Equinox gym in the Time Warner Center, where he attracts a lot of attention from hard bodies of both genders. "So he takes precautions," Charlton reports. "Everyone knows camera phones are easy to smuggle anywhere, so sensible Anderson reportedly showers in his underwear. Boxer briefs, to be exact."
Which means for everyone who recognizes him, Anderson Cooper is just a paranoid, possibly closeted television anchor. And for everyone else, he's just "that weird guy who showers with his undies on."

Um, here in Gold's in downtown LA showering in undies is not unusual. And pulling strange under-towel contortions to switch from gym clothes to pants is near universal. That is, if you change at all, and don't just walk in and out already in gym clothes. I was seeing this in the Y in Boston too. It's like having your junk be seen in a men's locker room of all places is the scariest thing in the world for the average male these days.
Really is this even an issue? Don't people have better things to do with their time?
Odd though that he says he doesn't work out, so is it his toned ghost they are seeing at the gym? Is it someone who looks like Anderson? He gets spotted all the time in NY when he's not there or places he's never been.
Funny thing is watching all the gays get so pissed off at the insinuation that he could be straight. It's like they own him and how dare you accuse him of being straight. Of course, their comments got nasty and hateful because they are jealous.
Why oh why can't I run into Anderson and his undies at MY gym. Damn, I wish I lived in New York!
I think this put the gay rumors to rest. Which self respecting gay wouldn't use the chance to flaunt their jewels and cruise at a gym shower?
And seriously, a hype gay using boxers? PLEEEEZE!!!!
Nah, the "gay rumors" are alive and well and will NEVER end when it comes to AC. And I bet he looks damn good in his boxers.
Lyndsay,
I think it's pathetic to accuse other people of making up lies because they're jealous. If Anderson Cooper were straight, he'd have nothing to hide. So, when they asked if he were gay, why did he NOT DENY IT??? Because he is.
