Those folks that get to see Anderson Cooper in the shower are VERY fortunate!

What is wrong with that Janet? I always shower with shorts on at the gym.

I don't blame him.

Smart guy!

I'd bang him all night long. In his underwear, out of his underwear.

Call me, Anderson!

This is kind of revolting, actually. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Anderson, but I wish I'd never seen this.

If I were him I would go home and shower.

Not a surprise. I used to see him at Chelsea Piers working out in jeans and t-shirt. It was very odd.
Why he doesn't go to the gym early and then go home to shower is beyond me.

The mere fact that you ran this "story" shows that he is smart.

I hate spoiled privileged kids who become famous because of their family connections. Less reporting on him please, he's boring.

How about the fact he hires male escorts from www.rentboys.com

He prefers them latino or Brazilian

It's WWW.RENTBOY.COM

"I hate spoiled privileged kids who become famous because of their family connections. Less reporting on him please, he's boring"

This commenter knows nothing about Anderson Cooper. Do some research on how he got where he is before saying things like this.

WOW SOUNDS NEAT"

What happens to he wet underwear?

Who works out in jeans? What kind of working out was he doing? Weights?

And how do you know he hires male escorts from rentboys? Were you one of them?

Who Cares? This is information I don't need to know!

DON'T CARE IF HE'S GAY
DON'T CARE IF HE'S STRAIGHT
ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE NICE...
HE IS SMART AND SEXY...YUM..YUM

Smart guy for preventing someone from taking the candid photo.

His celebrity "status" is going to ruin what is left of his journalistic credibility.

I want Anderson to do me right now. This instance. He's hot and i'll pay alot just to see him with just his underpants.

Marcus Schenkenberg used to do the same thing at the Equinox downtown. Kind of stupid since he already appeared nude in a bunch of Versace catalogs.

SURE...BUT WHY GIVE IT AWAY...

BETTER TO GET PAID....

I can't understand anyone that feels so uncomfortable with their own nudity. I wonder if he also wears them at home in the shower. Men have certain parts. Women have certain parts. Who cares? Get over it.

Gemini Gemini come out of the closet already. You are already successful & you had millions from your family- the truth will set you free.

Can someone please post the link again, I cannot see it! Anderson is my manderson! Ha ha.

He's just smart, if you ask me. Who needs naked pictures of themself on the Internet? Everyone needs privacy.

"sexually ambiguous"? Anderson Cooper is gay and who cares.

He's not gay, he's had sexual contact with 4 females that I know of. He has his time with them, then CNN and Jon Klein "take care of it". They send out ignorant emails and term these people "stalkers" when Anderson is done with them, usually around the time that they want to see him again, even if that is for other reasons. He's only pretending to be gay for his 80% faggot fans because without them he'd be done.

How do I know this? I am one of those 4 females and I have the email trail to prove it. I used to get emails from him saying "i totally thought of you", flirty huh? He has more in common with Olbermann that anyone will ever know.

It's no wonder there are so many people on the internet who hate him, with being treated like this, it's no wonder. Jon Klein can't take the competition. He loves Anderson Cooper more than any woman ever could.

Look at the book signings in May, they are all going to be controlled by Jon Klein within TW centres, so that Anderson can never again see any of the women he has had feelings for in the past. The one in Florida will be cancelled.

Anderson Cooper does NOT life his life the way he wants to and hopefully someday he can meet his son.

The poster at 2:28 needs to have her meds adjusted.

Anon at 2:28 has been posting the same crap all over the internet. Makes you wonder why she made her blog 'invitation only', doesn't it?

I hope CNN is keeping tabs on the crazier of the fans. They're dangerous.

2:28, jump off the bridge already.

So anyone who doesn't think he's a faggot is nuts huh? But anyone who posts on the Datalounge is normal when they post about him being bent over a couch and using men as kleenex? Or the "fact" that they know he likes Blatinos when they have never met him.

3:34 why don't you go back to the you fan group already!

Prove that he's a gay or prove that what they say is wrong then.

You know the best thing is, they are told the truth and they don't believe it or call them nuts, then desperately WANT to believe that he showers in his underwear or that those sitings on Gawker are real.

Those are the nuts.

Go ahead and email him and ask him if he's kissed a girl or a boy. See what response you get.

Sounds to me like some people are afraid it might be true that he's no gay.

Oh heaven who will wave their flag for them now?

Clutch those pearls Mary!

Bwah! it's the 'ask him who he kissed' spammer! Hi, hon...

Bottom line is that Miss Janet is slippinnnnng! I heard this story about him showering in his undies a year ago! Straight or gay, he's FAMOUS and probably not in the mood to see his nether regions photographed and show up all over the place.

'...probably not in the mood to see his nether regions photographed and show up all over the place.'

UNlike some female celebs he has been compared to. Good for him.

You guys have been punked and you all got all worked up over nothing!

After reading some of these comments isn't easy to see why he's afraid be exposed in any way. Too many of his freaky fans need to get back on meds and shut up. It's embarrassing and sick! Don't you freaks have any shame?

I slept with him. And I have a penis.

Why would Anderson Cooper need to hire rent boys? The men must be falling all over themselves to be with him. He seems a little too classy for that type of thing.

There's NO WAY this person who's saying Anderson is straight is telling the truth. The man is GAY, everyone knows it.

Well, maybe he's straight in her universe, anon8:19 - she's clearly not from earth.

keep the comments on the subject or else your comments will not be posted thank you.

Well, Janet, if camera phones are so easy to smuggle anywhere, then where is the picture of Anderson showering in his underwear? And, oh yeah, thanks a lot for posting all this crap in the above 45 comments!!!

You guys are all crazy! Such nasty comments, what did he ever do to you?Leave the man alone!!!

i guess he is a modest man'

As a gay man from a very affluent Boston family, all I have to say is leave the guy alone... Who cares about who or what he sleeps with.

Printing a story like this doesn't help Anderson.. it will only hurt him. Now some idiots around the country will make it a challenge to grap a shot of his stuff. Maybe he'll attend a Lakers game and some guy standing at the urinal next to him will snap a shot.

Now he's really got problems.

Faggots make me sick and I would not want one of those animals looking at me either! New York has serious issues!

Losers who use the word "faggot" anonymously because they are too cowardly and pansified make me sick. I wonder if their mothers know what kind of trash they shat out of their infected vaginas?

Anyway, I wonder if Anderson keeps his shorts on when cruising the tearooms for some anonymous man-on-man sex?

I don't get it...he's NOT EVEN cute. He looks like a chicken. And showering with his underwear?? That's riduculous. If he's THAT worried about his tiny penis being seen (I mean why else) then spend a few of mommie's bucks and get a home gym.

I'd LOVE to just watch him get wet!!

im hot for coops.

totally. ;)

poor guy his reputation is ruined gone is his privacy and modesty.

Wow, this is really pathetic. Not even sure how I stumbled onto this link, but we all need to concern ourselves with bigger issues. If I was AC, I'd be scared of this lunatic fringe fan base, gay or straight. Why does he insight such nastiness on both sides, when all he does is keep to himself, work hard and try to live a decent life. For those still harping that he's a "rich kid" and "spending mommy's money"....get a life, he's been working his ass of for years. You can't control where you came from. He made a decision to DO SOMETHING with his life, why don't people see that? He could've very easily chosen a different path and he's one of the few privledged who didn't take the easy way out. Besides, with his schedule, when does he even hardly find time to date and WHO CARES who he's sleeping with, it's none of our damn business.

i think it'd be hysterical if all of a sudden a picture of the coopster showering in his boxerbriefs showed up!

I've got an "interesting" photo of Anderson with two my friends

Check out BeOneCity.com

Look-up "Johnny" when you get there

People who say "Leave him alone" are homophobic and prefer their gays flamboyant.

Since Anderson's willingly made himself a public figure, he should be honest and out.

I agree...02:28 is delusional! Double the dose sweetie and take 1 more to be sure! I think AC is hotter than Hell...me and my b'friend wanna do him together every nite we watch him!! And he's gay..get another life gurl!SFO hottie!

Janet, now you've got a handle on some of the sweeter Anderson 'fans', both male and female, might I suggest not bothering to post Anderson info. in future?

Seems none of them can behave.

Although I was mildly amused by the 'cruising for sex in the tea-rooms' comment.

NB: None of them apart from me, Eric, Kiran and a few others,that is.

"Faggots make me sick and I would not want one of those animals looking at me either! New York has serious issues!"

Oh dear, seems you have 'serious issues' yourself, and I'm not gay either but this kind of talk is just babyish and pathetic.

But better grab that bible quick sticks and hang on for dear life. Because if you actually knew WHO was gay on a national scale your head would explode.

Why doesn't he belong to a gym where in which they offer private shower stalls ?

I mean, no doubt about it these celebrities would pay for the extra security and privacy.

02.06pm...U go gurl! Remember that internalised homohobia is a sure sign of homosexual dystonia (DSM4)..the ONLY type of "gay sickness" and this guy's definitely got it..like Ted Haggard and anyone else who thinks gay-bashing is cool!He shd see a shrink and think about coming out himself! BTW..AC has been a real breath of fresh air on CNN..I love his show and the incredible stuff he brings into the open every day!

I'm not saying he's 100% gay, but he did leave with my friend after we both met him at SPLASH Bar in NYC in 1995 (a well-known gay bar). My gay male friend went home with him and let's just say they didn't sleep much. ;)

who cares if he's gay or not? He IS gorgeous, smart, self-effacing and funny. I luvs him.

"Besides, with his schedule, when does he even hardly find time to date...?"

Why do you think he was tagging along with Jeff Corwin for some "nature" shows? It's called "hiding in plain sight".

Remember when the elephant nearly crushed Corwin's arm? AC looked like he was gonna have a heart attack afterwards!

For the record:
Anderson's "mommy" hasn't had real money in years. She lost most of her money in the 90's because she trusted the wrong advisors who took almost all her money. Anderson makes his own money and has way more than 'mommy' ever did. He did it all on his own with no help from family. People who suggest otherwise obviously don't bother to read the facts.

I would too if I was him!

Sorry, 4/24 3:25. I just got routed here. I'm not 4/24 2:28. The other stuff you said, also not me. Tell the coven to back off. I'm private because of people like you not understanding my business.

"Maybe he'll attend a Lakers game".

That would never happen. AC hates sports!

And I agree with the posters who know Anderson's history and how he got where he is today; he worked very hard for it, a quick look at his bio will tell you that. He's great and incredibly gorgeous.

Can someone tell me if the man is gay. Not that it matters but come on,

he's a bisexual but i heard he prefers guys.

I don't care who you are or what you are trying to hide...that is just trashy...

the only reasons i can think of taking a shower in your underwear would be beneficial is two fold, one is that you are hiding something in there that if it got out it would most likely attack the nearest hole. and two it is so big and blood engorged from the proximity to other hot men that he is all embarassed over his erection. face it girls he's gay......ok three fold he might have a botched circumcision job and it's all contorted like a corkskrew!

Showering in your undies is so stupid and stupid looking, it draws twice the attention. Does he think he has something other guys don't have?....got news for him he don't, I think if I was that scared someone wold see me that i would avoid a situation like that and just shower at home, but he may wear them there too, never know someone might put in a spy cam, or maybe we could just get some one to pants him and take a picture.

Well it turns out it's not true according to the website towleroad.com:

"In the interest of correcting this claim, a source close to Towleroad who is also a member at the Time Warner Center Equinox gym and has seen Mr. Cooper in action reports that he does not shower in his underwear, but that he is one of those "towel wrap, slip the undies down underneath" kind of guys."

Showering in your underwear is STUPID! What does he have that I or anyone else WANTS to see. Is he so arrogant that he thinks everyone is looking at him. Wake up...
Modesty is the femenization of today's America. We are returning to a Victorian era. Give it 25 years and the men will be wearing Burkas, not the women, just look at the entertainment industry.

I don't care what his sexual preference is, but any man who can't take a naked shower in a men's locker room has a definite problem. What is happening to the men in this country? I have never heard of men who are so modest as we have today.

Anderson is openly gay to everyone who knows him, even casually. He is only closeted, if you can call it that, in that he has actually stated "I'm gay" in the media - he has never talked about his love life at all. But he's never denied being gay and he dedicated his book to his former male partner, so he is not really closeted. I know him because he dated my brother, and he's a nice guy. The "he's not gay how dare you say that" fans are really offensive.

>>>What does he have that I or anyone else WANTS to see.

Um, I don't know about you, but I WANT to see whatever he's hiding, believe me. That man is HOT!

"The "he's not gay how dare you say that" fans are really offensive."

That's just pure homophobia when his so-called "fans" say this.

And I'm VERY envious of your brother.

He better shower with his underwear on. I'd shuck/phuck the h3ll out of him.

Showering in your underwear is about as sensible as bringing a sandwich to as banquet.

Who the hell is Anderson Cooper?

A Vanderbilt (Gloria is his mom) really has no other choice but to use a public gym? Oh, that must be to show us all how "folksy" and "of the people" he is... and eventually someone will realize that a photo of someone in *wet underwear* is probably worth more than a full frontal nude.

This is ridiculous. If anybody had proof that he was gay or straight it would be out there. Who cares really. I applaud him for his sense of decency. He's cuter than heck and whoever lands him is lucky.

This bullshit is fun to read.
