Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

ANDERSON COOPER AS A YOUNG REPORTER

#andersoncooper #janecharlton

Anderson Cooper graduated from Yale in 1989 and he went to work for Channel One in Los Angeles as a low- level fact checker. When he failed to get promoted on-air, he made a fake press pass and used it to gain access to film his own news segments, which he ultimately sold to the network. He did what he had to do – and it worked. Plus, he was REALLY adorable!

    I’m sure it didn’t hurt to have family connections or be the heir to a fortune either. He is a corporate media personality from the 1% for the 1%. He will never be in the league of Greg Palast or any serious journalist.

    Gayer than Gay Gayerson in that photo. How could anyone think he wasn’t gayer than gay? They had to have blinders.

    That said, he was gorgeous, then. Now, forget it.

    Breaking: Most people couldn’t care less if someone is gay. Only people with gay issues dwell on others being gay! Hello!

  4. Bu

    Love me some Anderson!

    well he does a nice bottom

  6. sherry lynee

    Is he a top or a bottom? I’m guessing the latter.

  7. Dawn Davenport

    He is very cute. Very WEHO.

  8. Patrick

    That’s right, Will.
    He has opened up the wardrobe door for a lot of his colleagues.
    The times have changed Strom. It’s okay for you to ride the pride float and scream, “I’M GAY” to the world. Nobody cares. We all know anyways.

  9. Will

    Patrick, he waits until he is many many years into his career to come out. Nobody was out in 1990, but many were out in 2005, even in 2003 when he was given his own show. If he was out prior to that, would he have gotten that job on 360? Probs not.

    Steve Canyon or Captain America or whatever the hell you’re calling yourself today: GO AWAY. You’re a disgusting pig.

    Janet: You’re so right! “Adorable” doesn’t even begin to describe that face! Not to mention smart, funny, and enterprising. One remarkable guy!

  11. Steve Canyon

    Rock hudson was the first to go………..officially.

  12. Patrick

    Yeah right, Mitchell.
    Nobody starting out in showbiz was coming out in 1990. Remember AIDS?

  13. Mitchell

    If he had come out back then, he would never have been offered an anchor position on a major channel in prime time.

    and he knows it.

  14. Steve Canyon

    he didn’t use the famous american method yet: DOING FREE BLOWJ*BS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
