1. Dude! That is such old news!

He is succeeding despite his heritage to make a name for himself. His dad, a Cooper, married Gloria, who did okay for herself. His brother commited suicide. Remember GV Jeans???

Suggested reading, "Little Gloria, Happy at Last"

3. Yeah I remember GV Jeans

I can't believe that everyone else knew this and I didn't!

[Placebo]

15. Is he REALLY openly gay?

Or are you just letting your thoughts flow? lol

[Dookus]

17. I read an article on PlanetOut

last year, or even before, that referred to him as "out and proud". That was when he was doing "The Mole".

18. Did Anyone See Keith Olberman Making Fun Of Him Today?

It was hillarious. He showed a clip of anderson cooper 360's show about him whining he was only voted #3 sexiest newscaster but 'unlike the winner' he didn't have a massive voter outreach program going because he was too busy 'being in danger' reporting in Iraq.

OMG Keith made him look soooooo sad and whiny and said basically 'boo hoo, if it means THAT much to you, you can have it!'
