Tim Gunn is a god among men. So is Anderson “Coop” Cooper, of CNN’s AC 360. So it makes perfect sense that Tim Gunn (Bravo’s “silver fox”) would announce he has a crush on CNN’s “silver fox” The Coop.
Tim Gunn declared The Coop “fabulous” at a recent event, and gives OK! magazine the scoop: the two silver foxes exchange e-mails! I would pay money to read those e-mails. I bet they are the bitchiest, most fabulous e-mails ever. I bet the subject headings are “Did you see what she was wearing?” and “Re: Madonna – Not Fabulous!”. Wait, I have more! Subject: “Seriously, did you see her hair?” and “Re: Lady Gaga’s thighs!” Or how about Subject: “Fug extensions” and “Re: Oh no she didn’t”. OK! has more:
Project Runway host Tim Gunn is daring to design a dream date on the not-so down low.
He’s after his celeb crush and fellow silver fox Anderson Cooper, although the newsman, who stays silent on his sexuality, has been elusive.
“We’ve actually been trying to have lunch for a year and a half,” Tim, 55, told OK! at the recent Address Psoriasis launch in NYC. “Both of us are so busy that we haven’t been successful doing it, but we exchange e-mails.”
What attracts Tim to the 41-year-old AC 360 anchor?
“His brain, looks and style,” says Tim. “He’s fabulous!”

Anderson Cooper’s sexuality has been the “down low” discussion for years. His alleged homosexuality is probably the worst-kept secret in the media today. The Advocate even claimed The Coop was living in a “glass closet”.
Could it be that The Coop’s coming out party involves Tim Gunn’s strategically leaked fabulous e-mails? Probably not, although I’m not sure why. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow now holds the mantle of being the first openly gay woman to hostess a prime-time cable news show. So why is Anderson still reticent to “come out”? Is it different for alleged gay men?
It would be so awesome and fabulous if they had lunch and someone photographed them being just wonderfully fabulous.
I used “fabulous” twice in one sentence talking about them. That is how fabulous they both are :).
I adore Tim Gunn and I love Anderson Cooper. If I could get them in the same room and chit chat with them, I would just die.
I definitely have a major crush on Anderson Cooper, but I’m running with the major assumption that he just doesn’t bat for my team, which is totally cool. I honestly cannot think of a more perfect match. I LOVE Tim Gunn he comes across equally as smart, cool, and just all around a decent person, much like Anderson. I’m sure that is all jumping to conclusions, but I would totally be pleased with this coupling if it were real.
I’d drop nearly anything to have lunch with either one. AC is smoking hot and Tim is well, the queen every girl needs in her life.
They seem all wrong for a love match. But to have video of them giggling together (you know they would) like schoolgirls. Having that would make all the grey days go away. I’m giddy just imagining
Something about Rachel Maddow mezmerizes me. I’m not so much political but I just adore her. I watch and laugh with her, even when I have no idea what she’s talking about.
Tim Gunn is so cool,he’s great! Those two would be a very interesting couple. I’m not sure it would work out because both of them are so busy but they would definitely be very good friends.
kaiser: remember a ton of folks don’t see gay unless they are hit over the head with it. Clay Aiken fan backlash?
Mom and Dad came to visit one weekend. Very team rainbow neighborhood. For some reason ‘out’ was out in force. Not subtle. So were walking down the street and mom’s asking about all the flags. I’m just cringing. Crude T-shirts. G-strings & Blades. Bulls in their finest flannel. There was a man in a tu-tu walking a tea-cup. Dad wants to know if everybody at Art School is so ‘flavorful’. The guys in front of us are something out of the village people. Sleeveless leather vest. Cops hat, micro mini jean shorts. At the cross walk they literally – literally start holding hands and skipping across the road.
BING! it finally registers with mom & dad. We took a window seat at lunch and played ‘how bout him/her’. They see it easier now when they come to visit but I think, they think, it’s contained in these little pockets. They don’t see it when they go home.
Point is, boy took a long time to get there eh, that Coop’s core audience wouldn’t even think about it. Not even if he giggled with Tim Gunn through an hour of AC360.
They’re just like a shiny pair of silver candlesticks 🙂
Hotness!
… or in honor of Tim, I guess it would be “hauteness”. 🙂
wow: well played
I just freakin love them both .
That’s all I can say .
Fabulous!
Make it work, Anderson!
For some reason, that makes me ecstatically happy.
Incredible. So perfect a match, yet I never thought of it. They’re totally good enough for each other.
And if Tim can’t lock down Anderson, there’s always a back-up silver fox: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=437
