Do you wanna date Anderson Cooper? Pop.nography renders the relevant boyfriend facts from his interview in The March Men’s Journal. Depending on your perspective he’s either very low maintenance or highly Obsessive Compulsive:

a) He eats the same food at every meal for months on end.
b) He doesn’t celebrate his birthday, Thanksgiving or Christmas and claims not to understand New Year’s Eve, though he is contractually obligated to celebrate on-air.
c) He has no interest in attending any of his mother’s family reunions, no matter how rich and fabulous and crazy the Vanderbilts may be.

I’m going to vote for low maintenance. I still remember fondly Monsieur Cooper’s elegantly argued essay on going grey and letting the going be good.

Going gray is like ejaculation. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it’s a total shock …

My advice? Give in to gray. Make the most of it while you’re still young. Remember, there will come a time in the not too distant future when you’re no longer prematurely gray. People will stop using the word distinguished.

By then, you’ll have a wattle, baggy eyes and sagging skin, and pretty young things won’t even notice your hair. Only other guys will.

Bald guys.

Burn. To Bald Guys.

The whole ‘premature E-jack thing was a real shocker of an opening. Even that Vanderbilt prose is rich, fabulous and crazy.

In a parenthetical note the pop.nographers add

Actually, the funniest part of the article is where it says that “gawker.com, a New York media blog, occasionally suggests that Cooper is gay.” Occasionally? Suggests?

It’s always nice to see blogs get their nod in the dying print media, even Men’s Journal. Also its hilarious that Men’s Journal thinks they need to allege Gawker’s finally tuned sense of Andersonian sexuality. Manhattan informers are constantly sending in daytime spottings of the silver fox shopping at the Farmers Market with his boyfriend or nighttime reports of the gunmetal grey lothario dancing around Roxy with a bevy of shirtless muscle boys and an artfully placed baseball cap.
