Silver Fox Swap?

June 22, 2006

Is a gay-fave newsreader after Larry King’s job? With two high-profile celebrity interviews in a row, Anderson Cooper is rapidly moving in on King’s chat-with-celebs turf.

While Larry King is still hugely popular, his show has become a place that old-timers go to wallow in their infirmities (mental and physical). This week, Dan Rather extolled the drama of leaving CBS. And a few weeks ago, Elizabeth Taylor joined the chat host to tell people she did not have Alzheimer’s.

Meanwhile, Cooper scored the in-depth interview with Angelina Jolie. And tomorrow, he’ll be airing an interview with Cher about how she does not support the war in Iraq, but supports the troops.

Maybe because he’s a non-threatening host, both gals have opened up to Cooper in ways that have made headlines days before the interviews actually aired. Young Coop is becoming a master of buzz.

I don't know if he has been directly asked but I know he is living in an apartment in New York that he fairly recently purchased from a Gay friend of mine. He already lived in the building but had his eye on this apartment as it is the top floor.

I do not know if he is gay but he seems to be very gay friendly. Growing up a Vanderbilt I am sure he was exposed to gay culture early on.
He is a fascinating compasionate person. I would love to meet him.

we can only hope that he replaces Larry King.

The media in general is doing a terrible smear campaign against Anderson to discredit him and they are using his sexuality - not cool.
