He is the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, if you ever wondered how he happened upon that nice gig. As for being homosexual, I don’t think he’s ever come out of the closet, but if he’s not, my gaydar needs a complete overhaul.
I wouldn’t think it possible for any kid to come out of the Vanderbilt household straight.
“Globetrotting newsman Anderson Cooper will soon be able to cool his heels in an old Greenwich Village firehouse — complete with brass fire poles — that he’s turning into a new home, The Post has learned.”

“Known for dashing to disasters and wars around the world, Cooper’s new home will fittingly sport a bust of Mercury, the Roman god of speed, atop the firehouse’s main door.
How much time Cooper will spend in his new home is anyone’s guess. Beside covering world events, like the earthquake in Haiti, he’s know for vacationing around the globe, including a trip recently to the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, India, where he was spotted with close pal Benjamin Maisani, who owns an East Village bar.
The Post’s Page Six reported that Cooper’s room had a large round bathtub that was filled on the first night with bubbles and sprinkled with red rose petals — a luxury that firefighters probably never enjoyed.”
From the comments:
“i’m sure mr. cooper’s “hunky male friend” as page six put it a few weeks ago has his bags packed and ready to move in so he can be free to slide down anderson’s pole. the brass pole that is.
at least it isn’t being torn down.’
