He makes Liberace look like John Wayne in comparison.

“He’s not gay.”

He’s just a little extra happy.

I assume it’s his money. If so, he can spend (or more accurately, waste) it however he wants.

well, i don't really buy that. if someone makes a living in the public eye, then they open themselves up to a certain level of scrutiny, IMHO.

it's like the actors who scream that they want their privacy but then they want the spotlight and attention when they have a new movie out. sorry, you live by it, you die by it.

anderson really wants you to watch his show, but he only wants his celebrity to be on his terms. if you want a private life, then go live a private life.

An exceedingly rich homosexual who enjoys living in opulent hotels in India is the sort of "journalist" who claims that they understand what the average American thinks.

The same sort of "journalist" will be happy to tell you that Sarah Palin is a stupid redneck with extremist views and that no one should pay any attention to people like that.

Red Herring Anderson!

Being gay doesn’t harm your career...being a over the top liberal news reader/personality does!

Personally I don’t care if the boy sleeps with livestock, but $3200 a night ain’t no Motel Six. That’d keep me in beer and beef jerky for an entire week.

Read more: Anderson Cooper In Jaipur With Boyfriend Benjamin Maisani

By Madhuri Dey

Oct. 30, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Anderson Cooper has been spotted with his boyfriend Benjamin Maisani in India, apparently to spend a vacation. It is common knowledge that the CNN reporter is gay, but he had never before been public with his personal life. No wonder, then, that the photographs taken of the two has cooked up quite a storm among the paparazzi.

It has been assumed that Cooper and his boyfriend Maisani are staying at an expensive heritage hotel at Jaipur in Rajasthan, India. Photos of the two were taken while they were lounging at the Rambagh Palace Hotel, where the two are staying. An inside source reported to the New York Post that on the first night of their arrival, the two had hit upon the romantic idea of filling the bathtub in Anderson’s room with bubbles and sprinkling it with rose petals. It is reported that they have boarded the hotel at a whopping three thousand and two hundred dollars per night. The hotel was rated the most sophisticated hotel in the world by the Conde Nast Magazine and is also one of the most expensive ones.

Maisani is the owner of a bar called Eastern Bloc in East Village. This is the second time he has been spotted with Anderson. The last time they were seen together was in June. They were spotted biking together. According to Anderson, he prefers not to talk about his personal life as he feels that it might harm his career. He stresses that as a reporter, it is imperative for him to mingle with all sorts of people and that exposed details of his personal life might ruin his chances.

-------------------------------------------

Butt ,wait, there's more!

Benjamin Maisani owns the Eastern Bloc bar in New York City’s East Village, which is described by one reviewer on Yelp as “a true man meat bar” that is the “sexiest/hottest [gay] bar in Manhattan.” Gridskipper describes the bar as an “upscale gay bar with a welcoming, Soviet theme.”
