Hot, Gay, and on Television
Ok. Listen to me, people: I don't care what you've heard or what you've been told. Anderson Cooper is not the hottest CNN anchor. That title goes to Thomas Roberts.
I'm not saying that Cooper is an uggo even if his face is a little bit pointy. I'm just saying that Thomas Roberts is way hotter.
Check it:
See?
They're both gay, although Anderson Cooper has declined to state his sexual orientation definitively much to the irritation of gay activists everywhere.
And can I tell you something that I hate about Anderson Cooper? I just hate how overwrought and emotional he seems on the news. In his much-lauded hurricane Katrina aftermath coverage the man nearly broke down into tears at every other sentence.
Maybe I'm showing what a heartless, little sociopath I can be. I understand that it was a traumatic scene, but he wasn't looking at dead bodies. He was looking at broken homes. Those aren't even close to the same in terms of lost values. A house versus a life or limb.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. Thomas Roberts is way steamier.
Update: I also just read that Playgirl ranked Cooper number three on their Sexiest Newscasters List in 2004 behind Sean Hannity and Keith Olbermann. Yes, Sean Hannity can be attractive (when he's not so heavy) but Keith Olbermann? This is why we can't take a publication like Playgirl seriously.

Posted by: Matt Chancellor at June 16, 2007 02:25 PMYou MUST be joking me.
Although, I can see some douchiness in Mr. Roberts' look, but he's still super hot. And WAAAAYYY hotter than Anderson Cooper.
Posted by: Flibbert at June 16, 2007 06:07 PMOh HELL NO! Anderson Cooper is incredibly gorgeous and has a unique look. Thomas Roberts has your standard bland anchor face. There's NO WAY he's hotter than Anderson!

This whole "emo-anchor" thing is blown way out of proportion if you've watched Anderson over the years; he generally keeps his feelings and opinions to himself, he's one of the LEAST emotional and opionated reporters out there, which is why his raw reaction to Landrieu had such an impact. "Overwrought and emotional" are strange terms to apply to him.
Posted by: Kerry at June 18, 2007 03:56 AMPLEASE let me know what news you're watching that has a man that looks like Thomas Roberts.
First, "bland" is simply false. There's a reason he's on national television and it's isn't because he's "bland."
Maybe you mean "common." Yes, Thomas Roberts has a look that is pretty common, but that doesn't make him any less hot. And having a unique look (like prematurely grey hair) does not make one more hot.
As for Cooper, I haven't watched him over the years. Every time I watch him, I get the distinct impression that he's making an appeal to my emotions rather than my reason. That irritates me.
I'm not saying Cooper is ugly. He is attractive in his own way.
But I stand by my judgment here: Thomas Roberts is hotter than Anderson Cooper.

Another reason Thomas is a lot hotter than Anderson is that he is out and proud. He sent a message to those who are struggle with their sexuality that it is nothing to be ashame of.
