-Rant-
I know that a celebrity’s life is never their own. Someone is always telling them what they need to wear, where they need to go, and what they need to do once they get there. Therefore, they are never safe from the media eye. Recently a photo of Anderson Cooper has made its way into the tabloids. It is a picture of Cooper walking down the street in close proximity with another gentleman. Websites like gawker.com are asking their readers to help them figure out who the mysterious man is. My question is, would it be so bad if Anderson Cooper were homosexual? Would his sexuality actually somehow discredit him as a journalist? He is one of the most respected reporters on television and I find it very difficult to believe his sexual preference could really change that. If people would just stop assuming things then maybe they would get the answers they are trying so hard to find.

AOL Salary Center has made a list of the salaries television characters would make (on average) if they held these positions in real life. There are a few numbers I would double check because I just don’t know if I believe some of them. The biggest one is Alison Dubois from the show Medium. If a stay at home mom can somehow make over $130 a year, sign me up! I like that they took the time to compile the list though. They chose a good variety of characters and I love that they included Homer Simpson. Some others I think they could have included: Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls), Jordan McDeere (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), Peter Griffin (Family Guy), Liz Lemon (30 Rock), John Stewart (The Daily Show). Okay, so that last one is a little different situation, but wouldn’t you like to know?
So, who would you guys add to the list?

It’s not that his sexuality would discredit him, it’s that certain people with certain ideaologies would no longer watch/listen to him, because some of that “gayness” might rub off on them, and perhaps make them tolerant of other ideas or something.
i heart anderson cooper no matter who he is having sexual relations with.
yeah..it wouldn’t discredit him, but homophobes the world over would stop listening…
but if i had any wish it would be that he was doin it with keith olbermann- now that would be the coolest gay couple ever.
and i would say i’d want to see the amassed monthly income from the survivors on LOST, but I already know what it would total…a big whopping ZERO.
People drive me crazy. Whomever Mr. Cooper wants to jump in the sack with is totally irrelevant to his work. Trust me, the homophobics of this country are either secretly gay or bi-curious and if they are around “gay people” or respect someone on TV that is “gay” then they think it’ll make them “more gay”. It really pisses me off. They pretend they have “morals” when all it really is – is fear of their inner desires.
