Why is He famous

When disaster strikes,and we peer into our televisions for the latest breaking news, it’s usually Anderson Cooper’s steely blue eyes peering back. Since joining CNN in 2001, Cooper has risen within the network’s ranks to anchor the acclaimed Anderson 360, while becoming the preeminent voice of reason throughout the decade’s most notable tragedies. From Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti to the BP oil spill and the revolution in Egypt (where he was physically assaulted while on duty), Cooper’s unflinching pursuit of the facts and his relentless dedication to quality journalism have helped make a boundless world just a little bit smaller. His new syndicated daytime talk show, Anderson, premiered in September, which raises the question: Is Anderson the new Oprah?

Anderson Cooper Quote

"I think the notion of traditional anchor is fading away -- the all-knowing, all-seeing person who speaks from on high. I don't think the audience really buys that anymore. As a viewer, I know I don't buy it. I think you have to be yourself, and you have to be real, and you have to admit what you don't know and talk about what you do know, and talk about what you don't know as long as you say you don't know it. I tend to relate more to people on television who are just themselves, for good or for bad, than I do to someone who I believe is putting on some sort of persona. The anchorman on The Simpsons is a reasonable facsimile of some anchors who have that problem."

Magnetism

Male news anchors aren’t traditionally known for their model looks, especially not on CNN (Wolf Blitzer, Larry King and Aaron Brown, anyone?). But Anderson Cooper has single-handedly broken the mold. Thanks to his piercing blue eyes, silver hair and chiseled facial features, the former model (Cooper modeled for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein when he was younger) is consistently voted one of the sexiest newscasters on television and was even named one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive in 2005. But don’t get too excited, ladies; it’s widely believed that the notoriously private Cooper is gay, despite his refusal to discuss his sexuality in public.
