Slog - Comments on Anderson Cooper's Glass Closet Workout http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/anderson_coopers_glass_closet_workout I love living at a time in history where a public figure can be v. v. gay, not address it in any direct way, but let everyone join in on the joke. He has a good sense of humor about this Physique 57 workout, but it is sort of unnerving that he won't commit to "the lasso" or "the power plié" or "the tricep can-can." Whatever, Coops; I see you tugging on your t-shirt; I see you holding your arms in a triangle shape to broaden your upper body. STOP STR8 ACTIN' and thrust, gurl.

It's one thing to stay in the closet when you're in college and relying on mom and dad to pay your health and car insurance, but when you're a fortysomething making millions? That's just pathetic.


I came out in college at age 18 in Arkansas for fuck's sake. Man, find your cojones.


The sad fact he's in the closet is such bollocks that for once I wouldn't hit it.

Ha ha OMG, you're so right. During those pelvic thrusts, I can totes picture Kelly looking over and saying "now Anderson, just pretend you're taking your boyfriend's smokin' kielbasa" then suddenly looking away with a 'whoops, did I just say that out loud?' expression while we hear the record scratch and the music stops.
