While some found my blogging about this subject distasteful given the gravity of the situation in Haiti, I see even The Times Styles section noticed Anderson Cooper's physique-flaunting T-shirts.
Guy Trebay writes: "Cooper has rarely missed an opportunity to showcase his buff physique (as anyone would know if he or she remembers his stripping to a bathing suit to quiz Michael Phelps)." Coop's Baby Gap T's have led to what Trebay calls "the Anderson Cooper effect" whereby "a newly sleek Dr. Sanjay Gupta moved through Port-au-Prince wearing a snug gray T-shirt, his hair styled in the obligatory CNN crop" while "his colleague Jason Carroll, reporting on Wednesday’s aftershock and looking like a guy who had done 20 quick pushups before going on air, wore a T-shirt so snugly revealing it called into question whether a disaster zone is the place to flaunt one’s gym physique."
The situation in Haiti is beyond heartbreaking, but I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who agrees that you can't dwell on tragedy every minute of the day. When something this horrible happens, you have to find a little light in there somewhere. (Hey, even in Auschwitz people fell in love.) Leave it to the translucent Andy Cooper to provide that light.

I think he is completely inappropriate given he is apparently a professional journalist.
Collared shirt please.
I am not a fan of this.
I think the t-shirts are quite appropriate (and easy on the eyes)...the highs are hovering around 90 during the day!
I know... I actually felt guilty watching him do the news in Haiti. I kept staring at his torso and arms, and not paying attention to what he was saying. Jewish guilt is not a good thing.
Coop sorta tries to be sublte about it putting his cute self out there, but he does make a horrible subject kinda easier to watch.
How come nothing on the John Lea murder, Ken? Not too far from where u live, eh?
Fools obviously don't realize that EVERYONE broadcasting from Haiti is in casual clothes. Furthermore, it is
hot as hell there, not to mention that it is HELL there, anyway!!
Anderson's doing a great job. Leave him alone. That is, after you ask him what his husband is wearing!!

Am I the only one who NOW realizes that Anderson has a nice physique? When I think of him I think of a skinny, pale dude who has nice eyes and my sister wore his mom's jeans in the 70's. Did he recently get buff? Because now when I see him, hotness. ;) peace
Actually, going along in this vein, am I the only one who watched the Columbine massacre aftermath on the news thinking,
"There are some hot young men running around with their shirts off."
So I'm shallow. Sue me.
LOL, there were? I missed that. IN the same vein, I'm watching NatGeo Inside the Green Berets and there is a Beret who is fine as hell! Like literally he could model, buff, gorgeous and his job is to explode IDE's. He's putting his life on the line and I'm like, now he's hot! woof! ;) peace
I was wondering if I was the only one, in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, drooling over the sights of Anderson Cooper, Rob Marciano, Chris Lawrence and Dan Simon (woof) in tight, wet t-shirts. *blush*
