Anderson Cooper speaks!

Anderson Cooper was a welcome sight at the Elton John AIDS fundraiser a few days ago. The CNN anchor, very tight-lipped about his personal life to the enormous frustration of some, was asked by New York's Daily Intelligencer if he had been working out lately because "your biceps are really big lately."
Anderson: "Wow. What is my workout routine -- I've never been asked that question! Um, I don’t know, I've just been … working with a trainer and uh, I don't know, lifting a little weight, and running a little. I don't know....Uh, you know, I just turned 40, so yes, I'm trying to be a little bit healthier now and trying to eat a little bit more sensibly. And also, with traveling so much, you know, it's tough when you're in Iraq to do anything, so I try to work out when I'm here.This is really … I sound ridiculous."

On a more serious note, he told the New York Daily News: "I talk to young gay friends in New York, and some of them seem to think the AIDS problem is a thing of the past. … The reality is that it's getting worse, not better."
