Anderson Cooper and Hot Guy Alert

​
My spies tell me that the other night, an incredibly glittery posse came in to the Bourgeois Pig restaurant on East 7th Street for some steaming cheese fondue.

The group consisted of:

Madonna and Jesus Luz

Jessica Seinfeld

And Anderson Cooper and a cute guy who was recognized as a bartender from the East Village gay bar Eastern Bloc. Anderson and the guy both came on bicycles.

Discuss.

Did Anderson dump what's his name? I didn't get the memo.

Madonna's still with Luz, but Anderson can't keep a boyfriend?

70s Style Party Favorite Is Making a Fashionable Comeback and it is no longer like 'melting Velveeta'.

The humble origins of Fondue began in the Swiss Alps, but today Fondue can be found in kitchens around the world and in upscale restaurants as well.

I hope Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin do New Years again on CNN this year. I swore I was watching Bravo until I spotted that CNN logo in the corner.

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond says:

We ladies know for a fact that Serendipity 3 is where Anderson Cooper had several childhood birthday gatherings thanks to his mom Gloria Vanderbilt. We wonder what she would think about the garbage surrounding Eastern Bloc and with whom her son is seen around town with.

Not exactly what we ladies would call high society (hell even low society).

Toodles,

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond

Which EC bartender--the friendly, tall blond one; the dumb-as-dirt short, dark one; or the obnoxious Frenchie?

If you licked his bike seat, it would taste like Gloria Vanderbilt salad dressing.

But what on earth is Eastern Bloc? Something like Barracuda but worse?

Posted On: Monday, Sep. 28 2009 @ 4:10PM
Matt says:

Anderson's been dating Ben Maisani, the co-owner of Eastern Bloc for several months. Yeah, he's the French dude. The two of them are seen biking nearly every weekend. There was a picture of them biking that was posted on a few sights a couple of months ago.

What happened to the Hispanic dude he was dating? The one he was seen at airports with? (Though they entered the plane separately.)

barfalletta says:

discuss -- why does CNN still keep Anderson in the closet? Is it because they are afraid he will lust after the hot Larry King or Wolf Bitzer?

margarita rita says:

only Musto, bless her, would consider Jessica Seinfeld to be a hot celebrity -- was she blowing Larry David under the fondue restaurant table or plagiarizing another kiddie cookbook?

Posted On: Monday, Sep. 28 2009 @ 4:39PM
Nick says:

AC used to date Cesar Recio who is Dominican, but he must've left him soon after he took one look at Ben's huge guns.

Oooooooooo, Margarita Rita, you got some cojones on you, girl!!

Beware the wrath of the Jerry Man.

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond says:

We ladies think all you regular commenters shouldn't jump to conclusions. What if Andy just hired this Eastern Bloc character for the evening (as "buddies") and it was nothing more than a business arrangement?

Back off all you insensitive bitches.

We do think "Vanderbilt Salad Dressing" does have a nice fragrant ring to it. Something sold on the shelf at Trader Joe's though, not on the menu at Jean Georges.

Ta ta,

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond

Corso says:

Way back in December, there was an item about AC going cashmere sweater shopping with a "young Frenchman". There was also blind item that had him recklessly squiring an "infamous bartender" around NYC. I think it's safe to say that the French guy is more than a business arrangement to Anderson. He's never seen with any other guy these days.

Posted On: Monday, Sep. 28 2009 @ 7:11PM
Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond says:

Dear Corso:

OK. So maybe this Eastern Bloc Frenchman is more than a business relationship.

So Andy and Madonna both enjoy foreign cock and most likely neither of these "model" and "bar" boys have a Green Card....just yet....money and fame can secure that.

Also, we ladies bet their health care insurance is taken care of and provided for already.

ONLY IN NEW YORK KIDS!

Toodles,

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond

Cookie cutter says:

Is it me, or is Mr. Cooper awfully white?

Does he have that Michael Jackson disease? ( I know, u're asking, "Which one?")

The one that sounds like a pasta dish - vitiligo.

Back in the 90's when he was on that sit-com, Mr. was a lovely shade of cocoa.

Now, he's whiter than a month old dog turd. Or is it terd?

They're both underlined as misspelled.

Sincerely,
Cookie Cutter

Posted On: Monday, Sep. 28 2009 @ 8:04PM
Cookie cutter says:

I was just making a joke, but now that I think about it, Vitiligo would make a great pasta dish...think about it:

Black Squid Ink Linguini in a White Cream Sauce

I can see it on a menu.

If Batali reads this blog, call me.

Sincerely,
Cookie Cutter

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond says:

Dear Cookie Cutter:

We ladies agree next time Andy Cooper and Ben Bloc go to Olive Garden they should order the green salad TOPPED with their secret "Vanderbilt Salad Dressing" recipe and the unlimited creamy "Vitiligo" pasta entree.

We hear it's all the rage with the after church crowd from the congregation of the First Mt. Zion Lutheran King Baptist Church (especially the big lady in the gospel choir).

Sincerely three awfully white ladies,

Miss Mitzi Gaynor, Gwen Verdon & Norma Desmond

They also work out together at the Astor Place David Barton gym...

Phil says:

Another website had a group of photos of AC and Ben coming out of the Astor Place David Barton gym a few weeks ago. They identified Ben as AC's trainer. Ben's very ripped but he's not AC's trainer.

Posted On: Tuesday, Sep. 29 2009 @ 3:31PM
M says:

Come, come. No need to be bitchy about Ben. I knew him back in '92, when he was studying photography and hadn't discovered the gym yet.

He's a nice man from middle class Paris and has enjoyed slumming it in teh East Village and slinging drinks at Barracuda, prior to opening up Eastern Bloc.

@Phil, what website had the pics of Anderson and Ben leaving the gym?

@Elizabeth, the website was CityFile: New York. There were about four pics, IIRC.

Page Six wrote up the group going to Bourgeois Pig, but left out Anderson's boyfriend! Then they wrote up the group going to Eastern Bloc, but they left out Anderson's boyfriend!

You really scooped it, Musto.

Noyes says:

Page Six usually jumps at the chance to insinuate that Anderson Cooper has homosexual tendencies, they did it when he and Ben were seen in Italy together (they called Ben a "older, muscular gentleman") and more recently when the two of them were biking around NYC, P6 said AC was with a very muscular guy who was wearing a tank top.
