I must be way out of the loop because I just can't figure where the sexy is with this bloke. Sure, taste is extremely subjective but...C'mon! He's like total vanilla. And not in an ice cream sorta way; more like in an ice milk or, even (Egads!) a soy-milk way. And imitation vanilla, at that. Don't get me wrong, he's not bad looking by any shot, but he sure ain't no AJ Hammer.
On the one hand I see your point Beef. AC is a bit pretty, skinny rather than hunky, can seem a bit smug at times, allegedly a power bottom, and reportedly a bit of a slut with his men. None of which normally appeals to me. But, he is also, attractive, gorgeous eyes, extremely witty (anyone who saw his late/overnight ABC News broadcast with the unscripted bantering knows this), smart, willing to go into war zones, disaster areas, etc., and extremely good at his job. And let us not forget (for us queens anyway) marrying him means having Gloria fucking Vanderbuilt as your mother-in-law -- fabulous. Come to think of it, awsome writer for a father, incredibly successful business woman/designer for a mother, and a life with personal tragedy in his life (his brother's suicide), I think there is a lot of depth in Mr. Cooper that the public has no idea about.
So while AJ Hammer is a hottie in the conventional Los Angeles pretty boy playing a man kind of way. While AJ gets a tick on most of the checklist entries, and lets face it, is pretty much on TV because of his looks. I'm not trying to put Mr. Hammer down in anyway, more power to him, and he is hot. But for someone you just might want to stick around for a while, I think I'll take the fascinating, smart, and funny, intrepid reporter willing to take on the dangers of Iraq, and still have an elegent personal style.
As Kathy Griffin put it, not only did he cover Katrina, he did it in Prada!
Oops, I guess my attraction/feelings for AC runs a bit deeper than I realized. Hmmm, where did I put my therapist's number.... Just kidding, as my family will attest (to their dismay) I don't have a therapist. <hehe>
And back on point, in many of the remotes he has done, he has shown quite a bulge.
