Richard Simmons -- GaGa Over Anderson Cooper!

Anderson Cooper was outed as a Lady GaGa fan last night -- and the eternally short-shorted Richard Simmons didn't miss a beat challenging him to a "Just Dance" dance-off.

Richard Simmons: Click to watch
Cooper didn't take the bait, but the 100% authentic awkwardness is just as entertaining ... if not more.

17. What they didn't show is the tea party they had after the show. The main course was tea bags.

20. "He likes the Lady Gaga" "Yeah I like the Lady Gaga" (fans himself) lol so funny :D I watch The Ellen Show and Anderson Cooper 360. Also like Lady Gaga too. Wolf Blitzer danced on Ellen and Anderson Cooper made fun of him for doing that and he doesn't want to be made fun of so he doesn't dance on tv but he should like everyone tells him too :)

21. Anderson is handsome, and getting SO every year that goes by...I used to think that maybe he and Richard Engel from NBC had a "thing" going...but Richard is gone too much out of the country, and come to find out that Anderson has a thing for Latin guys...Oh well...that rules me out...but he's apparently a very nice guy, and keeps his homosexuality to himself...he doesn't want it to cast a bad light on his "serious" news media image...can't say I blame him......
Must be nice to be working......AND Gay!?!?!?

22. Has anyone ever MET Richard Simmmons? I thought he was a major weirdo-and then I met him, he is the nicest guy in Hollywood. Genuine, and kind, giving, and those dogs! i wish him all the best.

24. When Andy is paired with Kelly Ripa or other women on a talk show, his gayness comes out. He once went on and on about 'Real Housewives' and is more animated then he is on AC360.

26. Leave Anderson Cooper alone !! He is a class act !! That was a little hard to watch . Has anyone ever noticed that Anderson and Erica always flirt with each other ? I think its kinda cute !

27. Anderson and Erica don't flirt anymore on the air. If you watch him on his webcam, he totally ignores her, never looks her way, and looks away from her and talks to the crew, rarely her. Not that it matters, she is married, and he is gay.

28. Anderson and Erica don't flirt anymore on the air. On his webcam, you can see that he totally ignores her and looks away, talks to the crew, always on his BB and PC. Not that it matters, she's married and he's gay.

30. Richard Simmons would look good falling into a tiger cage at the zoo, and for the next 3 minutes. After that, probably not so entertaining.
