Power List 2013: ANDERSON COOPER

Journalist/TV Personality/Author, 45

Although his daytime talk show, Anderson Live, was cancelled after its second season, Coop hasn't curbed his drive for media ubiquity. After publicly coming out last year via Andrew Sullivan's blog, Cooper could finally let it all hang out (and he did, with Kathy Griffin during their annual New Year's Eve lovefest). He remains anchor of the Emmy-winning Anderson Cooper 360, which has strong ratings despite CNN's slump, and is a correspondent for CBS's 60 Minutes. He was also awarded the Vito Russo Award at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards.
