A few commenters pointed to us that fans of Anderson Cooper are always busy of accusing others in stalking. Bloggers accuse all other bloggers. Some go as far as stalking fellow “stalkers”. What do you get sending freaks to the frontlines of war on stalking? Freakspeakers enjoy condemning what they see as the army of fangirl stalkers with a chief stalker Anthony. His biggest crime was going to signings and taking pictures of Anderson’s apartment where he was legally, and posting a picture of Anderson’s window on his photo page. Meanwhile, they met Anthony at a book signing, and Christiane posted pictures of Anderson’s apartment. Pot, are you calling the kettle black?
Others rushed to call freaks stalkers for posting the photos, but they couldn’t choose between that and freaks being liars for posting fake pictures. That would be saying Freaks are fake stalkers, too easy for them to get off the hook. Apartment pictures are obviously real, which makes their case worse. Please do not suspect me in trusting Freaks.
There is a stalker blog I do trust -- The Real Estalker, that posted these photos and it’s no Gawker Stalker. The blog Mama knows her celebrities and real estate, and verifies her information, and well-respected. It turned out Mama a he – a top-notch realtor Mark David. He used the photos from Freaks and confirmed it is Anderson’s penthouse. The fans were confused by this, our commenter Andie C had some doubts: “Only because I heard that this information--about the mock-ups being posted--was forwarded to him and he had someone tell whoever forwarded him the head's up that they are, indeed, fake.” The heads-up came from Anderson’s email to Cindy, ATA, ACE and AC360 blog regular.
The thought of another blogger having a better access to something Anderson related was unbearable to Cindy. Her and the likes flocked to ACE in disbelief of Freaks audacity posting fake photos. They decided to start the campaign against the evil blog: “I have and will continue to send Anderson e-mail regarding this other blog. If he has any balls maybe he will clear this up, because I think it is all, and I mean all, coming to a head. "What goes up, must come down," and when it does these weirdos can take credit for that too.“ Cindy became the leader of the outraged. “ALL...I just went and emailed Anderson, CNN, and 360 again about all of this crap!!” “Wonder how we can reach him...I've already emailed AC, CNN, and 360...Might as well do Klein too!!” They all decided: “Fuck Anderson. Take it to Klein!” It all was really “coming to a head”.
Cindy’s head. A miracle happened! “...I emailed Anderson about the photos and guess who just emailed back from their blackberry!?!”, “Want to know the truth on the photos...I know ...got it straight from Anderson himself...” . For non-believers she had proof! “This is what Anderson emailed me...I have not seen this website but any "photos" of my apartment are fake! Do you really think i would give permission to some random website to publish real photos of someplace I live? Life is too short to worry about this stuff, so I don't, but I find it unfortunate.” How could anybody think she made it up! “If you'll know one thing about me it is I DO NOT LIE...I thought I was helping to clear this up. Instead I get attacked! He emailed me!!! YES HE DID!! And those are his EXACT words...why he wrote so much...who knows..but he did.” And the legend was born.
Hausfraus are determined in their love and desire to protect Anderson. And the more loving outbursts they have, the faster they get enraged if their idol does something unworthy of him. Libbey felt betrayed: "I guess that settles it then. Anderson has little respect for his fans. Fawning or not, he should be be grateful but instead he gives exclusives to a blog that belittles his fans. I can't really watch or buy whatever book from a person who is that ungrateful to his fan." And of course, Cindy: “If he's so sick of the nauseating praise let's see how he reacts when he has no fans and becomes a nobody again!! Guess then you'll become a nobody too!! Since you think you know so much.”
Be afraid of the wrath of hausfraus.

Going to a book-signing doesn't make me a stalker. I feel bad for regular fans, all the bickering makes everybody look like crazy stalkers. Most fans like and respect Anderson, and there's nothing wrong they want to meet him in person.
Not surprised that Anderson needs bodyguards
Anderson has bodyguards?
yes, the self proclaimed Sharla Jones
Anderson has bodyguards depending on where he's appearing, and he's had to deal with extensive stalking.
It's gotten worse as he's become more well-known.
I read that he got bodyguards after a woman came up to him near CNN building. I think she had a teddy bear with her
I have copied this from Towleroad, a gay blog. I find these words both truthful and inspirational.

Funny how as a community we ask the world not to judge us, but feel so entitled to judge others.
None of us have ever been in this man's shoes, none of us KNOWS what goes on inside this man's head. Why do so many of you think it's ok to make speculations, judgments and demands on someone you've never met?
If you're so concerned about gay visibility, go work hard and get yourself a high profile national tv show and tell the world you're inner most thoughts.
I hate to say this, but ya'll should "Starting with the man in the mirror", it would certainly serve the gay cause more than spending your energy and time ranting in the comments section of someone's else blog about someone you don't even know.

Molly and Lunacy, does this make sense to you?
8:44 it was Elaine
Does anyone still entertain doubts that Lunacy is indeed Christiane after THIS post?
Christiane is obsessed with stalkers. I think she runs this blog.
Really? I thought Lunacy just called Christiane a stalker.
What are you all talking about!!?? Christiane isn't obsessed with stalkers...she IS a stalker!!
Can someone explain this Christiane hatred to me? What has she done that's so bad?
I guess you could call her a stalker, but then would you call the others who go insane when he's not on air and post on every single board asking the same questions about where people think he is...ah hem, acfan?? Would that be Super Stalker - the super hero of the 21st century??
This is from the East Hampton Star from back in February. Geez, even the writer calls them stalkers...
The tidbit had been posted on a Web log titled “All Things Anderson,” which obsessively comments on every episode of the “Anderson Cooper 360” show on CNN. Mr. Cooper became something of a hero to many for his emotive coverage of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, but this blog seems less concerned with his merits as a journalist than with his fine cheekbones and striking blue eyes and white hair.
The site’s entries are chatty, reminiscent of schoolgirls’ talk across popcorn and Tiger Beat magazine at slumber parties before the Internet age: Anderson Cooper’s half-brother, Stan Stokowski, is a drummer out in the Hamptons? It’s just one more piece of the celebrity anchor for a fan to pull in to complete his bio.
The posting can still be found on the blog, under the Jan. 21 listing, complete with a picture, lifted from the xFrames’ Web site, of Mr. Stokowski at a drum set. More intrusively, there is another of the two men at home playing with Mr. Stokowski’s young son.
“We got all these weird requests from freakish fans of Anderson Cooper,” Mr. Ellis said — the blogger had posted the family photo at such a request — and one can imagine Mr. Stokowski, a landscape architect and the son of the conductor Leopold Stokowski, wincing at the unasked-for attention.
Can someone explain this Christiane hatred to me? What has she done that's so bad?
Other than starting this blog to declare herself the speech police? Just read the other comments threads - there's plenty to loathe in there.
Geez, even the writer calls them stalkers...
Uh, no... he doesn't. He compares them to schoolgirls. Here's the link to the article itself.
The article's author could have done a bit more research himself; the photo 'intrusively' posted to ATA was from People magazine, where I assume a few more people saw it that saw it on ATA.
I'm getting a little annoyed at all the stalker-calling in the fandom. It's like dropping the nazi-bomb in political talk: "You're a stalker..." "No, YOU're a stalker."
Please. People swooning on discussion boards aren't stalking. People lining up for an autograph or snapping a pic outdoors aren't stalking.
Crazy people claiming to have had a child, or appearing uninvited in a limo ARE stalking.
Can't anyone tell the difference?
Thank you Anon 7:34.
That photo was posted YEARS ago in People.
I doubt very much that there are many people out there who are dying to find out more about Stan Stowkowski OR his band. They probably don't need to worry about their privacy being invaded.
