There's an interesting buzz going around these days, and its focus is a new genre of celebrities: infohunks.

Anderson Cooper is a perfect example. Yale-educated and the son of fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt, he began his news career on Channel One, the network broadcast into schools around the nation. How did he land that choice job? Cooper told Papermag that in 1992 "I just started going to wars. I took a video camera and went to Burma." The videos he made there and in Haiti, Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda impressed Channel One.

Can't get enough of him? Well, rest easy: Visit The Anderson Cooper Fan Club. This fan site includes a biography, FAQs, an unconventional, funny photo gallery and information on how to subscribe to the Gunmetal Grey mailing list.
