Anderson Cooper's Big Pay Day

According to Page Six' not always so reliable sources, the handsome and oh-so-outed news anchor Anderson Cooper has re-negotiated his contract with the cable channel, netting him a cool $50 million over a 5 year period.

Here's what Page Six' spy told them:

"Cooper just got an incremental amount added on to his original contract to keep him happy for the next two years and then will make a much larger amount for the following three years - all of which will be worth $50 million."

A rep for CNN declined to comment, and as usual, Anderson won't tell.
