Tim Gunn's Sexy Secret Crush!

Project Runway host Tim Gunn is daring to design a dream date on the not-so down low.

He’s after his celeb crush and fellow silver fox Anderson Cooper, although the newsman, who stays silent on his sexuality, has been elusive.

“We’ve actually been trying to have lunch for a year and a half,” Tim, 55, told OK! at the recent Addressing Psoriasis launch in NYC. “Both of us are so busy that we haven’t been successful doing it, but we exchange e-mails.”

What attracts Tim to the 41-year-old AC 360 anchor?

“His brain, looks and style,” says Tim.

“He’s fabulous!”
