There was sexy red carpet insanity at the NewNowNext Awards last night, and we’ve got the photos to prove it. But we still can't prove that Alec Mapa Frenched Cheyenne Jackson – where are the pictures of that?!?!

Ricky Martin is heading to Broadway to star as Che in a new production of Evita to open in spring 2012.

Over on E! they have a story about the sexiest werewolves, but they don’t have George from Being Human on the list. They’re taking suggestions for the tenth slot in the comments, so go make that happen. Right now the comments are dominated by Twilight nuts who want to argue that Jacob and the Wolf Pack aren’t werewolves, and E! should do some research. I think those ,em>Twilight fans should find something that matters to talk about.

T.R. Knight is one of dozens of celebrities confirmed for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation Safari carnival in Los Angeles. In the past the carnival has featured Tom Cruise in the dunk tank and Jack Nicholson reading stories to kids. The fundraiser takes place this Sunday, and with any luck T.R. will bring his new man.

In a video that autoplays at the BBC, Russell T. Davies discusses his plans for the new season of Torchwood, and also throws some serious love to the new crew on Doctor Who, the franchise even he was too terrified to destroy.

According to a new story at the Washington Blade, a desperately needed supplemental funding bill for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is meeting stiff resistance from legislators afraid to anger Tea Party supporters. With high unemployment causing many to lose health insurance, ADAP ranks have swelled and 11 states have waiting lists for anti-retroviral drugs. The $126 million supplemental appropriation is a drop of oil in the Gulf of Mexico compared to the total federal budget.

A new CBS poll says that 77% of Americans know someone who is gay. That helps our approval ratings.

On the strength of American Idol and Glee, Fox got an average of $200,008 for a 30-second commercial last quarter, while NBC got $74,000. Ouch.

Could desperation to get immigration reform passed in the wake of the Arizona law scuttle any hope of allowing gay Americans to sponsor same-sex partners?

The so-called physicist who wrote this article on quantum entanglement seems to have gotten his degree by watching Hollywood movies.

That newspaper prop that got everyone talking on Monday has been in use since the 1960s. The company that makes it will custom print a front page for studios, but the center is always the same, and there are even cases of movies stacking papers and ending up with the same page left and right  on the screen.

The White House may have issued a proclamation for June as GLBT Pride Month, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a proclamation and set up a whole website.

Foxconn is the Chinese company that manufactures your gadgets, including the iPhone. They’ve had a suicide problem lately, and think they’ve found the cure: they’re going to quit paying families death benefits for workers. I’m guessing Dick Cheney is consulting.

Dear Delusional Twilight fan: True Blood is not “a half-baked remake of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series.” 

The new Muppets movie opens Christmas Day 2011. Best. Present. Ever.

London Mayor Boris Johnson is angry that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was built in Orlando, not London. Because London is known for its theme parks.

The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is back in New York City, and now they have a treat with bacon – plus one named for Bea Arthur.

Erasure's Andy Bell released his solo album yesterday, and we featured his video Monday. We just received a photo pack in support of the album, and lookie there - bookends on queer music!

Yes, Adam is possible thanks to people like Andy.

Speaking of press packs, we also got one for Showtime's The Real L-Word. The best thing I can say is that our sisters at AfterEllen.com can no longer mock us over Logo's The A-List.

So much for that study about lesbians being more likely to be overweight.

Can anyone tell me what Dolce & Gabbana is selling in this ad? And to whom?

Remember that the last Twilight: Whatever movie introduced the abtastic Wolf Pack? They've released some new stills from the new movie. While I can't say that the boys are fat, except for the guy on the right, their abs really aren't any better than mine.

Who likes craft services? You do!

Miley Cyrus was recently on The Graham Norton Show, and she talked about her hunky Aussie boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and the abs he has that rival fellow guest Usher. But she not a fan of his board shorts. In fact, despite the abs on her boyfriend, it's her gay best friend, with his great outfits and good looks that she wants, except for the fact that he doesn't want her. Norton is just glad to know she knows her friend is gay. I'm starting to think I've been too hard on Miley in the past – I think her support of gay rights is real and personal. But that doesn't mean I won't mock her awkward art, at least until it stops being awkward. And I can stop mocking her dating habits once she turns 18-years-old and they stop being a felony.

Now that Glee is over, I need my fix of the cast. One place to look is anything that filmed in Vancouver in the last 10 years, and you can probably find Canadian Cory Monteith, with a pronounced Canadian twang. In fact, he was in the second episode of Supernatural with hunks Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. While he didn't appear on screen with Jackles, his scream upon dying is memorable.

Norwegian Ninja. Need I say anything more?
