Last month the 21st annual GLAAD Media Awards were handed out in a ceremony in NYC, NY and last night the second batch of awards — “recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and the issues that affect their lives” — where handed out here in LA in a second ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert performed and artists like Wanda Sykes, Drew Barrymore won GLAAD Media Awards alongside TV shows like Glee and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals yesterday and some deets from last night’s affair:

The Fox musical comedy was among the winners at the 21st annual GLAAD Media Awards. The show’s cast and creator Ryan Murphy received the trophy for outstanding comedy series at Saturday’s glitzy ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. Murphy, in particular, praised lesbian actress Jane Lynch and gay actor Chris Colfer for their contributions. “We have a great responsibility with the show,” Murphy beamed. Murphy told the crowd that Colfer’s character, outspoken gay soprano Kurt Hummel, would have a boyfriend next season, and the pair would become prom kings. Murphy also promised the crowd that Colfer’s character “would never be the victim.” “Iron Chef” Cat Cora presented actress-director Drew Barrymore with the Vanguard Award, which honors efforts to increase visibility and understanding of the gay community. In a humorous video before accepting her trophy, Barrymore listed several of her inspirational gay colleagues, including her agent, lawyer, doctor, stylists and one of her dogs. “The thing that means the most to me about an evening like this, and why I want to fight and be outspoken about this is because there are so many people who are in desperate need of families,” Barrymore said. Constance McMillen, the lesbian Mississippi teenager who challenged her school district’s ban of same-sex prom dates, presented comedian-actress Wanda Sykes with the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which is given by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to an openly gay member of the entertainment community for their work toward eliminating homophobia. “I’m willing to give this award to you,” Sykes teased McMillen, “but I’m not gonna do it. It means a lot to me.” Other winners included Logo’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” for outstanding reality program and “A Single Man” for outstanding wide release film. “A Single Man” director Tom Ford wasn’t on hand to receive his trophy. His partner Richard Buckley accepted the award on Ford’s behalf because the filmmaker was stranded in London thanks to the volcanic cloud of ash. Adam Lambert, the glam-rocking “American Idol” runner-up who raised eyebrows with his racy performance at last year’s American Music Awards, capped off the ceremony hosted by transgender actress Candis Cayne and gay actor Wilson Cruz with a performance of his tunes “Music Again” and “Fever.” He ended by pleading for diversity within the gay community. The awards salute fair, accurate and inclusive representation of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives in the media. Other winners — chosen from 152 nominees in 32 categories — were awarded at a March ceremony in New York, while the remainder will be presented at a San Francisco ceremony in June.

Yeah, I know the NYC ceremony last month was fab but LA always does this show better. What a fantastic turn-out for such an important awards show. After the jump, check out some of the winners on stage as they collected their GLAAD Media Awards last night …

Last Friday we heard from RuPaul herself that her new book Workin’ It! was being released in stores this week and last night, Ru was on hand at the Borders in Columbus Circle in NYC, NY to sign copies of that new book for fans. Here are a few photos of RuPaul at the booksigning last night:

I love me some RuPaul and while I love Ru when she’s all prettied up with high wigs and fab clothes, I don’t really mind so much when Ru is out of drag. But I’m not sure I’m feeling this mustache that he has got going on in these photos. Mebbe it needs to be blonde? I’m not sure. But I digress … as I mentioned last week, I was lucky enough to secure a copy of Workin’ It! and I gotta tell you, if you are a RuPaul fan then you must get this book. The book lays out all of Ru‘s fabulous style secrets and explains the process of being the most fabulous drag queen of all. I’m not sure if RuPaul will be doing any other booksignings in the weeks to come but be on the lookout … he may come to YOUR town soon.

The always fabulous RuPaul is releasing a new book next Tuesday titled Workin’ It! which is more than just a book about style, it’s also a fierce guidebook for living fabulous thru life’s little bumps. Here is the cover of Ru‘s new book and a brief description of what the book is all about:

More than just a style guide, this is a navigation system through the bumpy road of life. Let RuPaul teach you the tried, tested and found true techniques that will propel you from background player to shining star! No more playing small, your time is now! “Workin’ It!” will provide helpful and provocative tips on fashion, beauty, style and confidence for girls and boys, straight and gay – and everyone in between! No one knows more about life, self-expression and style than RuPaul! With photos by Mathu Andersen from the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and a fresh look at style and inner beauty, “Workin’ It!” will pick up where the show leaves off. The book will be as colourful, fun, and intriguing as RuPaul, with insights into makeup, clothing choices and the illusion of drag. Fans of RuPaul will get piece of Ru’s philosophy on style and attitude – and how it’s more than the clothes that make the man, or woman! With fabulous colour photos throughout and a fresh, funky design “Workin’ It!” will be the perfect guide to RuPaul – part style guide, part confidence manifesto, and entirely fabulous!

RuPaul, who is a huge fan of Pink is the new Blog, recorded a short video message especially for Pink readers. After the jump, check out Ru‘s message for YOU …

As I mentioned earlier, David and I were invited to attend the 2nd annual NewNowNext Awards hosted by LOGO here in NYC last night and we had a blast. Because we were not allowed to take photos during the show, I cannot post the ones I clandestinely snapped until after the show airs on June 13 … but I do have some pics to share:

I got to meet, hang out and bond with the fabulous singers Sia and Del Marquis from Scissor Sisters (Del has also released some solo music which I have listened to and LOVE so much). I also got to chat with Bethenny and Jill from the Real Housewives of NYC (no pic tho, they snuck out of the show before I could accost them for a photo) and talk at length with Ongina from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Gurl is so fab and so sweet … we bonded over mini-pizzas :) Ongina lives in LA so hopefully we’ll get to run into one another again soon :)

I also got to meet some really great folks last night … like cute couple Chris and Craig and some LOGO folks — Jonathyn, Morgan and Erin. There were so many lovely people who had such nice things to say about the blog, it was my pleasure meeting you all. MTV parties are always so fun and are always full of really great people. David and I ended up staying out WAY later than I would’ve liked but we were having such a great time, it couldn’t be helped. Make sure YOU TUNE IN to LOGO on June 13 to find out who went home with this year’s NewNowNext Awards. Don’t forget, Pink is the new Blog sponsored the award for the celeb who is Ruining Pop Culture. I know who won … but I’m SWORN to secrecy ;) Tune in and find out who won!

Tonight … David, Eden and I are going to see Rock of Ages on Broadway. I’m so excited … I’ve wanted to see this show for so long … and tonight’s the night! Woot!!
