In late April LOGO TV and Pink is the new Blog asked for YOUR help in deciding which celebrity is Ruining Pop Culture in 2009 and that determination has been made. Altho the 2009 NewNowNext Awards were handed out in May, the show does not air until TONIGHT at 9PM ET on LOGO TV. It is my extreme pleasure to announce that the winner of Pink Is The New Blog’s Ruining Pop Culture Award, determined by YOUR votes, is … Miley Cyrus:

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!!

Last night, LOGO hosted the second annual NewNowNext Awards at the Hiro Ballroom at the Maritime Hotel here in NYC and a who’s who of cutting edge celebs made their way out for the event. David and I were graciously invited to attend and had ourselves a pretty spectacular time. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals last night:

RuPaul played host of the night’s festivities and a whole slew of really fun awards were handed out thruout the evening. The show won’t air on LOGO until June 13 so you’re just gonna hafta wait to find out who won all the fun awards ;) I will say, tho, that RuPaul was so awesome as host … she looked FABULOUS and managed to grace us with 3 costume changes thruout the night. Vanessa Williams was a nice surprise … there were just a lot of really fun folks there last night. We had blast. Our table was situated right next to Sia’s table and we bonded with her immediately. She came over to me to tell me that she loves reading my “bloggy” and uses it as her source of all the fun “gossy”. She is just insanely adorable. I have a few fun photos to post in the TV Guide post later on today .. but for now, congrats and love goes out to all the NewNowNext Award winners … and to Cheyenne Jackson for being hot.

Here is the full text of the 2009 NewNowNext Awards press release along with a voting widget where you can cast your votes in the various categories:

Logo, the gay and lesbian-themed network from MTV Networks, pays homage to the pioneers of today who are transforming and defining tomorrow’s pop culture with the second annual “NewNowNext Awards” 2009. Hosted by RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, this year’s celebration will feature a number of special guests and performers including Britney Spears who will be honored with the Always Next, Forever Now Award. Given annually, this special award pays homage to beloved LGBT icons. Premiering on Logo and simultaneously streaming on LOGOonline.com Saturday, June 13 at 9 PM ET/PT, “NewNowNext Awards” 2009 will be taped at the Hiro Ballroom from The Maritime Hotel in New York City on May 20.

Additional categories will be hosted on third-party blogs and sites including AfterEllen.com, AfterElton.com, ArjanWrites.com, Dlisted.com and PinkIsTheNewBlog.com. Last year “NewNowNext Awards” brought you the electrifying and firstever TV performance by Lady Gaga – before she began climbing the music charts and becoming the music and pop culture sensation she is today. In the same tradition this year’s awards will draw attention to what is new and next in music, film, television, online and pop culture. The “NewNowNext Awards” offers the LGBT perspective on what’s hot and hip in popular culture by honoring emerging and established artists and celebrities with such awards as Most Guiltiest Pleasure, Best Show You’re Not Watching and Brink of Fame: Music Artist. Unlike other awards shows, the “NewNowNext Awards” will not look at the year that passed, but will instead focus on what is up-and-coming in popular culture in 2009 and beyond. The 90-minute telecast will continue to put a spotlight on openly gay artists as well as all performers beloved by the LGBT community. The groundbreaking “NewNowNext Awards,” is the first truly multiplatform awards show. Viewers will be able to experience different aspects of the event across a number of platforms, including on-air, online at the event’s principal website, on-demand and on mobile devices. The tentpole event will also air on its sister websites AfterElton.com, NewNowNext.com and DowneLink.com and stream an online-only post show. “NewNowNext Awards” 2009 builds on Logo’s acclaimed NewNowNext franchise, which includes a pop culture blog NewNowNext.com and two on-air music shows: “NewNowNext PopLab,” the home for party music in all its forms and “NewNowNext Music,” the ultimate music video destination of today’s hottest artists and emerging musicians popular with the LGBT audience. Logo’s inaugural show last year, hosted by Candis Cayne and Colman Domingo, honored Tina Fey, Janet Jackson, designer Christian Siriano (Project Runway,) Leona Lewis, Planet Unicorn and many more. The awards also featured performances and appearances by Lady Gaga, The Cliks, Dangerous Muse and musician Cyndi Lauper. Logo’s “NewNowNext Awards” is sponsored by Orbitz.com, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Bridgestone and Avis. “NewNowNext Awards” are Executive Produced by Christopher Willey and Dave Mace for Logo and Frank Garritano for Line By Line Productions. Emmy-Award winner Manny Rodriguez will direct. For more information, visit LOGOonline.com or NewNowNextAwards.com.
