2009 GLAAD Media Awards

The 2009 GLAAD Media Awards came to San Francisco Saturday, the third event in their series of traveling galas after last month's star-studded party in LA and their March bash in NYC. We had the chance to chat with Jason Lewis about reprising his role in the upcoming Sex and the City sequel and SJP's special deliveries. Simon Rex was also on hand, and he opened up about his good friend Paris Hilton and her relationship with Doug. Here's more:

Jason Lewis:

• On returning in the SATC movie sequel: "[There's] a good chance, yeah."
• On keeping in touch with the SATC ladies: "I see them out every now and then. We never really got on the phone with each other every day."
• On SJP's twins and James Wilkie: "Congratulations! That's awesome. . . She's a really neat lady. She's obviously prolific in what she's done — she's successful — but when she brought the kid to the set, mom would come on. She's very sweet with children, you can see that joy and innocence come out of her."

The GLAAD Media Awards came to LA on Saturday night with another star-studded red carpet. Kathy Griffin couldn't help but show off her "banging bikini bod" yet again when she took the stage to accept her award. Ellen DeGeneres also took home a statue and looked fantastic with Portia De Rossi as they took a moment to talk about their love. Jessica Alba shimmered and smiled brightly while presenting an award and the women of Wisteria Lane supported Marc Cherry when Desperate Housewives won best TV comedy series. Next up, the GLAAD awards hit San Francisco on May 9.

The annual series of nationwide GLAAD media award ceremonies kicked off this weekend in NYC. Vanessa Williams and her pregnant Ugly Betty costar Ana Ortiz were two of the attendees, while Tyra Banks received the Excellence in Media Award for her efforts to increase "visibility and understanding of the gay and lesbian community." T.R. Knight and Chris Noth also came out to show their support, taking the stage and looking handsome in their suits. Los Angeles and San Francisco awards are still coming up, but the Manhattan stars looked like they were enjoying the kickoff event as they smiled and mingled the night away.
