Check Out the Winners of the TripOut Gay Travel Awards! Rio, NYC, Paris... Ooh La La!

Sweet! The Sugar Loaf, Rio de Janeiro

By Selena Watkins

The winners have been announced for the first ever TripOut Gay Travel Awards.

Voted on by the site's readers, TripOutGayTravel.com honored the best of the best around the world for their loyalty to the LGBT community.

The winners were announced this morning after about two months and over 100,000 votes. Did you vote?

The first winner is one we all know and love, the near and dear New York City for Best U.S. Destination.

The Big Apple beat out New Orleans, Provincetown, Portland, Oregon, Philadelphia and San Fran! Wow. New Yorkers, be proud.

Empire State of Mind

The Best Global Destination winner is Rio de Janeiro. I've never been but I know it's all about the Carnival madness and sex, sex, sex. At least in my imagination it is.

Milo Ventimiglia to Become Even More of a Sci-Fi Geek Sex Symbol

No, he's not addressing the U.N., but Milo does have some news.

Milo Ventimiglia is already a mega-hearthrob thanks in no small part to his frequent shirtlessness on Heroes. But now the handsome wiry star is taking his geek icon status up a notch by launching a new online reality series, "Ultradome" which will feature weekly battles of Sci-Fi and fantasy characters to find out who'd kick who's ass. Yep, it's gonna be Gandalf vs. Darth Vader!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the reality show (with a sense of humor, obvi) will be a "new scripted Web series where passionate fanboys settle hypothetical disputes in a special effects showdown."

Some further info: In each three-to-five-minute episode, two mega-fans will engage in a heated geek-culture debate -- "Who's tougher, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, or Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones?" -- then they'll be transported to a stadium where they'll engage in single combat using all the weaponry, skills and pop culture touchstones from their respective hero's creative arsenal. Think of Spike's Ultimate Warrior, but geekie!

No word yet on which bigtime site will host the series. Til then, enjoy Milo getting some wookie nookie, below. And with extra wavy hair!

Chewbacca hearts Milo; and so do we.
