Werq. Jinkx Monsoon wins serves red carpet realness at Logo’s NewNowNext awards. 

Gagging. BuzzFeed has the super new trailer for the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The New New Republic. 

What impression do you want readers to walk away with after seeing the new logo?

Creative Director Dirk Barnett: That we are a must-read brand. Obviously it goes beyond the logo to communicate that, but as soon as we designed our first covers with it, we knew we had something vital. And energetic! One of the underlying principles of our redesign philosophy is to bring a new level of energy to the brand.

BuzzFeed has an exclusive look at a deleted sex scene from the new Logo series, DTLA. While the clip maybe censored there are some NSFW goodies for those who look for them.

It Gets Better. MTV hand-picked their favorite celebrity videos ahead of the second installment of the “It Gets Better” special with Dan Savage airing on Tuesday, October 9 at 11 p.m. ET/PT. (Watch their inspiring messages here.)

RuPaul ‘campaigns’ in New Hampshire. The drag queen superstar made it clear to voters he was NOT Ron Paul:

“Hello, everybody! I want you to know that I am not Ron Paul, I am RuPaul and I am not running for president. I have a message for Ron Paul and all the other Republican candidates: if you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love anybody else– can I get an amen in here? You better vote!”

RuPaul has been tweeting his adventures in the Granite state since arriving on Saturday. And, though he’s not a political man (he’s on a mission of love), Ru reminded everyone “that this great nation was founded by a bunch of men wearing wigs.” [Too bad he wasn’t invited to the Republican debate.] [Watch a video of his speech]
