Tina Fey: If I were gay, I'd tell the world at the Super Bowl

Tina Fey was a hit with the crowd at the 2011 GLAAD Awards; Rickyk Martin took home the Vito Russell Award and acknowledged his partner for the first time.

Bravo executive and talk-show host Andy Cohen has a "Twink" in his eye.

After bantering with Tina Fey about the Hostess Twinkie-inspired euphemism ? for young-looking gay men with fair complexions and slender builds ? at the GLAAD Awards on Saturday night, Cohen got physical with just such a snack cake at a Manhattan gay bar following the ceremony.

After picking up an award for an episode of her sitcom "30 Rock" at the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's 22nd annual media awards ceremony, Fey talked about the NBC series' equal opportunity approach: "Liz Lemon's bisexual shoes, Jenna Maroney's semi-transgendered boyfriend ? and," she added, in the coming week, Alec Baldwin's GE executive character "Jack Donaghy buys a struggling cable network called Twinks!"

The laughter from the appreciative crowd at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square hit an extended note when Cohen, who emceed the evening, chimed in: "I'd watch that!"

He wasn't kidding. A few hours later and a few blocks further west in Hell's Kitchen, Cohen showed the crowd at gay hotspot Industry exactly what he thinks about Twinks.

According to sources who are socially familiar with Cohen, Randy Andy "beckoned" to a cute, blond male in his early 20s, with studs in his ears, who was on the other side of the room.

The blond approached and Cohen, "dressed in a sharp suit," lifted the Twink's shirt and "ran his hands all over [the guy's] body," while the Bravo exec's friends watched.

Our sources left before Andy, so we don't know whether the encounter went farther than that copped feel.

Cohen wasn't the only GLAAD Awards goer having a good time. Back at the Marriott, we spotted Gov. Andrew Cuomo's girlfriend Sandra Lee, dropping it like it was hot on the dance floor after the awards. So that's how she burns off those "Semi-Homemade" calories.

Performer Ricky Martin, who took home the Vito Russell Award for promoting equal rights, acknowledged his partner Carlos Gonzalez for the first time in public since he came out, calling Gonzalez his "partner in crime and my boyfriend." Martin announced he was gay on his website last March.

If Fey ever switches teams, it will be with a splash. When Cohen asked her during the awards if she'd tell the world on Oprah or via a magazine cover (as Ellen DeGeneres did with Time), Fey declared: "Halftime at the Super Bowl!" Her Plan B? Inserting an "I'm Gay!" photo into the Oscars "In Memorium" segment that honors Academy members who've died over the last year.

What do you think of that, Ellen?
