This was EVERYTHING we could have wanted her to say at such an important event - and so much more!

At last night's 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, held in New York, Anderson Cooper was the recipient of the "Vito Russo Award," which is given to an "openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality!"

While that itself is incredible and exciting news, Madonna was on hand to present her longtime friend with his honor, and donned a complete Cub Scout uniform for the occasion!

Ch-ch-check out her rousing, articulate and thoughtful speech, during which she called on the Boy Scouts of America to end its ban on gay scouts and scout leaders, criticized the Russian government for its imprisonment of Pussy Riot, and called for a much-needed social revolution here in the US of A (above)!

INCREDIBLE!

All we have to say is that Anderson is one lucky silver fox!

Her words have so much fire, passion, and most important of all, TRUTH, behind them, and we couldn't be more proud to have such a powerful ally in the fight for equal rights and a better tomorrow!

You can find the full list of awards and recipients from the ceremony…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

John Cena is probably the nicest guy in World Wrestling Entertainment! We met him last year at an anti-bullying red carpet event and we're so happy to hear he's continuing with his advocacy work!

The WWE Superstar is partnering with Post Fruity Pebbles to promote the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the ‘be a STAR,’ anti-bullying alliance through an instant-win VIP meet-and-greet contest.

Cena, along with the logos of his two passion charities, will appear on the cereal box nationwide January through March and says:

This show generally puts us in tears, so for them to tackle such an important topic - and with her presence - we're blubbering messes!

Check out this clip from Friday's episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which features Demi Lovato performing her smash single, Skyscraper, in order to bring awareness to the serious - and detrimental - effects that bullying can have on a teen (above)!

And yeah! The Kardashian sisters seem to be there, too!

So powerful! We couldn't be more proud of Demi from rising above all of her personal problems and using that experience to educate her peers on this issue!

Such an inspiration!

"I think people should take Perez Hilton’s lead. He used to be really mean to some celebs on his site PerezHilton.com, but he took it on himself to realize that while he was trying to stop bullying, he was still bullying himself. He did a really great and courageous thing by turning around his entire site and brand to stop bullying. He could have lost a lot of readers by changing his site all the way around, but that proved he was really serious about stopping bullying, and I think he’s a great influence when it comes to that. He took the initiative to stop something even if it could have been at the risk of his own career.”
