Actors Chris Colfer and Darren Criss looked super dapper in slick black suits on the red carpet of the 2011 Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (September 18) – more pictures below.

The 21 year-old Chris, who plays gay student Kurt Hummel, and 24 year-old Darren, who plays Kurt’s boyfriend Blaine Anderson, quickly became the most handsome and enigmatic gay couple in Glee club history.

Unfortunately, GLEE left empty handed with no awards, but actress Jane Lynch, who plays the devilish Sue Sylvester, delivered a fantastic ceremony as the host of the evening. Congrats to all Gleeks. The new season of “Glee” premieres today (Tuesday, September 20).

Actor Darren Criss, best known for playing an openly gay student, Blaine Anderson, on GLEE, quickly become an emerging gay icon, landing a photo spread and interview on the latest issue of OUT Magazine.

In the interview, the 24 year-old wants to set the record straight – Darren is not gay! However, he feels it’s empowering for a straight man to be able to play a homosexual character in a hit show like GLEE. Here are the highlights:

On being part of Glee: “The coolest part is not that it’s a hit show — that’s a bonus — and, of course, that I have a job. But the real cool thing is I was inadvertently raised by the gay community.”

On his character, Blaine: “I think it’s more empowering to everybody, including myself, if I’m articulate about identifying myself as a straight male playing a gay character. Ultimately, that’s more powerful for both communities.”
