Add Jessica Alba and Sascha Baron Cohen to the celebs we'll be seeing at the GLAAD Media Awards next month here in Los Angeles.

I just got word that the two have signed on to present at the 20th annual gala, which honors media outlets for their fair and inclusive coverage of gay and lesbian issues.

Expected guests include T.R. Knight, Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart, John Stamos, Megan Mullally and Alan Cumming. Kathy Griffin is among the night's honorees.

No word if Cohen will appear as himself or as his gay fashionista alter-ego Brüno.

Meanwhile, in New York City on Saturday, GLAAD will honor Tyra Banks and Suze Orman in front of an audience that will include Vanessa Williams, Eric Mabius, Ana Ortiz and Chris Noth.
