Spike TV to Salute Everything Guys Love in First Annual 'Guys Choice'

Two-Hour Event Premieres Wednesday, June 13th at 10 PM, ET/PT Voting Starts May 1st Only On http://www.spiketv.com

NEW YORK, April 5 -- Spike TV is giving the biggest shout- outs in television history to the things guys love most with the first annual GUYS CHOICE. In what is sure to be the signature event for the channel, Spike TV is relying on its millions of viewers to pick who to bow down to from the worlds of sports, music, film, TV, and the internet.

Honors like BEST A**-KICKER, BALLSIEST BAND, HOTTEST GIRL ON THE PLANET, FUNNIEST M.F., LUCKIEST BASTARD, MOST VIRAL VIDEO, MOST DANGEROUS MAN and THE BRASS BALLS (legendary action hero) AWARD will make this non-traditional awards show a one-of-a-kind cacophony of manly pursuits.

This star-studded event will feature everything guys want, including a bevy of unbelievably foxy trophy girls. Also, for the first time in awards show history, Spike TV will narrow the field for all awards to only two nominees, so it can be settled like men: 'mano a mano.' The two-hour event is scheduled to tape on June 9 at the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles. Spike TV's GUYS CHOICE will premiere on Wednesday, June 13 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT.

In addition to honoring the sexiest women and coolest guys from the past year, GUYS CHOICE will also feature unforgettable tributes to legendary entertainers, rockers, and babes, as well as edgy stand-up comedy and truly house-shaking musical performances.

Voting for this year's nominees on http://www.spiketv.com starts Tuesday, May 1 and runs through Friday, June 1. Also online, fans can log on to view exclusive red carpet and backstage coverage of the event.
