Happy birthday to director Gus Van Sant, who turns 56 today

In a continued effort to bring you all that is important in the world of gay entertainment and ensure that you are being spoon-fed images of gorgeous, commoditized manflesh, we present the newly-minted AfterElton Briefs. Following the usual assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Hey grunge fans: Remember the naked baby on the album cover of Nirvana's Nevermind (still one of the greatest rock albums ever, IMHO)? He's 17 now and recently did an interview with NPR about it. I just can't believe that was almost 20 years ago...

• Project Runway's Wesley spoke about his romance with fellow contestant Daniel, noting that they tried to keep the relationship secret while they were on the show together. Which shouldn't have been too terribly hard.

• John Waters is reportedly hard at work on a script about the evil Pinhead's attempts to reclaim his puzzlebox ... wait, what? Oh, sorry ... I thought you said Hellraiser 2, not Hairspray 2. Um ... Viva Baltimore!

• Above, Chelsea Handler interviews Madonna's brother on the occasion of his throwing his sister under a bus for coke money (his words, not mine). (via Queerty)

• And here's a fun article on Batman's gay history. (It was just a phase!)

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

This guy!
