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.
- If it weren't on video, I wouldn't believe it: an old clip of Anderson Cooper reporting from Chelsea BDSM shop The Noose. (Now that's what I call "Headline Noose"! Bah-dum-bum.)
- We're not the only ones who find it interesting that As the World Turns is the only soap to post an increase in young viewers in the months since the Nuke storyline was introduced - The New York Times does, too.
- The Times also profiled gay actor Ben Daniels (Beautiful Thing), who recently snagged a Tony nomination for his breakout performance in Les Liaisons Dangereuses opposite Laura Linney. Though the sexuality of his character is center-stage, the piece fails to mention that the actor has been out since forever.
Musician Stewart Lewis
- here! Tunes (the music publishing arm of the gay television network) has announced their debut release for their first signed artist, NYC musician Stewart Lewis. To hear some samples of his pop/folk melodies, check out Lewis's Myspace page, and look for the album, in formation, in early June.
- Out in Hollywood has compiled some notable (and heartwarming) responses from celebs and such to repeal of the California same-sex marriage ban. My favorite has to be Governor Terminator's comment: "I will respect the court's decision." Brings a tear!
And today's Briefs are brought to you by...
Model and possible wrestling enthusiast William Levy!

That's because Times is a terrible newspaper
Don't you know that?
It has always been a terrible newspaper. Self-invented hype gave it its reputation and brain dead New Yorkers (and all those who think the shit of mainstream media doesn't smell) simply fall in line. "Oh it's the newspaper of record, you know." Yeah -- the morons who hired Judy Miller, and most recently Bill Kristol(nacht)
"largely unknown but deeply attractive British import..."
...yes...but hopefully not unknown too much longer. Of course, us Canadians got to have Ben Daniels for a while the summer before last while filming the tv mini "The State Within" in Toronto, (which, incidently, had Ben in a great on screen gay kiss) The man is brilliant, hot, and that sexy voice...
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
Ben Daniels
Could you please
Could you please differentiate between The Times and The New York Times clearly? I was really excited for a moment there... Oh well...
