AfterElton Briefs: Christian makes (for) Whoopi, Cyndi shows her Pride, and more!

What will Christian Siriano (seen here at the Sex and the City premiere) whip up for Whoopi?

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.

• Project Runway's Christian Siriano will be designing Whoopi Goldberg's outfit for her Tonys hosting gig. Even I might tune in to see Miss Celie in full-on "Bitches of Sherwood Forest" gear.

• Michael Urie hints that a Broadway Ugly Betty musical may be more of a possibility than we had hoped for. Who doesn't want to see Hilda turn it out?

• Oh to live in London: the London Literature Festival will not only feature the UK premiere of the documentary For the Bible Tells Me So, but gay Anglican Bishop Gene Robinson (whose life is profiled in the film) will do a Q&A after, hosted by Sir Ian McKellen.

• Cyndi Lauper (whose new dance CD, Bring Ya to the Brink, hit stores yesterday) has been named a grand marshall of the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade, alongside Charo and Harvey Milk's nephew, Stuart (they join a few other locals previously named). This of course coming hot on the heels of other Cyndi/Gay Pride-related news...

• Denise Van Outen revealed that a nude John Barrowman once tried to drag her into Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's pool. Um, yeah ... me, too.

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

This guy!
