AfterElton Briefs: "Dark Knight" and "Mamma Mia!" both strike gold, Outfest names its winners, and more!

Gay-faves Cristian de la Fuente (The Class) and Eva Longoria Parker announced the noms for the 2008 ALMA Awards today live from Wisteria Lane

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.

• The big movie news today was of course The Dark Knight's record-smashing opening midnight/day/weekend/three-day total. But did you hear that gay-friendly Mamma Mia! also managed to scare up the biggest opening weekend in history for a movie musical, during that same Bat weekend? That's pretty incredible.

• According to Miss Kathy Griffin, oodles of fun stuff hasn't made it to the airwaves this season, including some interesting musings from "billionaire bear" Steve Wozniak, whom she claims commented in San Francisco, "You know, if I fall in love with a man, I fall in love with a man. There's nothing wrong with that." I didn't know it was possible, but The Woz just got even cooler.

• Pierce Brosnan won the top spot in a British poll of "Gay Icons" (over 50 category). I have no problem with that, as long as he doesn't sing his acceptance speech.

• Any excuse to post a pic of Chris Diamantopoulos (who plays Debra Messing's gay BFF on The Starter Wife and in real life is married to Ugly Betty's Becki Newton) is a good one.

• And finally, Outfest (the Los Angeles LGBT film fest) wrapped up this weekend, with the top prize going to Were the World Mine. For the full list of prizewinners, head on over here.

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