AfterElton Briefs: Dirty Laundry gets a nod, B.D. Wong has a laugh, and more!

Out actor B.D. Wong

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 trailer for Gus van Sant's Paranoid Park is way better than I had expected. (My initial fears that he was wandering into Larry Clark territory were likely unfounded.)

• I'm fine with a Fight Club musical, as long as they keep the penguins.

• Out actor B.D. Wong is among the TV procedural vets that appear in this amusing strike video about a crime show that has an "impossibly hot" cast but no writers. Favorite line: "We're thinking that we had an episode like this once where her mom did it ... so maybe this also was her mom. It was a little similar to this."

Dirty Laundry cutie Rockmond Dunbar

• Gay indie film Dirty Laundry (which we reviewed over here) has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Clay Cane points out the progress this represents given the organization's conservative history, and also brings up some interesting points about Angelina Jolie's nomination for A Mighty Heart.

• And don't forget to come back at 10 PM EST to join in the fun on the liveblog of Make Me a Supermodel! Anyone have any ideas for a virtual drinking game? How about a shot every time we see Nikki Taylor's gums?

And today's Briefs are brought to you by ... out underwear model (and onetime Mr. Lance Bass) Pedro Andrade!
