AfterElton Briefs: James Franco as Allen Ginsberg, Kris Allen on Adam and Drake, and more!

by
Brian Juergens


Aaron Tveit (Next to Normal) and James Franco as Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg in Howl

Following this 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.

  • Here's a cute new interview out ex-pat David Sedaris did for the London Times: "Hugh and I have been together for 18 or something years. What’s our secret? Hugh never listens to a word I say."
  • Kris Allen had some nice things to say about both his American Idol roomie, Adam Lambert, and Lambert's alleged boyfriend, Drake LaBry: "They click well and they're really nice together." Platonically, of course!!

  • Above, NewNowNext Awards host RuPaul makes squabbling reality show darlings Paulina Porizkova and Selene Luna lip-sync .... for their lives! (The Awards premiere this Saturday on our parent net, Logo)
  • The Gayest Tonys Ever were also the highest-rated for the show in three years.
  • Cutiepatootie actor Jonathan Scarfe talks about his gay character on Raising the Bar (which returns tonight) and his odd habit of playing gay opposite guys from Saved by the Bell.

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

This guy!

    Franco is crazy about the beats and has done a lot of serious research on his own, long before this role came along.

     

    Tveit was Super Hot on the Tonys.

    Was the link on the home page to today's AfterElton Briefs broken for anyone else? It was linked to the home page instead of this blog post.

    i read that poem a few months ago after being told about the movie and what it was based on

    I'm not sure i understood what i read. all i could gather was the author saw a lot of stuff and wrote about it in...interesting details and sentences.

    ah, and i gotta say i loved the people interview....people did a whole article devoted to Drake and now we have Kris saying how their 'friendship' is a cool combination.

    i remember when people mag finally gave up and started calling samantha ronson lindsay's girlfriend...it was like "ok, enough. we know the real deal. let's call it for what it is"

    well, i guess the rolling stones interview will finally put everything into place once and for all.  no more dancing around crap

    Aren't the NewNowNext Awards on this Saturday, not Friday?

    Also, James Franco looks like Fred Armisen in that pic.
