AfterElton Briefs: Barrowman talks Botox, Singer's new film is delayed again, and more!

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.

• John Barrowman credits skinny-dipping sessions with Denise Van Outen for his youthful appearance. Oh, and also the Botox.

• Is gay director Bryan Singer's latest project, Valkyrie, snakebit? Given that it stars Tom Cruise, would we expect anything otherwise?

• Tearoom: A 56-minute color silent film of an Ohio public restroom that was used to convict men of sodomy circa 1962 is now an art exhibit and a book. (via Towleroad)

• Wow. I mean, WOW: World of Wonder's new telanovela campfest, ¡Viva Hollywood!, looks like the most insane Latin soap opera competition with overacted death scenes, gratuitous male nudity and Charo EVER.

• Just because I think he's the best thing to happen to this state since the 1964 World's Fair: New York Governor David Paterson's videotaped address to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 2008 dinner, in which he pledged to push for equal marriage rights for gays and expressed regret at missing the chance to meet John Waters. No, seriously.

• And I really don't know how to set this up other than to say it's a preview for a post-apocalyptic horror musical about organ harvesting starring Anthony Stewart Head from Buffy, one of the Spy Kids, Sarah Brightman, and Paris Hilton. Ladies and gentlemen ... Repo! The Genetic Opera!

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

The men of Russian retailer IV Legion's new campaign!
