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?

- 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!

I'm so watching that
Where'd you get that picture?
Viva Hollywood
It's not the first reality show to "kill" its eliminated contestants, tho... The Search for the Next Elvira beat them to that title.
Poor John
He's the one taking the Botox, and his older partner is looking so much younger then him. lol
Prettyboy Scott
Botox or not, they're both
John and botox! *faints*
John and botox! *faints*
Does anyone have a left-over amnesia pill lying around? I'd like to wipe this piece of information from my mind.
All this time I was hoping that if anyone in showbiz would be above this, it would be him. Appearently not.
Oh well, at least that vibrant cheerfulness of his isn't artificial (...or is it?). I mean, coffee can't stand for all of that perkiness, can it?

He's 41 years old
You think he looks that good through dumb luck?
As annoying as I find Mr. Barrowman' s candor (bedroom tid bits, poop stories) to be sometimes, as a 40 year old I have to applaud him for owning up to the Boxtox thing as well as advising against doing the forehead.
Don't trouble yourself Doctor -- I'm a celebrity, I'll write my own prescription.
Don't trust The Sun
After some discussion with friends in the UK, I'm a little skeptical of the implication that John has any sort of habit of using Botox. I heard him cohosting a morning radio show with Denise Van Outen last week, and at one point he mentioned having once tried Botox, around his eyes, and deciding it really wasn't for him. He empahisized, however, that he certainly doesn't begrudge anyone else who wants to use it.
Then this week the Sun, "one of our rubbish papers" a friend in Wales stressed, cites an interview in another magazine without putting most of the quotations in quotation marks; the small bit that is actually quoted sounds an awful lot like what JB told Denise last week.
Two years ago, JB insisted he'd never used Botox (on Nevermind the Buzzcocks), and he looked wonderful then. He really is that gorgeous naturally.
