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.
- Jiminy Glick (a fat-suited and sibilant Martin Short, natch) interviews self-professed "filth elder" John Waters at the Independent Spirit Awards. I want one of each just to keep in the pantry for rainy days.
- Defamer has some fun pics of Sir Elton John's Oscar bash, which was one of the biggest parties in town this year. Those gays and their fetes!
- Okay, so this may or may not be American Idol contestant David Hernandez working at a gay bar in Phoenix. But any barfly worth his margarita salt knows that half of the men who work at gay bars aren't gay, they're "just experimenting with getting better tips". (t/y PBuG for the tip!)
Aaron Sidwell as Steven Beale
- EastEnders actor Aaron Sidwell may be on his way out, but his character, Steven Beale, can add "bisexual" to his profile (along with "mentally ill" and "matricidal gun enthusiast") before his "big bang" of an exit.
- I mentioned the benefit that the Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice stars are holding for their crews to offset the wages lost during the writers' strike, but I didn't realize that T.R. Knight was actually one of the forces behind it.
Ric Weiland (L) and Bill Gates
- You may have heard that Microsoft vet Ric Weiland (he was one of the first 5 employees) bequeathed a tremendous private donation to gay groups - $65 million - following his tragic suicide. But did you also know that he had been out for decades (he sported a license plate reading "YES IAM" in 1977!!) and was a total hottie back in the day?
And today's Briefs are brought to you by...
Hugh Jackman!

oh dear...
what was ellen thinking with her outfit? way too.....silvery and shiny and yeah...wonder if she picked it out or someone else did. :-/
Danny Hernandez
Living in Phoenix, I've been to Burn a few times when it was open. Can't say that I noticed him working there, but most of the Bartenders and waiters worked with their shirts off. And they did have go-go boys dancing on platforms, but (to my knowledge) never nude.
As for his potentially working at Dick's Caberet (the only fully nude male revue in Phoenix), I have no idea. I've never been to that one...
Though, it would not surprise me
It's a shame the folks over
It's a shame the folks over at VFTW are spending all their time outing poor David. When will people understand that this competition is about singing and not about what a person likes to do in his bedroom? Seriously, I dont think this is that big of a deal and I hope the mainstream media doesn't pick on this. David should be judged on his voice alone and I think he's got an amazing one.
Btw, to the folks who are wondering whether David is gay or not...yes, he is gay. He used to date one of my guy friends in Phoenix some years back and he's also buddies with my boyfriend.
HUGH!! :D
Sorry that I forgot to comment on that picture of Hugh Jackman. The man is SEX!!!
:D
They're going to get David kicked off...
Forget DH
How can you not love Ric Weiland and Bill Gates' wide, wide ties. They were out even back in the late 70s. Those ties maybe the the Rosetta stone of late Twentieth Century, post-prep, Nerdism.
