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.

• In Touch is reporting that they have exclusive confirmation that gay popster Lance Bass will indeed be Lancing With the Stars this season, as speculated earlier. The net is refusing to confirm until August 25th. Also rumored to be in the new cast: Florence Henderson (settle down, Michael!), Kim Kardashian, Toni Braxton and Dan Marino.

• Here's a fun and politically-charged new interview with local fave Cyndi Lauper, who talks about Bush, her work with the gay community and the fact that when she starts talking she's impossible to shut up.

Happy birthday, Andy

• Today would have been Andy Warhol's 80th birthday. The artist/icon died in 1987 of complications following a gallbladder surgery.

• Hey, everybody! Details just discovered an amazing new phenomenon where guys like both men and women. They don't have a name for it, but let's just call it ... I don't know, "bisexual"? Seriously, most pointless article ever.

Horror hotties in Dave DeCoteau's The Raven

• Gay schlockmeister David DeCoteau (and I say that with much love, trust me) has signed a deal with here! TV and Regent Releasing (its sister company) to make 10 gay-themed horror movies and two series in the next two years. Take a moment to do the math and you'll understand why Dante's Cove isn't more meticulously plotted.

• The California Senate has passed a bill to name May 22nd Harvey Milk Day in honor of the slain civil rights leader. The bill is pending a few tweaks and signoff from the governor. Interesting that not a single Republican voted in support of the bill. Wait, did I say "interesting"? I meant "yawwwwwn".

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

This guy!
