AfterElton Briefs: Madonna's bro spills the beans, and more!

Gay-fave Julie Brown brings the "camp" to the premiere of Camp Rock

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.

• You know, it's been faaaaar too long since we checked in with Cute with Chris, the utterly gonzo kittens-and-masochism pie hosted by Chris Leavins (star of the fantastic The Hanging Garden). In recent months Chris hasbeen posting viewer-submitted pics of shirtless men (some with pets, some without), which lends another wonderfully troubling dimension to what is still the most addictive show on the Interwebs.

• Oh, brother: Madonna's gay sibling Christopher Ciccone to write a scathing tell-all about his famous sister. I don't know what's more confusing, the idea that one bitter sibling would do that to another, or the suggestion that there's anything left to tell about the most overexposed person in the history of the universe.

John and Colin from NewNowNext

• Our brother site NewNowNext has been nominated for an HX Award (HX is an NYC gay nightlife mag) and you should totally vote for them. Yay John, Colin, and crew!

• Time has an interesting article about the positive economic impact the gay marriage window (pre-November, when things might change) will have on California, and does everything but urge gay couples from other states to go to Palm Springs, get married, and after their honeymoons, sue for recognition in their home state. Book it!

Ryan Reynolds and Scott Thompson at the Genie Awards a few years back

• Happy birthday to Scott Thompson! The Kids in the Hall star turns 49 today. I wonder if fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds will give him another kiss on the occasion?

• Reality show laughingstock and pig vagina gourmet Tila Tequila credits herself for the overturn of the same-sex marriage ban in California. I credit her for the overturn of my breakfast.

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

Eye-talian model Fernando Bombatti!
