AfterElton Briefs: More "Chuck & Larry" fallout, new "Charlie & Marcus" dish, and more!

Gay fashionista Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) crashes the Agatha Ruiz De La Prada show in Milan

Following this 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.

• Our friend and colleague John Polly tipped us off to a gaytastic, star-studded charity event coming up in NYC next week that will feature the likes of Sandra Bernhard, Alan Cumming, Justin Bond, Carson Kressley, and many more. The Place at the Table cocktail soiree benefits the Ali Forney Center, an outreach for homeless queer youth, and you should totally learn more about it over here.

• Looks like Chuck & Larry may have damaged more than just the reputation of American buddy comedies ... the movie has been used by opponents of same-sex spousal benefits as an example of how such benefits could be abused. Not funny.

Charlie and Marcus get their Gabon

• As though the budding bromance between gay Charlie and straight Marcus weren't enough to put Survivor: Gabon on our RADAR, Marcus has to go and flash his pink bits on primetime?! Warning, slowed-down peek-a-boo footage after the link NSFW.

• Human hair and screenprint dresses? Chris March should sue for copyright infringement (emphasis on the "fringe").

• Above, from our news sib 365Gay: A transgender woman is named the second most beautiful woman in New York by a mainstream publication.

• For the first time ever, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which generates up to $30 million a year for the city and state, will receive government funding. Great news for what is for my money the best gay party ever.

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