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.

• AfterElton contributor Michael Portantiere chatted to out actor couple Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who confirm that they will be performing a duet together at Broadway Backwards 3 ... but won't dish on what the song is. (Please say it's "Shipoopi"!)

• Speaking of dreamy gay Broadway and film stars ... Xanadu's Cheyenne Jackson recently did a Q&A for Variety and revealed that he would like to play Rock Hudson in a biopic. Someone get this man a production deal and a pair of high-waisted swim trunks STAT!

• Gay writer/director Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, American Beauty) was at Sundance to screen his new film, Towelhead (formerly Nothing Is Private), along with castmembers, including Peter Macdissi (whom you might recall as Claire's testy art teacher, Olivier).

• As a part of her online Q&A feature, Hillary Clintonspoke about the increased suicide risk for LGBT teenagers, noting, "we've got to do everything we can to send a clear message that we value you." Amen.
