AfterElton Briefs: Neil Patrick Harris as a cop, Big Brother Brasil's bear, and more!

Big Brother bear, Marcelo

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.

  • Neil Patrick Harris appears in this music video for the band Scapegoat Wax, playing a traffic cop who administers a field sobriety test to a puppet. Hey, the guy had to act opposite Denise Richards once, so I'm sure this was old hat for him.
  • Dupont Circle, Washington D.C.'s gay nabe, waves goodbye to its indie movie theatre ... and apparently no one's terribly sad to see it go. Right, because the multiplex at Union Station is just so much more comfortable...
  • Deperate Housewives fan-fave Harriet Harris (she of the false-teeth engagement gift) will star in Cry-Baby as Mrs. Vernon-Williams when it opens on Broadway this spring.

  • Not only doesn't Clay Aiken not want to talk about the notorious "homophobic" Kelly Ripa incident, he doesn't really want to talk to Newsweek at all!
  • If you're looking to bone up on your knowledge of late, great gay British playwright Joe Orton (What the Butler Saw, Loot), there's a spanky new website dedicated to his life and works.
  • A Big Brother Brasil (that's Brazil, you know) contestant has come out as gay, adorable, and ... well, Brazilian. Note: the show's website is best viewed in Google Translator, whose Portuguese is apparently rusty, for such heds as "Marcelo indicates a boyfriend to Thalita."

And today's Briefs are brought to you by... Mexican soap actor Aaron Diaz!

Get thee to the Big Brother Brasil website now

If you follow Brian's Google link, you'll see not only how cute our bear Marcelo is, but then there is Fernando, who along with every single male contestant proves that we have a long way to go in casting and/or that Brazilians are simply on fire. Fernando! Can't CBS just start showing this with translations instead of starting a new cycle or air this on hard to program Saturday nights. Leslie M. can even incorporate the Chenbot into it so she can make a mess there too... I heart Marcello and Fernando.

Marcelo from "Big Brother"

I'm  very glad Marcelo has someone special who fills his heart.  I'd love to volunteer to fill a couple other body parts/cavities for him, however. 

Future epitaph: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

Yeah, Marcelo's really cute, but...

...he's been having some "now-I'm-gay-no-wait-I'm-bi-no-wait-I'm-gay-again" episodes that are kinda annoying me.

 I'm happy to have another gay contestant on Brazil's most-viewed tv show (BB Brazil 5 had a gay winner, Mr. Jean Willis), and a bear to boot, but just yesterday he was going on with the "I don't want to be labelled, I don't wanna raise no flags" talk.

 I mean, bitch, if you're gonna come out on the country's top rating TV show, just own up to it or don't come out at all. Seriously.

 Okay, rant ends. The guy's seriously cute.
