AfterElton Briefs: Neil welcomes back Britney with open arms, Clive Barker's dark arts, and more!

Moonlight's totally not-gay vampires (Jason Dohring and Alex O'Laughlin)

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.

• We've been mooning over Moonlight as of late (sexy men biting each other ... what's not to like?!), and it looks like they're on to us. In the recent "Beautiful People You're Not" issue of TV Guide, lead Alex O'Loughlin's co-star Sophia Myles notes, "The young girls love him, the older ladies love him, and the gay guys love him." So ... work well done, men.

• Moviefone is is running a feature on the 25 Sexiest Movie Couples, and were considerate enough to include two same-sex pairings in the bunch. (The Brokeback Mountain fellas are #13, and the ladies from Mulholland Drive make a much-deserved appearance as well.)

• Hey Clive Barker fans: if you're in or around NYC, the Sloan Gallery will be showing some of his latest artwork (including conceptual artwork from the upcoming Midnight Meat Train movie) for another week. Check it out!

• Maybe Neil Patrick Harris should never have clarified those misinterpreted anti-Britney remarks after all ... no good deed goes unpunished, Neil!

• Gay geek alert! Renowned out comics artist Phil Jimenez was at the recent NY Comic Con and this site has a lengthy interview with him regarding what he's up to.

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

Fitness model Matt Perella!
