Neil Patrick Harris and Tippi Hedren at the unveiling of Harry Houdini's refurbished star last Friday

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.

  • Dr. Horrible, meet Wally Wellesley: Neil Patrick Harris (a gay man nominated for an Emmy for playing a straight man) will voice the villain in the upcoming Eat Lead video game, opposite Will Arnett (a straight man nominated for an Emmy for playing a gay man) as action hero Matt Hazard.
    • A 60-year-old San Francisco streetcar that appeared in Milk will be dedicated to slain politician Harvey Milk tomorrow, the day that the film's premiere is held in the city.

    • Out actor/director Tom Hulce (Amadeus, Animal House) was recently interviewed about his theatre work (including producing smash hit Spring Awakening) and shot down the IMDB rumors that he was married and had a child, noting that "there are a lot of falsehoods" on the Internet.
    • The lineup for Lincoln Center's 2009 American Songbook series has been announced, with out stars Paulo Szot, David Hyde Pierce and Alan Cumming among the performers. (Pierce's concert, a tribute to Cole Porter, sounds particularly exciting.)

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

    This guy!

    Tippi looks great as always.

    LOVE "This Guy" and his guy.

    I'm seeing Milk tonight!

    How often do celebrities have to refute rumours that they're straight?

    Please tell me you've seen "Dominick and Eugene"

    One of the best movies ever about a male-male relationship, in this case fraternal twins, played by Hulce and Ray Liotta.  It's not even a remotely "gay" movie, but the bond between the characters and the actors is so palpable, it almost jumps off the screen, truly "a love story between two men."  And oh, the last half hour will have you going through a box of Kleenex--and that's before the last 5 minutes.  Everything that "Rain Man" wanted to be and fell short of, this is.  And aside from "Amadeus" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," this is Hulce's masterpiece.

    "Dominick & Eugene"

    Truly sweet sleeper of a film. In Danny Peary's book Alternate Oscars, he gives Tom Hulce the "Best Actor of 1988" award. There's also fine acting by Ray Liotta as Hulce's brother, Eugene, and Jamie Lee Curtis as Gino's girlfriend.

    Embarrassing confession: even though they play brothers, and Nicky is brain-damaged, I still enjoyed the shower scene. (Yes, I know. Wrong on so many levels. But Ray and Tom were hot.)
