News, Reviews & Commentary on Gay and Bisexual Men in Entertainment and the Media

AfterElton Briefs: "Ugly Betty" wins us over (again) with their new online video, a "Shelter" vet lands his next gig, and more!


Shelter star Trevor Wright (the gay surfing movie is currently available On Demand on here!)

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.

  • Attention Shelter-lovers! Cutiepie lead actor Trevor Wright has been cast as the lead in thriller Vacancy 2. I'm thinking it will be kind of like Vacancy 1, only with cheaper actors. (Sorry, but Trevor ain't Luke Wilson!)
  • Canadian ultimate fighter Kalib Starnes lost badly to competitor Nate Quarry over the weekend, and stooped to calling him a "faggot" after the fight was over, which of course aired nationally and is now preserved online (warning, several uses of the "other F word" also featured) for perpetuity. In case you're keeping score, the guy who WON is the "faggot". (t/y Stephanie for the tip!)
  • Last week we applauded Melbourne television anchor Peter Hitchener for choosing to come out as a gay man for no apparent reason. Well, now it's being alleged that he was blackmailed into coming out by the paper that nabbed the "exclusive". We still applaud Hitchener. The Sunday Herald Sun? Not so much.
Ugly Betty's fab three (Becki Newton, Michael Urie, David Blue)

  • The first Official Ugly Betty Podcast (vlog, dahlings - podcast is SO 2006...) is pretty much the awesomest thing I've seen all month, thanks mostly to the Continued Genius of Becki Newton and the moment where Michael Urie squeezes David Blue's moob.

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

Israeli model Judah Gavra!

    Ugly Betty Podcast

    This episode isn't the first per se.  11 audio only podcasts were released between September and January.  This is the first video version, and I'm sure that I am not alone in excitement that my rarely updated Ugly Betty feed now has a first (of hopefully many more!) video.

    Shelter not on TW Cable in L.A.?

    Anyone else not able to get 'Shelter' through Time Warner Cable in the L.A. area?  I subscribed to Here! on Friday, specifically to see this movie.  Yet, it hasn't appeared yet in my HereTV listings.   Called TW up, and they told me that Here hasn't scheduled it with them yet, or something like that.  Very frustrating.  I'm actually in touch with Here directly now, and they're trying to get some answers.  They definitely don't want to miss out on the L.A. market with their big April movie.

    So, anyone else having problems seeing Shelter in L.A.?  If you are in L.A., does Shelter come on your TW Cable menu?  Is it just me?  Help?
