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

AfterElton Briefs: Vintage Coop, Ben and Dave hit the small screen, and more!


Vintage Coop

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.

  • Think your mother embarrasses you? Well, even internationally-renowned anchors like Anderson Cooper with internationally-renowned fashion designer mothers like Gloria Vanderbilt find themselves blushing from time to time, as in the hilarious clip above.
  • Distribution rights for The Universe of Keith Haring, a documentary on the life and works of the celebrated gay artist, have been picked up. It will be great to see a definitive portrait of the man who created some of the most iconic images in terms of gay political art and AIDS activism.
  • Some Castro businesses have been complaining that the filming of Milk is hurting their business. Valid complaint, or crying over spoolt Milk?
Opie & Anthony Ben & Dave
  • here ! television has announced that their gay podcast The Ben & Dave Show, starring Ben Harvey and Dave Rubin, will make the jump to a television comedy chat show on March 7th.
  • The terrifying, jewel-encrusted host of Millionaire Matchmaker says that next season (if there is one) she'd like to feature a gay millionaire. I think this is the first time in history that I'm actually grateful to be poor.

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

This guy!

    god, why is Anderson so

    god, why is Anderson so damn adorable???
    I love that his mom always shows up on whatever show he's on. (She's been on CNN at least 3 times for his birthday :D)

    That Millionaire Matchmaker is scary & boring. Anderson is funny

    She's reminds me of an overstuffed Punky Brewster without the charm, wit, and apparently success of any of the other ladies and gentlemen profiled on Bravo shows or maybe even Punky herself. The show might be tolerable if that lady's business were taken over by a drag queen with something to say. I'd even settle for Chris from PR with one of those fashionable cat wigs trying to set up people on the street over this broad.

    Hopefully she'll be cancelled before we get to be a chance humiliated in like. Stick to the straights, PLEASE!

    On to other matters.... Loved the Anderson Cooper clip. His dorky laugh is endearing. I would have been hiding under my desk so I give him much credit for beeing such a great sport. I'd never seen the clip before. It was long so I am wondering what format the show that he was hosting had. Anyone care to enlighten this empty mind of mine?

    Andy's such a lovable dork

    After watching this priceless clip (wish we could have seen ALL of the photos his mom brought along), I went searching for other AC clips. His lovable dorky personality hasn't changed from early in his career when he was so skinny that he almost disappeared when he turned sideways. His celebrity Jeopardy appearance demonstrated the range of his personality perfectly, from intense, focused, competitive and cerebral to self-deprecating and self-flagellating when he got something wrong.

    If you want to see more of the young AC photos

    there's another version of this clip on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE5kNocyL_A . It has a couple more of the photos from his young model days at the end. Including a cowboy outfit. I'd love to see him try on the cowboy gear again. :)

    You beat me to the punch on Anderson Cooper

    It's great to see a hunky dork in action, especially one who loves his mom. The laugh said it all!
