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

AfterElton Briefs: "10,000 B.C.", a "Project Runway" quiz, wacky fundies, and more!

Out director Roland Emmerich poses with his 10,000 BC star Steven Strait and a marzipan sculpture of Camilla Belle at the German premiere

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.

  • Here's a neat interview with gay A Raisin in the Sun producer Craig Zadan about lesbian playwright Lorraine Hansberry and the play's gay subtext. I wonder if Jerri Blank was hip to the gay themes when she appeared in Flatpoint High's production on Strangers With Candy? "Line! .... Line!"
  • Bravo has a wonderful "Which (Likely Gay) Designsketeer Are YOU?" quiz over at the Project Runway site. The good news is, it's fun. The bad news is, I'm Voldemort!! (Okay, okay, Steven's perfectly wonderful. But who doesn't want to be Chris March?!)
  • Little ink-marks, big change: The notoriously conservative Washington Times has officially updated its style guidelines to remove the quotation marks around "gay marriage" and now prefers "gay" over "homosexual" except when used as a clinical reference. How "progressive"!
  • He's Just Wild About Harry: Daniel Radcliffe gets a big, lingering smooch from host James Corden at a theatre awards ceremony in London. Both the crowd response and Radcliffe's reaction are quite cute.

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

DNA model Danny Thorn!

    Radcliffe is a class act.

    Radcliffe is a class act. He's not just a bit of pretty fluff like say... Zac Efron, who (in my ideal fantasy world) I'd be happy to have sex with, and then keep him in a glass cage the rest of the day so he can sit still and look pretty. Radcliffe would be fun to hang out with and speak to like another human being. I still can't believe he performed in Equus, and not because of the nudity but because that play is just deeply twisted on all its levels.

    Radcliffe rocks

    You are so right about him being more than a pretty face- he's got enough money to never do anything again, but he's shown that he is genuinely interested in acting, and Equus [which was freaking amazing btw] showed that he can actually act, something that the HP movies never really seem to care about that much. He's also quite clever and well read as well as down to earth and a patron of a children's charity. An all round lovely person as well as a cutie.

    Welcome Back Jacob

    that comment about Zac Efron had me laughing out loud.  Very Kathy Bates of you ("Misery").  Danny Radcliffe is a good actor and cute as well, straight perhaps?

    Cheers

    100 Best Fundamentalist Christian Quotes

    These quotes were both maddening and hilarious at the same time.  I just wish my Dad the atheist was around to read them, he probably would have been in tears with laughter.  If this is any indication of the education system in the USA then I think you should be asking for a rebate on your taxes!

    Cheers
