Cheyenne Jackson in The Agony and the Agony

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.

• Anyone want to hear Cheyenne Jackson read aloud from the autobiography of Mr. T, Tommy Lee, or Elizabeth Taylor? He'll be participating in the Celebrity Autobiography series starting January 28th, so you just might have the chance!

• We know you've already sent a mountain of chocolate to CBS in support of As the World Turns' Luke and Noah, but if you have a second it wouldn't hurt to fill out the net's latest soap poll and give a boost to everyone's favorite Alpha Daytime Gay Teen Couple.

• It's been rumored that Morrissey's management has said that they are trying to secure playdates for the crooner in Tehran, where homosexuality is punishable by death. Well then it's a darn good thing he's not gay or anything, huh?

• This is probably the awesomest digital photo craze since StuffonMyCat: Sleevefacing. Someone please break out their Grace Jones vinyl and send us some snaps!! (tip of the bowler to the kids at WorldofWonder for the lead.)

• Brit wit Stephen Fry isn't sure why straight actors are lauded for their bravery when they have on-screen gay kisses when gay actors are expected to kiss women like there's nothing wrong with it, adding, "I'll kiss a frog if you like."

We've replaced the fine gourmet coffee in this guy's cup with Folgers Crystals! Think he'll notice?
