AfterElton Briefs: Tim hearts Anthony, Judas Priest hearts its gay fans, and more!

Anthony and Tim, now with less of the girl in the middle

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.

• Utterly adorable Australian actor Tim Campbell has confirmed that he and utterly adorable Australian Idol Anthony Callea are indeed an item. Utterly adorable joint kitten adoption/civil ceremony/tandem memoir to follow.

• Out Judas Priest frontman Rob Halpert is encouraging his gay metal-head fans to come out, rock harder.

• Send your own gay Ugly Betty valentine! Because nothing says "I'll Love You Forever" than calling someone "sweet cheeks".

• This underwhelming Valentine's-related gallery of kissing celebrities features a ton of straight couples smooching but not a single man-man romantic kiss, unless you count noted heterosexual kissing straight-as-nails Billy Crystal. Sigh.

• Rent, the Broadway juggernaut slated to close this summer, opened 16 years ago today.

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

Some hot guy!
