Rufus Wainwright makes the AfterElton.com Hot 100 List!

We're getting agonizingly close to the unveiling of the results of the second annual AfterElton.com Hot 100 poll, and have just a few more sneak peeks with which to tempt your mancandy-hungry tummies.

Today's winner is out singer/songwriter/Judy Garland enthusiast Rufus Wainwright. While the slender Canadian isn't freshly out or new to the scene by any means, this is his first year making the list. We think it may have something to do with his phenomenal 2007 album, Release the Stars, but his pouty good looks may have played a part as well. And who doesn't have a soft spot for a man not afraid to play the talk show circuit in lederhosen?

Enjoy a few more pics of Wainwright after the jump, and be sure to check back Monday for the big reveal of the full AfterElton.com Hot 100 List!
