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.

• Esquire has a new interview with George Clooney where he addresses perssitent rumors about his sexuality. Shown an online bulletin board called “George Clooney is GAY GAY GAY,” the star so “No. I’m gay, gay. The third gay - that was pushing it.”

• Brothers & Sisters returns for four new episodes starting April 20th. According to casting sides for the first new episode, "Separation Anxiety," Justin accompanies Rebecca to have a paternity test to determine if Holly's friend David (Ken Olin) is actually her father.

• Ousted American Idol contestant a spokesperson for gay rights? Kady Malloy, eliminated last week, says she never got the judge's criticism that she lacked personality. (Simon Cowell accused her of being robotic.) When asked of her post-Idol plans, she said "I definitely want to open an animal shelter and I'm definitely going to keep working on my music. Eventually, I also want to open up a camp for kids and I definitely want to be a spokesperson for gay rights. My best friend is gay... I just think that you shouldn't define somebody by their sexuality." Funny, this is not the eliminated contestant we thought would be a GLBT spokesperson!

• U.K. Olympic athlete Colin Jackson not bothered by speculation he is gay. Says Jackson, "How does the speculation make me feel? It doesn't make any difference to me. Why should it make a difference to me?".

• Journalist Dennis Hensley asks, "Like, hey, dudes, like where are all the gay surfers?" Perhaps I'm paraphrasing a bit.

• Like most Saturday Night Live sketches, this one goes on too long, but it's still a pretty spot-on depiction of Project Runway's Christian Siriano.
