AfterElton Briefs: Timberlake tops, MacFarlane reviewed, backstage at "Drag Race," and more!

Fashionistas Justin Timberlake (left) and Joey Fatone
Following this 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.
- Justin Timberlake came out on top of GQ's annual list of "Most Stylish Men." Oh really? Not to diss the ever adorable JT, but he's never rocked a Nagel print t-shirt like former N'Sync bandmate Joey Fatone!

Jeremy Gabriel and Luke Macfarlane in The Jazz Age
- Today's Variety reviews The Jazz Age, the one act play starring out actor and AfterElton.com fave Luke Maccarlane as F. Scott Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, the entertainment trade mag was not much impressed:
Luke Macfarlane's Fitzgerald is given one note to play, as the character himself confesses: "I'm needy. I'm effeminate." The actor totters and smiles through his tears, but neither the chemistry with his libidinous flapper spouse nor his descent into alcoholism is rendered credible. Nor has [Playwright] Knee provided him with the verbal eloquence to suggest this fellow could produce a Fitzgerald short story, let alone "The Great Gatsby."
Ouch! At least most of the reviewer's ire is directed at the playwright and not at Macfarlane.
- We recapped last night's episode of Ru Paul's Drag Race earlier today, but for fans of the show the fun is far from over! Go "under the hood" with special backstage footage in the clip below. Witness contestant Nina Flowers' embarrassed backstage reaction to asking Tori Spelling if she has HIV! Catch Shannel's catty comments on Bebe's drag look. Finally, enjoy an extended sob-filled interview with eliminated contestant Acacia. Is it just me, or do drag queens make the best reality show contestants ever?
- Donald Trump's casino business has hit the skids. Trump Entertainment Resorts, of which Trump owns 28%, has just filed for bankruptcy after missing a $53 million interest payment on its $1.7 billion debt. But that's not all the Trumpmeister owes. I don't know about you, but I want the hours I spent watching Celebrity Apprentice back.
- A California college student is suing his school and his professor for violating his right to free speech. The lawsuit alleges the student was speaking in class and using bible scripture to argue against gay marriage when his teacher cut him off, called him a "fascist bastard," and told the rest of the class they could leave if the hate speech offended them. Sounds like the professor might have overreacted a bit. He could not be reached for comment. The fascist bastard plaintiff however has issued a press statement: "Homosexuals are ruining...." Er, sorry, looks like he was cut off again.
