AfterElton Briefs: "DWtS" Boyfriends, Dustin Lance Black, Adam Lambert, Elton John's Virginity, and more

Adam Lambert's media assault on the world begins.

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.

• Above, you can see a picture from the Adam Lambert Details cover story that's causing the gay blogosphere to explode because he posed with a naked woman. Oh, and if you haven't read his brother's blog that he mentions in the video we posted, it's hysterical.

• Writing letters to your 16-year-old self seems to be a "thing" in the United Kingdom. Elton John's tells his younger self to have lots of sex, and not wait until age 23 to do it.

• On Sunday we reported Irish hurler Dónal Óg Cusack had come out with the full support of his team. The fans, evidently, not so much.

• We talked about how low-key Jonathan Groff's coming out was last night. Well, Dancing With the Stars Louis Van Amstel brought his boyfriend to Chelsea Lately, and they're both just so adorable I can't stand it. Watch below:

• Will Young becomes guest editor for Attitude magazine's November edition.

• Will Dustin Lance Black's 8: The Mormon Proposition documentary expose the Church of Latter Day Saints involvement? With so many heavy hitters involved, it can't be ignored. Watch the trailer:

• Sir Ian McKellen is an evil Number Two in the AMC remake of The Prisoner debuting next month. There's a new, shorter trailer over at io9, and we've got the Comic-Con extended trailer below.

• O.K., the only "gay male entertainment" about it is her fight with he-who-shall-not-be-named, but I think it's hysterical Miss California USA wants their boobs back from Carrie Prejean.

• Despite it being debunked by Gossip Cop days ago, the National Enquirer fake news about Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest having to tone down the "gay baiting" on American Idol due to Ellen DeGeneres continues to be picked up. Don't worry, they'll be as adolescent as ever.

• It was just announced that the out Adam Shankman, of So You Think You Can Dance and Hairspray fame, will be producing the 82nd Annual Academy Awards with former Fox Chairman Bill Mechanic.
