AfterElton Briefs: "A Single Man" Gets De-Gayed, Hot Shirtless Boy Bands, "South Park", and more.

People are talking about precisely who Colin Firth wants to be in bed with.

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear. Yes, we're serious.

• Above, you can see the one sheet for Tom Ford's A Single Man, which more than one blog is crying about the marketing being de-gayed. And not just gay blogs, because indieWIRE says the new trailer has also been de-gayed.

• It's not fresh news right now, but I'd like to thank reader Darrien for pointing out that Jan Moir was named Bigot Of the Year  by Stonewall in the U.K. after a last minute nomination for her hateful articles about Boyzone singer Stephen Gately.

• Adam Lambert was profiled by the L.A. Times yesterday and says he's more interested in being Beyonce than Daughtry. There are a stack of really good, funny jokes I want to make here, that are all in fun, but I'm afraid. I'm very afraid.

• Over at Rod 2.0, there's a profile of the very sexy "documentary" about British boy band JLS. I don't know JLS's music, but I like the pictures (the teaser is from the show).

• Kansas City Chiefs Larry Johnson has had a very stressful weekend. First he missed a game due to suspension for using a gay slur. Then he heard that the NFL didn't think he should have been suspended. Then fans turned on him and wanted the team to dump him. Then today, the team dumped him. Don't let the lockerroom door hit you in the ass on the way out.

• From Friday's Joy Behar Show, above, Kathy Griffin chats about Levi Johnston's johnson, which she says will require a "very large fig leaf" if he wants to cover up. Is anyone else over the hype, and just want to see how the boy measures up? Or if you don't care about that, how about just being curious if Sarah Palin's head explodes?

• If you're in San Francisco, November 12th there's a screening at Frameline for The Butch Factor, a movie about the complex relationship between gay men and masculinity. It's the last scheduled screening until it releases on DVD next year.

• November 9th, 1985 was the date that Terry Sweeney, the first openly gay member of Saturday Night Live, joined the cast.

• Our bigger, older, richer Viacom uncle, Comedy Central, released a comment about "The F Word" episode of South Park we had a discussion about. The statement, in full:

“South Park” is famous for tackling controversial subject matter in thoughtful and hilarious ways. This particular episode of the show has been both criticized and applauded within the gay and lesbian community. With all of that in mind, we will let this “South Park” episode speak for itself.

• Happy belated 50th birthday to Chi Chi La Rue. Thanks for all the safer sex education, and the, um, films.

• The Out 100 continue to trickle ahead of the release. Precious director Lee Daniels is going to be among those honored. That's nice, but I'm sure the fact his film set records over the weekend was a thrill, too.

• Next gay marriage fight? New York is either going to happen, or not, this week. The battleground is New Jersey, where National Organization for Marriage has their offices. Want to understand where your state rights are? Wall Street Journal has an unforunately red, interactive map.

• Portugal, a nation with what could be called an overwhelming Catholic population, is set to legalize same-sex marriage. Now why can't the Catholics in the United States show the love?

• The folks over at Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters have compiled a list of the Top 10 anti-gay statements.

• Remember me saying I was scared to make a joke about Adam Lambert? Well, at TVBytheNumbers, a staffer put up a short piece about why she doesn't like Glee. What's the fanboy version of a fatwa?

• Finally, because I don't think any of you can find me, enjoy this Glee parody called Cheap I found via The Bilerico Project. Yes, the integrated advertisement for A Christmas Carol is a bit much, but I thought it was worth it.
