AfterElton Briefs: Todd Holland clarifies, Matthew Mitcham misses and more!

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.

  • After first likening blogs to "cockroaches", director Todd Holland clarified his remarks about gay actors staying in the closet. Since no one has posted a transcript from the Outfest panel, it's hard to know how much is clarification vs obfuscation, but those in attendance at the panel including director Kirby Dick found Holland's comments "regressive." Of course, perhaps Dick is also a cockroach.
  • Director Don Roos (Happy Endings,The Opposite of Sex) also spoke out on the issue at Outfest saying he prefers more mystery about his actors and that:
I have a deep respect for homophobia [in American society] and I don’t think it will ever go away. I don’t think actors coming out is going to help end homophobia. I think doctors, teachers and lawyers coming out will end homophobia.

It's not like actors reach millions of Americans or anything. Roos also says homophobia makes us more interesting. Personally, I vote for less interesting, more rights. 

Is that my medal I see down there? Oh, crikey...

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

This guy!
