AfterElton Briefs: Orson Scott Card rears his ugly head again, Robert Gant trips the light, and more!

(Photo credit: Linda Lenzi/Broadway World).

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.

  • Big congrats to out Broadway Hunk-a-Dunk Nick Adams, who made his solo cabaret debut at Birdland in NYC on Monday night. Broadwayworld.com has tons of backstage photos of Nick and friends.
  • AMC's Mad Men scored big ratings with its season premiere, and also a complaint from the Parents Television Council, prompting one writer to wonder if it has something to do with the "big old gay kiss, between two gay men, kissing gayly in the gay manner?"
  • Gaygamer.net has an interesting post about the new video game The Shadow Complex, and whether the involvement of asshat homophobe Orson Scott Card in the creation of the game should make gay gamers think twice about purchasing it.
  • The U.S. Hispanic Contractor's Association has pulled a video from its website after receiving complaints that it was offensive and demeaning to the gay community.
  • Via Out.com comes the video below which features out Dancing With The Stars judge Bruno Tonioli teaching out actor Robert Gant how to dance "The Jive".

  • You may have heard that pop songstress Celine Dion is pregnant again, but according to the Weekly World News (the only news source we trust), the child may be able to hit notes no earthling has ever attempted.

"I'm everything I am ... because your father's alien seed was implanted inside me"

  • P.S. I love Celine but I couldn't pass this up, especially the way they photoshopped out the Anne Geddes baby and replaced it with the alien baby. Too funny.
  • Finally, this article on The West Hollywood International Film Festival may provide a template ... on how not to run an international film festival.

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

This guy!

    Please!

    O.K. Watched the U.S. Hispanic Contractor's Association video and as a latin gay male I found that not at all offensive.  It was funny.  It was light and humorous.  People are getting too too sensitive.

    Lol, usually it´s me saying

    Lol, usually it´s me saying something like this. However, I thought it was slightly ignorant, because yet again the only way to do an impression of a gay man is to do it with a limp. Not cool.

    On a side note, I was so proud that I could understand what the guy was saying in Spanish...I think I´m ready for my year abroad in Spain now! :D

    DWTS?

    So is Robert Grant going to be on DTWS?  I haven't found any reports about the new season's cast, but if he is that would be very cool!

    Batboy!

    Is nice to see Batboys, literally, ugly head pop up from time to time.

    Paul Rodriguez is usually a funny guy, but sometimes he walks a thin line. I dont think I would call this video exactly offensive, but it does demostrate the difference between having a laugh with you or at you, this is having a laugh at the expence of gay people. They were right to call them on it.

    About Orson Scott Card, they should definitely think twice. Ive been kind of torn about this because Ive read the first 3 books in the Enders Saga and boy does the man can write good Sci Fi, but since Ive found the homophobe that he is I just decided to not spend a single cent in anything he is involved with. To be honest, Ive been debating with myself whether to borrow a friends copies for the rest, the stuff is that good, but Im determined to not spend any money on any person or company that supports not giving us equal rights or talks trash about just being gay.   

    On to the delectable Mr. Stefano, if only the briefs fetishist would not get their drawers in a bunch about the briefs guy, we might have seen the more ...interesting shots of that photoshoot. Sigh.

    Ok..

    That Robert Gant clip was,clearly,one of the gayest,best things EVER!

     i couldn't tell what he enjoyed more:The instruction or the instructor. :)

    Why isn't he doing DWTS instead of Donny Osmond(can't wait to see HIM faint)or Tom godamn Delay?

    Show and Tell Dance Series

    Big ole Robert Gant (who was very light on his feet) and that Adorable tiny dance instructor equals MADE OF WIN!!    That spooning while kicking looked dangerously good.

    Can he teach Robert or Chad (or some other hunky man) a new dance every week?

    We can jive and samba at our wedding all night long! And if Nick (who'll be singning at our reception) wants to join us for a little dancing, well...
