Congrats to Lorenzo Martone and fashion guru Marc Jacobs, who will wed this weekend in Provincetown, Mass.

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.

• Ugly Betty news: gay reporter sprite Michael Ausiello has confirmed that Paula Abdul will not be joining the cast in the recurring role of office temp Helen, and has been replaced by Kristen Johnston (who last we saw was in that ill-advised, and now dead and buried AbFab remake). Also, producers are looking to cast an actor to play Hilda (Ana Ortiz)'s new boyfriend ... who apparently may have mob connections.

• Brothers & Sisters news: Mr. Ausiello is also reporting that on the September 27th season premiere, a member of the Walker clan will receive devastating medical news! Oh please let it be something terminal. Except if it's Kevin ... because then we might actually get to see Scotty.

• Kathy Griffin has revealed that both Justin Timberlake and Billy Joel are big party poopers.

• Above you can see the latest edition of Bryan Safi's "That's Gay" series. In this clip he takes on a tried-and-true sweeps bonanza: the faux lesbian.

• Finally, CBS will be advertising its fall TV season with a video-chip ad embedded in an issue of Entertainment Weekly, and guess who's the star of this technological first?

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

This guy!
