AfterElton Briefs: ESPN responds to our Brad Gilbert post, A "Sex and The City" 80's flashback, and more!

Kim Catrall filming a scene from the upcoming Sex and The City sequel

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.

• I have to admit to not being a huge fan of the first Sex and The City movie (two and a half hours, and the biggest laugh is Charlotte's explosive diarrhea?), and the possible spoilers about the sequel that are leaking out leave me scratching my head. Those two characters? On the plus side they appear to be filming flashbacks to the 80's for each character, and above you can see Samantha (Kim Catrall) channeling her inner Dale Bozzio (my undying love to whoever gets that reference).

• With the premiere of The CW's The Vampire Diaries tomorrow, out show creator Kevin Williamson chats about the inevitable comparisons to Twilight.

• CNN interviewed Kathy Griffin last night about Official Book Club Selection, and she talked about her family (including some surprising revelations about her late brother), and her own botched liposuction.

Congrats to Jim Verraros and Bill Brennan!

• Big congratulations to American Idol Season One contestant Jim Verraros, who tied the knot with fiance Bill Brennan last weekend. You can see more of the touching wedding photos here.

• Director Kevin Smith has revealed that his upcoming horror film Red State has a monstrous villain inspired by ... Fred Phelps.

• Finally, remember last week when we commented on Brad Gilbert and his "fruity-looking" remark? ESPN has responded, and sent us this e-mail: "ESPN is a company that places a high value on diversity and we apologize for the inadvertent slight in Brad Gilbert's commentary. The issue has been addressed with him, and while he meant no reference to sexual orientation, he understands he should have chosen his words better."

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