Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone at The Cinema Society and Details screening of Milk (GETTY)
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.
- Last night in NYC Details Magazine and The Cinema Society held a screening of Milk which brought out the film's stars Sean Penn, James Franco and Josh Brolin, as well as out director Gus Van Sant. Also walking the red carpet were fashion god Marc Jacobs and his Brazilian boyfriend Lorenzo Martone, who obviously have been too busy admiring each other's hotness to shave. Not that I mind.
- Speaking of hotness, People magazine has released their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue and once again there are apparently no sexy gay men in the world (or at least not in the top 15 who are profiled). To see actual sexy men, including gay ones, check out the AfterElton.com Hot 100!
- Fans of America's Next Top Model may be in for a treat if the CW network picks up the new show Operation Fabulous. It would follow Top Model "coaches" Jay Manuel and J. Alexander as they "ride into small towns across the country to advise everyday girls on how to work it in the real world."
We can add Batboy to our list of allies
- Supporters of Prop 8 must be shaking in their boots today as it was revealed that Batboy has been protesting to help overturn the measure. You rock, Batboy!
- And in serious Breaking News about Prop 8, word is that the California Supreme Court will hear several legal challenges to the state's same-sex marriage ban, but will not allow any new gay marriages until it rules on the measure's validity. Well, the first hurdle has been cleared, but there's still a long way to go.
- Finally, the latest celebrity to speak out about Prop 8 is Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who tells Huffington Post "eventually the American public will figure out that it really isn't right to deny citizens basic civil human rights. And we can no longer allow that to happen."

La Spacey says No to Prop 8?
Will wonders never cease!
Can someone enlighten me?
Ditto!
Short answer: It can't
Fact is, it can't really be altered so easily. The initiative process only allows minor changes to the constitution with majority vote; major changes require first the review and 2/3 approval of the state legislature before it can even make it onto the ballot.
Now, Prop 8 never went through this legistlative review process, and that's the major basis for the suits now going before the Supreme Court--the argument of course being that denying a group of citizens their rights constitutes a major revision of the state constitution, and therefore cannot be made valid by a simple voter majority.
That Batboy!
Kevin Spacey aka Mr. Denial
Really, when is he going to deal with his sexuality? Maybe he wants to get married.
