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.

• Out fashion designer Marc Jacobs hit the streets of NYC last night looking like a cross between a Wiggle, a spinster librarian, and Sinead O'Connor. Oh, and leave it to Marc to find a way to turn the necessity of trimming his Fashion Week guest list into a status symbol.

• Freedom To Marry Week is in full swing, as nationwide demonstrations were held today to protest the government's refusal to recognize same-sex marriage. It's not too late to participate, as there are events planned through Sunday.

• After pressure from the Human Rights Campaign, Michigan Television station WOOD-TV has decided to pull a controversial anti-gay special produced by the American Family Association. Titled Speechless: Silencing Christians, the special purported to "reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation and religious freedom." Whatever.

• Well, we warned you about it a few months ago and above you can see the trailer for Oy Vey! My Son is Gay!, starring John Lloyd Young as the son in question, with Lainie Kazan as his mother, Jai Rodriguez as his boyfriend, and somehow ... Carmen Electra as some kind of lure to heterosexuality. It looks like there are going to be exactly zero surprises, but its heart is in the right place.

• And finally out reporter sprite Michael Ausiello has confirmed that Nicollette Sheridan is leaving Desperate Housewives later this season. Actually Michael isn't convinced that her character Edie is leaving, just the actress. Could a re-cast be on the horizon?

• Oh, and this just in ... Michael is also reporting that USA's The Starter Wife has been given the axe. Damn! Now we won't get to see gay character Rodney do nothing of any consequence anymore.

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

This guy!
