Zac Posen at the 2009 Fashion Scholarship Dinner in NYC (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.
- Out designer Zac Posen showed up at the Geoffrey Keene Fashion Scholarship Dinner last night, and tonight he'll also make an appearance on a brand new Ugly Betty. It takes a special man to pull off wearing a beret, but Zac rocks the hell out of it.
- Variety asked ten top industry people to name the best films of 2008, and out producer/director Paris Barclay chose that other Brad Pitt movie.
- Milk keeps racking up the awards and noms. Today it received a Directors Guild Award nomination for out Gus Van Sant. This bodes very well for Gus's chances when the Oscar nominations are announced on January 22nd.
- Above you can see Kathy Griffin being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel about the New Year's Eve "incident" with Anderson Cooper. She insists she didn't know her mic was on when she had some ... colorful ... comments for a few hecklers.
- Out rock legend Bob Mould is teaming up with author Michael Azzerad to write Bob's autobiography. In addition to leading the influential alt bands Husker Du and Sugar, Bob also spent time as a scriptwriter for World Championship Wrestling. Seriously.
- Gawker has a clip from yesterday's Oprah Winfrey Show in which the daytime diva looks fairly stunned when a minister tells a guest that being gay is "a gift from God".
And today's Briefs are brought to you by...
This guy!

Did I miss it?
I watched the Oprah clip twice, and didn't really notice her reaction. I could tell she was surprised to hear a minister say that, but I didn't notice the type of reaction I think Gawker did. Maybe I missed it?
Kathy Griffin's comeback to the heckler was hysterical! I'm glad her mic was still on, accident or not!
How pathetic you are to post an underwear model
Wow man, lighten up!
It's news in brief, so they show a man in briefs. It's kitchy & fun and what they do, no need to get personal about it.
And, no offense to Snicks or Afterelton, but "showing everyone in the world"?? That's a bit of a stretch.....
Briefs
Show us what you got by posing in your undies, Brian
Since you think it's so damn important to pose an underwear model in all of your blogs, let's see you in yours.
And if I could, I'd send you a picture of me in my underwear, which I'm sure you wouldn't publish since I constantly look pregnant. If I was computer savvy, I would indeed do that.
Tell you what. My phone number is **********. If you're in the Dallas area and want to post my picture on your blog, come to Plano and take a picture of me.
Richard, feel free to post your opinion but please do it
Brian in his undies
Why ya gotta kill his only good request?? :)

Jamie, I'm tired of all of the skin here
Can you do it anyway?
Why wait?
You/ve heard of google, right?
If that's what you're looking for, have at it. But, if you aren't going to talk about men, gourmet food, wines, sex, fashion, movies (I'll include the politics, tv, music, books, etc. that you failed to mention), what are you going to talk about on this wonderful sexless homesexual site? Knitting?
I don't agree with everything I read on this site, nor everyone that posts, but how boring would it be if I did?
Make it happen
First, Mr Ashcraft if you want a site that has "regular joe homosexuals and not the stereotypical gays obsessed with gourmet food, wines, sex, fashion, and the latest movie that simply must be seen" create it yourself.
Second AfterElton does showcase "regular joe" homosexuals and gay people of many walks of life are discussed and encouraged to participate here. This may be the most diverse gay site on the internet. I challenge you to to find another with a more diverse membership.
Third this is a site who's purpose is clearly about gays in the media, as such that includes topics like food, wine, sex and fashion and of course T.V and Movies. This is not a news outlet like Newsweek, CNN or Sports Illustrated (nothing more "regular joe" than SI). All of which, by the way, are not above showing a little T & A now and then. Your criticism would hold more water if you were talking about a news outlet like The Advocate or even 365Gay.com.
Fourth, AfterElton should be commended for tackling such subjects as the media coverage afforded to Matthew Mitcham.
Your beef is without merit. This is a site that allows fluffy content as well as thought provoking. It is a site with snark and innuendo as well as shaking fists. I am sorry you haven't been able to see that. Because once you discover that here, I think you'll enjoy AfterElton for what it is and not fret as much about what it isn't.
Okay, Brian, you are an insult to homosexuals everywhere
Never understood why virtually all gay websites and blogs insist on showing nearly nude men. Lord, am I the only homosexual man who can keep it in his pants and not go into heat every second of the day.
If you are truly brave, Brian, let's see YOU in a pair of briefs. And if you are truly foolhardy, let's see ME in a pair of briefs, lol.
Seriously though, show us what YOU got since you think it is so damn important to your blog. Or do you think your blog isn't good enough to rate attention without showing some skin?
Pants?
Lord, am I the only homosexual man who can keep it in his pants
Says the person with the User ID Pisces Nudist
Waiting for the website I described, GayTVluver
Here you go, try these:
www.ImNotOneOfThoseTypeOfGayMen.com
www.UptightGayAssholes.com
www.GaysWithNoSenseOfHumor.com
www.GayDarkCloud.com
www.GaysWhoHateThemselves.com
www.IWreakOfUnhappiness.com (that one really isn't gay, but it seems fitting)
Buh Bye now.
There you have it
JUST GO!
Does that mean...
I forgot my gratuitous beefcake pics..
Here, Richard. A hunk in undies for each of my posts above.
kinda thought that was satire
but realize now it wasn't. I'm so happy that the breifs are back after the holiday hiatus and now I am having the best gay week ever, etc.
I have one thing that I do agree with Mr
AshcorftAshcraft about and that would be to have pictures of Brian in briefs... or any or all of the editors/writers. I love this site and posters with or without their briefs. I'm wearing briefs as I write this.Wow, someone...
...had vodka for breakfast.
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
Hmmm Ashcraft/Ashcroft. I smell a conspiracy!
This person....
Is probably,in reality,a stereotypical man-hating,self-hating [person] who has no life of his/her own and likes to waste other peoples' time by posting stupid comments to waive off thier boredom.
Be Gone! You have no powers HERE!
Post deleted.
internets!
Ok first off, what's up with the butthurt Richard guy posting here? You need to lurk moar. kthx
My respect for Kathy has suddenly gone WAY up. Not because she's a loudmouth (which I also respect as a fellow loudmouth- I carry a megaphone in my car) but because she pluralizes the internet!! Anyone who's on board with that is tops in my book!
