AfterElton Briefs: John Barrowman as you've never seen him, a belated hunk-a-dunk-birthday, and more!

Captain Jack IS .... Nomi Malone!

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.

• Yes, that really is John Barrowman above. He's joined the cast of the musical La Cage aux Folles in London's West End, playing drag queen Albin/Zaza.

• In case you were wondering just what the hell the deal is with Maryann on True Blood, star Michelle Forbes spills the spoilery beans. Bottom line? It's pretty much what we thought.

• If you want to see the Tony-winning revival of Hair on Broadway, plan on skipping October 11th, because the entire cast will be in Washington for the National Equality March.

• Above you can see the very cute new ad for Baskit that features guys exchanging undies.

• Moviefone.com has an interview with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who says "I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that's possibly why I'm quite camp, and some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome."

Happy birthday, Hunk-a-dunk!

• Before you get all "Him Again!", we have a legitimate reason to feature Cheyenne Jackson as one of today's cover boys (beside the fact that he's a multi-talented gorgeous hunk). You see ... we sort-of ... forgot his birthday. Cheyenne turned thirty-four on Sunday, and with so much going on yesterday, it kind of slipped our minds. So happy belated birthday to one of our favorite out actor/singer/dancer invader of our dreams!

• Finally, I had no desire to watch this season of CBS's Big Brother, and it sounds like a good decision, as the resident thick-necked, over-muscled, slab of brain-dead meat likes throwing around homophobic slurs.

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

This guy!

I have no idea what's going on here.
