AfterElton Briefs: Rudy the no-show, Matthew Mitcham ordered out of Mexico, and more!

Fashion guru Marc Jacobs attends the 4th Annual New York Times Sunday With The Magazine last night in NYC. He also announced yesterday that his wedding to fiancee Lorenzo Martone will take place in June in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

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.

• We absolutely adore the satirical website theonion.com, and this news report on a mid-west gay couple refusing to marry in Iowa should explain why.

• Out Olympian Matthew Mitcham has been ordered to return from Mexico by Australian sports officials over fear of swine flu.

• There's an interesting debate over at nytimes.com on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". The usual suspects are involved, but my favorite is the guy who basically warns "but it would mean gay dudes would get to see straight dudes naked!"

Mark Hsiao & Howard Koeppel wed, but Rudy Giuliani couldn't be bothered

• Thrice-married Rudy Giuliani was a no-show at the wedding of gay pals Mark Hsiao and Howard Koeppel over the weekend. I guess he really is adamant about that "sanctity of marriage" thing. Did I mention he's thrice-married?

• Finally, if we didn't need another reason to dislike Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, in an interview with christianitytoday.com he delivered this jaw-dropper: "I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children". Wow. Just ... wow. What I really love is that the comments about what he said are overwhelmingly negative. Isn't his fifteen minutes up yet?

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

This guy!
