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.

• You probably know that gay fave Kathy Griffin will be hosting the upcoming A-List Awards on Bravo, and they've just announced some presenters. Prepare yourselves for Neil Patrick Harris, Chelsea Handler, Tori Spelling, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, Bruce Vilanch, and Mark Indelicato. It's like "Night of 100 Stars", plus the Kardashians!

• But that's not all! The A-List Awards will also feature an AmFar tribute to the late Natasha Richardson, and Tim Gunn will host the red carpet pre-show, which will feature "stars" from all three versions of Bravo's Housewives series competing in something called a "fashion face-off".

• As expected, Logo's RuPaul's Drag Race has officially been renewed for a second season. Casting begins the first week of May.

• Above you can see a short but sweet reminder to everyone on AfterElton.com from Simon Doonan to watch Beautiful People when it premieres on Logo in May. The BBC import (based on Simon's early days) has garnered rave reviews.

• Princess Diana and Nelson Mandela are two of the gay icons in a new London exhibition. Actually, they're the icons of gay icons, having been chosen by the likes of Elton John and Ian McKellan.

• Finally, who says there's no such thing as Gaydar?

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

This guy!
