AfterElton Briefs: Will Young in lycra, a new Top Dog is crowned, and more!

Will Young in Rise of the Silver Crooner

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 UK pop star Will Young has just released the video for his new single Let It Go, in which he fantasizes about life as a superhero. Please say I'm not the only one who saw this and first thought it was from the latest volume of Hard Heroes.
  • TheQuietus.com has an interview with metal God Rob Halford, who talks about how disappointed he is that so few others in hard rock followed his lead by coming out. But if you think he regrets his decision ... you've got another thing coming. (Ugh. I'm sorry for that.)
  • Country star Kenny Chesney tells Playboy that he's still peeved that anyone could have thought he was gay. "What guy who loves girls wouldn't be angry about that? I didn't sign up for that!"

Dude, that's not what "Second Life" means!

  • Keeping in my mind that the UK's News of the World isn't the most highly regarded publication, this story is still kinda hilarious. Allegedly, a woman in England in divorcing her husband because she caught him having a gay affair ... in the video game Second Life. She was "horrified" when she saw her husband's avatar, Troy Hammerthall, "having it off with another man in a dungeon on the screen". Yeah, well, my character is named MoonSister WildHeart, but it doesn't mean I really want to be a mystical fairy. Although ...
  • Striking a blow for elderly everywhere, a ten year old Spaniel named Bloody Stump won Best in Show at the 133rd Annual Westminster Kennel Club show at Madison Square Garden. Oh well, it looks like my deranged Yorkie will have to wait another year.
  • An article in The New York Observer is causing a stir. It's called "Gays Love a Depression!", and is about how the recession is allegedly affecting gays less than other demographics. Or maybe it's just "shopping gays", as one brave gay man points out: "I definitely still have to shop” he said. “It’s got to be done. We can’t let it affect the way we live. I’m a shopper, and most of my gay friends are.”

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

This guy!

    link to Will Young video

    I'm assuming you intended to include the video link, so here it is:

    This is the second idiotic article about us in the "Observer"

    A couple of weeks back they were claiming that Andrea Mitchell of NBC News -- that's right, Mrs. Alan Greenspan --  is a Gay Icon.

    Oh really? Does she sing like Judy? Dress like Dietrich? Can she say "Geeef Me dee Coparah Jool!" like Maria Montez?

     

    I didn't think so either.

     

    What drugs are they taking over there? Is Simon Doonan on them?  And is Winona Ryder his connection?

    More Info Please

    Not because of this guy in particular (no that I would complain if I found him on my bedroom)... but it would be fine if you at least included the names of the brief models on the colum. That way we can do more research on the subject if the matter calls for it ;-)

    Well, the picture properties list the name of the file as juan_pablo_llano_shirtless_1.jpg.

    A quick web search brought me to the following site: http://www.mostbeautifulman.com/actors/juanpablollano/bio.shtml

    Hmmm, "deranged Yorkie"... Isn't that an oxymoron ?

    I've been a fan of Will's for years! I have to agree, he does look really good in lycra;)
