AfterElton Briefs: "Glee" Will Experience The Big "O", Kathy Griffin's DADT Rally Ends Unexpectedly, Gandalf Returns, and More!

Plus Miley vs. the haters, scandal in the workroom on Project Runway, and happy birthday Vanessa Williams!

Mega Super Happy Birthday to Vanessa Williams, who turns 47 today.

• Yesterday we told you that teen queen Miley Cyrus's favorite show was RuPaul's Drag Race. She also told Parade Magazine that the reason she canceled her Twitter account is because of all the hate mail she received after tweeting her support of marriage equality. Don"t let the haters get you down, Miley! I said "haters" because that's what the kids say these days. I'm hip like dat.

• Spurf™ is reporting that April 7 is a day that all humanity will mark on their calendar. Why? Four words ... Glee meets Oprah Winfrey.

• Scandal strikes the workroom! Below you can see a sneak peek of tonight's Project Runway. My beloved Ping and Jesse are gone, so I'm not as invested in this season as I was a few weeks ago, but at least Anthony is still around to keep things lively.

• Below you can see a couple of pics from the DADT Rally today in D.C., which started with Kathy Griffin at the Freedom Plaza, and ended with out servicemember Dan Choi handcuffed to the White House gate. You can follow the whole story over at Towleroad.

• Kevin Sessums talks to Dame Edna and Michael Feinstein about the opening of their Broadway show All About Me.

• I've never participated in a clinical trial (I've always been afraid of hearing "pleasant taste, some monsterism"), but It irks me to find out that I may be turned down because I'm gay.

• Finally, Sir Ian Mckellen has confirmed that filming begins this July on The Hobbit, with the icon reprising his role as Gandalf.
