AfterElton Briefs: Nick Adams Gets a Big-Time Gig, Jason Akermanis Gets The Boot, Betty Gets a Hoodie, and More!

Plus Rafa Vs. Thor, a possible Simon Cowell replacement, and an awesomely hypocritical PSA.

• Big congrats to one of our favorite guys, Broadway hunk-a-dunk Nick Adams, who's been cast in the North American company of the musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in the role of Adam/Felicia (played by Guy Pearce in the film). He'll star alongside Hair hottie Will Swenson and Australian actor Tony Sheldon. Hopefully he won't have to wear a hoodie for this role (read the hilarious last part of the article).

• Speaking of hoodies, in today's Betty Bite™, the legend is launching her own line of t-shirts and hoodies to hit stores in August. Portions of sales will go to the Morris Animal Foundation.

If he comes with it, I'll take three.

• Australian footballer Jason Akermanis, who made waves around the world when he advised gay athletes to stay in the closet, has been sacked by the Western Bulldogs six weeks before the end of the season. They're calling it a "bleach breach of trust."

• Dan Choi has been protesting DADT while wearing his military uniform, but now that word is out that his discharge actually went through last month, some are questioning whether it's a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

• A couple of buff bods to highlight: After winning a couple of tournaments this summer, Rafael Nadal (who's a professional tennis player) is now vacationing in Ibiza. His ass will arrive on a separate airplane.

Can you blame him for checking out that famous derriere?

• Below you can see another preview of Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Chris is certainly hot, but when I see pics like this, I don't think "superhero" as much as I think "W.W.E".

• A former prop assistant on House has filed a lawsuit claiming he was subjected to homophobic taunts on the set, as well as bizarre behavior from his superiors, including knife-throwing.

• As much as I love Chris Isaak ("Wicked Game" was one of the highlights of the barren landscape of 90's pop music), I don't know if I see him replacing Simon Cowell on American Idol.

• Below you can see a PSA put out by MTV Australia and the Red Cross sending the powerful message that "discrimination sux." Yes, that's right. The Red Cross hates discrimination. The Red Cross. I wonder why they didn't include any gays in the PSA?

• Finally, puppies are selfish.
