AfterElton Briefs: GLBT History Month begins, "Mad Men" star Bryan Batt possibly taking the plunge, and more!

Bryan Batt at the 23rd Annual Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction in NYC

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.

  • Is Bryan Batt getting married? Well if you believe a "source" at the National Enquirer , the answer is yes. The out Mad Men star is reportedly set to wed his partner of twenty years in Vermont.
  • Milk star James Franco is joining the cast of ABC's General Hospital for a two-month stint as a "mystery person".

  • Today is the first day of GLBT History Month, and each day glbthistorymonth.com will present a short video tribute to a different gay icon. Above you can see today's honoree, choreographer Alvin Ailey Jr.
  • Washed-up rapper 50 Cent (who's value has depreciated so much he's now just called Nickel) opened his big mouth once again and called the tour of Kanye West and Lady GaGa the "gay tour". He goes on to say "Kanye's cool with the gay folk. I have nothing against them, but he's cool with them. " Yes, because that's just ... horrible. I'm no fan of Kanye, but I'll take him over Two Pennies any day. *STOP THE PRESS! It appears that Mr. Cent has just released a ... um ... heartfelt apology.

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

This guy!

    ....called it the queerest news i read today.  GH is a top-tier soap, and there's an enormous amount of talent there, but... maybe he's doing it because he can fit it during his school work at NYU. 

    very bizarre... 

    and, while i'm on it, couldn't care less that Vanessa Marcil may or may not be coming back.  Brenda and Sonny was SOOOOO 2003...

    I support absolutely anything that can pry Sonny out of Claudia's clutches.

    Okay, I draw the line at having Destiny Evans cross over as a creepy pedophile/badly acted thing, but I had to pause and think about it.  Heck, another go-round with Carly would be preferable.

    As if I needed one more reason to watch this show, its good news but its a very unusual move. There is speculation that he will be reserching a role, but it still sounds odd.

    There's actually implied words in the sentence: "He has more hips than I have hips."

    Although I think the sentence is factually incorrect: it's actually his upper thighs that make him so odd looking.  But what he lacks in proportionality, he makes up for in duct tape.

    I agree with you. There is definitely something odd there though..

    His thighs are a bit out of proportion with the rest of his body. Coupled with his strangely thin waist it just comes of a bit... lopsided. He's not ugly mind you. Just a bit disproportionate.

    I have to agree, though, the duct tape does help. As does that lovely patch of fabric in front of his gems. ;)

    *blushes* Why do I feel so superficial all of a sudden?

    Actually the Kanye and Lady Gaga tour was cancelled today. I'm not surpsried since it was a weird that they would tour together to begin with. They have such different styles of music.

    I followed the link and listened to the clip of 50 cent's interview. He sounds ridiculous. Neither of the two interviewers were comfortable with his comments. He tried to make something of the fact that Kanye premiered a song on Ellen's show, and interviewers did not play along. I guess he doesn't realise how popular Ellen is with all kinds of people. He just makes himself seem stupid.

    That today's briefs guy is just jaw dropping that pic is really GREAT man!!!

    I'm really sorry for James Franco 'cause I loved him In Spidey and Milkand it's bitterly dissapointing that the lack of opportunities in Gringo cinema led him to this DESPERATE move.

    And that 50 cent guy, well, what can u expect from a depreciated and desperate hip hop (so called) star in a free fall from fame like the one he has bee since sometime ago!!!

    Go to my myspace...  NOW!!!
