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.

• Perry Moore's groundbreaking novel Hero, about the coming-of-age of the world's first gay superhero, will make its way to paperback on May 5th. Hopefully we'll hear more soon on the still "in-development" Showtime series based on the novel.

• Congratulations to FunnyOrDie.com for their Webby Award nomination for the fabulous Prop 8 - The Musical. In other awards news, Neil Patrick Harris has been nominated for Favorite Celebrity Player at the First Game Show Awards, to be televised June 6th on C-Span The Game Show Network.

• Is a good old-fashioned Hollywood feud brewing between axed Desperate Housewives star Nicolette Sheridan and the show's out creator Marc Cherry? Let's hope so!

• Above you can see The Daily Show's take on Bo Obama, the country's first openly gay White House dog.

• Jeremy over at GoodAsYou.org has all of the sordid details and video of the gay Domino's workers who were fired for doing ... well, unsanitary things with the food. Not only were they fired, but now a warrant has been issued for their arrests.

• Finally, on a brighter note (and apropos of nothing), I rarely refer to anything as "inspiring", but what can I say, Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle has completely melted my cynical heart.

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