AfterElton Briefs: "The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife," Adam's New Beau, the "Gaylies," and More!

• Yesterday was actor/model Ronnie Kroell's 28th birthday, and above you can see him celebrating with Original Cowboy Randy Jones, Michelle Clunie and should-have-been-Miss America Claire Buffie.

• One of the most eagerly anticipated series of the fall was supposed to the romantic anthology Love Bites, starring Ugly Betty's Becki Newton.. Well, the show was delayed, and delayed again, and now the stars are being told that they can look for other projects if they want. That's ... probably not a good sign.

• Oh, for pity's sake. The PTC is calling for members to contact their state Attorney Generals to investigate whether local cable and satellite providers violated child pornography laws by distributing Skins.

• Last year I wrote about out singer-songwriter Kevin Wong and his smart and sublime music (I especially loved "Legion of the Broken"). His upcoming album is titled "Books & Drinks & Boys & Things," and below you can listen to the first single "Books & Drinks," which will be on iTunes Feb. 15th.

• The 4th Annual Gaylies have been announced, honoring the 25 Most Influential Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Australians. I have to admit that I only recognize a handful, including that blond diver guy.

• Sordid Lives creator Del Shores has finally found the backing to brings his play The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife to the big screen. Beth Grant (one of the greatest character actresses in the history of everything) will reprise her award-winning role as an abused wife.

• Socialite Life has pics of Adam Lambert with his new boyfriend, Finnish Big Brother contestant Sauli Koskinen.

• Howard Stern has always been a gay ally (even if it's sometimes deeply shrouded in his "shock jock" persona), and Good as You has audio of a conversation he had on his show about using the word "fag."

• Britney's album "Femme Fatale" will be out on March 15th, and you can see the cover below.

• Finally, below you can see Anderson Cooper somehow manage to keep his cool while he and his film crew are attacked in Egypt.
