AfterElton Briefs: Gaga Gagged, Remembering Bayard Rustin, The Chat Show "Gay-Off," and More!

Luke Macfarlane performing at the Alzheimer's Association fundraiser last night in Beverly Hills.
- Glee news! I've got to be very careful how I tread here. I wasn't exactly thrilled when the show covered my favorite song ("Landslide") by my favorite artist (Stevie Nicks). But it happened, it's over, and I lived through it. Now Deadline is reporting that next season, an entire episode will be built around Fleetwood Mac's classic album Rumors. I'm not going to explode. I'm not going to rant. I'm just going to say ... bless their hearts.
- Also mentioned is that Gwyneth Paltrow will return next season, and Kristin Chenoweth will return later this season to perform the original song, "It’s 10 AM, I’m Drunk."
- Hey, Vampire Diaries fans, Alessar has a way to cope with dealing with endless reruns in this special Twitterwatch.
- Best.Week.Ever is having a contest to determine the saddest movie ever made. Among the Round One battles is Brokeback Mountain Vs. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
- Below you can see a sneak peek at next Monday's RuPaul's Drag Race, as the dolls have to record and perform their own versions of a Ru song.
- In an effort to make K-12 sports and physical education safer and more inclusive for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression, today saw the launch of Changing the Game: The GLSEN Sports Project. Below you can see an introductory vid that includes Cyd Ziegler from Outsports, and ally Hudson Taylor.
- E!online is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer have shot a passionate kissing scene for director Clint Eastwood's biopic J. Edgar, and according to a source, "[They did] more [takes] than Clint normally does. They wanted to make it right ... It's a more involved scene than just the kissing ... It was so sexy."
- Reality Blurred wants to know why Real World Las Vegas cast member Dustin Zito's gay-for-pay past is being whitewashed from the internet.
Luke's Macaulay Culkin tribute killed!
- Graham Norton say he's not bothered by the talk show competition, and playfully lays down the gauntlet: "I'm not threatened by other hosts. You just have to try and make the show the best you possibly can. Is Alan Carr gayer than I am? I don't know. We could have some kind of gay-off and find out!'
- Malaysian radio stations are editing the lyrics to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" to remove any reference to gay acceptance."The particular lyrics in 'Born This Way' may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia's social and religious observances."
- Finally, today marks the 99th birthday of civil rights pioneer Bayard Rustin. He assisted the Montgomery Bus Boycott, counseled Dr. King about nonviolence, and was the organizer behind the Civil Rights March in DC. He was also openly gay, and paid a price for his honesty.
