Thanks to Bigdillo for this week's winning caption.


Happy 52nd Birthday to David Hyde Pierce (here with partner Brian Hargrove at the opening of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying).

  • Robyn has always felt like an outsider, and she thinks that's part of the reason why she has such a loyal gay following; "I think the gay community just gets me, and I'm very lucky to have that audience — it's a very loyal and dedicated audience."
  • Below you can see the latest episode of the web series Then We Got Help, featuring AE favorite Nicholas Rodriguez as Danny, who in workout clothes is "like a fat-free cheesecake. It looks delicious, but nothing good can come of it." NSFW - a couple of f-bombs.

  • Approximately 9% of troops have gone through DADT "training," and the Pentagon expects that gay members of the armed forces could serve openly and keep their jobs legally by the end of the summer
  • Happy Birthday to Rachel Maddow, who turns 38 this weekend.

  • Below you can see playwright Brian Sloan talk about the reasons why he wrote WTC View, which he hopes to get on stage this spring, if he can get enough donations.

  • Today saw the signing of the Arkansas anti bullying law, and the Phillips family sent us this pic of Hero of the Year Will meeting Kathy Webb, the state's first openly gay representative (and one of the law's sponsors).

  • Yesterday I jokingly wondered what Drag Race cast-off Shangela was doing on the set of the Don Johnson pilot Its a Mann's World. It turns out that DJ Pierce (Shangela's real name) has been cast as hairdresser Snip, and believe it or not, Chris Crocker will play fellow hairdresser Snap ... or perhaps Snur.
  • Speaking of Drag Race, below you can see a sneak peek at Monday's show, when the dolls turn straight jocks into “drag queens for a day”

  • Below you can see John Polly take a look back at the highlights of this year's SXSW Music Festival.

  • Finally, below you can see "Futile & Fooled," the latest from out artist Brett Gleason. It's a" futuristic fusion of rock, electronica and jazz combining industrial guitars, Rhodes keyboards and a piano pounding pop chorus." And it's also jarring, mesmerizing, and totally cool. You can learn more about Brett and his music on his website.

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