AfterElton Briefs: Alcide's Abs, "The Best Gay Film Of The Last Decade," The "Wonder Woman" Reboot May Be Booted, and More!


New Dilfs On The Block attend the Third NKOTB Cruise in Miami

  • What a difference a horrific costume makes. Deadline is reporting that the much buzzed about pilots for Wonder Woman and It's A Mann's World now look doubtful to be picked up for series. EW.com has the pros and cons of Wonder Woman getting the green light.
  • stonewall.org readers voted Milk as the best gay film of the last decade, followed by The Kids Are All Right and Brokeback Mountain.
  • Below you can see Rachel Maddow keep us up-to-date on the Ugandan "Kill The Gays" bill.

  • In ratings news, last night's Happy Endings double-header held steady, which is good news considering ABC could decide its fate at any time.
  • New DVD releases! Blue Valentine, with the Oscar nominated performance of Michelle Williams (and the should-have-been nominated Ryan Gosling), Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached, and the Oscar-nominated animated film The Illusionist.
  • Actress/songwriter Dolores Fuller has passed away at the age of 88. Dolores was the muse and girlfriend of Ed Wood and his co-star in Glen or Glenda (she was memorably played by Sarah Jessica Parker in the 1994 classic Ed Wood).
  • Below you can see the new trailer for the new season of True Blood, which starts June 26th on HBO. Joe Manganiello growls, and his abs are so sick they piss me off.

  • Piers Morgan will have an hour with Chaz Bono tonight, along with Chaz's partner Jennifer Elia and step-mother Rep. Mary Bono Mack.
  • Someone over at fmforums didn't appreciate all of the hot pics of Stargate: Atlantis star Joe Flanigan that were posted, and wrote this:" I go to a lot of sci-fi cons and have spoken with a lot of people who've worked with him. Joe is from a very conservative family background. He refused to do any shirtlessness on the Stargate series because he purposely did not want to attract the same kind of 'gay following' that Michael Shanks and Ben Browder have. He's SO not down with the gays that when California had the Proposition 8 thing going on, Joe donated money to have it PASSED, which made him pretty unpopular with the rest of his open-minded cast mates."
  • Well, apparently a fan tipped Joe off, and he tweeted this out to set the record straight. I'm so glad he did, because I've had the hots for him for years. But please don't ask me to do a Marry, Hump or Dump with him, Michael Shanks, and Ben Browder, because there's just no way I could handle it.

  • Larry King is a New Yorker for marriage-equality.

  • Well, voting for the 2011 AfterElton.com Hot 100 ends tomorrow night, so time is running out if you haven't named your picks yet. All this week I've been giving you my picks, and tomorrow I'll reveal my full list in the briefs. In the meantime, here's my #6 guy. Can you guess who it is?

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