AfterElton Briefs: Introducing "Joe Calderone," Andy Cohen Gets Shoved, A Unisex "The View," and More!

Plus Jeff Lewis is flipeeing out, an RNC powerhouse comes out, and Jensen Ackles NUDE! (from the waist up).

Birthday cupcakes go out to out metal God Rob Halford (59) and Alexander Skarsgard (34).

• So, former RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman is about to come out. I think Joe.My.God. sums it up best.

• Below you can see a sneak peek at next week's Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special. I don't watch any of the Housewives shows regularly, but occasionally I'll tune in, and my favorite has always been Danielle. Why? Because she always seems to amplify the bat crap craziness of those around her. Especially Theresa, who takes out her frustrations on poor cross-eyed Andy Cohen. (I can call him that because Kathy Griffin does).

• Laineygossip has shirtless pics of gorgeous Supernatural star Jensen Ackles playing soccer, along with the complaint I've seen a tighter body. Yeah, get over yourself Lainey Gossip ... if that is your real name.

• Vogues Hommes Japan has an interview with their new coverboy Joe Calderone. In case you can't figure it out, "Joe Calderone" is an anagram for "DEJA CLONE ORE ." Don't you get it? It's Lady Gaga!

• Barbara Walters is apparently trying to hatch another daytime roundtable discussion, this time geared towards men. According to the article, she'd like to nab Bryant Gumbel, Alec Mapa, Jacque Reid and in the role of Elizabeth Hasselback, former Fox News host E.D. "terrorist fist-bump" Hill. I believe they tried a View-esque show for men before. Anyone else remember the monstrosity that was The Other Half?

• Below you can see Flipping Out's Jeff Lewis come up with an unusual way to rid his property of coyotes. Assistant Trace Lehnoff is a little pissed about it.

• Finally, I give you a ... Fire Tornado!
