AfterElton Briefs: Tracy Morgan's "Misunderstanding," The "Steel Magnolias" Remake, A "Brokeback" Reunion, and More!

• Birthday Shoutouts! Stephen Moyer (above) is 42, Dawn French is 54, Joan Cusack is 49, Luke Perry is 46, Jane Krakowski is 43, Matthew Bomer is 34 and Daryl Hall is 65. Time to name your top five Hall & Oates songs. Here are mine (and this is tough narrowing it down to five. So many classics): 5. "Maneater," 4. "Dreamtime (Daryl solo hit)," 3. "Rich Girl," 2. "Out Of Touch," 1. "Did It In A Minute."

• Steven Soderbergh's long-discussed biopic of Liberace will finally start shooting next summer, but not for movie screens, but for HBO.

• Huffington Post has a nice piece on Coming Out Day from Jordan Roth.

• Jaleel White will host the new Syfy game show Total Blackout, which will "place contestants in complete darkness to compete in challenges."

• I weep for our world.

• This must have been an interesting trip to the hospital.

• If you can stand it, below you can see Tracy Morgan tell David Letterman that his vicious anti-gay rant on stage was all a "misunderstanding."

• Here's a report about a reality show star caught faking an "incident." No, not that one, someone else!

• Lifetime to remake Steel Magnolias with all-black cast. Please tell me I'm not the only one who immediately thought "RuPaul as Truvy."

• I'm cautiously optimistic that the opponents of the FAIR Act are telling the truth and don't have the signatures to place a referendum on the November 2012 ballot to overturn it. But who knows what "miracle" may happen before the deadline arrives.

• Below you can see Michelle Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal at the premiere of Michell's film My Week With Marilyn.
