AfterElton Briefs: The Claws Come Out on "The A-List: New York," an "Emmerdale" Star Apologizes, and More!

Oprah has released the logo for her network. Needs more garish neon.

• Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas (who plays Aaron's mate Adam) has issued an apology for an anti-gay incident at a McDonalds involving a gay fan of the show. "“I deeply apologize for my actions and I am horrified to realize that I have caused offense.” I'm sure the fact that it was caught on video had nothing to do with the mea culpa.

• The fallout over the remarks by instant Asshat winner Clint McCance continues, with word that it might not be possible to fire him. Meanwhile, AE favorite and wise beyond his years Will Phillips weighs in. You rock, Will!

• Kylie Minogue has announced that her North American tour will kick off in April and may of 2011.

• Latina.com has a great interview with Project Runway finalist Mondo Guerra about the pressures of the show and his decision to announce he's HIV-Positive.

• The Village Voice chats with Dan Choi about the status of DADT and ... why he's been kicked off Grindr four times.

• Finally, below you can see Rachel Maddow track down Alaskan Senate candidate and try to interview him about his stand on gay issues.
