AfterElton Briefs: Rupert Everett at it again, gay-baiting near Ryan Seacrest, and more!

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Some simple celebrity math: Rupert Everett + live microphone = Gossip gold. Oh, and apparently he's great in Blithe Spirit, in which he's appearing on off-days between trashing gay parents and rhapsodizing about the penis sizes of media bigwigs.
  

• Was GLAAD remiss in honoring As the World Turns for its Nuke storyline? Some people think so.

• The Huffington Post on how gay marriages in Iowa ... and beyond! ... will actually strengthen hetero marriages.

• Nick Adams, John Tartaglia, Jim Caruso and Nicholas Rodriguez are among the out performers featured in the upcoming Leading Men IV concert to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on May 11. (And it just so happens that four of the guys made our Hot List of theater guys.) Tickets and more info available at Birdland's website.

• I know it's not exactly "Stop the Presses!" time when an instance of gay-baiting occurs near Ryan Seacrest, but when the baiter is Harvey Weinstein and the baitee is NBC president Ben Silverman, it's probably worth noting.

• And finally, just because it's a rainy Monday here in Brooklyn, some shots of some annual penis festival and parade in Kawasaki, Japan. Might be NSFW if you work at a company staffed entirely by people made of wood, clay or candlewax.
