Out actor B.D. Wong

In a continued effort to bring you all that is important in the world of gay entertainment and ensure that you are being spoon-fed images of gorgeous, commoditized manflesh, we present the newly-minted AfterElton Briefs. Following the usual 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.

• The trailer for Gus van Sant's Paranoid Park is way better than I had expected. (My initial fears that he was wandering into Larry Clark territory were likely unfounded.)

• I'm fine with a Fight Club musical, as long as they keep the penguins.

• Out actor B.D. Wong is among the TV procedural vets that appear in this amusing strike video about a crime show that has an "impossibly hot" cast but no writers. Favorite line: "We're thinking that we had an episode like this once where her mom did it ... so maybe this also was her mom. It was a little similar to this."

Dirty Laundry cutie Rockmond Dunbar

• Gay indie film Dirty Laundry (which we reviewed over here) has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Clay Cane points out the progress this represents given the organization's conservative history, and also brings up some interesting points about Angelina Jolie's nomination for A Mighty Heart.

• And don't forget to come back at 10 PM EST to join in the fun on the liveblog of Make Me a Supermodel! Anyone have any ideas for a virtual drinking game? How about a shot every time we see Nikki Taylor's gums?

For a totally conventional hetero Cinderella romantic comedy without even an Obligatory Gay Best Friend, Falling for Grace, which opens this weekend in San Francisco and next weekend in Washington, DC, is kind of a who's who of the queer and near-queer.

It stars Queer as Folk's Gale Harold as the JFK Jr-esque Andrew Barrington, Jr. He's vying for the affections of Grace Tang (Faye Ann Lee) with Steven, played by gay actor B.D. Wong (M. Butterfly, Law & Order: SVU). When Grace, who has been mistaken for a Hong Kong heiress by a group of upper-crust New Yorkers, falls for Andrew, Steven turns his sights on her best friend, Janie, brought outrageously to life by every gay boy's best friend, Margaret Cho.

And there's more: Andrew's brittle socialite mother is played by the brilliantly funny and gay-friendly Christine Baranski (Birdcage, Jeffery). Baranski is currently on Broadway, starring in Paul Rudnick's Regrets Only, where she plays a different kind of socialite mother, one who's torn between her husband, a conservative lawyer helping the president write an anti-gay marriage amendment, and her gay best friend, Hank.

It's also something of a Law and Order who's who, because in addition to Wong and Baranski, both L&O franchise alums, Andrew is about to become engaged to Kay, played by Stephanie March (SVU's ADA Alexandra Cabot). She's kind of WASP-y and uptight but her hair looks really fabulous in this movie, and there just has to be something gay about that.
