"Single? Who, me?"

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.

• Publicists, shmublicists! Lance Bass allegedly made a quick change on his Myspace page and saved us all a press conference about his relationship status. I'm loving this Internet thing!

• At a recent preview for the Patti LuPone-starring Broadway Gypsy revival, an air vent fell from the ceiling and nailed a woman on the head. And here I thought I had a story when my sister-in-law got puked on during the second-act opener of Chicago!

• Conservative Christians are all up in arms over Angels in America's being assigned to high school students, calling the play "racist 'gay' porn." You know, that "multiple Tony-winning, multiple Emmy-winning, multiple SAG-Award-winning, multiple Golden-Globe-winning, Pulitzer-effing-Prize-winning racist 'gay' porn."

• Above I've posted a cute best-moments fanvid taken at the recent Good Medicine benefit for Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crewmembers, including a snippet of T.R. Knight singing a song from Follies.

• On a personal note, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at AfterElton.com, both behind the scenes and on the pages. This marks my one year anniversary of being on the editorial staff (Michael, that sting of regret will fade with time, I swear!) and it's been quite an adventure so far. I'm taking a few days off for my birthday but of course with Michael, Dennis, Brent, the Blogsketeers, our crackerjack writers and many wonderfully engaged readers keeping you entertained and informed, it probably won't even register. Thanks to all for your support, feedback, insight and humor, and for making the year the success that it has been!

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...
