Ever-adorable Top Chef judge Ted Allen (shopping for jeans)

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.

• Top Chef: Chicago has announced the roster of Cheffersons for the show's fourth season, and we've been told by Bravo that there are no openly gay men on this season (a first since Season 1). Ted Allen will be back as a judge, and there are lesbian contestants, but I don't know ... with Ted only making occasional appearances, it was Dale who kept me coming back every week last season.

• Amy Winehouse reminds Boy George of ... himself?

• MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski has joined colleagues Keith Olbermann and Dan Abrams in slamming John Gibson's mocking of Heath Ledger's death, noting, "I don't know how you stay on the air after something like that, quite frankly." Brzezinski gained fame for refusing to read (and tearing up) a news item on Paris Hilton and calling for Don Imus to be fired following his racist comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

• In related news, GLAAD has called for anyone offended by Gibson's comments to email and call as many people at Fox News as they can. While you have them on the phone, be sure to tell them you're sorry you dropped a house on their sister.

And today's Briefs are brought to you by... fitness model (and onetime MTV Exposed subject) Jessie Godderz!
