AfterElton Briefs: Ted Allen discusses Hillary's diet, John Waters talks ice shows, and more!

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.

  • A radio personality named Dan Watson has launched the first gay commerclal radio show in Melbourne, called "The Stick Shift". I'm guessing the automotive metaphors stop there.
  • Gay Top Chef judge (and AfterElton.com fave) Ted Allen on Hillary Clinton's rumored love of hot peppers: "We don't need Hillary having to run to the can every 20 minutes ... I'd go easy on the Scotch bonnets if I were her."

Filth Elder John Waters
  • Voice gossip Michael Musto chatted up John Waters at the preview of the new Cry-Baby musical, and Waters revealed that his last Daily Show appearance prompted a call from ice-show producers who took his "Hairspray on Ice" joke seriously.
  • A reader directed us to this interesting clip that shows what happened when a radio host asked American Idol's Danny Noriega if he is gay: Apparently, the AI people cut off the call. (Warning, the host uses some very NSFW language to make his point) (t/y Outrageous Orator!)
  • "I'm lovin' it in a way that dare not speak its name": An officer from McDonald's Corporation joins the Board of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

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

This guy! (He must just have Fabrezed his duvet)

Ugh, I hate that Jubal

Ugh, I hate that Jubal video. I can understand him being upset with the AI produers, but why Danny? What's he supposed to do? Jubal would be much better at getting his point aross if he tried acting less like an angry asshole.

Like Danny

Jubal is what he is.

I think asking about any sexuality period in such a crass fashion is reason enough for Idol to end the interview if you were told to ask things in an "age appropriate manner."

Is AE trying or going to do interviews with Danny and David H?

Actually I liked his video.

Actually I liked his video. Sure he is tasteless after the phone call. But the point he was trying to make is valid and if I compare him to Howard Stern kind of interview, the way he asked about this topic was appropriate. No need to sugarcoat gay topics. But the call itself was not inappropriate while the sexual references after the call were.
