AfterElton Briefs: How the media covered Ellen's wedding, Robert Downey Jr. discusses his bi 80's, and more!


T.R. Knight shnugs with boyfriend Mark Cornelsen yesterday in Los Angeles

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 weekend wedding of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be the cover exclusive of this week's People Magazine. Keep 'em comin'!
  • But WTF is up with CNN International's coverage of Ellen's getting 'married'? Fearquotes are soooo 2007 ... and isn't it poor etiquette to misspell the name of one of the brides in the headline? 
  • On the other hand, here's a cute clip of T.R. Knight, Katherine Heigl, and others wishing Ellen and Portia well on their weekend wedding.

  • Above, from our sibs at 365Gay: A look at how how dark clouds over Wall Street are dressing down fashions for next season.
  • Comeback of the year Robert Downey Jr. notes in the new Rolling Stone that his rumored bisexuality in the 80's was manufactured. Like everything else in the 80's!
  • When is an apology about making offensive comments about an upcoming transgender contestant on America's Next Top Model not an apology? When it's coming from FOX News. ("Because their lips are moving!" ... Wait, did I mess up the joke again? Darn it all!)

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

This guy!

    Downey's bisexuality was "manufactured" out of his behavior

    Period

    Meanwhile, TR and Mark are adorable.  I hadn't realized just how much taller Mark is before now.

    Hi Liz, Mark is known for often wearing politically charged t-shirts.  This one appears to say:  "I like it better when it's recently used.  Buy recycled."

    ugh

    "T.R. Knight shnugs with boyfriend Mark Cornelsen yesterday in Los Angeles "

    Give them a freaking break from the cameras, it's become horrible/stalking behaviour at this point.

    at first

    I thought that mark was that guy matt from big brother 9. he really does look like him, especially with those sunglasses, but then again this is the first time Ive ever seen mark, so I dont know what he looks like w/out his sunglasses.

    if you click

    if you click on the robert downey jr. link, youll see a pic. of him with a hair style that fustrates the hell outta me, not b/c I dont like it, but b/c it's a bitch to get MY hair to look like THAT, I have wavy/curly hair and I have no idea what to use, yeah, im not a hair expert, but I know what looks good. does anyone know how to get wavy/curly hair under control? I dont even know the correct name for the damn hair styles, thats how outta touch I am with my inner gay self. HEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEE PLEEEEEEASE!!!!! Im tempted to go john mayer or britney spears and just give myself a buzzcut my hair is such a bitch.

    styling wax....

    ...you scrutch it in when your hair is still damp from the shower. But, seriously Michael, a mop of beautiful, dark, naturally curly hair is precious! Don't fight it!

     

     

     

    I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.

    is that what the product is

    is that what the product is called? where can I get it? maybe Im too much of a perfectionist, but with my hair, Im always ALMOST there, but not quite, by "not quite" it means it looks like Im trying to hard, or ALMOST have that lift that you see in the R.D j.r. picture. seriously, it takes a dual mirror in my restroom to see the side view of my face and an hour in the morning to get happy with my hair(thats a whole hour screwing w/my hair!)

    Michael, hair product suggestion

    Hey Michael, I have a similar problem.  I've got fine curly blond hair (with many cowlicks...damn cows!).  I can never get my hair to look right.  And if I do, within a couple hours, it looks like it's fallen flat.  So, by mid-day, I'll be in the bathroom at work, running my hands through it again.  Sigh.  A gay's hair is never done.

    Anyways, I'm still trying to find the perfect product.  The best I've found to this point is KMS molding paste, and lately I've liked better American Crew Fiber Pliable Molding Creme.

    I've been growing my hair out more lately and embracing the curls.  Not too long, but longer than a buzz cut that I'd had for years and you can see in my pic.  I think I've also figured out that the more I work out at the gym, the curlier my hair has gotten.  Is it possible that sweat puts a natural curl to the hair for extended periods?  I think so now.

    Maryann1970's picture

    this is the look that Im going for

      

    and its hell b/c my hair has that wave to it that makes it look, well, not like that! sometimes, on a really lucky good day, I get it like his, but its very rare, and it doesnt last the whole day. thanks for the product suggestions Dane, I'll HAVE to try them out, the only damn gel that I've used is "got to b glued"

    Hair product

    I can see why you want your hair to look like that.  Hot!  Hope it works for you.  Who's that in your avatar, btw?  He looks familiar, but I can't place him.
    Maryann1970's picture

    Chris

    the avatar is my fav. gay porn star from Randy blue, his name is chris rockway. I dont think Ive ever seen any other hotter than him, but there are a couple who come close, like Dean Monroe, mmmm! :p ;D My celeb crushes ,though, are David beckham, and keanu reeves, I know there's lots more out there Im just alittle too tired to think right now.

    Dane Hill's picture

    Chris Rockway

    Ha! No, I guess I don't know him.  But I should get to know him!  He is good looking.  Keanu definitely does something for me too.  Smoldering, mmm.  Beckham is just beautiful, but for some reason doesn't affect me like other guys do. 

    My faves at the moment are Paul Walker (my gaaawd), Chris Evans (I actually see him at my gym every once in a while, and holy hotness, batman!) and Jamie Bamber (hot + English accent = HOOOOTTT!!!!).  I could go on and on, but I'll stop.  heh

    I had alittle snicker about it too

    but the only other person who I think he looks like is one of the guys from dawson's creek(I didnt watch it, but I knew who he was, he had blond hair) oh my god I bought the movie Joy Ride the other day and got to see paul walker's bare ass! it was a good scary movie, and a really funny scene, dont know if you've seen it, but I like it when he walks in the resturant naked orders the burger and the old lady just looks at him and says "would you like fries with that" just thinking about it is making me laugh. and of course everytime I watch fantastic 4, I cant take my eyes off of chris evans.

    Paul Walker and Chris Evans

    Weird that you said Dawson's Creek.  I think you're thinking of James Van der Beek?  I was actually thinking that he kinda reminds me of the Dad on Dawson's Creek.

    Joy Ride was surprisingly good! And omg, yes, that butt scene was excellent!  More surprisingly good (and hooottt) PW films I would recommend are Noel (holiday movie) and Eight Below (family movie but really got to me).  Into the Blue is good too, but maybe just because PW has his shirt off through most of the movie.  (Hey, it's Oscar worthy! heh)

    For Chris Evans, I would recommend Cellular and of course Not Another Teen Movie (nice butt shot in this one too).

    Best Paul Walker movie is "Running Scared"

    Paul Walker is probably better known for his looks than his acting but I think he gives his best acting performance in "Running Scared". Really good film, imo. Oh, and you get a naked butt shot, too.

    Also enjoyed "Into The Blue", which has something for all orientations, what with both PW and Jessica Alba running around in bathing suits most of the time. I agree about Disney flick "Eight Below" - nice family friendly tear-jerker.

    that pic

    OMG that pic is so cute i just had to put it as my avatar.

    How can some homophobes say that our sexuality has to do with sex only, not love? Tell them to look at that picture.

    Oh, and I found it so funny and cute that you guys actually spent like 4, 5 posts talking about hair and hair product. LOL.

    *Love that pic* :-)
