Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone at The Cinema Society and Details screening of Milk (GETTY)

Following this 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.

• Last night in NYC Details Magazine and The Cinema Society held a screening of Milk which brought out the film's stars Sean Penn, James Franco and Josh Brolin, as well as out director Gus Van Sant. Also walking the red carpet were fashion god Marc Jacobs and his Brazilian boyfriend Lorenzo Martone, who obviously have been too busy admiring each other's hotness to shave. Not that I mind.

• Speaking of hotness, People magazine has released their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue and once again there are apparently no sexy gay men in the world (or at least not in the top 15 who are profiled). To see actual sexy men, including gay ones, check out the AfterElton.com Hot 100!

• Fans of America's Next Top Model may be in for a treat if the CW network picks up the new show Operation Fabulous. It would follow Top Model "coaches" Jay Manuel and J. Alexander as they "ride into small towns across the country to advise everyday girls on how to work it in the real world."

We can add Batboy to our list of allies

• Supporters of Prop 8 must be shaking in their boots today as it was revealed that Batboy has been protesting to help overturn the measure. You rock, Batboy!

• And in serious Breaking News about Prop 8, word is that the California Supreme Court will hear several legal challenges to the state's same-sex marriage ban, but will not allow any new gay marriages until it rules on the measure's validity. Well, the first hurdle has been cleared, but there's still a long way to go.

• Finally, the latest celebrity to speak out about Prop 8 is Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who tells Huffington Post "eventually the American public will figure out that it really isn't right to deny citizens basic civil human rights. And we can no longer allow that to happen."

We just got a sneak peek at the September cover for Out Magazine, and let me just say, "Whoa!" Who the heck knew that Marc Jacobs had been hiding such a slammin' bod under all that twee?

My compliment will unfortunately likely fall on deaf ears, as Jacobs has this to say re: blogs in the interview:

"I don’t care about all that shit. I’m very outspoken and honest. I’m the first to say that I’m gay, that I’m insecure, that I have certain hang-ups, that I’ve been dependent on drugs or alcohol, so I don’t really hide things with the fear that they’re going to be revealed on some blog. You’re going to get a bunch of blogs saying ‘He must be on meth in order to be that skinny compared to 10 months ago,’ but in fact I’m eating a totally organic diet, which has no flour, no sugar, no dairy, and no caffeine, and I lost weight because of that diet and because of a 2-hour exercise regime seven days a week.”

Jacobs also shares a story about when he first realized he was gay:

“I was in sleepaway camp, and there was a counselor, and we all had to take showers together and that kind of thing. It was weird. I was always teased by other kids for being gay before I’d ever had any kind of sexual contact with another man, and I was always afraid of what it meant [to be gay], but I was also very excited by it because I couldn’t deny to myself that I found naked men really attractive, especially my camp counselor. I just thought he was the most exciting, sexual thing I’d ever seen in my life. And I was turned on by the images of naked men, as opposed to the images of naked women.”

We've got a special place for camp in our hearts as well ... only it's of the John Waters variety. Out's big September issue hits newsstands soon -- in the meantime, you can see more racy pics of the megadesigner over here.
