Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (September 28, 2007)

FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE!
Last week someone noted in the comments that every week I say the same thing about what's gay at the box office that week. Namely, that there is bupkus. So this week I'm determined to put a more positive spin on things.

Okay, there is still nothing gay, but The Kingdom features both Jamie Foxx and Kyle Chandler who are very easy on the eyes, not to mention Jennifer Garner who a lot of gay boys (me included) dig from her Alias days. The Darjeeling Limited starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzmann was actually up for the Queer Lion at Venice, though I can't really see why. Still, Owen, Adrien, and Jason are also easy on the eyes. Game Plan looks utterly dreadful, but it stars The Rock and Ang Lee's latest, Lust, Caution opens in limited release. (Ditto Darjeeling. Sorry!)

On DVD The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer featuring AfterElton Hot 100 hottie Chris Evans is out on Tuesday along with the considerably racier Caligula.

Marc doing Wilhelmina drag? Priceless! And the Hilda/Santos storyline was fantastically well-done. The way shows veers between whacking your funny bone and pulling on your heartstrings amazes me. And episode two is almost as good. And since you can't ever get enough Betty, be sure to check out our recap of the first ep!

Todd survived another week on Survivor and showed himself to be a cagey competitor. Check out Josh and Jon's "Surviving Gaycap" vlog on Monday.

Saturday night is a brand new Torchwood. This is the last episode of this season that I've seen ahead of time and everyone who has seen the rest of the season swears things really take off from here. And don't forget our Torchwood recaps!And if you haven't started watching our Torchwood vlog with Michael and Meredith, now is your chance!

Sunday brings us Season 4 of Desperate Housewives and while the new gay couple doesn't reportedly move in until episode four, the ladies of Wisteria Lane are in fine form. Like Ugly Betty, DH does a good job of moving between outrageously funny and touching. I found the first ep to be best when it focused on the relationships between Gabby, Bree, Lynette, and Susan. The new mystery — involving Dana Delaey and Nathan Fillion — could be good or could be bad. We'll have to see.

Brothers & Sisters is finally back and I'm happy to report that all of the show's trademark touches are intact. Hot kiss between Kevin (Matthew Rhys) and Jason (Eric Winter)? Check. (And I do mean hot! And a shower scene!) Uncle Saul getting a little visit from the Ghost of Gay Past? Check! (And check out our brand new interview with Ron Rifkin). Big Walker family blow-out? Check! So it's the B&S you've come to know and love.

Of course, what you guys really want to know about is what's going down between Kevin and Jason as everyone knows Eric is also starring over on CBS' Viva Laughlin. Looks Berlanti and company are handling things by ***** having ** **** *** to ******** for a ******* but Kevin ******** to **** for ***. But we know how often that works out.

Check back on Tuesday for Dennis' recap of the whole thing!

Neil Patrick Harris' How I Met Your Mother didn't do so hot in the ratings so I'm worried. There's a new ep on Monday night and Enrique Iglesias is in it again.

Dale rocked last week's Top Chef, winning the elimination challenge and sailing in to the final three which airs Wednesday. The final finale is this Wednesday and while the cooking portion isn't live, the judging will be. We're planning something a little special for it. First, we'll have an interview with Dale on Wednesday and then our Top Chef recapper Steven Frank will liveblog the whole thing. It's like he's facing his very own Top Recapper challenge and you folks can judge him live!

I'll be in New York next week so if you live there or will happen to be in the Big Apple and would like to demand a refund for this week's column in person, why not join us and the rest of the AfterElton.com staff for a get together on Wednesday evening?

Finally, I leave you with this week's "Two Gay Guys" vlog wherein Brent and I show what total geeks studs we are as we discuss gay men and sports.

Now I'll shut up so you can have the BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER!
