And to get you into a playful mood, each week's final post will feature a pic up top that desperately needs captioning. Each week we'll pick our fave suggestion from the comments and run it in the following week's post. Have fun! Drop your caption ideas in the comments, and check out last week's winner after the jump!

Time for another one of those time-wasting yet hopelessly addictive online jigsaw puzzles! We're not going to give you any hints, but if you want to see the finished product then click here.

Move the pieces around with your mouse — they will snap together when in the right place. How fast can you complete this puzzle?

Oliver Fish nabs the crown again, garnering 38% of the vote for his fiery coming-out declaration in front of protesters and cameras on One Life to Live.

In second place is his paramour Kyle Lewis, who earned 29% for making his own declaration ... of love.

Trailing in third is Sam and Dan from The Amazing Race, who wore clingy long underwear and won the week's race, but could only manage 17% in the face of the Kish juggernaut.

Right behind them with 16% was Modern Family's Mitchell, who proved he still has all the right moves.

Congrats to Oliver, who's getting quite accustomed to wearing the crown. Come back next Thursday to see if he's nominated again, or if four new contenders will vie for the top spot.

"Will they or won't they" ... show up in this episode? We've been hearing conflicting rumors that our guys may make an appearance, so let's cross our fingers. If they don't, well hopefully someone else will fly out a window or one of the hunks will throw us a bone with a towel scene.

Following this assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear. Yes, we're serious.

• Sir Ian McKellen showed up on The View today and mentioned that it wasn't until he came out that he became a movie star. He also had to endure Elizabeth Hasselbeck arguing with him about the NHS (apparently Lizzy is an expert on British health services), a flu-ravaged Whoopi Goldberg asking him if he's going to do another Harry Potter film (Ian had to gently remind her that he was in the Lord of the Rings films), and Sherri mispronouncing "Magneto". Not a shining hour for the ladies.

• Jan Moir is a last-minute nominee for the Stonewall Bigot of the Year Award, which will be given out tonight in London.

• Playwright Jo Clifford talks about the furor surrounding her play Jesus, Queen of Heaven.

Sorry, I've just always wanted to write "Lights, Camera, ... Murder!" Actually, I'm hoping that Noah's film turns out to be spectacular just so I can hear someone say "here's your Oscar, Mayer".

Anyway ... join us for the fun, and refresh for updates!

• Former The Advocate Editor-In-Chief Judy Weider has a fiery article on Huffington Post about the collapse of the ground-breaking publication.

• File this under "inevitable". According to TMZ, the reason why Carrie Prejean dropped her lawsuit against the Miss California USA Pageant is because they got their hands on her homemade sex tape.

• NYTimes.com is running an ad for newmuseum.org that is raising eyebrows. The ad in question is on the right-hand side, halfway down the page. It's not one of those Exorcist screamer pranks, but it's close.

Since the last time we Liveblogged from Oakdale, Brad died and is now a ghost, and Carly returned from her pregnancy rehab.

Noah is also back with his apparently finished opus, which prompts Mason to tell Luke that he's declaring open season on Noah's affections.

Now that the giddiness has subsided, Oliver and Kyle must face reality. Where do they go from here? Will they take it slowly? Jump in to a relationship? What about Nick? Shouldn't Kyle get the tux back to the store?

Hopefully we'll find the answers to some of these questions today. Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

Sure, working here in the AfterElton.com Blungeon™ (Blog + dungeon) is a never-ending parade of cute puppies and lollipops, but sometimes things get a bit hectic, and we need help from our faithful readers.

We received a moldy cardboard box from upstairs full of obscure or forgotten gay-themed films, with orders to alphabetize them. Unfortunately, the titles on all the covers have been blacked out! This is where you come in.

Every week we'll present the cover art for a gay-themed film and ask you to create a new title based just on the cover art. We'll pick our favorite, and announce the winner the next week (along with the real title of the film).

Take a look at the cover art above and take your best shot. And below you can see the real title of last week's entry, as well as our favorite faux title. And if you happen to know the movie's real title, we ask that you don't post it!
