AfterElton Snapshot: Your ABBA-loving biological father for the week ending July 18
YOUR CAPTION HERE
As we go into the weekend, here's a handy shortlist of the biggest stories of the week on AfterElton.com. And to get you into a playful mood, each Friday'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!
- Our exclusive, first-hand coverage of the Television Critics Association conference (courtesy of our jet-setting editor, Michael Jensen) continued. Here's Our exclusive Star Trek movie news, our chat with Nigel Lythgoe, Days 4-6 (Carson Kressley! Shirley MacLaine!), The FOX panel (responding to their failing GLAAD grade), Days 7-8 (Do Not Disturb! Joss Whedon!), Day Nine (Brothers & Sisters! Scrubs!), and Day Ten (Desperate Housewives! Ugly Betty!).
- We reviewed the new revival of Damn Yankees, starring out multiple-threat Cheyenne Jackson.
- We looked at what it's like being gay in the writer's room of a television show.
- I sat across from a male supermodel and all you got was this lousy blog post.
- Gay soaps! Over on Forbidden Love Olli, Christian and Gregor did a swimsuit shoot. No, seriously. Luke had Daddy Issues (with two different dads!) on As the World Turns. And over on Hollyoaks, Kieron stood up for himself against John Paul's mom.
- We liked Mamma Mia! ... but not nearly as much as your mom will.
- The Emmy nominations were pretty darn gay. Big congrats to Neil Patrick Harris and Bryan Fuller!
- GLAAD released their report on the networks, with ABC once again coming in tops.
- We recapped the fifth ep of Design Star, in which we lost a member of Team Gay that we didn't initially even know we had.
- Over on The Gay Geek, Lyle dished on some YAOI scandal and what's gay at E3.

- We recapped the first episode of Project Runway Season 5, in which one of the seven gay contestants was sent packing.
- We reviewed some new gay summer books.
- Shear Genius managed to retain all its gays for another week.
- In How'd I Miss My Coming Out? Dan tried to make a dress. In third grade.
- Six gays on the new season of Top Design! But does anyone even care?
- On My Life on the D-List, Kathy's attempts to open a school in Mexico left her red-faced. Literally.
- We reviewed The Dark Knight, in which Heath Ledger delivers the performance of his career. Again.
- The Flying Monkey was back to answer reader questions.
- Vlogs!: We launched a fancy new Sordid Lives Vlog hosted by creator Del Shores and husband/star Jason Dottley. The Gay Agenda tackled that pesky "Obama is a terrorist, ha-ha!" New Yorker cover. And the OutFirst Authors series continued as John sat down with Broadway author Seth Rudetsky. And last but certainly not least, with a new season of Project Runway comes a new season of The Heidi Chronicles! In the first episode Jack and Kevin from Season 4 stop by.
- And thanks to associate editor Dennis Ayers, we had the Best.Gay.Week.Ever.
