AfterElton Snapshot: Your extra recovery day for this Labor Day weekend

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!

And special program note: We'll be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday here in the U.S. Don't miss us too much! 

• Big Gay News of the week: Out gay diver Matthew Mitcham wins the gold medal and breaks Olympic records with his perfect dive. Mainstream press fails to notice. NBC apologizes for their lack of coverage.
• We unleashed our Gay TV Preview for the fall season, and whipped up a handy-dandy Gay TV Grid to go with it. Gentlemen, set your TiVos!
• Gaydar is real! Um ... kinda!
• We discussed the ridiculous AFA ban on Hallmark due to their gay-inclusive wedding cards.
• Tyrese Gibson plays a gay stunt driver in Death Race ... just don't tell Tyrese that.

• Gay soaps! Over on Forbidden Love, Christian and Olli were floored when the charges against Axel were dropped, and they called in their friends for help in getting the story out. And on As the World Turns, Luke isn't backing down on his beef with Grandma's new beau, and the boys had a very sweet moment where they revisited their first kiss. And on Hollyoaks, J.P. and Kieron navigated their engagement with family and friends.
• The first still from prison romance I Love You Phillip Morris is ... interesting.
• We ran the first pics of Lance Bass and Lacey rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars.
  
• Survivor: Gabon has a gay lawyer in the cast named Charlie. And he's a button!
• The Janice Dickinson Modeling agency is back and as crazy as ever. Actually, crazier.
• In The Gay Geek, Lyle dished on the conclusion of the recent troubling Colossus/Northstar arc in Ultimate X-Men, and looked at what's gay about some upcoming superhero movie news.

Lance and Lacey

• The Flying Monkey was back to answer reader questions.

• Vlogs!: I sat down with Project Runway's Chris March to discuss the Drag Queen Challenge for The Heidi Chronicles, and Mores for Gays tackled the touchy subject of urinal etiquette. 
• And thanks to associate editor Dennis Ayers, we had the Best.Gay.Week.Ever.
