AfterElton Snapshot: Your sure thing for this Memorial 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 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!
- Big Gay News of the Week: Adam Lambertpalooza! We asked if America is ready for a gay Idol. America answered "No" ... well, apparently not this one, anyway. But he may have changed the way that the mainstream media covers gay or maybe-gay people. And new BFFs Lambert and charmingly parallelogram-mouthed winner Kris Allen legitimately seem to like one another a lot, and shot down theories of biased voting.
- Great Gay Summer Movie Hope Taking Woodstock drew a lackluster response at Cannes.
- We brought you some pics from Sunday's AIDS Walk in NYC, as well as the Broadway Impact marriage equality rally.
- Eurovision wrapped up in typically bad-chicken-induced-feverdream-enhanced fashion. And should out host Graham Norton have done something in light of the anti-gay policies and repression of protesters in the host city?
- Greek put Calvin front-and-center (finally!) with a brilliant episode about straight guys who flirt with gay guys to make themselves feel more attractive.
- I didn't think I could love Ryan Reynolds more than I already do, I really didn't. Then that bitch Betty White had to come along and ruin everything!!
Y&R's Yani Gellman and Michael Muhney
- Gay soaps! Our Gays of Our Lives column chatted with incoming Greek hottie Gregory Michael about his newest gay role, and scooped and spoiled like there's no tomorrow. And a last-minute casting switch on Young & Restless pointed to an actor's discomfort with kissing another guy.
- So what is this Johnny Weir Pop Star on Ice movie about, anyway? Maybe everything but his sexuality?
- The next season of The Real World will feature another out gay guy. And it'll be in Cancun, meaning it will feature even MORE shirtlessness!
- Jake's Take tackled hunting bear with straight guys on Out of the Wild. (Hey, I've taken my brother to The Eagle before, does that count?) Plus, Jake talked about coming out in some behind-the-scenes clips.
- How gleeful were we over the Glee pilot? Fairly. And you?
- A San Diego school censored a sixth-grader's report on Harvey Milk. I guess that's their way of wishing him a happy birthday?

- So You Think You Can Be Homophobic and Juvenile and not get called out on it? Nigel Lythgoe apparently thinks so.
- The ladies, they like-a the gay: Check out the Ladies' Choice Hot 50!
- So what's gay on TV this fall, and which night will be over-taxing your DVR? Here's the rundown from the network upfronts.
- 30 Rock delivered an amusingly gay-happy capper to a solid season.
- The Flying Monkey answered questions about Dom DeLouise, John Schneider and more.
- Check out some red carpet hotness and the winners of the 2009 NewNowNext Awards.
Officer John Cooper and "friend" on Southland
- Southland wrapped up its freshman season with a slam-bam finale and another inch of closet door opening for Officer John Cooper. What did you think?
- VLOGS! Gay in the UK brought us "A Day in Hand", an international day against homophobia that asks folks to hold hands in public. And Mores for Gays tackled gay fashion faux pas. (Pases? Pasi?) And finally, we launched a brand-spankin' new vlog series, Beautiful Moments with Simon Doonan, in which the noted style expert shares fabulous tips and juicy stories about the real man behind Beautiful People.
- Brüno is coming. Prepare yourself.
- Check out the first episode of the upcoming gay-inclusive Showtime series Nurse Jackie and tell us what you think.
- And thanks to a newsy Michael Jensen, we had the BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER ... we'll be back on Tuesday with all your regularly-scheduled gayness!

"His plastic surgeon doesn't want him doing any activity where balls fly at his nose."
Thanks to jofi for this week's winning caption!
