Your Monday Morning "Everything Bagel!"

It's no secret that most of us loathe Monday mornings as if it's a combination of a statistics final exam, visit to the proctologist and having Fred Phelps dropping by for biscuits and tea. But AfterElton.com is nothing but a full service bakery and we want to help you transition back into the work week as gently as possible. 

With that in mind, we know you're probably reading this at work, a latte, herbal tea, or shot of vodka at hand as you dread the week ahead. (Or perhaps I'm projecting!)

The fact is, you're just not ready to get started yet.

So to help you pass the time before you can face your insane boss/co-workers/customers, we've decided every Monday morning we're going to present you with an "Everything Bagel" roundup of news items, tidbits and pictures you might have missed over the weekend to help you forestall the inevitable!

And if's it any consolation, our Monday mornings start Sunday afternoon!

• The Hollywood Reporter on Bruno: We all knew Borat. Borat was a friend of ours. Bruno, you're no Borat. 

• Americablog discusses "Democrats and Political Homophobia."

• The Canberra Raiders beat the Melbourne Storm but not before Cameron Smith tried to depants Josh Dugan.

Cameron to self: Must not look! Must not look! Well, maybe a peek...

• The Advocate looks at 40 years of covers.

• On the anniversary of Stonewall, gay ally Frank Rich of The New York Times says "40 Years Later, Still Second-Class Americans." Sadly, it's impossible to disagree.

• CNN speaks to children of the "Gayby Boom" generation, including a Republican activist "who says he believes in family values, small government and his lesbian mothers' right to marry."

• Adam Lambert and Kris Allen chat about their close friendship and possibly recording together.

• We all know if you scream in space, no one hears. But what happens if you set your TV show in space and no one watches? Ronald D. Moore and the cast of Virtuality are about to find out as ratings for the two-hour movie Friday night su-u-u-cked.
