Even though the next Project Runway season is only a few weeks away (it debuts sometime next month) anyone feeling a bit of withdrawal will get a fashion fix next week as Bravo's A-List Awards will include a charity action featuring Project Runway alums designing dresses for an octet of fabulous stars. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to UNICEF's efforts in Myanmar. Three gay Runway designers will be a part of the mix:

Chris March will be designing a dress for Make Me a Supermodel winner Holly Kiser.

Season two fave Nick Verreos will get to design a dress for gay fave Kathy Griffin.

Hairspay lead Nikki Blonsky will sport an outfit from early season three exit Malan Breton.

The rest of the celebrity list includes plenty of women on the gay pop culture radar including Sex and the City columnist Candace Bushnell (wearing a dress by Daniel Franco), Brothers & Sisters' Rebecca Budig (sporting a design by Alison Kelly), Mario Lopez' former Dancing with the Stars partner Katrina Smrnoff (modeling a Michael Knight design), model Nikki Taylor (paired with Laura Bennett) and tattoo artist Kat Von D (aptly wearing a dress by Sweet P).

As excited as I am, I'm a bit bummed that my all-time fave Diana Eng isn't on the list -- I would have loved to see her designing for a sci-fi diva like Sigourney Weaver. Still, the chance to see those designers together again has me a little bit excited, especially with "Uncle Nick", Chris and Malan coming back.

In a continued effort to bring you all that is important in the world of gay entertainment and ensure that you are being spoon-fed images of gorgeous, commoditized manflesh, we present the newly-minted AfterElton Briefs. Following the usual assortment of carefully-selected news items, interested readers can find a refreshing pic of a hot man in underwear after the jump. Yes, we're serious.

• Recently out Aussie entertainer Tim Campbell has been picked as the new host of their Wheel of Fortune. An out gay man hosting a major long-running game show ... one created by Merv Griffin, no less? Crazytalk.

• Victor Garber (Alias) and Douglas Smith (Big Love) will play assassinated SF mayor George Moscone and activist Paul Hogarth, respectively, in Gus Van Sant's Milk. This site offers up some pics of each, revealing some pretty savvy casting.

• Joe.My.God. braved NYC's Union Square to celebrate National Pillow Fight Day. (Disclaimer: No pillows were bitten in the making of this video)

• The Times magazine ran a fascinating (and lengthy!) piece on openly gay Mixed Martial Arts fighter Shad Smith, who lives with his boyfriend, parents and brother, had 46 counts of juvenile assault on his record, and is exceedingly good at Scrabble. (via Towleroad)

• The scamps as Good As You had some fun with Focus on the Family's new customizable website.

And today's Briefs are brought to you by...

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!

• Speculation about gay contestants on American Idol gets bigger and bigger as Danny Noriega gets cut.
• Project Runway's finale posted Bravo's best ratings 18-48. We not only spoke with winner Christian Siriano, but Chris March who came in fourth.
• Brent sacrificed himself to take a "revealing" look at the history or men's undies in the movies. Way to take one for the team, Brent! Then we both sacrificed ourselves by vlogging in our undies.
• The AfterElton Flying Monkey looked at bromances, gay subtext in cartoons and much more!
• Alec Baldwin discusses his younger, less talented, and and less good-looking younger brother's views on gay marriage.
• Of course, we recapped Torchwood even though there was no Janto action.)
• Max Mutchnick talked about Will & Grace, most notably not making straight people think about gay sex. Well, my!
• It turns out that Insightout Book Club isn't going out of business. Break out the bubbly!
• As the World Turns: Brian wonders if the show has jumped the shark and then ATWT proves him right by having Noah marry Ameera to keep her from being deported. If the Feds get wind of this, Noah might be joining his dad, Captain Pervy, in prison. Good times!
• Gay Ronnie is once again on the chopping block over on Make Me a Supermodel, but we'd bet anything he isn't going home. Prison Ben made up for last week's homophobic behavior by suggesting a little nuzzle with Ronnie. Now we forgive him.
• Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour is back for a second go around this summer.
• The U.K.'s AXM magazine asked the gays who they find hot. Personally, I think our readers have much better taste!
• And don't forget our cornucopia of vlogs including That's Antertainment!, Angry Puppy, and Idol Chat
  
• And as usual, with the help of Nate Berkus, As the World Turns' scoop and guessing who is gay on Pushing Daisies, ee had the Best.Gay.Week.Ever!

Finally, last we asked you to caption this photo and promised we would pick the best answer to post today. And the winner is...

"You'll never guess what's in the Secret Sauce"

Congratulations to Moviedearest! Be sure to drop your caption ideas for this week's picture in the comments, and have a great weekend!

It's coming down to the end, Heidi Chronicles watchers! With only three contestants left, John and Colin theorize on who's going to win and chat about Jillian's Long-Island family, Christian's closet-space and Chris March's hair-raising collection!

In fact, when they filmed John had just gotten off the phone with Chris M. himself to discuss his elimination and dish on the other contestants. Be sure to read the full interview!

Watch it all after the jump!
