Katy Perry just revealed that Russell Brand broke up with her via text and and the two have not spoken since their divorce in 2011. Although the pop star takes ownership for why the marriage failed, Russell did himself a great disservice by taking the most impersonal way out of the relationship.

Today we’re taking a look at how to end any relationship with a little grace and dignity. Why it’s so important to put your emotions aside for a moment so you can walk away from any relationship, whether it be friends, work, family or for love.

Man of Steel, the new Superman reboot opened in theaters over the weekend, to the sweet tune of $125 million, guaranteeing more sexy movies featuring the muscular Henry Cavill saving the day.

Oh Henry! Who knew that people would flock to see scruffy, muscular handsome actors as superheroes?

Despite showing a sexier side of Superman, the film wastes no time comparing the Man of Steel to Jesus. Even churches are using the new film to bring people back to the pews.

Joining us today is comic book enthusiast Brian Sweeney and comic book publisher Zan Christensen to take a look at all the sexy, ridiculous, weird things about the new Man of Steel film.

We’re looking forward to the reboot of the gender switching Superman.

As a little tomboy, comedian Brianna Baker felt pressure to use the boy’s bathroom in order to avoid people’s outrage. Her over the top grandmother Phyllis even offered her $200 to dress up like a lady. Ironically, this little girl that passed for boy grew up to be a tall gorgeous woman.

“Act of Parliament” or “Jerkin’ the Gherkin” aims to draw attention to to how the governement is influenced by the financial sector.

Artist’s statement:

“We have turned the Gherkin into the worlds tallest dick.

Kitt Shapiro with her late great mom Eartha Kitt.

The late great Eartha Kitt is probably best remembered for her role as the iconic Catwoman in the 1960s TV show Batman as well as for her provocative songs “Santa Baby” and “I Want to Be Evil.”

Everybody wanted to be evil when Eartha Kitt played Catwoman.

Coming from humble origins in South Carolina, Eartha Kitt grew up to tour the world as a young dancer but it was the Broadway show “New Faces of 1952″ that catapulted her career into the mainstream.

As a champion of civil rights, Eartha Kitt didn’t hold back when she spoke out against the Vietnam War and that tenacity got her blacklisted in the U.S. for years. Eartha took her show all over the world, and along for the ride, was her daughter Kitt, who Eartha took everywhere.

Eartha and her baby girl Kitt.

Joining us today is Kitt Shapiro, who is now dedicating her life to preserving her mother’s legacy by starting Simply Eartha, a lifestyle brand that uses the images, writings and wisdom of Eartha Kitt to inspire both old and new fans.

Eartha once said “The only thing I can sell and still own is my talent.” That and albums, CDs, posters, coasters, canvas wall art, and crystal paperweights.

Listen as we talk with Kitt about her mom’s peculiar way of speaking, Eartha’s outrageously fun music and what it was like to work for her mom for over 25 years.

People are madly in love with their coffee. Over half of all Americans start their day with a cup of coffee and many of those folks drink at least two cups every day. Coffee is a huge business generating 4 billion dollars in annual revenue in the U.S. alone, and Starbucks gets to keep a third of that money.

For a brief moment Ever Mainard hosted Chit Chatting, a talk show which featured a gigantic turquoise bowl to puke in, in case shit got real.

But hold on, climate change, unsustainable practices and rising demand means that humble coffee bean, as we know will disappear in 70 years and in the next decade prices will skyrocket.

Will there one day be riots in the streets over a cup of coffee?

Enjoy that cup of coffee now, for it might be your last.

The late great Richard Pryor is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time. He changed comedy forever with his dark humor, an authentic reflection of the bordello he grew up in. Richard Pryor put taboo words into the mainstream of comedy.

It was much to our delight to find out that his first born son, Richard Pryor Jr. grew up to be a fabulous gay man and a fierce drag queen.

Yes gawd nessa! Richard Pryor Jr as Ivanna Schtup. This is one queen that would read you to shreds.

Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 may not have won the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar, but there is no sashaying away from the fame and fan base that she’s worked so hard to build.

At the taping of the season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race, it’s hard for anyone to outshine a room full of the nation’s top drag queens, but Detox from Season 5 outdid them all by showing up in a fierce black and white style make-up.

These are NOT black and white photos, but in full color. That is how she looked. I can’t wait to see how this translates to television.

It’s truly amazing. I mean, look at her wig. Even the highlights are in black and white!

In Victorian era rich people were unnerved by the rise of the upper middle class. The old money types turned to charm schools and etiquette experts as a way to to set themselves apart from the unwashed masses.

One of the strangest of these etiquette experts was Amy Vanderbilt, who in her book The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette gave some very unusual advice on relationships, courtesy and money.

Today we’re joined by comedy writer Robyn Pennacchia to talk about the advice Amy Vanderbilt gave out back in the 50s which seems strange by today’s standards.

Amy Vanderbilt even had advice on how to hide those pesky food smells at dinner parties:

Smoking for kids, corn on the cob controversy, sex with strangers and what kind of clothes should you wear when you meet the Pope?

It takes a village to dress a drag queen. Behind every fierce drag queen there’s an even fiercer queen helping her to look her best.

For years Steven Perfidia Kirkham has styled wigs for some of Broadway’s biggest shows and many of your favorite drag queens and entertainers. Steven created the unusual hair flip for Amy Sedaris’ character Jerri Blank on the second season of Strangers with Candy and he also created the new look for Chairry and Ms. Yvonne on the Broadway production of Pee Wee’s Playhouse.

He built Jerri Blank’s swoop. The man deserves a Nobel Prize in wigs.

Today Perfidia, wig stylist to the stars, joins us to talk about all the glorious big wigs from Lady Bunny to RuPaul, and what it was like in the Wigstock and Club Kid scenes of the 90s.

When The Rocky Horror Picture Show came out in theaters in 1975, it was a flop. Audiences didn’t quite know what to make of the film adaptation of The Rocky Horror Show, a kooky musical that featured Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad transexual scientist from outer space who builds himself a sexy Frankenstein monster named Rocky.

Thankfully, one low-level movie executive decided to market the film again as a midnight movie event, and the rest is cinematic history. Rocky Horror Picture Show became the longest-running theatrical film release ever. and is one of the top money making films for 20th Century Fox.

But more more importantly, for many LGBT folks, going to see the wild midnight movie screenings was a moment in their young lives where they were able to explore their sexual identifies for the first time.

And audiences could throw popcorn at the movie screen without getting kicked out.

Today Peaches Christ joins us on a behind the scenes tour of one of the greatest films ever made, the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Finally Peaches Christ will ask Magenta- why did you sing like that in the movie?

Did you know Mick Jagger was originally cast in the role of Dr. Frankenfurter?

No one can stop Mick Jagger from being a sweet transvestite.

Whatever happened to the cast of the film?

Don’t dream it, be it. Richard O’Brien still enjoys being a sweet transvestite today.
