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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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?

Although the War on Drugs began during the Nixon Administraiton during the 70s, it was only until the 1980s when Republicans retook the White House that political attention against drugs was directed away from hippies and towards suburban school children.

A lot of money was wasted on campaigns which ironically got kids to try drugs by putting the idea in their heads in the first place. On top of that, there were cringe worthy celebrity public service announcements that made us all want to get high.

Since the very beginning of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Alaska sent in her audition tapes, working hard to convince the producers of the show that she’s got what it takes to be America’s Next Drag Superstar.

In LA most recording sessions take place by the pool.

Of all the jobs gay men love to do, being a flight attendant is probably one of the hardest.

Although everyone thinks they’re just passing out snacks, waving at people as the get off the plane and traveling to exciting destinations, but the reality is that flight attendants are exposed to crazy passengers, terrorist threats, cosmic radiation and so many infectious diseases that the CDC has a special division dedicated to keeping an eye on their job alone.

So why are there so many gay male flight attendants? Today we’re joined by historian Phil Tiemeyer whose new book Plane Queer: Labor, Sexuality, and AIDS in the History of Male Flight Attendants chronicles the fabulous history of men who fly the friendly skies.
