CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

Uh oh, Valentine's Day is just around the corner. For some it's a wonderful holiday to celebrate the ones they love, for others its a nagging bundle of unnecessary anxiety, a candy coated tell-tale heart beating away under the floor boards of emotion.

Valentine's Day can often be a very confusing holiday - How soon is too soon to celebrate Valentines with a new lover? What do you when someone you love has a bad case of VD? And where do you stuff your emotions if you are all alone?

Move over Miss Manners, we've got etiquette expert Steven Petrow here to answer all your questions on relationships this Valentine's Day. Steven writes a column on manners for the Huffington Post and Daily Beast and maintains his Gay and Lesbian Manners website. He's got a great book on the subject- "The Essential Book of Gay Manners and Etiquette" on how to handle any sticky situation.

Steven offers some gift suggestions, ways to share the holiday with your social media friends and how to include the single people on this special day.

Join us as we talk about what do you do when your best friend is in a relationship with someone you hate? Who pays for dinner? Are roses are a terrible present?

And the beauty queen of mean Carrie Prejean is engaged to be opposite married to hunky quarterback Kyle Boller. What advice does Steven have for her?

Plus questions from the listeners.

Lifting Spirits
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

Oooh! Sarah Palin got caught cheating! The former VP candidate spoke for cool 100,000 dollars at this weekend's Tea Party convention.

During the Q&A session following her speech, Ms. Palin appeared to read a collection of nonsensical buzz words written on her hand like "Energy," "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits." Is this is how Sarah made it through college?

Our Chicago gal pal Tamale, part comedian, part burlesque star, 100% fabulous joins us to kick off our revamped YouTube video blog and take a look at the impact of social media on our lives.

Do you feel like you're drowning in the vast sea of status updates, twitters, podcast and blogs? Have you made new friends and lost old ones because of the internet?

Listen to show for this and all the hot news-

Tim Tebow's Teabagging ad and other Superbowl controversies.

The biggest open secret in the landmark Prop 8 trial in California is that Judge Vaugn Walker, the federal judge who will decide the case is gay!

A man builds a rocket to launch his snow sled with disastrous results.

Ten reasons not to let gays in the military.

Obama for Gay Marriage?
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

s Obama now saying he's for marriage equality? At yesterday's Prayer Breakfast held by the evil covert group known as "The Family," both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the organizations ties to the "kill gays" legislation in Uganda.

President Obama called the bill "odious" and remarkably stated "We may disagree about gay marriage, but surely we can agree that it is unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are -- whether it's here in the United States or ... most recently in Uganda." Well, if "The Family" is against gay marriage and he disagrees with them, does that means he's for it?

Blogger Michael Lehet joins us to take a look at the hot news:

Prada fashion model Nick Snider offers a "get out of jail free blow job" to police officers in Arkansas for a public intoxication arrest. Is this the way he broke into the business?

NBC Black History month Fried Chicken menu controversy.

The Chicago Field Museum's Bridal Party in Chicago- how gay will it get?

A woman stands trial for selling pierced cats online

A man was found mauled to death by the same dogs he saved from being put down for attacking humans.

And Oscar the Death Cat- a cat living in a nursing home predicted more than 50 deaths.

RuPaul's Drag Race

Start your engines! The new season of RuPaul's Drag Race is underway as twelve drag queens claw their way to the top to become "America's next drag superstar."

RuPaul calls this season's contestants "less diplomatic" than last years but what she really means is "they ghetto." It's Bad Girls Club on Testosterone with lots of glitter.

The large and in charge Mystique, in a delicious backstage fight with this weeks winner, Morgan McMichaels, screamed "I'm From Chicago and I Will Whoop Your Ass." And I believe her.

Jade Sotomayor, from the first season of the drag race joins us to talk about the changes in the show, give advice to the girls, and name the horse to bet on.

Plus all the hot news:

Chicken playing chicken with motorists in California.

Horny New Zealand parrot falls in love with a photographer's head

And churches behaving badly. Haiti's Prime Minister Max Bellerive considers having the Baptist Church baby snatchers face harsher justice in the U.S. since most of their court buildings were destroyed in the earthquake.

The Ladies of the Grammys
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

All eyes and ears were on the ladies at this year's Grammys as they dominated the top awards.

Lady Gaga didn't disappoint on the red carpet with her purple sparkly dress created in collaboration with Giorgio Armani.

She later opened the show in a fairy green getup with matching boots. In a wink-wink to her gay fans, Gaga sported pink triangles over her eyes to symbolize gay pride.

Although Gaga was the queen of fashion, Beyoncé ruled the awards ceremony with a record-breaking six wins by a female in one night, including best female pop performance and song of the year for "Single Ladies."

Listen as we talk live with the fans on all the hot entertainment news.

Why was Kanye nowhere to be seen? Taylor Swift's off-key duet with Stevie Nicks, did she put a spell on her? Pink's juicy acrobatic act and Elton John's fabulous charcoal covered duet with Lady Gaga.

Showgirls star Gina Gershon puts out a Children's Country Music album full of poop jokes.

Tiger Likes to Watch

Fausto Fernos in a stuiEverybody loves a well dressed man or woman, it seems Tiger Woods loves both.

This week Playboy model Loredana Jolie revealed in an interview that Tiger Woods is "not normal" because he enjoys having sex for long periods of time and loves watching guys and gals go gay for each other while he wears a suit.

And that's not normal? Madonna did it in the late 80s in her Express Yourself video. This is 2010, suit sex orgies should be ho hum by now.

But with so many critical issues happening today, should anyone care about Tiger's wood?

Join us as we talk about the hot news of the day:

Kirstie Allie is in another twitter flame war, this time with Joy Behar.

Barack Obama's State of the Union Address pledges to disarm the Gay Bomb that is Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Maxi iPads
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

Yesterday Apple announced their highly anticipated tablet computer which just may revolutionize newspapers, ebook readers and academic textbooks.

And they named it the iPad. The unfortunate name has gotten lots of laughs because it sounds like a feminine hygiene product, even prompting one newscaster to talk about her cooter on daytime news, almost.

Was the prophetic Mad TV sketch on to something 3 years ago when it parodied the iPod as an iPad?

Listen as the very funny Chris Condren joins us to sort through the jokes about the iPad going around online and the five stages of iPad grief.

Plus, all the hot news of the day.

The debate on whether the Mona Lisa was a self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci's in drag continues with exciting plans to exhume his head for a forensic analysis.

Europe's new cemetery for soccer fans. Will Star Trek, Showgirls or the Cubs fans get their own final resting place?

The World's Ugliest Fish might go extinct! Horatio the upside down goldfish, Johnny Weirs battle over wearing faux fur, and the world's ugliest fish in danger of extinction.

And now she can finally go into the light, actress Zelda Rubenstein best known for playing the eccentric psychic in the film ‘Poltergeist,’ died yesterday of natural causes, she was 76.

Bears Having Babies
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

It's a big day for trans folks as the International Olympic Committee met with the research scientists at Anacin and they've decided to allow for nuance with sexually ambiguous athletes and to treat their gender variance as a medical issue and not one of fairness in competition.

Move over Thomas Beatie, the bears having babies! Trans man Scott Moore announces he's pregnant! (Check out a web cam of a recent live bear birth- the animal bear, not the man)

Meanwhile, San Antonio native Ruben Valerio may be blind but that doesn't stop him from putting on a show as drag queen Alexis Nicole Whitney from the House of Whitney.

Hot news:

Apple is rumored to announce today a new tablet computer, new iPhones and a new version of their iLife software suite that may revolutionize the publishing industry. Will gay newspapers take advantage of the new platform or simply ignore it like the rest of new media?

Lukewarm anti-gay testimonies at the Proposition 8 trial.

Pope tells priests to go forth and blog.

And our review of the touring production of Dreamgirls, now in Chicago, plus backstage gossip!

Showgirls!
 

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW | SUBSCRIBE FOR FREE ON iTUNES

Audiences were horrified when the movie Showgirls came out in 1995. Critics hated director Paul Verhoven's misguided attempt to capture the seedy show business world of Las Vegas, and it bombed in theaters.

Today Showgirls is a celebrated cult classic and one of MGM's top selling DVD's of all time. In fact, the film's fan base is larger than ever and even the characters from the film enjoy a second life in the virtual world of Facebook as if the movie never ended.

You think you can do my nails for me now sugar?

The film centers on a sexy blond drifter Nomi Malone who hustles her way from pole dancing at a strip club to becoming the top showgirl at a casino in Las Vegas.

Although, many of the actors regret doing the film and will seldom speak of it, one actress, Rena Riffel, like all the fans has embraced the film's campy plot, freaky sexual encounters and outlandish scenes.

Today Rena Riffel, who plays the tragic stripper Penny Hope, joins us over the phone from California to dish the dirt on Showgirls and talk about her upcoming projects which includes a musical version of Showgirls!

Rena's working on her own soon to be released film "Trasharella: Ultra Vixen" about a starlet who becomes a super vixen to kill the evil Vampire of Hollywood.

Listen as Rena talks about working on Showgirls, watching it in the theater with Demi Moore and the cast of Striptease, how it was reborn as camp classic and what was the plot of the show within the show "Goddess" supposed to be?

We could have had anyone on this show: Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Rena Riffle is what Feast of Fun is all about! She's dazzling, she's exciting, and she's very, very sexy!
