A deep look at Madonna

We had a blast talking all things Madonna with Melissa in September 2009 that we thought might enjoy hearing it again-

For almost three decades, Madonna has captured the imagination of the public by identifying where we needed to be pushed and ooh ooh, taking us there like a prayer.

Whether you’re crazy for her or annoyed by her expressing herself, you can’t deny the impact this beautiful stranger has had on all of us.

Today we dedicate the first part of our show to Madonna- the woman, the iconoclast, the musician.

Campy musician Melissa Young talks about gay divas on Feast of FunCabaret singer and Madonna expert Melissa Young joins us before she sets off on her own “Lucky Star” tour- a one woman show dedicated to the life and music of Madonna.

Madonna’s new video for her song “Celebration” does it right, featuring her die-hard fans videotaped at her concerts dancing to the beat. But the big highlight is the pop diva’s baby girl, Lourdes, all grown up and wearing the wedding dress big momma wore in her 80s video “Like a Virgin.”

Plus, Madonna’s gay brother Christopher Ciconne insults her latest hairstyle on TV- is he keeping it real or is he just really jealous?

Also in the news-

Terrible Patrick Swayze, Kanye West joke that’s involves Michael Jackson that’s making the rounds online

The touching and colorful promise to a dead solider.

True Blood Hunk for gay marriage.

Hollywood gay gossip from the 1950s.[via]

And we mourn the loss of musician Mary Travers and comedian Henry Gibson.

Marc Felion, Bill Cruz and Fausto Fernós at the We Are the World 25 for Haiti

It’s always a good time with Bill Cruz. Although pretty much everyone loves our comedian friend Bill, he was overlooked in a popular magazine’s recent list of Chicago’s 20 funniest comedians. Even though he didn’t make the controversial list, he was still picked to be with the “elite 20″ in a showcase for the big wigs of comedy.

Bill impressed the powers that be so much that next week he’s recording his debut comedy album “Bill Cruz: Athletic Supporter.”

Join us as we chat with Bill about surviving the underwhelming aftermath of the earthquake in Chicago and what’s really rocking our world, the unsettling new Facebook’s redesign. To celebrate their anniversary, Facebook shut off a lot of functionality users enjoyed in a site-wide revamp. Will the social media giant fall like it’s rival MySpace?

Plus Aretha Franklin is back with a candy bar commercial taped in the back seat of a car.

cyndi-lauper Lady Gaga Barbie Dolls

Condoms for Owls

Using the power of Jesus to fight crime.

And Celine Dion steals Cyndi Lauper’s spot as she was selected to replace her in the remake of the 80s pop hit – We are the World.

Is Cyndi doomed to be the Charlie Brown of pop divas?

Steve Jobs and Chris Condren

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.

FOF #1131 – Payback is a Bytch

The popular online community 4chan declared YouTube Porn Day, asking people to upload innocent looking videos mixed with porn images to extract revenge on behalf of a little boy whose account was yanked.

Adam Guerino joins us with the Puterbaugh sisters to talk about auditioning for insane reality TV, fake jingles and recreating SNL skits as kids. Plus: Eartha Kitt as Lady Gaga, Kirstie Alley tells a gay blogger to go suck one, Celebrity Nut Grabs and Jane Lynch is getting married!

Puterbaugh Sisters

Here’s some free advice. Don’t poke beehives with a stick. Youtube did it when it shut down eight year old Luke Taylor’s Lukeywes1234 account for supposedly violating the terms of service by not being of age.

The popular online community 4chan declared January 6th to be YouTube Porn Day to extract revenge on behalf of the little boy by asking everyone to upload innocent looking videos mixed with grotesque porn images to make the video sharing giant working overtime to take it down.

The way YouTube reacts to things like this makes me think it’s run by a handful of petty, immature people.

We’re not sure if the prank had any impact, but I’m personally hoping it sent a message to Google to allow users who have had their accounts or videos taken down unfairly to be able to do something about it. How about offering phone or email support for a small fee like Apple does for all their products? I shudder to know what tech support for the Nexus One is like.

Adam Guerino joins us with his gal pals Danielle and Tiffany, the Puterbaugh sisters join us to talk about auditioning for insane reality TV shows, fake jingles and recreating Saturday Night Life skits as children at a strip mall in Columbus Ohio.

Eartha Kitt as Lady Gaga

Kirstie Alley tells a gay blogger to go suck one.

Celebrity Nut Grabs going both ways.

And congratulations to Jane Lynch- the star of Glee is getting married to her longtime girlfriend, Dr. Lara Embry.

Comedian Lizz Winstead

The Golden Globes awards ceremony recognizes outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry, but because it’s also a dinner party, it’s a great excuse to see drunk celebrities and laugh at their tragic fashion choices.

Lizz Winstead in her living roomThe hilarious Lizz Winstead joins us today to dish about tweeting the entire Golden Globes from her cozy couch with her two dogs in New York City. Why does director James Cameron look like Bea Arthur? How fast is Mo’nique’s wild ride from God? Why were so many winning shows and movies so depressing? Will the Oscars be as tragic?

As a co-founder of the popular Daily Show, Lizz has a unique perspective on the ongoing late night talk show wars. Should Coco and the Chin ditch TV and just start their own podcasts?

As a talk show host herself, Lizz has had some strange encounters with guests, including two respected writers from Jezebel, Tracie Egan, and Moe Tkacik, who appeared to be intoxicated on her show and were glib and dismissive about sexual assault. The two later claimed they were set up for a “gotcha” moment which Lizz denies. Boy do we feel Lizz’s pain!

Lizz also tells us how she gave MSNBC anchor and lesbian media darling Rachel Maddow her first big break on Air America.

Also hot news:
Zombie twitter accounts.

The crisis in Haiti continues.

Roller coaster grandmas.

And Lizz’s hilarious list of political slogans for Massachusetts teabagger centerfold Scott Brown.

Cameron Esposito as a Barbarian, Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion

Prepare to die! From laughter that is, as we recreate one of the campiest scenes from Conan the Barbarian, the movie that launched the career of 1970s bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Following in Arnold’s footsteps, Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz is hitting the gym hard in hopes of getting cast in the title role in a remake of the action/adventure film. Maybe, one day he’ll be the Governor of California or even President of the United States. Hail to the Sexy!

Listen as Cameron Esposito joins us to talk about her upcoming comedy album, being roasted by her comedian friends and the fight for marriage equality.

The battle of the millionaire tv tycoons goes on as Conan O’Brien may settle out of court with NBC for a rumored 30 million dollars. Ironic since the battle has been great for ratings of his show, not Jay Leno’s.

In the news:
The floor in Weight Watchers Clinic collapses during weigh-in.

The 33 year old pet snowball kept in a freezer in Florida.

The liquid diamond lakes of Neptune and Uranus,

And Markus, the first legal male prostitute in the state of Nevada compares himself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks in an interview with Details Magazine.

Best Church of God Mike Descoteaux and Andrew Ritter

Jesus is so gay for you, but are you gay for him? In Revelation 3:20 Jesus said: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.”

That’s nice, but does he buy you dinner first?

President Obama finally moves forward to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, the unpopular military ban on gay folk serving openly. Will we see recruitment campaigns in gay bars in the near future?

NewYears-web-JAN2010

Dr. Oz made a bold statement. This New Year, why not try something new? Eat often, sleep as much as you can and have sex all the time. Has Oprah’s doctor lost his mind?

The very raunchy Mike David and Kyle Lane from Red Bar Radio join us to talk about their new years resolutions. And surprise, it’s a little off the wall.

We’re way into fermented foods- kombucha, yogurt and sauerkraut. If it’s rotten, we’re eating it!

The Darwin Award winners have been announced! Named after Charles Darwin to “commemorate those who improve our gene pool… by removing themselves from it,” the awards are given out annually to people who die in stupid ways without leaving any descendants.

Is Megan Mullally selling out to women with breast cancer with her tacky margarine ad?

And a publicity campaign that may backfire, a dating website for “Beautiful People” dumps 5,000 of its members for gaining weight over the holidays.
