This week, we welcome Metro Weekly magazine publisher/editor Randy Shulman to the studio. A longtime movie reviewer, he brings along his picks for this weekend\'s Academy Awards. And he\'s as confused as we all are with many of this year\'s nominations. For one, Melissa McCarthy for Bridesmaids, asking, "...she\'s been nominated for pooping in a sink?"

If you\'re in the Washington, DC area this Sunday, go watch the Oscars at Town Danceboutique with Randy, an event to support the DC Center. It\'s called, Glammer, Glitter & Gold. Catch Randy and the Oscar segment at the 37:50 mark.

Then, we\'ve got our very good friend Sherry Vine via Skype. We catch up with her about her upcoming big weekend: Her television variety show She\'s Living For This premieres on hereTV this Friday, February 24 and she celebrates her 20th anniversary as Sherry at NYC\'s Barracuda this Sunday, February 26. We can never get enough of our global parody queen...and we have her latest song that she recorded with the great Pandora Boxx, a parody of Madonna\'s Give Me All Your Love, now called, Give Me All Your Muff...of course. Sherry kicks in at the 1:10:50 mark.

We also welcome Justin Luke, our Gay on the Ground in New York City, back for a second week in a row! Live from the streets of Hell\'s Kitchen, he chats with B Magazine publisher Peter Ian Cummings. He talks about the magazine\'s 18-35 year old demographic, standing up for peoples\' rights to express their sexuality, how he thinks gay people are fundamentally different than straight people (it\'s not just who we sleep with, he says), his thoughts on the mainstream press and their coverage of the gays, his rant against smoking and drinking, and much more. It\'s a fun, slightly controversial conversation we think you\'ll dig. Justin and Peter start at the 1:26:35 mark.

All that, plus all of our signature brand of pop culture & gay news commentary, including Scott & Steve\'s separate trips to New York City where they saw Broadway\'s Priscilla Queen of the Desert (see it!); Madonna\'s tour; Whitney\'s funeral; our love of actress Kristen Bell; Chris Brown & Rihanna back together; Ricky Martin\'s Details interview; more about NBC\'s Smash; and, we announce our newest Twitter winner. Listen to all the fun and you could be a winner, too!
