KISS stopped by the Ed Sullivan Theater Tuesday night to turn The Late Show with David Letterman into a pyrotechnic extravaganza. Letterman introduced the band by saying, “Our next guests are here to blow the roof off the dump, ladies and gentlemen.” The legendary rock band played the first single off their new album Sonic Boom, the band’s first release in over 10 years.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

[Mail Online] If you’ve ever been around Wrigleyville after a Cubs game, you know that guys tend to act one of three ways after a night of heavy drinking. They either (a) hit on everything that moves, (b) bury their face in late night eats, or (c) go looking for a fight. Two men in South Wales who perscribed to the latter form of post-bar celebration caught quite a surprise the other night after pub crawling around the popular Kingsway district in Swansea.

After getting into a small brawl with a group outside of a bar, they started yelling obsenities at two cross-dressing men in high heels out for a night on the town. What seemed like a good idea to the drunkards at the time quickly turned terrible when the cross-dressers turned out to be cage fighters in drag.

After pushing one of the transvestites, the other cross-dressing companion busted out two “lightning quick” punches dropping both of the assaliants to the ground before they could figure out what happened.

The transvestites continued on down the road and the two stunned men were sentenced to four-month community order and forced to adhere to a strict 7pm-7am curfew.

Fast forward the video above to 1:10 to see them get dropped by the drag queens. Awesome.

We’ve got a great idea too. It involves making baseball hats… but they’re also ponchos. Who wants to give us some money?
