Luxuria is Italy's first drag queen to run for parliament.

The Pentagon has launched a new initiative aimed at creating more happy couples. The program, called "How To Avoid Marrying a Jerk," aims to teach troops the correct way to choose a spouse. The Defense Department says that more than 56,000 people in the Army have divorced since 2001, when the Afghanistan campaign began. Those numbers show that strain of war, distance and long period of time spent apart have taken their toll on troops' relationships.
