RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 has announced its roster of guest judges, and they're all about to have a Wicked good time.

"The witches will see you now!" Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande declare in unison as they surprise the returning contestants in the Werk Room. In the new trailer (watch below), the Wicked movie stars are also seen on the judges' panel where they say, "It's good to see us, isn't it? No need to respond — that was rhetorical." Erivo was previously a guest judge in Season 13, while Grande popped up in Seasons 7 and 15.

Earlier this year, Wicked received 10 Oscar nominations, including Erivo in Best Actress and Grande in Best Supporting Actress. The film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical won two trophies for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. The sequel, Wicked: For Good, will debut in theaters Nov. 21.

If size matters, then the milestone 10th season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars will be its best ever.

A whopping 18 former queens, the most in the franchise's herstory, will return to take part in the inaugural tournament-style installment over 12 episodes. Dubbed the "Tournament of All Stars," the contestants will be divided into three groups of six, each competing in their own bracket across three episodes. Meet the cast below or see the cast photos above.

At the end of each bracket, the top three all stars with the highest point totals will advance to the semifinals where they’ll go head-to-head with the other two groups' top queens. After two episodes of semifinals, the tournament will then culminate in an epic "Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown" finale episode. The solo winner will take home a grand prize of $200,000 and earn a place in the coveted Drag Race Hall of Fame.

Sam Star is a darling Southern Belle of the season, hailing from Alabama. As the drag daughter of a legend of the drag pageant scene and a former winner of RuPaul'sDrag Race, Sam Star has been under great tutelage, and Trinity the Tuck trained her well. Sam Star has brought the polish, poise, and passion necessary for the pageant world to Drag Race. Though some may see it as off-putting, it's just a facade a pageant queen needs to have.

Wes Bergmann says he is “begging” The Challenge fans to stop making hurtful remarks about his newer castmates.

The two-time MTV champion and All Stars 3 winner announced his retirement from the show during The Challenge: USA 2 spin-off season.

While that meant he wasn’t part of the epic 40-person cast for MTV’s Season 40, Battle of the Eras, he has since appeared on other reality shows.

He recently shared a message expressing his love and adoration of The Challenge fandom, who constantly root for him to return to the competition series.

However, he said some online comments have become too much as they are “crossing the line” towards “hurting” individuals from other reality shows.

“I want the world to think of The Challenge fandom as three main things: competitive, funny, and good sports. When you trash those from other shows out of a sense of loyalty to me, you’re not doing right by anyone,...

Katy Perry always knows how to make an entrance, so when she sashayed into the Werk Room for the Season 17 premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race, she did it on the balls of her feet. Literally.

The former American Idol judge made her Werk Room debut on Friday in a jaw-dropping pair of “dick heel” boots, which get their name from… you know what, it’s probably just better if we show it to you:

RuPaul’s Dragcon returns to the Los Angeles Convention, July 19-20, for two days of events ranging from Meet and Greets, photo ops, cast reunions, and booth signings.

RuPaul opened the fan-favorite event with Michele Visage and drag stars at the ceremonious pink ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday morning and followed with a DJ set.

The Queens Walk kicked off the party, the drag world’s equivalent of the Met Gala, as renowned queens from “Drag Race” including Nymphia Wind, Jimbo, Aquaria, Trinity the Tuck, Alaska, Blu Hydrangea, Ra’Jah O’Hara, Marina Summers, Gotmik and more, peacocked their best attires on the main stage.

Michelle Visage will host live tapings from the event including “Bring Back My Girls,” hosted by Ts Madison, and “Hey Qween!”, “Live From The Pink Carpet,” and the newly announced “Touch Ups” with Raven, with extra special guest, Jimbo. All tapings will air exclusively on Wow Presents Plus later this year.

“There’s some whores in this house!” blasts from the speakers. The stage lights brighten, and the queens strut out onstage. In Jem Garrard’s camp classic Slay, a Tubi original that dropped earlier this year, four drag queens – Mama Sue Flay (Trinity the Tuck), Robin Banks (Heidi N Closet), Bella Da Boys (Crystal Methyd), and Olive Wood (Cara Melle) – descend upon a sleazy redneck dive to deliver the performance of their lives.

Set to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wap,” the salacious musical number bursts at the seams with the magic of queerness, drag performance, and community. As our dolled-up and dazzling quartet flits and flutters around the stage, the crowd looks on in both wonder and disgust. While country bumpkins like Travis (Daniel Janks) wrinkle their noses and scoff in between chugs of beer, bar regular Shiela (Robyn Scott) applauds the performance and even expresses her jealousy.

RuPaul’s DragCon LA 2024 has officially begun! Earlier today, the cowboy hat-wearing RuPaul Charles opened the festivities at the Los Angeles Convention Center with the ceremonial cutting of the pink ribbon. “Fabulous! Have a good time. I love you,” the Queen of Drag told his adoring crowd while still holding the enormous pink scissors. RuPaul’s co-producer and co-judge Michelle Visage stood beside him, and they were flanked by dozens of drag queens from the American version of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” plus many other worldwide installments. Watch the ribbon cutting video below:

Once again, the convention’s festivities are presented by World of Wonder Productions and its co-founders, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. This year’s theme is the “hottest ever” … and we’re assuming that refers to the sizzling talent that’ll be on-hand rather than the California weather.

The world’s largest celebration of drag culture is just days away, so get ready to sashay your way to the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The 2024 edition of RuPaul’s DragCon LA will take place over two days: Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20. Once again, it’s presented by World of Wonder Productions and its co-founders, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. This year’s theme is the “hottest ever” … and we’re assuming that refers to the sizzling talent that’ll be on-hand rather than the California weather.

Attendees of RuPaul’s DragCon LA will be able to experience signings, meet and greets, photo opps, mainstage performances, a DJ set with RuPaul Charles (Friday only), 300 unique vendors for shopping and merchandise, and more. Judges Michelle Visage and Ts Madison will also appear, as well as “pit crew” model Bruno Alcantara and celebs like Daniel Franzese and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho.

The ninth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” promises a major shake-up to the classic formula when it premieres on Friday, May 17, 2024 on Paramount Plus. For the first time ever, the eight returning contestants will be competing not for their own prize money, but for a $200,000 donation to the charity of their choice. Also of note, these Season 9 queens will never be at risk of elimination, which follows the structure previously seen on Season 7 (the all-winners cycle).

For three of the competitors, this will be their third time taking part on a “Drag Race” installment; the other five are all back for their second time. Who is Your favorite queen from this group?

RuPaul’s DragCon is the largest celebration of drag culture in the world, that brings “all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to tens of thousands of attendees, with hundreds of the world’s top drag queens from across the globe mixing and mingling with fans of all backgrounds.”

DragCon LA 2024 promises signings and meet and greets with your favorite Queens, “fierce mainstage performances throughout the weekend, exclusive programming, wig-snatching merch, immersive activations from RuPaul’s Drag Race and Wow Presents Plus shows, and more.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race is more than just your typical reality TV competition series; it has evolved into a cultural phenomenon. The show has crowned numerous superstar drag queens who have stomped through the Werk Room, with over 100 queens competing for the highest honor in the world of drag.

Hosted by RuPaul Charles, it celebrates the artistic prowess of drag queens from diverse backgrounds and offers a glimpse into the lives of contestants who courageously share their tales of resilience in the face of discrimination and prejudice.

Since its debut in 2009, the show has consistently delivered iconic television moments, with episodes challenging contestants to showcase their ‘charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.’ Even if one doesn’t snatch the crown as the season’s winner, there’s still the opportunity to secure a coveted place in the ‘Drag Race Hall of Fame’ through RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.

Now available on Tubi, Donia Kash stars alongside Heidi N Closet, Cara Melle, Trinity the Tuck and Crystal Methyd in Slay, a Tubi Original horror-comedy that is available to watch right now. In our latest Q&a, Donia talks about their interest in the role, the experience on set, and their love of vampire movies!

How did you first get involved with Slay and what interested you in the role of Jax?

Jem Garrard was looking for a non-binary performer who could do both horror genre and still have that fast-paced comedic energy that Jax brings to Slay. I just so happened to have auditioned for them on a different project and never imagined that Jax was the character I would get to play. They’re a character that has such Fan-Them energy that also lives inside me but they totally geek out in an extroverted way seeing the queens.

The maxi challenges are key in determining the top competitors each week on RuPaul's Drag Race. Past winners like Latrice Royale and BeBe Zahara Benet have proven their talent with four wins each. Trinity the Tuck has dominated the competition with an impressive 11 maxi challenge wins, making her the ultimate queen.

Over the years, RuPaul’s Drag Race has brought charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to our TVs. After many Drag Race seasons and All Stars spin-offs, this is one of the best reality shows of all time, with nearly two dozen Emmy Award nominations and nine wins. Often referred to as the ‘Olympics of Drag,’ RuPaul’s Drag Race puts fierce queens to the test, with challenges that range from acting to sewing, from doing stand-up comedy to writing lyrics. These contestants are often their own designers, models, makeup artists, choreographers, and writers.

Drag Race fans know that maxi challenges are...

Stars: Trinity The Tuck, Heidi N Closet, Crystal Methyd, Cara Melle, Neil Sandilands, Donia Kash, Gabriel Harry Meltz, Daniel Janks, Gustav Rossouw | Written and Directed by Jem Garrard

At a time when hate and intolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community is on the rise, I wanted to write a horror comedy with heart that showcased drag queens and queers as the heroes. Drag queens have always been a symbol of resistance and resilience, so seeing them kick-ass against a bunch of blood-sucking vampires felt like a comical, yet pointed allegory.

– Jem Garrard, writer/director, Slay

Slay is what you might get if you mixed From Dusk Till Dawn with To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Only, instead of putting Hollywood actors in drag, cast lead roles with contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Four drag queens, Mama Sue Flay (Trinity The Tuck), Robin Banks,...

Here’s all the new horror releasing March 22, 2024!

David Dastmalchian stars as Jack Delroy, the charismatic host of “Night Owls,” and the film traces the ill-fated taping of a live Halloween special in 1977 plagued by a demonic presence.

In addition to seemingly every movie you ever rented on VHS growing up, Tubi also has a growing library of their own originals, and a new one titled Slay is headed our way soon.

Tubi Original horror-comedy Slay will premiere on March 22, 2024.

The film’s cast includes Trinity The Tuck as “Mama Sue Flay,” Heidi N Closet as “Robin Banks,” Crystal Methyd as “Bella Da Boys,” and Cara Melle as “Olive Wood.”

Jem Garrard wrote and directed Tubi’s Slay.

Read on to find out who was crowned the winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 8. Warning, major spoilers head.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 8 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s eighth episode, host of the new series “Drag Race México” and fan favorite queen Valentina stops by to chat about “You’re a Winner Baby!” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

In their recap of the episode, Valentina told Bianca that design challenges don’t frighten her because she’s been able to pull things out, but she also admitted to leaning in to her delusional side and accepting help from other queens. She said that for this challenge she would have wanted Trinity the Tuck‘s trunk, especially considering she’s a queen that helped her create a garment in a design challenge on season 9. When it comes to the trunks Lala Ri gave to each of the girls,...

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 8 continued on June 23 with the eighth episode streaming on Paramount+. For the first time ever, RuPaul Charles announced a “second way to win” in addition to earning the coveted crown and $200,000 prize given to the traditional winner.

The queens still in the running at the start of episode 8 were: Alexis Michelle, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, Kandy Muse, and Lala Ri.

Check out our full recap of episode 8 below to find out what happened when the queens took inspiration from the style of former winners in “You’re a Winner Baby!”:

It was a hard decision for Lala Ri to send her friend Kahanna Montrese home last week, but that it came on the heels of her first ever challenge win on “Drag Race” helped pad the hurt.

Dear ones, dinner is being served. But keep your napkins handy. You may need them to cover your mouths from uproarious laughter. Or not. Either way, the new Hulu romp, Drag Me To Dinner, from creators/producers Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka delivers a clever if not lighthearted take on reality show competitions. Where RuPaul offered a platform for drag queens to strut their stuff, here, Harris and Burtka rely on their LGBTQ+ friends to sashay themselves into the kitchen and dining room to pull off the ultimate soirée. Tasty? Indeed.

With episode titles like Big Bottom, Big Top, and Beach Blanket Bing-Ho, viewers can expect plenty of comedy as two pairs of drag queens compete in each episode to create the best meal and themed “party” — cocktails, decorations, and all. Drag sensation Bianca Del Rio is on board as one of the judges. Murray Hill steps into hosting duties.

Get ready for the most epic, fabulous cooking competition you’ve ever seen! “Drag Me to Dinner” is teaming up drag queens and putting them to the ultimate test. These groups must throw impressive dinner parties, focusing on decorations, meals, cocktails, and more. Can they wow their guests, or will their best efforts totally flop?

Drag Isn’t Dangerous, the livestream telethon hosted by Justin Martindale, Alaska 5000, Peppermint, and Adam Shankman on May 7, has raised over $500,000 in donations for LGBTQ+ causes and drag performers. Pre-telethon donations had already topped $100,000, which was then bolstered by over $400,000 in additional contributions.

“Thanks to your generosity we were able to raise over half a million dollars for the Drag Isn’t Dangerous fund to gift our beneficiaries to combat this rash of harmful anti-lgbtqia+ legislation,” Jacob Slane and David Charpentier of the Producer Entertainment Group wrote on the updated Go Fund Me page.

Are you ready for the “Fame Games”?

See ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ winners list

In addition,...

The cast of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8” was revealed via the reality competition show’s YouTube channel Thursday.

12 “RuPaul’s Drag Race” fan favorites will compete for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and a cash prize of $200,000. The prize money matches the record amount won by Season 15 winner Sasha Colby.

Vying for the title are: Alexis Michelle, Darienne Lake, Heidi N Closet, Jaymes Mansfield, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, Kahanna Montrese, Kady Muse, Lala Ri, Monica Beverly Hillz, Mrs. Kasha Davis and Naysha Lopez.

Charlize Theron, Jesse Eisenberg, and Amy Schumer are among the guests who have signed on to take part in the upcoming “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” telethon. The event, which will be broadcast live online on May 7, aims to raise money for LGBTQ+ causes and drag performers.

Created by the Producer Entertainment Group (Peg), which represents top-tier drag and LGBTQ+ talent, and presented in partnership with Black Queer Town Hall, “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” will feature hosting talent from stage, screen, and beyond. In addition to Theron, Eisenberg, and Schumer, entertainers including Leslie Jones,...

When Trinity the Tuck appeared on the stage of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" earlier this year for the iconic Snatch Game challenge, in which every drag artist chooses a celebrity to impersonate, she had completely morphed into actor Leslie Jordan. Apart from her impressive physical transformation - a far cry from Trinity's usual Southern glamour and pageantry - she embodied Jordan's energetic spirit, his sense of humor, and, above all, his ability not to take life too seriously. That impersonation led her to win the challenge alongside competitor Jinkx Monsoon.

Now, one month after Jordan's death, Trinity is reflecting on the legacy he left behind. She remembers first feeling connected to Jordan, who passed away at 67 on Oct. 24, via a television screen. He was a fellow Southern, queer entertainer whose presence and unabashed authenticity brought joy to audiences across the country - and created space for artists like Trinity...

Jinkx Monsoon is going to Broadway! The two-time winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" is set to join "Chicago" in the role of Mama Morton, Entertainment Weekly exclusively revealed on Nov. 22. The queen's Broadway debut also marks a moment in history: they'll become the first drag performer to ever play the part in the Tony award-winning musical.

"I cannot stress enough that this has been a lifelong dream of mine."

Monsoon shared the news on Instagram shortly after the announcement, writing, "I cannot stress enough that this has been a lifelong dream of mine. I'm making my Broadway debut . . . we did it kids!

Jinkx Monsoon’s victory tour is barely underway, yet Mama Ru is already gearing up to crown another All Star.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars has been renewed for Season 8 at Paramount+, TVLine has learned, with an additional season of All Stars Untucked also ordered at the streamer. The premiere date for these new seasons remains Tbd.

Another question,...

An "All Winners" season had a lot of expectations to live up to during RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7.

These weren't queens returning for their redemption and a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. These were all winners, honey! Everyone had a crown and won their season, so we knew they could bring it and win the whole thing.

But if the queens were competing against the best, did they bring their best? That's the big question the competition had to answer.

Now that all has been said and done, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7 was a thrilling and upbeat competition that left its mark on Drag Race herstory.

An exciting 12-episode run that showcased the best of the best when it came to drag. And the game served up hilarious and iconic moments that instantly became classics.

We'll never forget Jinkx Monsoon as Judy Garland...

For this season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” RuPaul Charles brought back eight crowned queens to compete again for the chance to be named “Queen of All Queens,” earn a second crown, and take home a cash prize of 200,000. Over the last 11 weeks we’ve reacclimatized ourselves to the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talents of Shea Couleé, Jaida Essence Hall, Yvie Oddly, Trinity the Tuck, Monét X Change, Jinkx Monsoon, Raja, and The Vivienne and were introduced to new twists: the Platinum Plunger and Legendary Legend Stars.

This week in the season finale, all eight queens competed one last time in two lip sync smackdowns for not one, but two crowns that determined who would become the Queen of She Already Done Had Hereses and the Queen of All Queens.

Our runaway poll leader Jinkx has actually been the favorite to win ever since her “Snatch Game” impersonation of Judy Garland went viral in the second episode.

For this season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” RuPaul Charles brought back eight crowned queens to compete again for the chance to be named “Queen of All Queens,” earn a second crown, and take home a cash prize of 200,000.

In my review of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars episode four I talked about how this season has proven the expression “expectation usually leads to disappointment” wrong. We have been waiting for years for the show to create a season entirely made up of queens who overcame their competitors. The queens have had time since their initial appearance to hone their craft, tour the world, collaborate with designers etc and so the standard of drag we have seen in this season has been some of the greatest we have seen across any franchise of the show! However, another extremely common adage states that “all good things must come to an end” and unfortunately in my opinion this week’s episode seems to be the early stages of the show losing its magic! We are only eight episodes in and so far we have had two design challenges and while...

The body is here! Trinity the Tuck, the queen who werked her way into our hearts with her Southern pageantry flair, iconic reads ("I call shade!"), and a whole lot of duct tape, is competing for the third time on "RuPaul's Drag Race." But this time, it's the "All Stars: All Winners" edition, and she's happy to do things a little bit differently.

"I feel like going into this season versus the last two, I was less severe with my approach on feeling like I needed to prove something," she tells Popsugar. "This time, I wanted to go in, and I just wanted to have fun." It's a good mindset to have, considering this is unlike any other season of "Drag Race." The cast is composed entirely of winners from past installments, and Trinity is even competing against her "twinner," Monét X Change, whom she won "Drag Race All Stars...

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bob the Drag Queen runs down the crowning achievements of the all winners on the newest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s seventh episode, Bob was joined by season 14 champion Willow Pill to get to the bottom of Monét X Change‘s belief that Willow was a “master strategist.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

Ahead of their recap and review, Willow admitted to Bob that while filming she didn’t have the intent of strategizing, but watching the show back she sees how people can think that. She even described a moment during filming where the other girls asked her if she knew the lyrics to a lip sync song and she said “no” despite having performed it herself before. Then, as a member of Yvie Oddly‘s drag family,...
