Jimbo — the drag star and designer who won season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in July — now has full Hollywood representation. The performer has signed with WME and with management firm Producer Entertainment Group (Peg).
Hailing from Victoria, British Columbia, Jimbo first competed in reality TV on Canada’s Drag Race as well as RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World, before joining the cast of Paramount+’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Jimbo’s win marked the first time that an international performer prevailed on the competition show.

RuPaul is best known for his empire of Emmy-winning shows, including "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," but the famed drag queen is also a married man. Since 1994, RuPaul has been in a relationship with his now-husband Georges LeBar. The longtime couple officially tied the knot in 2017, but the television host rarely talks about his marriage. That's because RuPaul's husband is much more low-key than his spouse.
While many celeb couples consist of two megastars, this marriage is a little different: one partner is a drag star and reality TV host, and the other is a rancher. Yep, you read that right. LeBar is the manager of a 60,000-acre ranch on land in Wyoming and South Dakota.
In a 2017 interview with Entertainment Tonight, RuPaul revealed that he and the Australia-born rancher met on the dance floor of the Limelight club in 1994 and shared why they decided to...

Updated: In another sign that shows — even famous ones — can no longer “live forever” on streaming in the new era of media companies re-prioritizing profits, a slew of titles will be leaving Disney-controlled Hulu in the coming days as their license deals expire. For now, there are no plans to renew any of the pacts but that is always a possibility in the future.
‘Arrested Development’ and ‘Bob Newhart Show’
The list of departing series includes 18 series from Disney’s 20th Television, including the David E. Kelley Emmy-winning legal shows Ally McBeal, which the studio had been looking to remake, and The Practice, as well as fellow award-winners The Bob Newhart Show, Hill Street Blues and Arrested Development.

"It's time to celebrate," Kandy Muse says, ahead of the season eight "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" finale on July 21. "We've done the competition. We're at the final two." That "we"? It's Kandy Muse, the Bronx native and "Drag Race" season 13 runner-up, and Canada's superstar, Jimbo. Though they're opponents, there's none of the signature gibes or subtle shade often prevalent in the "Drag Race" workroom. When Jimbo and Kandy Muse sit down with Popsugar, there's only pride for themselves, and each other.
"You'd be shocked at how close we get in such a short period of time," Kandy Muse says. "There's so much common ground." Of course, the pair did know each other before "All Stars"; they toured together prior to filming. The dressing room is where bonds are made, they say. "That's where all the tea is.

The Haunted Mansion world premiere at Disneyland was the first major movie premiere affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike. None of the on-screen talent was at the event but director Justin Simien did address the elephant in the room.
“Obviously, we’re here at a weird time in the industry. There are some folks that aren’t here,” he said prior to the screening before joking he was talking about the “multiple walkouts of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars.”
Simien would later acknowledge writer Katie Dippold adding, “Trust me, if you’re a nerd and if you love this ride, that is the nerd you want in the room.”
The director said that when he first read the script by Dippold he thought it was “a brilliant and fresh, and funny, and heartfelt, and important and meaningful take on this ride. It was really important to me to protect her vision and...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 Episode 10.] After weeks of fierce competition, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 has narrowed it down to two drag queens. Jimbo and Kandy Muse will face off for the crown in the All Stars Season 8 finale on Paramount+. But who should win? Host RuPaul has been springing format changes on the cast and audience all season long. Thanks to that, Season 8 marks the first-ever final two as opposed to the typical final three or four. The Friday, July 7 episode ended with Kandy Muse as the Maxi Challenge winner but the loser of her lip-sync assassin performance against guest star Priyanka. Naturally, Jimbo and Jessica Wild (the bottom two by default) didn’t vote for themselves, so rather than Priyanka revealing the group’s elimination choice, the decision went to Kandy. She sent Jessica packing. As with all of this season’s changes,...

Lala Ri says she should have seen Alexis Michelle‘s betrayal coming on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8. The drag queen went through major whiplash after winning the Episode 7 challenge and lip-sync, and then being swiftly eliminated in Episode 8. It was made worse given that Lala’s elimination wasn’t due to poor performance. She was in the bottom two with Kandy Muse following the sewing challenge, and while her Season 13 sewing challenge elimination is one of the most memorable in Drag Race history, this challenge was a redemption arc for the competitor. Her dress, while imperfect, held its own. And she thought she could rely on Alexis, whom she had saved from elimination in Episode 7. To pay her back for the save, Alexis promised to reciprocate the kindness should she win the Episode 8 challenge and lip-sync. Alexis did, indeed, take home that week’s top prizes, but she...

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+. Airing concurrently with the main show is its Werk Room-focused sister series “Untucked,” now in its 5th season for the “All Stars” franchise. This season, the eliminated queens have the opportunity to compete in the “Fame Games,” an online and social media component to the competition where fans will vote for a queen to win the $50,000 cash prize up for grabs.
In episode 8 of “Untucked,” the six remaining queens reflected on the latest challenge and discussed the upcoming elimination. That decision could be in the hands of the group vote among the safe queens or solely in the hands of the week’s top performer, Alexis Michelle, if she won the lip sync against the secret assassin Nicky Doll. The bottom queens up for elimination this time around were 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.

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 seventh episode, season 14 alum Deja Skye makes her “Pit Stop” debut to chat about “Forensic Queens.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of the episode, Deja tells Bianca that she thinks Kahanna Montrese has been “killing it” on the runway and that Jessica Wild is the one keeping her entertained. Still, Bianca found time to point out how big of a fan Deja is of Bianca and then continued to make Deja fall out of her chair laughing throughout the episode. In their calmer moments, Deja was able to explain to Bianca that like Peppermint last week, the game should not be based on track record and each queen should play for themselves.
