RuPaul Gossip

Yesterday, RuPaul’s new talk show RuPaul premiered with guests including James Corden and HGTV’s Property Brothers, Drew and Johnathan Scott. In his opening monologue, RuPaul explains that FOX is doing three weeks of test shows to see if RuPaul is viable. Based on audience demand and reception, they’ll determine whether the show will “stick around. Full Story

Things that aren’t controversial: Miss Vanjie should have won the makeover challenge and Nina v. Silky was probably one of the worst lip syncs in the history of Drag Race. I love Nina West too much to call for a double sashay, but if there was ever a moment this season, it was that.  Things that are mildly controversial: Nina West should have shantayed – I’m biased, but apparently so is the rest of the internet including AOC Full Story

Anne Hathaway was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week promoting The Hustle, which is coming out this Friday. I can’t wait to see The Hustle, since it’s based off one of my favourite movies, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Full Story

RuPaul, Aquaria (Season 10 Drag Race winner), and Violet Chachki (Season 7 winner) walked the Met Gala red carpet yesterday, an important milestone. When I wrote yesterday about the Queer History of Camp, I said, “I’m a little disappointed, although we’ll have to see for sure tonight. Full Story

We’re already down to 10 queens in tonight’s episode even though it feels like we just started. The challenge this week is about the first ever “Draglympics.” At this point in the season, there are already some frontrunners in the competition (*cough* Yvie Oddly) and others who probably should start packing their bags (*cough* Rajah O’Hara). Full Story

The finale of All Stars 4 was some f-ckery, with a helping of bulls-t on the side. Instead of crowning one queen as the winner of the crown, Ru decided that for the first time in Drag Race herstory, there would be two winners. Understandably, people were upset with the result, feeling that it both “cheapened the crown” and that it was unfair to all the queens in the past who would have benefitted from a tie, and to the winning queens themselves because it undervalued their hard work, effort, time, and money put into this competition. Full Story

Tonight is the grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4. Let’s talk winners. The final challenge this episode is like the end of every Drag Race season: it looks like the queens will have to add their own verse to RuPaul’s song, "Super Queen", with the help of Todrick Hall, and then dance to it. Full Story

The latest episode of All Stars 4 was certainly something. The challenge was a HUGE step up from previous weeks. Not only did the queens have to come up with a themed club night, decide on décor, music, entertainment, and a signature cocktail, they also had to build the sets themselves! To be honest, this last part was the funniest bit in the episode, but still that’s a lot! I don’t know about you, but if I were to compete on Drag Race, the only painting I should be expected to do is on my face. Full Story

At noon yesterday, VH1 announced the new lineup of queens for the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race via YouTube livestream. If you haven’t watched it, do yourself a favour and don’t because that Season 11 Ruveal was a trainwreck. Here’s everything that went wrong: 1.    It was live. Full Story

Even if you don’t watch RuPaul’s Drag Race, you HAVE to watch this clip.  I’ve been meaning to write a “why is everyone sleeping on Naomi Smalls?” post for a while, but I was waiting for the right time. After last week, when I re-evaluated the standings, I said that Naomi was out of her league in this competition. Full Story
