“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Has Increased Its Grand Prize To $150,000
Start your engines, and may the saltiest former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant win! Vh1 seems to have found some money hanging around in the bottom of its purse because Drag Race just got a big boost to its prize money. The grand prize used to be ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOOLAHS! Now the winner of its current season, season 14, will get $150,000 and the runner-up will get more than just some really good tour merch sales–they’ll also receive $50,000. New wigs for everyone!
Mel C Joked About Victoria Beckham’s Singing Abilities On “Drag Race UK Vs. The World”
Every time a Grindr notification pings, a new RuPaul’s Drag Race spinoff gets produced. The latest is Drag Race UK Versus The World, which stars former Drag Race contestants from across the globe. The series premiered Tuesday and featured a talent show, a wholly unjust first elimination, and Melanie Chisholm making an appearance as a guest judge. Sporty Spice seemed to be having a ball, and during judging, she joked that contestant Baga Chipz must have been inspired by Victoria Beckham because her lip-syncing skills sucked. Ha! It’s funny cuz it’s true.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Announces The Queens Of Season 14
There are three things in life that are unavoidable: death, taxes, and a new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. RuPaul is able to find queens on queens on queens and there’s a whole new crew of 14 of ’em for the fourteenth season of the show. If you think there isn’t a wealth of men ready to tuck their balls into their assholes and prance to a pop song? You don’t know about reality! The trailer is here and it brought all of the campy one-liners the writers wrote for Michelle Visage last season that she probably rejected. But Ru’s a professional, she always saves the best ones for herself anyway.
There Were A Few Surprises And Record-Breakers In An Otherwise Pretty Predictable Emmy Awards Ceremony
I watched the 73rd Annual Primetime Emmys last night, and because I live on the east coast, I went to bed immediately after the final award was presented at too-late-for-me-o’clock. And it should be no surprise that I had the weirdest dream last night about a member of the royal family-turned-soccer coach that looked like Kate Winslet and sounded like John Oliver, who for some reason really wanted me to learn how to play chess with their best friend, Cedric the Entertainer. The Emmys last night kind of felt like déjà vu happening in real-time. Oh look, Ted Lasso won another award! The Crown is cleaning up! But there were some moments that felt right, like the formerly snubbed Michaela Coel taking home the award for Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, for the incredible I May Destroy You. But other than that, and a few fun surprises, there was a whole lot of Cheerful Soccer Coach and 1980’s-era British Queen Having Problems With Her Son’s Messy Marriage.
Open Post: Hosted By RuPaul’s Rules For Dealing With Anti-Maskers On Flights
RuPaul brought some flaming hot baldness to Jimmy Kimmel Live! as he filled in for Jimmy Kimmel. Ru of course did the whole monologue schtick and touched on the hot topics going on in the world including anti-makers losing it on planes. And in true drag queen fashion, Ru had some advice for how to deal with those such people: shutting them the fuck down. You see the only time Ru doesn’t want you wearing a mask for your safety is if he and his fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race judges need to see your lips moving to make sure you know all the words to Ariana Grande‘s Greedy.
The Cast Of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars” Season 6 Has Been RuVealed
It’s here! It’s finally here! Yet another fucking season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars! The sixth season will debut on June 24, and the cast was just revealed. And, listen, there are some great queens here, but let’s be real; with each passing year, these All-Stars get less and less impressive. Nothing will ever match the wondrous heights of All-Stars season 2 Katya vs. Alaska ft. Detox/Alyssa Edwards/Tatianna. But, hey, maybe they’ll provide us juicy fights and dramatic tricks? Fingies crossed!
