On Friday, MTV aired the premiere — another split one — of the drag competition show, introducing viewers to the first seven of 14 queens set to compete for the crown of America’s Next Drag Superstar and $200,000.

During the premiere, guest-judged by the gorgeous Charlize Theron, Ru introduced the newest twist to how this competition will be played,...

Despite being eliminated from the competition later in the episode, Kahanna Montrese is grateful that RuPaul stopped her from quitting RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8. After several consecutive appearances in the bottom two, the drag queen — drag daughter of Drag Race Season 5 alum Coco Montrese — felt the building pressure to be insurmountable and, in a moment of self-doubt, wanted to leave the show early in Episode 7. Heidi N Closet had done the same in Episode 5 following a fight with Kahanna. The spar was caused by confusion during “Snatch Game of Love,” in which Kahanna played drag mother Coco. When her performance went south, Heidi (embodying Blackbeard) started riffing with Kahanna. The comments felt like a punch down to the Season 11 alum, and she confronted Heidi in the Werk Room afterward. Feeling ganged up on by Kahanna and Kandy Muse and feeling a lack of support from the other competitors,...

In last week’s episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season eight we saw Lala Ri and Heidi N Closet really shine as the bumbling duo of inexperience criminals and Jimbo claim the win after performing as an unhindered character dragged into a murderous rampage after being bullied by some popular girls in school! Jimbo keeps up her streak of losing every single lip-sync she had ever competed in on the show as we see the return of Shannel all the way from season one! I do have to say that the performance itself was fairly repetitive with the returning assassin twirling and Jimbo head-banging throughout! We sadly had to say farewell to Darienne Lake after Alexis Michelle essentially blamed the whole team’s shortcomings on her as the dead celebrity island was initially Darienne’s idea. I thought that while the idea was hers initially there was plenty...

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 fifth episode, season 14 Miss Congeniality Kornbread Jeté makes her series debut to give us their thoughts on a “messy” episode of “Snatch Game of Love.” Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

In their recap, Kornbread thought that queens who won their original “Snatch Game” competitions had the bigger task to live up to the expectation and queens who hadn’t competed in it before, like Lala Ri, were in a better position to perform well. Kornbread never got to do “Snatch Game” herself and told Bianca that she had planned to perform as Leslie Jordan or the Tiger King. On this cast, Kornbread was excited to see Jimbo do Shirley Temple, but agreed that Kahanna Montrese...

The highly anticipated drag show scheduled to take place on the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada has been abruptly canceled by the Pentagon. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Coco Montrese, who believes it contradicts the supposed support for the LGBTQ+ community that the Biden administration claims to champion.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 8 continued on June 2 with the fifth 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. One of the eliminated queens will also be named Queen of the Fame Games and earn a $50,000 cash prize.

The queens still in the running at the start of episode 5 were: Alexis Michelle, Heidi N Closet, Jaymes Mansfield, Jessica Wild, Jimbo, Kahanna Montrese, Kandy Muse, and Lala Ri.

Check out our full recap of episode 5 below to find out what happened when the queens sat down to play “Snatch Game of Love”:

RuPaul’s Drag Race has effectively become the biggest drag pageant in the world, as competitors from across the US and in their respective countries vie for the title of Drag Superstar. Season 15 frontrunner Sasha Colby is a former winner of Miss Continental, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious pageants on the planet. But Colby isn’t the only Continental winner to sashay onto the Drag Race stage.

Back in 2003, Victoria “Porkchop” Parker took home the crown at Miss Continental Plus, a separate pageant for plus-sized queens. When season 1 of RuPaul’s Drag Race premiered in 2009, Porkchop was the first queen ever eliminated from the show, earning her a hallowed place in the Drag Race universe.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the five remaining queens joined forces with the Wow Presents Plus animated series “Drag Tots” to create their own unique characters with magical powers. The challenge tested the depth of imagination of the queens and their ability to create characters and runway-worthy garments from scratch. As standard for this season, the challenge results in one top performing queen and a set of bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip syncs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the bottom gals should be eliminated. If the assassin wins, a group vote determines a consensus choice to leave instead.

In episode 1, Yara Sofia went head-to-head against Coco Montrese, but lost, and the safe queens’ choice for elimination, Serena, was sent home. In episode 2, Queen of the North and Canada’s Drag Race judge Brooke...

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the six remaining all stars put on their best celebrity drag in the dating show version of the iconic “Snatch Game.” Like the original version of the game, “Snatch Game of Love” tests the queens’ skills at impersonation and pop culture relevancy, as well as improv and comedic characterization. As standard for this season, the challenge results in one top performing queen and a set of bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip syncs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the bottom gals should be eliminated.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the seven remaining all stars formed groups to write and perform lyrics to a new uplifting drag anthem. The challenge tested their ability to work in teams, as well as their stamina on stage as songwriters, singers, and dancers. As standard for this season, the challenge results in one top performing queen and a set of bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip syncs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the bottom gals should be eliminated.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the queens pulled out their witchiest attitudes for a coven-themed spoof of the “American Horror Story” series. The challenge tested their over-acting skills and separated the seasoned performers from those with stage fright. As standard for this season, the challenge results in one top performing queen and a set of bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip syncs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the bottom gals should be eliminated. If the assassin wins, a group vote determines a consensus choice to leave instead.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the nine remaining queens produced and hosted their own daytime talk show segments centered on the most pressing women’s issues: sex, body and motherhood. The group challenge was a test in authenticity, relatability and the ability to be vulnerable within their drag queen personas. As standard for this season, the challenge results in one top performing queen and a set of bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip syncs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the bottom gals should be eliminated.

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” the music of RuPaul Charles takes center stage when the queens remix her songs in style of iconic Super Bowl Halftime performers. The challenge, designed to test how the girls pick up choreography and commit to a performance, determines one top queen and two bottom queens for the week. The top queen lip synchs against a secret assassin for the chance to choose which of the two on the bottom should be eliminated.

In episode 1, Yara Sofia went head-to-head against Coco Montrese, but lost, and the safe queens’ choice for elimination, Serena, was sent home. In episode 2, Queen of the North and Canada’s Drag Race judge Brooke Lynn Hytes tied with challenge winner Ra’Jah O’Hara in the lip sync, and both held the lipsticks that signaled Jiggly’s elimination. Then at the end of episode...

This week on the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” we’re back to the normal one-episode-a-week schedule after the two-part premiere installments on June 24. After the eliminations of Serena ChaCha and Jiggly Caliente in those first episodes, host RuPaul Charles warned them that there would be a “game with a game,” suggesting that they weren’t fully eliminated yet. We also learned in the premiere that once again the queens would lip sync against assassins and cast votes against each other for elimination. In July 1’s third episode the queens were grouped together to film adverts for their “Side Hustles,” a challenge designed to test their acting, line-reading skills and overall comedic talent on screen.

Below, check out our minute-by-minute recap of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 6 episode 3 to find out who put in that good work for the “Side Hustles” group challenge and which queen...

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars made its Paramount+ debut this week, dropping a series of bombs in the process — and I’m not just talking about Trinity K. Bonet’s stand-up comedy. (Yikes!)

For starters, Mama Ru announced that this season is actually “a game within a game,” though we still don’t know what that means. In fact, all we really know about this “masterclass in survival” is that both of the queens eliminated in these first two episodes were stopped on their way out of the workroom and invited to play along. (Any theories? Feel free to share in a comment below.

To kick off the 6th season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” host RuPaul Charles warned us that there would be a “game with a game” and a “twist so twisted [the all stars] will never see it coming.” We learned in the premiere that once again queens would lip sync against assassins, vote each other for elimination, and that once booted from the show could have a chance to re-enter. For the premiere roll out of episodes on Thursday, June 24th via Paramount+ we got two episodes at once.

Below, check out our minute-by-minute recap of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 6 episode 2 to find out who was top queen in “All Star Variety Extravaganza” and which lip sync assassin they performed against. In episode 1, Yara Sofia went head-to-head against Coco Montrese, but lost, and the safe queens’ choice for elimination, Serena ChaCha, was sent home. All Stars 6 is airing this summer...

Winning a RuPaul Roast is a big step toward making the finals. If you can make RuPaul and the judges consistently laugh, the odds of winning shoot straight up!

The queens put their comedic skills to the test on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13 Episode 12.

The zingers were cutting. Many laughs were had on the main stage. And several queens stood out from the pack in one of the most crucial challenges yet.

Before we get into the Roast, we need to talk about the Mini Challenge. The live makeup application might be one of the funniest challenges RuPaul's Drag Race has ever done.

Having one queen apply makeup to another queen from behind a sheet wasn't the most original idea. Drag Race had done something similar during RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 with a beach dancing challenge. However, the concept alone is just so funny and weird.

Rosé, Symone, and Gottmik...

Following an Emmy-winning ninth season of (three wins, in fact), the reality competition series is back with an all-new season of All Stars, featuring some of the fiercest queens in Drag Race herstory.

RuPaul, with the help of Chaka Khan, revealed the season three lineup during an hour-long special on VH1. This year, Aja (season nine, pictured above), BenDeLaCreme (season six), Chi Chi DeVayne (season eight), Kennedy Davenport (season seven), Milk (season six), Morgan McMichaels (season two), Shangela (seasons two and three), Thorgy Thor (season eight) and Trixie Mattel (season seven, and host of the upcoming Viceland talk show, The Trixie & Katya Show, with ) will all vie for a coveted place in the Drag Race Hall of Fame alongside past winners Chad Michaels and Alaska.

In addition to the returning contestants, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews will once again judge the competition alongside RuPaul. And just like season two’s , expect plenty of unexpected moments in what...

Spoilers Ahead!

RuPaul’s Drag Race started off the season 9 premiere with a bang, introducing guest judge Lady Gaga, and ending the episode with a shocking twist.

The contestants shantéd their ways across the catwalk, debuting looks that best represented their hometowns, as well as their best Gaga-inspired drag looks.

It wasn’t until after the winner of the first challenge was announced (congrats, Nina Bo’Nina Brown!) that RuPaul revealed a small catch: There would be a 14th contestant joining the fray.

Wait…@RuPaul…whatchu doing?!

A version of this article originally appeared on EW.com.

RuPaul’s Drag Race is going harder than Coco Montrese’s contour: Lady Gaga announced via Twitter Tuesday that she will appear on the reality competition’s upcoming season 9 premiere.

“The time has come! I’m joining the girls on the season premiere of @RuPaulsDragRace!” Gaga tweeted, while also hash-tagging the lyrics #DontBeADrag #JustBeAQueen from her 2011 hit “Born This Way.”

At Sunday night's MTV VMAs in NYC, the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars really dressed to the nines. On the red carpet, nine of the season's contestants - Coco Montrese, Alyssa Edwards, Katya, Ginger Minj, Alaska Thunderf*ck, Roxxxy Andrews, Detox, Tatianna, and Phi Phi O'Hara - channeled iconic pop diva moments of VMAs past. Included in the eclectic group were Britney Spears's "Slave 4 U" moment (snake included), a "Like a Virgin"-era Madonna, Lil' Kim, Aaliyah, Kim Kardashian's 2014 look, and even Lady Gaga's meat dress from 2010. In case you needed even more incentive to watch Drag Race on Logo, this might be just what you're looking for.

Get ready for the return of your favorite drag queens because later this month RuPaul's Drag Race is giving us another All Stars season. Can you believe we are already getting more eleganza when it feels like season 8 just ended?

In case you haven't seen the cast, here's our returning queens:

Adore Delano (Season 6) Alaska (Season 5) Alyssa Edwards (Season 5) Coco Montrese (Season 5) Detox (Season 5) Ginger Minj (Season 7) Katya Zamolodchikova (Season 7) Phi Phi O'Hara (Season 4) Roxxxy Andrews (Season 5) Tatianna (Season 2)

That is an overload of season five realness, but if it means the return of Rolaskatox, we are perfectly okay with that. Tatianna is the only returning early season competitor and maybe the season's underdog - don't forget she was the original Snatch Game winner with her Britney Spears ("I got lost!"). Overall this cast is heavy with strong performers ready to bring the drama. This round is forgoing the first...

Back in 2009, you'd be hard-pressed to find an average American who knew the definition of a death drop or how to read a queen for filth. That all changed with RuPaul's Drag Race, the must-see competition series returning this summer with its second All Stars season on Logo. And it promises to be bitchier and funnier than ever.

"The girls dropped whatever they were doing to do this," RuPaul says. "We've got a hundred girls now, so we could pretty much do All Stars forever."

So who's going to lip-sync...

"Lip Sync Battle," the Spike TV series based on the celebrity lip-sync duels from Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show," is officially renewed for a second season. Lip-syncing is always good for a silly viral moment, but let's not forget that there's a semi-serious art to doing it well. And while we're at it, let's point out that "RuPaul's Drag Race" is the real HQ for lip-sync sorcery on cable. The premise of "Lip Sync Battle" is that a bunch of celebrities acting like drunken karaoke acts is a riot. Sometimes the juxtaposition of a movie star and a pop song is very funny: Take, for instance, Paul Rudd's seriously impressive work with Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me" on "The Tonight Show." Not only did he memorize Turner's every spastic vocal moment, he also lived up to her grit with an impassioned performance. It was comedy, but...

"RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 5 came to a close on Monday (May 6), with RuPaul crowning America's Next Drag Superstar from the final three made up of Jinkx Monsoon, Alaska and Roxxxy Andrews. So, who did Ru crown and award the $100,000?

After the hour-and-a-half reunion that saw each queen from the season take her place in the hot seat opposite Ru (more on that below), the crown was placed firmly on the head of Jinkx Monsoon, the campy, narcoleptic fan favorite from Seattle.

Jinkx entered the competition with a strong comedic ability and, though she occasionally struggled with her fashion and endured some nasty criticism from the season's pageant queens, she endeared herself to fans and Ru herself with her hilarious, campy presence.

Before learning she'd won, Ru asked Jinkx how she felt since taping concluded. The champ replied, "I think I've entered Jinkx 2.0: The butterfly phase." And how right she was.

Who would have thought that Nicki Minaj watches "RuPaul's Drag Race"? The rapper, singer and "American Idol" judge took to Twitter yesterday and sounded off on her "Drag Race" favorites.

Minaj said that she's upset that Jinkx Monsoon made it so far in the competition, but Jinkx and Alaska "did that" when it came to acting this week.

Wait barbz, this is serious. I'm mad jinx made it this far in drag race. Yes, great comedy but roxxy face be servin beat REALTness hunty!

— Nicki Minaj (@Nickiminaj) April 24, 2013

She came In fierce! Face, sewing, hair, I'm just sayin > Rt @byronluvminajI love Roxxxy!! Them lashes and eyeshadow!! yes ma'am!!!

— Nicki Minaj (@Nickiminaj) April 24, 2013

But when it came to the acting this week, I had to admit jinx and alaska did That! They're also nice ppl. So idk...its tough to decide

— Nicki Minaj (@Nickiminaj) April 24, 2013

The hip-hop diva also said that...

RuPaul's Drag Race was a charity case last night, arranging its eight remaining queens in a supergroup (a la USA for Africa) and forcing everyone to croon a bombastic ballad called "Can I Get An Amen?" Queens like Ivy Winters and Jinkx Monsoon proved they could've sung right alongside Cyndi Lauper and Kim Carnes, but other queens felt short -- especially Jade Jolie, a.k.a. Josh Green of Gainesville, Fl, who seemed to shrink next to the stronger singers in the competition. Eventually Jade faced off in a tough lip-sync against Coco Montrese, but Coco's explosive connection to the Pointer Sisters classic "I'm So Excited" kept her in the game. That meant Jade Jolie sashayed away, back to the adorable land of Lite Brite-colored wigs from whence she came.

We caught up with Jade Jolie to discuss her fights with Alyssa and Roxxy Andrews, the terror of public singing,...

We wait every year on RuPaul's Drag Race for the return of "Snatch Game," the phenomenally gaudy send-up of Match Game, where the queens parody celebrities, and this year's exhibition was damn loony. Jinkx Monsoon triumphed as Little Edie Bouvier thanks to a dead-on voice performance, and Alaska's strange, but spirited version of Lady Bunny was just as dynamic. However, some queens flailed before guest-judges Julie Brown and Downtown Julie Brown (yes, both MTV legends were present), and one such underachiever was Lineysha Sparx, the Puerto Rican looker who couldn't quite sell her impersonation of Celia Cruz. In a final lip-sync against Detox, Lineysha's sass was no match for Detox's unforgettably bizarre, jaw-quavering take on Cher.

We spoke briefly to Lineysha, a.k.a. 24-year-old Andy Trinidad, about her time on the show and discussed the problems with language barriers and attempting comedy.

AfterElton: I loved your runway presentation in the first challenge.

The second episode of RuPaul's Drag Race's fifth season delighted us with a quirky, unexpected challenge: The 13 remaining queens were tasked with reenacting classic moments from the past four seasons of Drag Race. The challenge called for precise lip-sync skills and dramatic acting chops from everyone, and it's clear whose pantomime was worthier of kudos from guest judges Kristen Johnston and Juliette Lewis: Lineysha Sparx walked off with the title for her dead-on, hilarious impersonation of Tyra Sanchez (though it helped that the resemblance was uncanny), and beleaguered Panamanian queen Serena ChaCha, a.k.a. Myron Morgan, ended up in the bottom two thanks to her uninspired take on Raja. After surviving last week's survival lip-sync, Serena lost to Monica Beverly Hillz in a final performance of Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)."

We caught up with Serena to discuss her rapport with the other queens, being the youngest competitor,...
