With this week's round of Drag Race Holland, the series celebrated its first three-way... lip sync battle. Here's what we thought...

Double the winners, double the fun! At least, that seems to be RuPaul's motto for Drag Race All-Stars season 4 In an epic Drag Race first, we got not only one winner… but two! Yes, both Monet X Change and Trinity "the tuck" Taylor came away with crowns and cash! I could not be more pleased[...]

I'll admit: I've seen all the seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race before…except for season 10 I missed it when it was on live and haven't been able to find it anywhere streaming since – until now! Watching this season, it has a bunch of queens I know and love already, and this fills in so[...]

I vaguely remember watching RuPaul's Drag Race season 9 as it aired though I'm not sure I saw all the episodes at the time, which makes this season perfectly primed for a rewatch! The ninth season brought us back "Miss Cu-Cu" herself, Cynthia Lee Fontaine is back and outrageous as ever Speaking of being back,[...]

Hey, squirrel friends! If you've been following my exhaustive coverage of RuPaul's Drag Race, you already know I have opinions on all the queens Now that I've finished all the seasons in their entirety, it's time for the list to end all lists: my rankings of all the winning queens from worst to best I[...]

Yes, we've finally gotten to one of my favorite seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, quite possibly of the entire Drag Race franchise It takes the "Lip Sync for Your Legacy" All Stars rules and really shapes them into a great competition and demands the queens rise to the occasion To quote the amazing[...]

Since RuPaul's Drag Race is one of Bleeding Cool's favorite shows, we've got some fresh but "off the beaten path" news for you Are you ready to give a big international Drag Race "verwelkoming" to the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race Holland? Ready or not, here they come and they are all looking fabulous! Not to[...]

That's right, it's being reported that the popular drag queen competition show, RuPaul's Drag Race, just finished filming season 13 – despite the pandemic Though the cast hasn't been announced yet, there are plenty of rumors and speculation, as the competing queens are not allowed phones, social media, or the internet during filming Season 13[...]

Okay, let me just say that the eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race has some of my absolute all-time favorite queens, and I love it already But despite that, it's still objectively the most entertaining season with the best mix of challenges and most entertaining mix of personalities and talent Kim Chi is delicious as[...]

With RuPaul's Drag Race, that slump hit around the seventh season It's formulaic, even with a new cast of competing queens each season, but that means it's often predictable and the season can be boring and forgettable So forgettable, the major streaming services neglected to add it to their lineup However, CBS All Access is[...]

Davenport was living with Scleroderma, an immune disease that causes the body to attack tissue under the skin and around the internal organs, though the official cause of death is listed as pneumonia.

Speaking with Variety and iHeart via their The Big Ticket podcast, Byer says she isn't writing an acceptance speech because "I will lose to RuPaul, and I'm fine with that," though Byer's work in the fourth season easily stacks up with those of her fellow nominees In fact, one would think with an Emmy nomination[...]

Hosted by the lovely Rebecca Romijn with judges RuPaul Charles, Craig Tracy, and Robin Slonina, the challenges are crazy, the designs immaculate, and the best part? It's mostly free of contestant drama- but judges trying to instigate drama? That's a different story. A look at the first season of Skin Wars, with Rebecca Romijn and RuPaul[...]

In case you have been a little busy keeping up with all the SDCC@Home news and forgot that the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 5 was this past Friday night, this is your reminder before you get spoiled on the winner of the season Spoiler: Bob completes the rainbow and it's everything It's[...]

Bob The Drag Queen is back with her drag sister Monet X Change to "kiki" about this week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars To quote Bob, "I'm helmed." This episode was fine, but it was a stand-up challenge and we all knew that Blair St Clair wasn't long for this competition going into[...]

This brings us squarely into the current era: as I like to call it, the "drag revolution is televised" era. A scene from Pose, television's modern look at ballroom culture (Image: FX Networks). Category is: Current Television RuPaul started a little show called Drag Race in 2009, and it proved that people would and did care about drag[...]

The first look required the queens to walk the backyard – er, runway – as a member of RuPaul's family, complete with character backstory via recorded monologue that played as they walked the runway The next look was a very Project Runway found-fashion challenge: they had to create an outdoor eleganza look using the BBQ[...]

Okay, if you keep current with RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars and you're familiar with my coverage of this season, you know that I am absolutely shook at who went home this week If you don't know who that is – you should probably be warned that there are major spoilers for episode 6 of[...]

Okay, I know it was a month ago, but I have been rationing my pre-quarantine content in an attempt to not run out of exciting things to watch, so I'm just now getting to RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 finale Before we get into it, if you haven't seen this season, you can read my[...]

Personal opinion disclaimer: a certain contestant (who is nowhere near as sweet as cherry pie) on the 12th season of RuPaul's Drag Race is a skeevy predator and was disqualified immediately after her actions came to light This queen is a disappointment and seriously lets down the title of "camp queen", which is a real[...]

Bob was right there with me in being stressed because this round of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars competition just got cutthroat Did we also mention that India Ferrah is a dirty liar playing a ridiculous game and if Alexis Mateo doesn't win this season I will riot But I'm getting ahead of myself Bob[...]

In this first part of my look at ballroom culture and its portrayal on TV, some historical context, Madonna, Paris is Burning, and more.

But, we're back (against my family's begging – they even staged an intervention!) with our next look at RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, and this is one of my favorite seasons, so I absolutely cannot wait to dive in. Now, this is the first season to be formatted as we know it, with the eliminations falling[...]

I know it's been a hot minute, but honey, we are back and watching RuPaul's Drag Race! Now, we did skip a few seasons, but honestly, seasons 7 – 10 are a little hard to come by as they're not on a streaming service But regardless, we're back covering all the drama, sequins, sass, and[...]

Good news, fans of drag queens, Pride month, dangerous toys designed for children, and of course, cake! RuPaul's Drag Race alum and Netflix/YouTube personality Trixie Mattel just released a new video of her proudly baking a 6-layer rainbow cake in honor of Pride And because Trixie has to be the "gayest gay", she does it[...]

It must be my birthday because somebody has granted me a dream pairing! Bob The Drag Queen is back hosting an all-new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' season 5 edition of "The Pit Stop," with her very special guest this week, Alaska Thunderf*ck For those of you who are new around here, I[...]

The fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars has left us all gagging – and we're only on the third episode Bob and special guest The Vivienne (from Drag Race UK) chat about the girls, the episode, and of course, all the looks From there, the queens were tasked with a little interior decorating[...]

Need convincing? You can check out what I'm talking about below: RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 5 key art (Image: VH1) This week's challenge is one of my favorites that keep popping up each season: singing/girl group challenge! This week, the stars are tasked with writing and recording a verse to their mega-girl group production number[...]

As a two-for-one, I would absolutely take RuPaul's Drag Race as well as sister series All Stars Why? Because they're both fabulous and it delivers drag happiness and lends sparkle, drama, and fabulous to everything, and of course EdenTV+ will be absolutely fabulous Besides, have you tried to find past season 6 on streaming? Yeah,[...]
