Following the success of its recent chart topping hits Pretendians and A Field Guide to Gay Animals (Official Selection Tribeca), Canadaland is set to release the second podcast under its new DoubleDouble banner and its first ever celebrity interview podcast.

After more than three decades behind the camera, iconoclastic Award Winning filmmaker and notorious curmudgeon Alan Zweig gets in front of a microphone and brings his honesty and humor to The Worst Podcast where notable celebrities and cultural icons are invited for a conversation. The only catch is Alan doesn’t know who he is about to interview and frankly doesn’t care. He has no interest in press junket talking points or canned anecdotes.

Over the course of his career, Alan has sat down for memorable interviews with everybody from Fran Lebowitz, convicted felons,...

Queen Priyanka, the inaugural winner of Canada’s Drag Race, has released a new album, Devastatia.

The We’re Here star has been working hard at creating the hyper-pop album, which opens with a catchy and self-confident anthem, “I’m a Star,” that features the drag queen turned pop star telling the listener: “You are good enough / Now look in the mirror and say / I’m a star.”

The eight-track album, released Friday, has been in the works for a long time. “I’m so used to fast turnarounds and content is content that I didn’t expect for it to take this long,” Priyanka tells The Hollywood Reporter, noting it’s been two years since she released her EP Taste Test. “I didn’t also expect to go through what I went through.”

The singer says that looking back, she feels bad for herself and that’s “crazy to think about.

Apple TV+’s “Loot” is in the money: the comedy series, starring and executive produced by Maya Rudolph, has been renewed for a third season at the streamer.

Created by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard, “Loot” stars Rudolph as Molly Wells, who, after divorcing her tech billionaire husband (Adam Scott) after 20 years, must figure out what to do with her $87 billion settlement and turns her attention to running the charitable foundation she forgot she started to connect with the real world.

Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World season 2 is right around the corner, with viewers ready to see how much heat this season will bring to the Great White North. Ra'Jah O'Hara won Canada's Drag Race: Canada Vs. The World season 1 with Silky Nutmeg Ganache finishing in the runners-up position. Ra'Jah earned the Queen of The Mother-Pucking World title and took home a $100,000 cash prize. Countries featured in the first season included the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada.

The premise of the drag makeover show “We’re Here” is that queer liberation hasn’t extended as far as it could. For three seasons, a group of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumni have traveled to small towns throughout the country, helping members of the local LGBTQ community assert their identity and visibility through gender-bending performances. But even a project that deliberately targets places where gay and trans people might feel cut off from a sense of camaraderie — many locations are scattered throughout the South and Midwest, with occasional detours to California and Hawai’i — didn’t anticipate their own art form coming under such intense public scrutiny.

“I would never have predicted that, four seasons later, it’s actually harder to be out and proud,” Priyanka says in last month’s premiere. The “Canada’s Drag Race” winner is one of several new faces this season, which bids farewell to Bob the Drag Queen,...

The all new cast for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 16 was announced via the official Rpdr YouTube channel Wednesday morning.

The premiere episode will air on January 5 at 8 pm Et on MTV. Watch the “Meet the Queens” in full then read below for key details and first impressions on the queens and a competitive twist added for the new season.

Let all Ru-joice in a return to 90 minute episodes for season 16, ending the widely unpopular decision to trim them down to 60 minutes at the start of season 15. Each episode will once again be followed by a 30 minute episode of “Untucked” for a glimpse of the queens reflecting on the latest challenge while the judges deliberate on the elimination.

Pangina Heals is staying booked and busy!

On Tuesday, World of Wonder announced that the drag artist, best known stateside for competing on the inaugural “RuPaul’s Drag Race: U.K. vs. the World,” will return to “Drag Race Thailand” as a Season 3 judge and host in 2024.

“I am stepping back as a judge into the ‘Drag Race Thailand’ universe after four years! It’s been way too long!” Heals said in a statement. “I’m just gagging in anticipation for the incredible queens we’re about to meet. I also can’t wait for fans to see the second season of ‘Tongue Thai’d’ with extra special guests who would have to survive the extra spicy gauntlet this season!”

Heals previously served as cohost and judge for the first two seasons of “Drag Race Thailand,” which aired in 2018 and 2019.

Past winners include Priyanka, Icesis Couture and Gisèle Lullaby.

Canada’s Drag Race season four premieres November 16th at 9pm Et/Pt on Wow Presents Plus, and will debut Thursdays at 9pm Et/Pt on the streaming platform.

A new heavyweight is about to make a splash in the unscripted ring.

Canadian production-distribution powerhouse Blue Ant Media, the producers of “Canada’s Drag Race,” has acquired “Blown Away” outfit MarbleMedia — a deal that merges two of Canada’s most global-facing industry players.

The acquisition sees Toronto-headquartered Blue Ant Media merge its production and distribution operations with MarbleMedia into one studio and rights business. Blue Ant Media boss Michael MacMillan, the former CEO of Alliance Atlantis, tells Variety that discussions have taken place for around a year. “Neither company needed to do this,” he says, “but it seemed like a really smart idea for us all.”

Formed in 2011, Blue Ant Media has grown into a leader in factual and unscripted content. Its stable of shows include “Canada’s Drag Race” for World of Wonder and Crave; “Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks” for Prime Video; the doc series “Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies...

She looks like Linda Evangelista. She’s a model. And now, Valentina is the cohost of “Drag Race Mexico” alongside global superstar Lolita Banana.

The announcement was made Friday on the main stage of DragCon LA, the world’s largest annual drag convention.

Valentina rose to fame during Season 9 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The judges were enamored with her beauty and style, but her run ended after she famously protested taking off her facemask during her elimination lip-sync against Nina Bonina Brown, placing seventh.

She would later compete in “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4,” also finishing seventh. She’s appeared in her own Wow Presents Plus series and modeled in several fashion magazines, including Vogue Mexico, and appeared in Fox’s live musical “Rent.”

The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television has named its batch of 2023 film and TV winners ahead of Sunday night’s broadcast of the Canadian Screen Awards on CBC and CBC Gem. During the weeklong celebration, which was broken up over four days, “The Porter” and “Brother” emerged with the most victories in their respective TV and film categories.

“Brother” had 13 nominations heading into Thursday night’s film celebrations and triumphed in 12 categories — including best motion picture. Clement Virgo also picked up wins for directing and adapted screenplay, while Lamar Johnson won for performance in a leading role and Aaron Pierre won for performance in a supporting role.

The film is based on David Chariandy’s prize-winning novel of the same name and made its world debut this past September at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Brother” revolves around the sons of Caribbean immigrants as they come of age during Toronto’s 1990s hip-hop scene.

Some of the best Snatch Game performances have come from the international spin-offs of RuPaul's Drag Race. Snatch Game is the one challenge where the queens are required to impersonate celebrities. The number of matches the queens makes with the judges has no effect on their score for the challenge; it is focused on being funny over being correct. The challenge is one fans look forward to every season, as it often yields the funniest or cringiest moments. There have been many versions of Snatch Game across the franchise, but all have the same overall structure of the queens answering questions in character.

While the American version of Rpdr has some of the best Snatch Game performances, the international spin-offs have shown that queens worldwide can make fans cry from laughter. With viewers from the United States watching the international queens compete, they have the added challenge of making themselves...

Shared via an Instagram post on Thursday, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” announced that it will return to airing 90-minute episodes beginning March 10. The Emmy winning competition series made its big jump to MTV in January and shocked and outraged its loyal fanbase with a new 60-minute format when the third episode aired on January 13. Also in a break from tradition, the sister series “Untucked” did not immediately follow the episode and instead aired a full hour after Rpdr’s conclusion.

MTV’s trimming of the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 episode length is perceived to have made room for its new series “The Real Friends of Weho,” starring “Canada’s Drag Race” host and judge Brad Goreski. That series premiered on January 20 following the fourth episode of Rpdr. It’s been airing in the 9 pm slot that had been previously occupied by the additional 30 minutes of Rpdr and “Untucked” when the show aired on VH1.

Have you ever wondered whatever happens to Drag Queens after Reality TV?

They start a podcast, silly!

The Sonar Network, Canada's award-winning independent podcast network, is thrilled to welcome the addition of Semi-Qualified Queens, a podcast by former Canada’s Drag Race contestants Juice Boxx and Synthia Kiss. The show launched as part of the Sonar Network on Tuesday, February 7.

While hosting a viewing party for a reunion episode of Drag Race, Juice and Synthia’s irresistible chemistry made it clear they were meant to become podcast co-hosts. On Semi-Qualified Queens, which first premiered in January 2022, Juice and Synthia recap episodes of Drag Race and welcome the most recently eliminated queens on the show to spill the tea and the trauma. The podcast showcases this charming duo’s scintillating wit as they battle their imposter syndrome and swap lascivious puns, to the delight of their devoted fan base, the Sqq cuties.

The Real Friends of WeHo premiered on January 20 as MTV's newest venture, but while the series was created to promote inclusivity, RuPaul's Drag Race fans (and the LGBTQ+ community) are less than impressed. When it comes to reality television, MTV has been a pioneer for over 30 years. The Real World became a global phenomenon in the early 1990s, for instance, while True Life showcased hundreds of gritty, emotional, and controversial subjects between 1998 and 2017. Although it took almost ten years and 14 seasons to secure, there was a sense of excitement when MTV acquired the rights to RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 from VH1, ahead of its January 6 premiere.

RuPaul is best known as the host and creator of RuPaul's Drag Race, but the self-described "Queen of Drag" is more than America's biggest drag competition. Since the series debuted in 2009, RuPaul's Drag Race has expanded from a small presentation on Logo to an international franchise found in countries like Australia, Canada, France, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. While there have only been a handful of winners, hundreds of contestants featured on RuPaul's Drag Race have gone on to enjoy highly established careers, with some queens like Bob The Drag Queen and Laila McQueen known as close collaborators.

It's been fifteen years since RuPaul's Drag Race was first introduced to the world, and with a steady pattern of one season a year, RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 kicked off 2023 with sixteen new queens ready to be America's Next Drag Superstar.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 4 came to an end, and winner Danny Beard revealed why she never imagined she would get on the reality show in the first place. Danny is the first bearded queen to be featured on the UK installment of RuPaul's Drag Race. She was quickly identified as the comedy queen of the season, but unlike many comedy queens, her looks on the runway were some of the best of the season.

Danny had some tough competition on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, but her unique style of drag put her over the top. In an interview with Digital Spy, Danny explained, "I never saw myself like a Ru Girl." As her name suggests, Danny Beard's signature beard is the calling card for her incredible sense of drag. Danny said, "I never thought that my kind of drag would be given the time, and not just the time...

Damian Terriquez (All Rise) and Kaleb Horn (Hardy Boys) have been cast in key recurring roles opposite Miss Benny and Kim Cattrall in Netflix drama series Glamorous, from Jordon Nardino (Star Trek: Discovery) and Damon Wayans Jr.

Glamorous, which originally had been ordered to pilot at The CW in 2019, tells the story of Marco Mejia, played by Miss Benny, a young gender non-conforming queer man whose life seems to be stuck in place until he lands a job working for legendary makeup mogul Madolyn Addison (Cattrall). It’s Marco’s first chance to figure out what he wants out of life, who he actually is, and what it really means for him to be queer.

Terriquez will recur as Dizmal, a Bushwick fixture and drag performer who welcomes Marco (Benny) to the world of Brooklyn nightlife; while Horn will portray Nowhere, Glamorous by Madolyn’s (Cattrall) marketing assistant.

I don’t think it’s a particularly well-kept secret but I am a massive fan of all things Ru Paul’s Drag Race! I honestly become overcome with excitement whenever a new season is announced but I have to admit that I am not watching as many of the international franchises as I would like to due to the sheer volume of them. Right now, for example, there are four separate iterations of the show running simultaneously. While I don’t have an issue with the volume of Drag Race seasons, I think it is the frequency that stops me from being able to watch as many of the shows as I would have liked to! With the four seasons airing at the same time this would mean that over half the evening every week would be taken up with some form of drag show which is totally not viable for me!

The official Twitter account for Canada’s Drag Race had to hastily delete an unfortunately timed tweet amid news of the Queen’s death.

On Thursday (8 August), Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully in Balmoral at the age of 96.

Earlier in the day, when reports of the Queen’s ill health were circulating in the news, Canada’s Drag Race (the Canadian version of the popular RuPaul’s Drag Race TV franchise) issued a promotional tweet teasing its season finale.

“Happy #CanadasDragRace Finale Day,” it read. “The crown is up for grabs... who is going to take it home?”

Alongside the text, the show shared an image of a crown.

The message, which was most likely composed and scheduled long before news of the Queen’s status had broken, was promptly deleted – but not before people managed to screenshot evidence of its existance.

“Possibly an all-time deleted tweet,” wrote Huffington Post’s Philip Lewis,...

Step aside, Priyanka and Icesis Couture, it’s time to make room for a new Queen of the North.

Canada’s Drag Race crowned its third-ever winner on Thursday in a dramatic finale that saw the final four queens of Season 3 — Gisèle Lullaby, Jada Shada Hudson, Kimmy Couture and Miss Fiercalicious — face off in an all-out smackdown for the win.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Monét X Change runs down the tricks and trades of the newest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” with a guest host. Following Friday’s ninth episode, season 11 runner-up and co-host of “Canada’s Drag Race” Brooke Lynn Hytes stops by for the chance to call Monét’s wig a toilet cleaner. Somewhere along the way the girls also dish the DragCon panel episode “Menzeses” and make their statement on the current state of the race. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.

In their recap, Monét and Brooke Lynn related to Willow Pill‘s reserved approach to the competition as opposed to Daya Betty‘s loud competitiveness, but then agree that especially in the mini challenges it is important to “just be stupid.” Monét gives props to Willow for winning the mini challenge and then say she’s...

Paramount Plus has announced that its upcoming live-action “The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder” series will premiere March 31.

Season 1 of “The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder” will be made up of 13 episodes. The series follows Nickelodeon’s animated “The Fairly OddParents” program, which ran from 2001-2017 and focused on the adventures of Timmy Turner and his fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, who magically granted wishes.

The latest chapter is set to focus on Timmy’s cousin, Vivian “Viv” Turner (Audrey Grace Marshall), and her stepbrother, Roy Raskin (Tyler Wladis), as the two face life in Dimmsdale with the help of the fairy godparents. In addition to Marshall and Wladis “The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder” will also star Laura Bell Bundy as Rachel Raskin, Ryan-James Hatanaka as Ty Turner and Imogen Cohen as Zina Zacarias. Original voice cast Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris return to voice Wanda and Cosmo (who remain animated in the new series), respectively.

On the February 1 premiere of “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs. The World,” RuPaul Charles brought together nine all-stars from the series’ many franchises to compete against each other in the ultimate contest to find the “queen of the mother-tucking world.” Hosted in the United Kingdom, the new series sets three queens from the UK franchise as hosts to six other competitors. After a talent showcase, Lemon (5th place on “Canada’s Drag Race” season 1) and Janey Jacké (2nd placeon “Drag Race Holland” season 1) fell to the bottom. In traditional All Stars rules, the top two lipsynced for the right to send one of the bottom two home. In that lipsync, host of “Drag Race Thailand” Pangina Heals defeated “Canada’s Drag Race” season 1 fourth-placer Jimbo and sent her sister Lemon packing.

There’s no date set for when “Canada’s Drag Race” Season 2 will premiere, but last month fans got more news about the judges’ panel shakeup that’s been in flux since March. Two judges are out and three new ones have been named.

Season 1 saw “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 11 runner-up Brooke Lynn Hytes, actor Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and model Stacey McKenzie judging the 12 competing queens. In March, Jeffrey announced he wouldn’t be returning to the show, and in late June Stacey followed his lead. That left Brooke Lynn as the sole returning judge from Season 1.

The three new judges joining Brooke Lynn are actress Amanda Brugel, fashion stylist Brad Goreski and broadcaster Traci Melchor. Brooke Lynn, known as Brock Edward Hayhoe when not in drag, is a gay man, as is Brad. Both Amanda and Traci are straight women. The 50-50 split between gay men and straight women leaves zero...

Canada’s Drag Race will be serving some very different looks when it returns for Season 2 later this year.

Following the news that neither Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman nor Stacey McKenzie will be returning as judges, we can officially welcome their replacements to the panel: Handmaid’s Tale actress Amanda Brugel and celebrity stylist Brad Goreski. Additionally, Season 1 correspondent Traci Melchor is being bumped up to full-time judge. That trio joins Brooke Lynn Hytes, the only returning judge from Season 1.

The Disney Plus “Doogie Howser” reboot, “Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.,” has cast Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman in a series regular role, Variety has learned exclusively.

Bowyer-Chapman joins previously announced cast members Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Kathleen Rose Perkins. The rebooted series will focus on Lahela “Doogie” Kameāloha (Lee), a mixed race 16-year-old girl who works as a doctor in Hawaii. The 10-episode half-hour comedy follows Kameāloha as she juggles a budding medical career and life as a teenager. Guiding Lahela (and also complicating things) is her family, including her spit-fire Irish mother (Perkins) who’s also her supervisor at the hospital, and her Hawaiian “Local Boy” father struggling to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.

Bowyer-Chapmen stars as Charles, a Midwest transplant to the islands. He is a fellow resident at the hospital where Lahela works and is part of the cool adult world that looks so awesome to her.
