Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Three celebs will battle it out in each episode for the title of America’s Next Celebrity Drag Superstar. The winner will receive prize money, donated to charity, of course.
The limited series — only four episodes are being produced — will run on VH1. No word yet on who the celebrity guests will be.

I love Drag Race, but my God, they are in overkill mode. Someone needs to show Ru the Simpsons “I didn’t do it” episode.
