Todrick Hall has just landed a hosting gig with a new HGTV show.
Hall and designer Kim Myles will be hunting down “shockingly extra” homes on Battle of the Bling. The new, five-part series will showcase properties that feature OTT decor and unique interiors.
Battle of the Bling will debut tomorrow, December 9. The pair will visit 15 different properties. One has a shockingly retro ’70s design, while another has a hall inspired by Game Of Thrones.

“Bling is a way of life for me,” Hall said. “The queen in me is honored to get to celebrate people who are as extra as I am with my fellow high style expert, Kim. Once we’ve tested their bling, we’ll rate the houses on a scale of fab to drab based on their wow factor, originality and overall look.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Todrick Hall’s 2022 highs and lows
The singer, dancer, and social media influencer has had his fair share of ups and downs this year. First, there was the fallout from his controversial appearance and gameplay on Celebrity Big Brother. Then a former landlord sued him for $60,000 in unpaid rent.

On the plus side, he undertook an extensive tour across the US, Europe and Australia. He also appeared on the Masked Singer. In addition to his new on HGTV, Hall has a new track out this week. He’s releasing a festive duet, called “Snow Falling” with singer Chance Dalton.
“I am blessed”
On his Instagram stories yesterday, Hall posted a video of himself chilling out in the pool of his LA home.
Taking a break from making Cameo videos for fans, he said, “I’m feeling so optimistic about going into 2023, and I just want to share this with anyone who might be feeling the way I felt at the beginning of this year. Because it has been a rollercoaster, and I did not think is the way I was going to feel as we go into the holidays.”

He continued, “People tried to say that my tour would be canceled and no one would come and it would be a flop. I was almost sold out in over 61 shows internationally. They tried to say I lied about buying my house and I was going to get evicted. I’m still here. Lights are on. Bills are paid.”
“They basically said that I was going to be canceled. And as we come into the New Year, I am just blessed. I have six new shows that I have filmed coming up. And the year hasn’t even started. Keep your head up. Stay focused. And haters, if you’re watching this, because I know you are, you work hard, but I work harder.”
He posted a similar text message, saying, “People are trying to pull me down AS WE SPEAK, but I am soaring. I got a praying mama and devoted fans, got the mud off my wings and in 2023 I’m SOARING.”

I’ve never understood the appeal of watching this smug queen. First it was the Disney I’m a princes videos. Then I’m a sexed up flamboyant queen videos. I can’t imagine anyone paying to go see that. Now HDTV needs an available queen to get their gay audience I guess.
I am amazed by her talent of skipping out on paying anyone though. Well, till the court stepped in of course. Lol

well there’s always fonzi reruns or whatever that show was called

I’m very much looking forward to NOT watching this show. If I want to watch gay guys on HGTV, I’ll stick with “Bargain Block.” Evan and Keith are the best!!

Just what HGTV doesn’t need.

If they had paired him with Megan McCain I might have watched it, HGTV missed a chance to display the Hatfields and McCoys.

I really don’t think this man deserves the amount of spitefulness directed towards him and I DO think, if he were not Black, it would not be so bitter

Go ahead & find another drag queen who has the history of not paying the people working for him and let’s compare.

He almost doesn’t look like himself in that top photo. He’s grown a beard and gotten a little thick. Mmm. Too bad the even with the cosmetic changes it’ll still be the same person who acted like such an @ss on Celebrity Big Brother and refused to take ownership of it, and also allegedly refused to pay his hardworking dancers.

Not the type of thing I find entertaining.

Both of them are PAINFUL!

He has some talent. Not a ton. Surely not enough to justify the ego and behavior. Enough to make a show that is entertaining? Don’t know. I wish him well.
