    ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10’ Drops Star-Studded Trailer Featuring Ariana Grande, Chappell Roan, and a Brand New Format

    Start your engines—and make room in the werkroom. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is returning for its 10th season on May 9, and this time it’s bigger, queerer, and witchier than ever.

    With a star-studded guest judge lineup and the largest cast in All Stars herstory, All Stars 10 promises high-stakes glamour, jaw-dropping performances, and a brand-new “Tournament of All Stars” format that could shake up the franchise forever.

    Grande, Erivo, and Roan… Oh My!

    In a teaser trailer that sent fans into a glittery meltdown, Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande storm the werkroom with the line: “The witches will see you now!” Queens lose it (as they should), and honestly, so did we.

    Meanwhile, queer pop icon Chappell Roan makes her entrance in a wig cap and robe, dryly asking the queens, “Do any of you queers have something sexy I can slip into?” Consider the bar for guest judge entrances raised.

    Buffy Is Back—and She Brought Ice Spice

    The judging panel this season reads like a who’s who of queer icons, Oscar nominees, viral hitmakers, and cult TV legends.

    Joining RuPaul and resident judges Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley, Ts Madison, Jamal Sims, and Law Roach are a diverse slate of guest judges, including:

    Meet the Queens

    Season 10 features a jaw-dropping 18 returning queens—making it the most packed All Stars season yet. Competing queens include:

    This diverse cast spans fan favorites, controversial queens, early outs, and redemption-seekers—all bringing a mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent back to the main stage.

    New Format: The Tournament of All Stars

    Drag Race All Stars 10 will debut a brand-new structure known as the Tournament of All Stars. According to a press release from Paramount+:

    “The queens will be divided into three groups of six, each competing in their own bracket across three episodes. At the end of each bracket, the top three queens with the highest point totals will then advance to the semi-finals.”

    From there, it’s a high-stakes dash to the crown. The finalists will face off in an epic Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown, with one queen ultimately earning a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

    And yes, Untucked will be back too—because if you’re not watching Untucked, you’re only getting half the tea.

    How to Watch

    RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 premieres May 9 exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and WOW Presents Plus internationally.

    Watch the full trailer now and get ready for the ultimate drag battle royale—glamour, chaos, and glitter bombs included.

  • Lydia B. Kollins Dives Into ‘Drag Race All Stars 10’ Just A Week After Season 17: “What Do I Have to Lose?”

    Lydia B. Kollins Dives Into ‘Drag Race All Stars 10’ Just A Week After Season 17: “What Do I Have to Lose?”

    Lydia B. Kollins barely had time to unpack her wigs from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 17 before being whisked back into the Werk Room for another round of fierce competition. The fan-favorite queen has confirmed she joined the massive cast of All Stars 10 just weeks after wrapping up her debut season.

    In an interview with The Playlist, Kollins revealed that she had about five days—yes, days—to prepare for her second Drag Race run. “I had gotten back from Season 17 filming, and it was like three weeks later they called [with the All Stars 10 invite],” she said. “And I had about five days to a week to sort of get it all prepared and ready, but it was chill.”

    Chill? Maybe for her. Fans on social media couldn’t believe the turnaround.

    Another fan gushed, “Lydia’s AS10 casting is probably the craziest & gaggiest AS casting they’ve ever done. It’s kinda iconic.”

    Despite the whirlwind schedule, Lydia didn’t hesitate when offered a second shot at the crown. “It was an automatic yes,” she said. “To go back, I feel like you can’t pass up on an opportunity to A, be on TV, and also B, get to share your art in front of RuPaul. So yeah, automatically, I was like, ‘F**k yeah, why not? What do I have to lose?’”

    She described the experience as surreal. “I feel like I’m in two different timelines at the same time. So it’s been a lot… late-night breakdowns do be happening, but I think I’m handling it pretty well. I’m keeping my head above water.”

  • Bob the Drag Queen Isn’t Returning to Drag Race and He’s More Than Fine With It

    Bob the Drag Queen Isn’t Returning to Drag Race and He’s More Than Fine With It

    Sad news for Drag Race fans hoping to see Bob the Drag Queen back on RuPaul’s Drag Race—it seems the season eight winner has officially hung up his competition heels for good. In the latest episode of Boyfriend Material, hosted by Harry Jowsey, Bob made it clear that he has no plans to return to the Drag Race runway as a contestant.

    When Jowsey asked if he would consider going back to RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bob responded, “I think I’m good,” adding, “I won already. Also, going to All Stars is, no shade, but that’s for losers. Go back to when you lost and I won.”

    Though Bob joked about the All Stars season, he did acknowledge the Drag Race franchise’s All-Winners season in 2022, which he was notably absent from. “In their defense, I was busy and probably would’ve said no anyway, but it is true that I wasn’t invited,” Bob shared, giving a cheeky nod to his exclusion.

    Since snatching the crown in season eight, Bob has become one of the most successful queens in Drag Race herstory. Far beyond the confines of the Drag Race stage, he’s been busy racking up impressive credits. Bob became a regular cast member on the Emmy-winning HBO series We’re Here, starred in the third season of The Traitors, and continues to earn praise for his podcast Sibling Rivalry, where he teams up with fellow Drag Race winner Monét X Change.

    Bob’s other accolades include serving as Madonna‘s emcee for her Celebration Tour, starring in a number of comedy specials, and recently releasing his debut novel, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert. His resume also boasts notable appearances in A Black Lady Sketch Show, Tales of the City, Lucifer, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, Legendary, Trixie Motel, The Simpsons, Hell’s Kitchen, and Doctor Odyssey—just to name a few.

    In his interview with Jowsey, Bob also opened up about his time on Madonna’s tour, calling it a “fun, grueling, and thrilling” experience. He also reflected on his surprisingly early exit from The Traitors, and even gave a glimpse into his polyamorous relationship, describing it as “like a diagram with ribbon and yarn” and “like investigating a murder.”

    For those hoping to see Bob back in the Drag Race workroom, it looks like they’ll need to settle for his many other TV and stage appearances. You can watch the full interview below for more insight into Bob’s colorful life and career.

  • ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 17 Queen to ‘All Stars 10?’ Shocking Rumors Emerge!

    ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 17 Queen to ‘All Stars 10?’ Shocking Rumors Emerge!

    The seventeenth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race hasn’t even wrapped up yet, but one queen from the current season is already rumored to have filmed for the next season of All Stars. If true, this would mark a significant moment in the show’s history.

    Warning: Spoilers for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 and All Stars 10 follow.

    The Drag Race franchise, which has been a mainstay on television for over a decade, shows no signs of slowing down. With the confirmation of Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale and the already filmed seasons of Drag Race UK and UK vs. the World, the iconic reality competition is expanding globally. However, all eyes are now on the highly anticipated All Stars 10 season, which fans believe will feature a larger-than-usual cast and a new format.

    According to online rumors, All Stars 10 will have 18 former Drag Race contestants competing, and for the first time in the show’s history, there will be a mid-season break for filming. While the full cast list is still unconfirmed, fans have zeroed in on one queen who might have already filmed her part for the season: Lydia B. Kollins, who recently won the Villains’ Roast in Season 17.

    Lydia B. Kollins, known for her quick wit and fierce sense of humor, is said to have “gone off-grid” around the time All Stars 10 filming reportedly took place. This timing has sparked speculation that she might be one of the queens returning for the season. If true, Lydia would join a select group of queens who returned to the Werk Room directly after competing in a regular season. This rare feat has been accomplished by queens such as Latrice Royale, Chad Michaels, Aja, Monét X Change, and Mo Heart.

    Adding to the intrigue, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, one of the queens Lydia roasted in her Villains’ Roast performance, is also rumored to be part of the All Stars 10 cast. Will the two queens form an alliance, or will their past rivalry fuel a dramatic showdown? Only time will tell, but as RuPaul always says, “We can’t wait to see how this turns out.”

    As for the ongoing RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17, new episodes continue to air every Friday on MTV in the U.S. and on WOW Presents Plus internationally. Fans will have to wait and see how the current season plays out, but with rumors swirling about the upcoming All Stars season, there’s no shortage of drama in the Drag Race universe.
