  • ‘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.

  • Bella Ramsey’s Revelation: Autism Diagnosis “Freeing,” But Gender Labels Feel “Trapping”

    Bella Ramsey’s Revelation: Autism Diagnosis “Freeing,” But Gender Labels Feel “Trapping”

    Bella Ramsey, known for their role in The Last of Us, opened up about how their autism diagnosis has brought a sense of relief but also how they feel trapped by gender labels.

    In an interview, the 19-year-old actor, who portrays Ellie in the hit HBO series, shared their thoughts on being neurodivergent and how it has shaped their identity. “I’ve spoken a bit about neurodivergence before, but I always, for some reason, didn’t want to. I felt like I didn’t want to say what it was,” Ramsey said, reflecting on their experience. They went on to explain that they were diagnosed with autism while filming the first season of The Last of Us, an experience that was, in many ways, liberating.

    “[The diagnosis] was freeing,” Ramsey explained. “It enables me to walk through the world with more grace towards myself about not being able to do the easy everyday tasks that everyone else seems to be able to do.”

    The diagnosis, Ramsey said, helped them better understand their own neurodivergent experience. “My experience of moving through the world is as an autistic person,” they added. “There’s no reason for people not to know.”

    While the autism diagnosis provided clarity, Ramsey also spoke candidly about the challenges of navigating gender and sexuality in the public eye. “The label of being autistic has been so helpful to me because that’s helped me to understand myself, but gender and sexuality-wise, labels do not feel comfy for me in any capacity, because I feel like I’m putting myself into a box,” they explained. “I feel trapped.”

    The actor expressed frustration about how labels related to gender and sexuality can feel limiting. “It does make me a bit sad that people who aren’t in the public eye can explore their gender identity or sexuality in private,” Ramsey continued. “That’s a privilege I don’t really get anymore.”

    As a public figure, Ramsey noted that any exploration of their gender identity or sexuality would likely be done under the scrutiny of the public eye. “If I did want to explore other things, like facets of my gender identity, that would be done publicly,” they said. “As much as I would try and keep it private, if someone recognizes me on the street, say if I’m presenting differently, [and] takes a photo, then that is just talked about.”

    Their comments shed light on the unique challenges faced by public figures when it comes to navigating personal identity. While exploring gender identity and sexuality is a personal journey for many, Ramsey highlighted the added layer of visibility that comes with fame and the loss of privacy that often accompanies it.

    Ramsey has been an advocate for mental health and neurodiversity, using their platform to bring attention to issues that affect the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. Their openness about their autism diagnosis has resonated with many fans, and their thoughts on gender and sexuality provide insight into the complexities of being a young person in the public eye.

    As Ramsey continues to define themselves on their own terms, their journey speaks to the broader conversation around self-discovery and the importance of creating space for people to explore their identities, regardless of societal expectations or public perception.

    R&B star Khalid is set to take the stage at the WorldPride festival in Washington, D.C., joining a star-studded lineup that celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Pride in the nation’s capital. The singer, alongside 2AM Ricky and Brooke Eden Hoover, was recently announced as one of the performers for the “free WorldPride DC Street Festival + Closing Concert with Doechii” on Sunday, June 8.

    The announcement was made via an Instagram post from the Capital Pride Alliance & WorldPride Washington, DC 2025, expressing excitement about the event and its historic significance. “We’re so excited to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Pride In Our Nation’s Capital with this incredible lineup,” the post read.

    The WorldPride festival, the largest LGBTQ+ music festival in history, will take place from June 6-7 and is just one highlight of Washington D.C.’s month-long LGBTQ+ celebrations, running from May 17 to June 8. The festival will feature an impressive array of talent, including Jennifer Lopez, Troye Sivan, RuPaul, Tinashe, Kim Petras, Sasha Colby, and more. Earlier this month, Cynthia Erivo and Doechii were also confirmed as part of the event’s exciting lineup.

    Khalid’s participation in the festival will be his first appearance on a Pride stage, marking a significant moment for the Grammy Award-nominated singer who came out publicly last year. Khalid had kept his sexuality private for much of his career, but in November, a photo posted by social media personality Hugo D Almonte sparked widespread speculation about his orientation. The post, which featured Khalid and Almonte with a caption alluding to a personal altercation, led to social media rumors.

    Khalid took to X to address the situation, posting a rainbow flag emoji followed by exclamation points. He wrote, “There y’all go. Next topic please lol,” before sharing, “I got outted and the world still continues to turn. Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality, it ain’t nobody’s business! But I am okay with me. love y’all.”

    Despite the unexpected circumstances surrounding his coming out, Khalid has embraced his identity and is now set to perform proudly at WorldPride. His appearance at the festival is a powerful celebration of self-acceptance and a significant moment in the artist’s journey. Fans are eagerly anticipating his performance as Khalid continues to be an inspiration to his LGBTQ+ community.

  • “She’s Not Real!” Plane Jane Accuses Coco Montrese of AI Takeover

    “She’s Not Real!” Plane Jane Accuses Coco Montrese of AI Takeover

    Hold onto your wigs, she’s got opinions!

    Plane Jane, a standout from season 16 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” continues to deliver unfiltered commentary, this time targeting fellow queen Coco Montrese and her social media presence. Speaking at the “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live” 1000th Show in Las Vegas, Jane playfully accused Montrese of excessive photo editing.

    “Is Coco Montrese here? She’s become AI now. She’s become a filter,” Jane told PRIDE. “She’s just been sucked into the generative world of AI and filters. She’s not a real person. I don’t think anyone’s seen the real Coco. Coco, where are you?!”

    Despite her penchant for stirring the pot, Jane remains a favorite among fans and RuPaul herself. “I feel like a winner just being part of this iconic 1000th Vegas show and still being on Mama Ru‘s radar,” Jane said. “Every time Mama Ru looks at me, she says ‘burger finger!’ I know that the Alzheimer’s temporarily [stops] and she experiences a temporary moment of clarity. She recognizes me as her true daughter!”

    Fresh off her Future All-Star Award at the Queerties, Jane expressed openness to returning to the “Drag Race” franchise, even suggesting a unique international spin. “I’m not counting ‘All Stars’ out in the future. I would love to host my own franchise. I would love to host a Slavic version of ‘Drag Race,’” she said. “Let’s wake that up! I know the LGBTQ+ laws are a little wild, but who’s to say we won’t overthrow Putin? ‘Drag Race Russia’ honey!”

    Jane’s ambitions extend beyond “Drag Race,” with a desire to explore other reality television opportunities. “I am manifesting more television! I think I was made for the screen and the stage. I can do it all honey, unlike many of these girls who have cycled in and swiftly out of the franchise!” she said, referencing the recent Emmy win of “Traitors” over “Drag Race.” “You could never. Our season didn’t win the Emmy. ‘Traitors’ won the Emmy, so I need to jump ship!”

    Predicting the fate of the upcoming “Drag Race” season at the Emmys, Jane offered a candid critique. “Good luck to ‘Drag Race’ this cycle at the Emmys. Nine nominations, not ten like our season… and not as talented of a cast. Who’s the Plane Jane of the season? Who’s the star? Nobody honey! They can’t even reach 100,000 [followers] on Instagram. Nobody cares. You’re all losers!”

    Vogueing Pedro: Pascal’s Sensational Dancing Rocks AirPods Commercial

    Pedro Pascal is giving fans yet another reason to swoon in his latest commercial for Apple’s AirPods 4. The actor, known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, is seen dancing up a storm in the new short film, titled “Someday,” directed by Her filmmaker Spike Jonze.

    The quirky commercial follows the story of a man grappling with a breakup who transforms his bleak, Arctic surroundings into a vibrant dreamscape — all thanks to the power of his AirPods’ Active Noise Cancellation feature. While the premise may be unconventional, Pascal’s infectious charm and energy bring the commercial to life, making it an instant hit with viewers.

    In the ad, Pascal, 49, isn’t just a handsome face; he shows off some impressive dance moves that have the internet buzzing. Despite not being a classically trained dancer, Pascal worked with Tanisha Scott, a renowned choreographer who has worked with Rihanna and Beyoncé, to perfect his routine. Pascal’s dance style ranges from voguing to full-on lip-syncing, with one memorable moment where he performs to the lyrics, “You’re perfect / Now work it.” The move is bound to make even the most hardened viewer smile — and some, perhaps, blush.

    The short film also features the beautiful ballad “Conticinio” by Guitarricadelafuente and the upbeat track “Perfect,” which further elevate Pascal’s performance. The combination of music, dance, and Pascal’s undeniable charisma has captivated audiences worldwide, with many fans and internet users showering the ad with praise.

    It’s safe to say the internet is thoroughly entertained and charmed.

    It’s not the first time Pascal has left the internet swooning with his dance moves. Fans might remember the time the actor posted an Instagram Story where he channeled a seductive scene from The House of Gucci, dancing to George Michael’s “Faith.”

    Additionally, Pascal’s on-screen camaraderie with fellow actors, including Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Paul Mescal, has often sparked playful fan reactions.

    For those eagerly awaiting Pascal’s next film, his upcoming project Materialists promises a different kind of charm. In the film, directed by Past Lives director Celine Song, Pascal plays a wealthy millionaire vying for the attention of Lucy, portrayed by Dakota Johnson. He competes with a struggling actor-waiter, played by Chris Evans. However, as one Twitter user aptly pointed out, “I’m supposed to believe in a world where someone would choose Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal? Not in my world.”

    Whether he’s dancing, acting, or simply being his charismatic self, Pascal continues to captivate audiences and prove that his talent goes far beyond his leading roles in blockbuster TV series and films. As for now, his viral dance moves are likely to keep him in the spotlight for quite some time.

  • Doechii Introduces Lady Gaga at iHeart Radio Awards: ‘Lady Gaga Wasn’t Just a Pop Star, She Was a Lifeline’

    Doechii Introduces Lady Gaga at iHeart Radio Awards: ‘Lady Gaga Wasn’t Just a Pop Star, She Was a Lifeline’

    Lady Gaga was honored with the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday night in a star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles. The pop icon, known for her groundbreaking music and boundary-pushing performances, was introduced by rapper Doechii, who shared a heartfelt tribute to Gaga’s impact on her life and career.

    Doechii, a Grammy Award-winning artist, spoke about how Gaga’s influence helped her navigate her own identity growing up. “Growing up, I was nothing like most of the people I was around, and everything about me represented a community of alternative kids that were underrepresented in my environment,” Doechii said. “I was considered weird, but it’s OK, because things worked out. As a kid that identified as an artist, as queer, and as a Little Monster, Lady Gaga wasn’t just a pop star, she was a lifeline. Gaga taught us that it was OK to be our real selves, to try new things, to speak out, and to create.”

    The rapper further highlighted Gaga’s evolution as an artist, noting her continuous reinvention over the past two decades. “Gaga was and always is new, fresh, and different. And not only is that OK, but it’s ideal. Over the last two decades, her music, her art has constantly evolved from dance floor anthems to pop rock to jazz standards. She has pushed boundaries, including her own, and made all of us feel like we belong,” Doechii said. “Lady Gaga is an innovator because she has to be. She was born that way, and we love her for it. Lady Gaga isn’t just a pop star, but she is your iHeartRadio innovator.”

    When Gaga took the stage to accept the prestigious award, she expressed her gratitude to Doechii and the fans who have supported her throughout her career. “I think we can all agree that Doechii is an innovator already,” Gaga said, thanking the rapper for her touching words. “Thank you, Doechii. I’m really, deeply touched by your words.”

    The 37-year-old singer, who released her seventh studio album Mayhem earlier this year, also reflected on the ongoing journey of her career. “Innovation isn’t about breaking rules, it’s about writing your own and convincing the world they were theirs all along,” she said.

    During her acceptance speech, Gaga took a moment to express her appreciation for her loyal fanbase, affectionately known as her Little Monsters, and the LGBTQ+ community. “Thank you for always seeing me so clearly, from The Fame to Mayhem. Because you saw me, I learned to see myself,” she said. “And to the LGBTQ+ community, you taught me bravery before the world was ready to listen. You changed the world for the better and your courage fuels mine every single day.”

    Gaga’s speech was a powerful reminder of the immense impact she has had on both the music industry and on her fans. From her rise to fame with The Fame in 2008 to her current musical evolution, she has continuously challenged expectations and redefined what it means to be an artist.

    The Innovator Award is just the latest recognition in Gaga’s illustrious career, which spans multiple genres, including pop, jazz, and rock, and showcases her exceptional talent not only as a singer but also as an actress and advocate for social change. As she continues to evolve as both an artist and a public figure, Gaga’s influence shows no signs of waning.

    In addition to her music career, Gaga remains a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice, using her platform to speak out for marginalized communities and inspire others to embrace their true selves. As she continues to push boundaries and innovate in all aspects of her life, Lady Gaga’s legacy as a cultural trailblazer is firmly cemented.

  • Hallmark Heartthrob Gets Dirty: Luke Macfarlane Unveils His “Inner Hippie”

    Hallmark Heartthrob Gets Dirty: Luke Macfarlane Unveils His “Inner Hippie”

    Luke Macfarlane, the Canadian actor best known for his role on Brothers & Sisters and his Hallmark rom-coms, is embracing a new chapter in his career. The 45-year-old star is revealing more about himself—both personally and professionally—as he steps into a new role as host of Home Is Where the Heart Is, a home renovation show that premieres March 20 on Hallmark Plus.

    In a recent photo shoot for Out magazine, Macfarlane checked a few personal boxes—literally. The actor wanted to be outdoors, get dirty, and, yes, even submerge himself in a stream. The photo shoot, held on a picturesque day in Malibu, saw him digging, working with a shovel, and embracing nature. Macfarlane says his inspiration for the shoot stemmed from a childhood spent outdoors. “I remember being a kid when you’re by yourself and you just felt a little wild, a little free,” he recalls.

    The shoot marked a personal moment for Macfarlane, who typically keeps his physique under wraps in public. “I’m not gonna look this way forever,” he admits. “Why do I go to the gym if I don’t show it?” With a playful push against his friends’ teasing that he’s “sometimes a little bit stiff,” he embraced his “inner hippie” side during the photoshoot. For Macfarlane, it’s all about presenting a more authentic side of himself.

    This new openness aligns with his latest venture on Home Is Where the Heart Is. As an executive producer and host, Macfarlane teams up with designer Olivia Westbrooks to help families transform their homes. His love of carpentry, which began in his childhood and was nurtured by his father, takes center stage in the series. Macfarlane reflects on his father’s craftsmanship, describing how his dad “completely rebuilt” their childhood home. “Woodworking was an act of love,” Macfarlane says, and that same sentiment continues to shape his own passion for building and restoring.

    On the show, Macfarlane crafts custom wood pieces for each family he works with. In the first episode, he creates a door for a children’s nook under the stairs, a charming gift he presents to the family. “Do you know what they call sawdust? Carpenter fairy dust,” he jokes during one scene, fully embracing his “hands-on” approach to the craft.

    For Macfarlane, the show offers a platform to share a more personal side of himself. Despite any public assumptions about his masculinity, particularly regarding his passion for woodworking, he emphasizes that this is no publicity stunt. “This is a very true, authentic piece of myself,” he asserts. “And it comes from a real place.”

    The Hallmark Channel has played a significant role in Macfarlane’s career, allowing him to expand beyond the romantic roles he is known for. Since his first Hallmark film, The Memory Book, in 2014, the actor has continued to evolve, even portraying an openly gay character in 2023’s Notes of Autumn. “They’ve let me play an out gay man on their network,” Macfarlane says, acknowledging the channel’s support as he navigates his changing career.

    Photo: John Russo for Out

    Macfarlane’s latest projects reflect his broadening horizons. He’s slated to star in the young-adult zombie film This Is Not a Test and has returned for the second season of Platonic on Apple TV. Known for his diverse roles, Macfarlane admires actors like Bradley Cooper and Timothée Chalamet for their ability to juggle different genres and artistic pursuits.

    Beyond his professional milestones, Macfarlane’s personal life has also undergone a significant transformation. He and his partner, former professional skier Hig Roberts, became parents in June 2023 with the birth of their daughter, Tess. Parenthood has profoundly impacted Macfarlane, nurturing qualities of compassion and patience that have deepened his relationships. “I’m so much more loving and compassionate with other people,” he reflects.

    Despite his evolving public persona, Macfarlane remains rooted in his values. He credits his upbringing and faith for grounding him in times of personal and political upheaval. “I just wish people would operate a little bit more from, ‘How was the other person feeling?’” he says, addressing the current political divide. “That’s something that I’ve learned from scripture. It’s not about demanding results; it’s about understanding each other.”

    In Home Is Where the Heart Is, Macfarlane seeks to connect with viewers not just through renovation, but through his philosophy on home and family. He believes that a home has a soul and should reflect its history. “We don’t always represent ourselves with the same intentionality in our homes as we do with our clothes,” he says, underscoring his belief in honoring a space’s past while crafting something new.

    As he continues to evolve as both a public figure and a father, Macfarlane remains grateful for the community that has supported him throughout his career. “I’m lucky to belong to a community that is interested in how I’m developing,” he says. “And I hope you’re just as interested in my life now as you were when I was 22 years old.”

    With his career entering a new phase, Macfarlane is embracing his passions for woodworking, acting, and fatherhood. Whether on screen or at home, he’s proving that it’s never too late to share new sides of yourself—and never too late to get your hands dirty.

  • From Brando to Broadway: Brandon Flynn Speaks Out on Sexuality and Career Limits

    From Brando to Broadway: Brandon Flynn Speaks Out on Sexuality and Career Limits

    Brandon Flynn who currently stars in the Off-Broadway play “Kowalski” has opened up about his career, the influence of LGBTQ+ pioneers, and his aspirations for more mature roles. The actor, who trained extensively in conservatory, says the current role allows him to utilize his skills in character development.

    “I spent most of my teenage years and my young adult years training to be an actor at conservatory,” he stated. “I feel like I’m really able to access a lot of that technique with this [the Off-Broadway play ‘Kowalski’] in creating a character. Right now, I feel like I’m really getting the opportunity to physically and vocally make shifts and make them feel natural.”

    He cited Marlon Brando and Tennessee Williams as examples of figures who were remarkably open about their sexuality. “I mean, [Marlon Brando was] in an interview saying, ‘Yes, I’ve slept with men. Yes, I’ve slept with women. What’s the big deal?’; which was quite remarkable. I mean, same with Tennessee Williams. He was quite remarkably out,” he said.

    Brandon Flynn acknowledged the potential impact of his own sexual orientation on his career trajectory. “My career, I’m assuming, looks a certain way because I am an out actor. How many of us are working at a high level?” he questioned, raising concerns about representation within the industry.

    Despite potential challenges, he expressed optimism about the future. “There’s still a lot more that I want to do. I don’t always feel like I’m in the room for those conversations. But I’m very optimistic that there’s plenty of time,” he said.

    The actor also voiced a desire to transition into more mature roles. “I realize I’m a 31-year-old man who still gets carded and I look young and I don’t necessarily want to keep playing young roles. I want to play adult roles and be in adult films,” he stated, expressing a desire to expand his range and take on more challenging projects.
