RuPaul’s Drag Race kicked off its sixth season with seven contestants battling it out for six available spots in part one of the premiere.
Next week, the premiere will conclude with seven more contestants being put to the test, and finally in week three the surviving 12 will come together for the competition. The two-part premiere is not the only trick RuPaul had up her sleeve. Another big change this season is there will be absolutely no immunity from eliminations.
First things first, RuPaul opened the show with her usual flair and introduced us to the Queens:
Adore Delano, aka Danny Noriega, is perhaps one of the less experienced of the contestants, but she has enough sass to fill any room. Noriega is no stranger to reality tv competition. He was a contestant on Season 7 of American Idol.
Gia Gunn and Vivacious wowed with their extravagant outfits, with Gunn arriving...

Though The A-List: New York was essentially a slow-motion, more obviously manipulated version of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it's not the most unbearable show to think about in retrospect. I even have a fondness for the petty theatrics of Reichen Lehmkuhl, Mike Ruiz, Rod-i-ney, and the gamely naked Austin Armacost. Yes, it was sleaze, but it was harmless sleaze.
Since Logo's series went off the air in 2011, Armacost -- billed on the show as Lehmkuhl's ex-boyfriend -- has apparently been keeping up the body that earned him so much attention over two seasons. We caught up with him on a photo shoot in the Hollywood hills for DNA Magazine featuring some skimpy Andrew Christian skivvies (as well as aussieBum, 2xist, & Body Tech), and we thought we'd see how much he still enjoys the attention. Newsflash: He does. And he's pretty upfront -- and, honestly, really nice -- about it!

Tgif, smizers! The modeling world meets that of video games in tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model: College Edition. With many video games dropping before the holiday season, I suppose this challenge is relevant enough. The remaining eight models are asked to jump into a virtual world.
After playing heroines, guest photographer Mike Ruiz welcomes the models into a setting where the Victorian era meets industrialization. One model in particular fails to leave her new-found video game strength behind, and Bryanboy is caught in the crossfire.

Mike Ruiz, the acclaimed celebrity and fashion photographer who also stars in The A-List: New York, took some time to catch up with me and share his latest book project, Pretty Masculine.
Where are you today?
I'm in Apple Valley shooting about 10 guys for my expanding Pretty Masculine project. We've been out in a dry lake bed. Our makeup artist brought us to this remote location he knows about, and it's actually very cool. Compared with the chill of New York City right now, it's 80 degrees and sunny here. The light and the weather have been awesome.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about Pretty Masculine?
I had been working with a guy who did an event where a number of models were body painted, and I just thought, "Wow, I'd really love to do a photo shoot with that." So the first series is featuring body painting that resembles tribal tattoos.

Logo has announced RuPaul's Drag Race will be making its way down the catwalk once again on Monday, January 30th at 9:00 for a special 90 minute premiere.

When I began to write this week's recap, Clippy, the little Windows animated assistant, popped up on my computer screen with the following message.
"It looks like you're searching for a reason to live. Would you like help?"
Boy, did I ever. You see, I knew I was in trouble the second this week's A-List: New York episode began inside Earwig's studio. No, that's not it. What's that dude's name?
Earthworm… Eardrum?
Edwing! That's it. As those of you who read these recaps and find joy in my weekly self-flagellation already know, I find that the clothing Edwing trots out for Ryan amounts to those torture devices Jigsaw straps to people in those Saw movies.
But it turns out that, for once, Ryan isn't the only willing fashion victim. Somehow, Ryan has recruited most of the A-List gang to wear these bizarre contraptions for Edwing's upcoming fashion show. This means,...

Another week, another episode of The A-List: New York. And what's one of the first images we come across in this week’s episode? Why, it’s Austin and a horse's ass.
Austin and hubby Jake begin this week’s episode riding horses on a beach at the Hamptons. When the guys dismount for a romantic beach picnic, in several shots, the entire left frame is filled with Seabuscuit’s posterior. And I knew in that moment that the symbolism gods were surely smiling at me.
Austin brings Jake to the beach for a romantic picnic to show that he’s truly (sorta-kinda) sorry about the fluff he received last week. But all Jake wants to talk about is Austin’s feud with Rodiney and having a traditionally big New York wedding. Come on, Jake. Open your eyes! And after you do, Run! It’s not too late to save yourself.

A screaming match. Onlookers ducking for cover. Punches being thrown. That's what happened in the Ae break room as a fight erupted over which one of us would have to recap The A-List: New York this season. None of us wanted to do it because, well, we're all sane.
But someone had to watch the show this season and while I fought really hard, Dennis throws a mean left hook and snicks is a biter. All of which is to say, welcome to The A-List Season Two recaps by BriOut!
Now I watched every episode of the first season because with shows like Two and a Half Men and CSI Miami on summer hiatus, I needed something new to hate.

Just about two and a half months ago, 13 drag queens began the Race to become America’s Next Drag Superstar. And over 11 episodes, we watched as the bewigged ranks lost all of the exciting big girls from this season and, last week, were pared down to just four glamorous contestants: Puerto Rican wacko Yara Sofia; the curvy (and also Puerto Rican) Alexis Mateo; the sassy Filipino Manila Luzon; and the ever-exotic Raja. Last night, we watched as — Spoiler Alert — Yara Sofia bit the dust (remember, she was saved before!), revealing a finale-competing trio of Alexis, Manila, and Raja. (See: the...

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas on last night’s season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which meant one queen had mistletoe strategically stuck to her backside, another channeled Marie Osmond at her Dancing With the Stars doll-costume finest/creepiest, and fabulous guest judge Vanessa Williams showed up to shake her snowglobes with mischievous delight. Yes, reality TV fans, just when you thought Santa’s 11-month hiatus was in full effect, down the chimney he came with a sordid, ridiculous event trimmed in false eyelashes, sequins, crushed ornaments, and tears.
A few front-runners emerged during the premiere.

It was a foregone conclusion that RuPaul would eventually bring back a sashayed, old queen from a past season to be a contestant again on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In the reality competition world, that move is nearly older than RuPaul herself. But the gal that was chosen for this extremely illustrious distinction was completely out of left field: It was none other than last season’s polarizing first-episode cast-off, the delightfully named Shangela! “And it’s Shangela!” said fellow contestant Mariah, in reaction. “Halle-lou!” she added, referencing Shangela’s “famous” sound bite. Halle-lou, indeed!
Truthfully, I was hoping for...

Oh Lordy! Monday night's Drag Race Season 3 premiere was expanded into a giant 2 1/2 hour block of Logo programming. At that rate, when will the network ever have time for Buffy re-runs?
Oh well, I can forgo yet another repeat viewing of "Once More With Feeling" in order to see some talented drag queens compete in a reality show. Especially a reality show that's a wild and gay[er] fusion of America's Next Top Model, Project Runway and Sarah Palin's Alaska!"
If this is your first time tuning in to RuPaul's Drag Race, then you're in for a treat!
First up in Logo's Mondays Are a Drag kick-off was a one-hour Drag Race casting special, then we had the first regular episode of the season, and finally there was a half-hour Untucked episode where we got to see the contestants backstage getting Absolut-ly wasted and taking catty swipes at one another.
But you know,...

'Cake Boss: Next Great Baker' (9Pm, Tlc) season 1 finale
It's down to the final challenge in this 'Cake Boss' spin-off (which was recently renewed for a second season), meaning either Dana, Corina or Megan will walk away with $50,000 in cash, a new car and an apprenticeship with Buddy Valastro at his Carlo's Bake Shop in New Jersey. There's no real frontrunner heading into the finale; though Dana may have made fewer missteps than his competitors, several challenges throughout the season saw the whole pool turn out such sloppy cake and decorating work that it felt like all of them should have been sent home. Here's hoping the final three really step up their game and prove they deserve that big prize, though we think Buddy is gonna have his mentoring work cut out for him no matter who ends up as the next great baker.

Logo has announced that it has renewed The A-List: New York for a second season. The original cast — Reichen Lehmkuhl, Rodiney Santiago, Mike Ruiz, Austin Armacost, Derek Lloyd Saathoff, Ryan Nickulas, and Tj Kelly — are all on tap to return. The network says fans can expect to see some new faces during the season as well. If only we can get some new voices.
The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz’s feature film directing debut will be Fun Size, a comedy about a girl who loses her little brother when taking him trick-or-treating. Did she check Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows? [THR]

Last night's premiere for RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 was held at Rage in West Hollywood and brought out a lot of star power. Among the familiar faces were Adam Lambert, Vanessa Williams and The A-List: New York's Mike Ruiz (who was overheard on the red carpet describing himself as "the Queen of Logo!")
Here's hoping that RuPaul and many of Drag Race's fabulous former contestants on hand last night (Raven, Ongina, Tammie Brown, etc.) didn't hear that. Otherwise, Mike might have a fight on his hands.
Luckily for us here at AfterElton.com, we had some friends on hand for the event (thanks Lisamarie, thanks Clint!) and they got some killer shots from the red carpet. Enjoy!

Monday, January 24th is going to be huge for fans of RuPaul's Drag Race. Tune into Logo (our parent company) at 8 Pm Est for the show's first-ever casting special, followed by a 90-minute season opener at 9 Pm Est, and then a new season of Untucked returns to the runway at 10:30 Pm Est. Guest judges this season include Lily Tomlin, Vanessa Williams, Johnny Weir, Margaret Cho, Sharon Osbourne, Mike Ruiz, and Susan Powter. I admit i squealed a bit when I saw that last name. Susan Powter! The "Stop the Insanity" lady from the 90's who rocked her Annie Lennox-circa "Missionary Man" look. She disappeared for a while, but came back (and came out) a few years ago.
This was inevitable. That terrorist collective is planning to picket the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards. Erasure has just released a new version...

Welcome A-List survivors! The reality series about "gay housewives" had its finale last week, and you know what that means. Our long national nightmare is over!
Or almost. We still have to get through the special reunion show hosted by the esteemed Wendy Williams.
Because Charles Lipton had a previous engagement. And too bad. Can you imagine an Inside the Actors' Studio episode devoted to Reichen Lehmkuhl?
Something tells me Reichen can!
But instead of the Actors' Studio, we're inside New York night club Amnesia where Wendy kicks things off by unclasping a red velvet rope and directly beckoning the television audience into the VIP area. "We're all on the A-List, tonight!" She says.
Which is a little unsettling. I'll stick it out and watch the show, but only if Wendy promises not to break the fourth wall again. Not sure I want to be in the same room with...

Welcome back A-List fans and horrified onlookers! It's the finale, and what better way to kick things off than Rodiney shirtless in a kitchen in Maine ringing a cowbell.
It's all downhill from there.
The other A-Listers assemble for their morning coffee and Derek comes traipsing in wearing a padded-shouldered, belted nightgown that Linda Evans might have rocked way back on Dynasty. Who knew Nolan Miller was designing menswear these days?
But then T.J. shows up, also in a traipsy little number, and I realize that their outfits are supposed to be a joke. It's sort of hard to tell with these guys, given their usual fashion choices.
After breakfast the boys go jet skiing out on the lake, but eventually Reichen and Rodiney commandeer the Sea-Doos for a grocery run. That leaves Derek, T.J., Austin and Ryan stranded ashore and talking smack about Rodiney.
So what else is new.

I discovered one thing while watching ABC's Skating with the Stars last night. The sound I kept hearing was not metal scraping ice, it was reality TV scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Actually, that may be a bit unfair. Skating is really no worse than the show that preceded it, but this whole " ______ with the Stars" genre needs to be nipped in the bud.
At the very least, they need to look outside these boring challenges, and offer up something unexpected. For instance, Red Light/Green Light with the Stars, or Chainsaw Juggling with the Stars.
As for Skating, it was pretty much what it was expected to be, a low-rent copy of Dancing with the Stars, with one notable exception.
The fabulous judge Johnny Weir.
Johnny was one of three judges tasked with doling out seemingly random scores to six minor celebrities and their professional skating partners. He...

Logo (our parent company) usually sends me screeners of The A-List: New York, but this week I guess things were running late because no screener for episode 107 – which means I haven't actually seen the ep. Bummer.
Or is it? Someone could probably make up a plotline for this week's installment that would be more logically coherent than anything that actually aired.
So pardon the liberties, but here's my totally fictional take. And if you really have to know what happened on the actual show may I suggest John Polly's trenchant Easy A-List Video Recap over on NewNowNext.com.
When last we saw the A-Listers, a heartbroken Rodiney had packed his bags and left for Miami.
Reichen, despondent over the end of yet another relationship, cries dramatically: "I want to be alone," and takes to his boudoir with nothing for company but his Blackberry. To catch up on his sexting.

To be watching A-List... or not to be watching A-List. That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the the slimebuckets and a-holes of outrageous casting, or to take arms against a sea of negative stereotypes, and by opposing... change the damn channel.
But try as I might I just can't! I am unable to look away from this gay horror of a show. If you're here reading this I'm guessing you can't either, so welcome back.
This week's episode kicks off with another one of Reichen's high-powered business meetings. As you'll recall, Reichen lends his name to a jewelry collection called "Fly Naked." Which is one way to really speed through airport security.
His collection is sold on loveandpride.com, and 10% of all proceeds are donated to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (Sldn). So, good on him for that.

This week on A-List: New York gay viewers finally found somebody to root for and identify with. Funny thing is, she's pretty much the only straight person on the show. Her name is "Gina" (rhymes with "China" according to Derek), and we met her briefly last episode when she did her best Laura Petrie impersonation as Derek's paid lady-in-waiting.
We get to see way more of her trials and tribulations as Derek's assistant this episode, and her scenes were by far the highlight of the show.
Before we get to that breath of fresh air we have to plow through some other stuff, starting with Austin's humiliating meeting with the photographer and "celebrity stylist" responsible for last week's "Glamour Shots Gone Wrong" photo shoot. Austin just wants his photos, but the stylist wants to pontificate, point out Austin's body problem areas, and even suggest he should just give up modeling altogether.

This week on A-List: New York, Rodiney and Reichen seek couples counseling, and Derek hosts a Pride party. Only the beautiful people are invited! Meanwhile, Austin stays true to form and shows his ass, thereby losing mentor Ryan and prompting T.J. to throw a total hissy fit.
Over on the completely separate Mike Ruiz Highbrow Gay Guy Show we meet proud Papa Ruiz and help a noble hat enthusiast who is struggling with incurable cancer.
The episode opens with Austin and Jake on Fire Island. This is supposedly their second excursion to the beach community, two weeks into Jake's visit, and after the events of last week. (The night out at Carnival, Austin's gym room meeting with Reichen, etc.)
However, in my unofficial capacity as Reality Show Continuity Detective, I note that Jake and Austin are wearing the exact same clothes they wore in last week's Fire Island scenes.

I've figured out the best way to watch The A-List: New York: Drunk and with the sound off. That's certainly true for this episode, which suffers from largely incoherent storylines and a cast that likes to say "like" like three times in every sentence. And once you, like, take notice of that it, like, becomes really hard to, like, ignore it.
But it sure is a pretty cast, and if you tune out whatever ludicrous and borderline offensive thing they happen to be talking about, then you're free to simply enjoy the eye candy.
Next week I think I'm going to watch The A-List with the sound off... while listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall. That should be trippy.
But as for this week... the show opens on Austin taking a stretch limo and a bottle of Andre's Cold Duck to Kennedy Airport to pick up... his heretofore unheard of Scottish boyfriend Jake!

Greetings A-List fans. Also, a big howdy do to all you lookie-loos who can't seem to avert your eyes from this trainwreck of a show.
In this week's installment, Ryan celebrates his 30th birthday with botox injections and shirtless bartenders. Meanwhile, Austin tries to crash the Hamptons and cracks jokes about Reichen's manhood, thereby giving queen bee wannabe Derek the goods to rat him out.
Meanwhile, Rodiney strikes some dirty poses for Mike Ruiz, who seems like he's making a brief crossover guest appearance from some other, better show.
And Reichen cries to Mommy Lehmkuhl about the burdens of being ... Reichen.
Hard Help is Good to Find
Things kick off with Ryan planning for his 30th birthday celebration. He wants to make it a fundraiser for the Ali Forney Center, an organization that assists homeless Glbt youth. Ryan also wants shirtless bartenders and maybe a drag number. "You know, something really classy.

Last night, gay-focused cable channel Logo premiered its somewhat-anticipated reality series, The A-List: New York, a Real Housewives-esque look at the lives of five apparently important gay men in New York City. (It’s worth noting up front that A-List is produced by True Entertainment, the minds behind The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which celebrated its third-season premiere last night, too.) As you might expect, much of this first hour was spent introducing us to the men who make up the cast. Each got a little vignette where we learned who (and how bitchy) they are, what they do, who they’re dating,...

Words to live by from A-List: New York's opening credits:
"The A-List is a crowded room. If you don't have a pot to piss in you probably shouldn't be there."
Well guys, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but consider this recap your very own piss pot.
It's your entree into gay A-List society, where you get to hobnob vicariously with the richly ironic and the famously shallow. But take heart! There's a lot to laugh at, and a few guys on this show you're really going to like.
If you're truly one of the haters and can't appreciate bad reality television (Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, etc.) at all, then the A-List and this recap probably aren't for you.
But I happen to like trainwreck reality TV, and on that front A-List: New York delivers!
"Sorry sir, didn't notice your piss pot there. Right this way."

In order to get you ready for the premiere, let us present you with the show’s top ten “guilty pleasure” moments, the ones that will make you embarrassed to admit how much you love The A-List…until you realize that everyone else secretly does too. 1. More chiseled abs than your eyeballs can handle: Best known as Lance Bass‘ ex and a former Amazing Race competitor, Reichen Lumkuhl cannot seem to keep his shirt on. And we ain’t complaining! Especially considering Reichen has what is commonly known in the medical community as a “24-pack.” When examining a photo he took for a fashion shoot, Reichen murmurs, “Your eyes go right to the nipples.
