Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s fourteenth episode, season 3 winner, former “Pit Stop” host, and All Stars 7 consolation winner Raja stops by to “cut up” just before the “Grand Finale” in two weeks.

In their recap of episode 14, Raja and Bianca agree that Anetra is a threat to Sasha Colby‘s chance at winning. Raja goes as far to say that Anetra is Sasha’s “only threat.” Despite seeing them as the only ones with a chance to win, Raja says that they are a great final four because they’re “very all powerful in their own way” because of their abilities and stories.

Following Friday’s thirteenth episode, Naomi Smalls returns to the recap show as a two-time makeover challenge winner herself. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 13, both Naomi and Bianca say that they expected one of the twins to make the top five instead of the five that actually made it to this episode. Naomi said that Sugar is great at comedic timing, but Spice is more polished in her looks and so either could have been the one to make it this far. Like other queens before her, Naomi also took offense to queens like Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca being so pressed about their placements, especially Loosey trying to count mini challenge wins in her record.

Following Friday’s twelfth episode, Laganja Estranja and Bianca start a rumor about a never-aired lip sync between the two of them on season 6, among other things.

In their recap of episode 12, Laganja names Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Luxx Noir London as her two faves of the season, though she likes all of the top six. Bianca liked that for once her guest didn’t name Sasha Colby as her favorite, though admittedly they both are rooting for her. One thing Laganja and Bianca are tired of hearing from the girls is their “in my __ era” tag line that they say has been run in to the ground by this point. On that topic,...

The Challenge rookie Jakk Maddox pointed out an offensive comment about him on the show’s official Twitter account. He claims he asked MTV to make a statement about it but said the network refused.
Jakk Maddox says MTV didn’t protect him from hate speech
Shortly before the final part of The Challenge: Ride or Dies reunion aired, the official Twitter account for the show tweeted pictures of several castmates, including rookie Jakk Maddox, to remind followers of it starting in the next hour.
Someone responded to the tweet, presumably about the Ex on the Beach: Peak of Love star, “nothing against gay people, but dude is doing way too much. I can see that guy being a pedo for sure.” The tweet caught Jakk’s attention, and he made an Instagram reel about it.

Jackson, Abdul, and Cowell all walked away from American Idol eventually, but the show lived on with different judges. Here’s why the original trio left.

In their recap of episode 8, Brooke Lynn tells Bianca that it’s refreshing to see a crop of queens this season that “aren’t afraid to say shit.” In that spirit, Brooke Lynn doesn’t shy away from doing it herself when she openly recommends to Loosey Laduca that she “chills out and takes a breath.” What she doesn’t like is that its’ so clear how badly she wants to win and thinks she just needs to relax a little bit.

Willow Pill made history this year when she won season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, becoming the first disabled or chronically ill person (she’s diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder cystinosis) to take home the crown, as well as the first trans non-All Stars winner, having come out during her run on the show.
Fans were immediately captivated by the queen’s quirky sense of humor and outside-the-box runway looks, but it’s been her openness and vulnerability that carried her to the finish line (and the top prize of 150,000) on a season packed with formidable competition.

Get ready for the return of your favorite drag queens because later this month RuPaul's Drag Race is giving us another All Stars season. Can you believe we are already getting more eleganza when it feels like season 8 just ended?
In case you haven't seen the cast, here's our returning queens:
Adore Delano (Season 6) Alaska (Season 5) Alyssa Edwards (Season 5) Coco Montrese (Season 5) Detox (Season 5) Ginger Minj (Season 7) Katya Zamolodchikova (Season 7) Phi Phi O'Hara (Season 4) Roxxxy Andrews (Season 5) Tatianna (Season 2)
That is an overload of season five realness, but if it means the return of Rolaskatox, we are perfectly okay with that. Tatianna is the only returning early season competitor and maybe the season's underdog - don't forget she was the original Snatch Game winner with her Britney Spears ("I got lost!"). Overall this cast is heavy with strong performers ready to bring the drama. This round is forgoing the first...

Tatianna is the only returning early season competitor and maybe the season's underdog - don't forget she was the original Snatch Game winner with her Britney Spears ("I got lost!"). Overall this cast is heavy with strong performers ready to bring the drama. This round is forgoing the first...

Get ready for a dynamic new second season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” with a drama-filled trailer just released by Logo. This time around, the stakes are even higher as the contestant find out about a shocking new twist that will radically change the group dynamic and their strategies to win.
This season, RuPaul is changing the rules and will not be eliminating any of the queens. Instead, the contestants will be eliminating one another. Each week the top two queens will “lip-sync for their legacy” with the winner having the power to send one of her competitors home.
“Honey, nobody can claim that this race is rigged,” said host RuPaul in a statement. “I gave the power to the people. May the best All Star win!”

Back in 2009, you'd be hard-pressed to find an average American who knew the definition of a death drop or how to read a queen for filth. That all changed with RuPaul's Drag Race, the must-see competition series returning this summer with its second All Stars season on Logo. And it promises to be bitchier and funnier than ever.

The barkeeps and patrons of Matt’s Saloon in Prescott, Ariz. probably thought it was just another normal Friday night, but Sept. 29, 1989 — 26 years ago today — was not another normal night. What made it a rather unusual evening for the sleepy town was the presence of a rock star in Matt’s Saloon: Bruce Springsteen was playing an unannounced performance at the bar. He rolled into town on a motorcycle with some buddies and wound up in a jam session with the house band. Springsteen, wearing a leather vest and a bandana around his neck, played “I’m On Fire” from his 1984 album “Born In The U.S.A.,” but when the band asked him to play “Pink Cadillac,” the rock star said he couldn’t remember the words to his hit song, recalled Denny Orr, the rhythm guitarist for the house band. Orr also said that things “went nuts” in the bar...

What can you say about Miley Cyrus' closing number at the 2015 Video Music Awards? There was a ridiculous death drop (thank you Laganja Estranja). There was a kiss with reigning "RuPaul's Drag Race" champion Violet Chachki. Oh, and yes, Ms. Vivacious looked a week bit tired, but chances are unless you're a fan of the only hit show on the Logo TV network you likely had no idea who those drag queens dancing around Ms. Cyrus were. Let us enlighten you. It turns out Cyrus is such a big fan of "Drag Race" and drag in general that she sat through taping of the season 7 finale this past May. She smartly put some of the better dancers around her on the front part of the stage including the previously mentioned Estranja, Alyssa Edwards (whose audio can be heard in Cyrus' new song "Dooo It!") and Shangela (a trio who...

The tepid seventh season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" came to a close last night in decadent fashion. The three finalists, Ginger Minj, Pearl, and Violet Chachki sashayed for Ru's final blessing. Who won? Check below. We'll tell you why it's annoying. Though Ginger Minj was the favorite going into the finale thanks to her wild showmanship and electrifying impersonation of Adele, the crown went to Violet Chachki. Take a look at her season highlight reel. In seasons past, contestants won "RuPaul's Drag Race" for exhibiting a range of charismatic traits. Season six winner Bianca Del Rio was snide, ferocious, and whip-smart. Season five winner Jinkx Monsoon was kooky, kitschy, and slyly carnal. Violet Chachki, meanwhile, is certainly a glamorous and compelling stage-walker, but she's exhibited none of the comic verve that has made so many other notable contestants (Sharon Needles, Alaska, Adore Delano, Willam) such indelible characters. In fact, Violet...

Starbucks' latest commercial features two of our absolute favorite drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race! In the coffee chains' first Lgbt ad, Drag Race season six winner Bianca Del Rio and season six runner-up Adore Delano star as "coffee frenemies." The video clip starts out with Adore talking to someone on the phone about her busy work schedule. "So that's a 7 p.m. interview, an 8 p.m. cruise and a 9 p.m. show in front of five thousand fans. That's a stressful schedule, girl," Adore says. "I need a coffee!" That's when Adore spots a nearby Starbucks store. She heads inside and asks several customers waiting in line if she can cut. "Excuse me, I'm in a...

Starbucks, which can definitely count itself as one of the most gay-friendly corporations, just released its first Lgbt-centric commercial. The stars are the two undisputed queens of "RuPaul's Drag Race" season six, winner Bianca Del Rio and runner-up Adore Delano (a.k.a. Danny Noriega, who was also a semifinalist on "American Idol"). The queens need their caffeine and fight over who deserves their coffee first. It's precious. I only wish the barista would've made them lip-sync for their lives.

Happy 39th birthday to one of the funniest reality TV contestants of all time, "RuPaul's Drag Race" season six champ Bianca Del Rio. The queen has the no-nonsense attitude of Judge Judy, the stank side-eye of Marla Gibbs, and enough lightning-quick wit to zap the bourbon out of Dorothy Parker's hand. With the possible exception of Bianca's runner-up Adore Delano, it's safe to say Bianca is the funniest queen in the show's history. While season four standout Willam was extremely clever, he lacked a certain empathy with his fellow players. Season two Carol Channing idolator Pandora Boxx was a pure joy, but her kookiness was more quaint than exhilarating. And season five winner Jinkx Monsoon had the comic chops, but her talents were reserved mostly for character roles. Bianca is all of the above, and she manages to be both savage and sympathetic with everything she says. A true...

Bianco Del Rio Wins RuPaul's Drag Race
Del Rio beat out both Courtney Act and Adore Delano for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar and the $100,000 winnings. Though it was close between the final three, Del Rio had emerged as the one to beat – never having found herself in the bottom two and winning three separate challenges throughout the season.
“I feel like I am the luckiest entertainer in the world right now… it's an incredibly rewarding experience to have this honor and I'm proof that anything is possible,” Del Rio said in a statement following her win. “I extend my love and gratitude to the talented World of Wonder family, Logo TV, the amazing fans, and especially RuPaul.

She even got to crawl around the stage on a leash (because you don’t want to let Adore off her leash in front of a live audience!)
Adore has long been a fan of the Britster and even did a twisted version of “Piece of Me” at a recent drag show.)

So here we go … the final elimination before the finale. As usual, the Queens have to film a music video for a Ru song, this time around it’s “Sissy That Walk,” and they have to act in two scenes with Ru. And also, as usual, they have to sit down for Ru’s usual “Tic Tac” dinner, where they have to plead their individual cases.
So how did the Queens do? Let’s take a look.
Bianca Del Rio – Of course she’s into the final. If she doesn’t win, it’s only because Tptb want someone with more youthful marketability, perhaps a former reality show star? She was … almost flawless this time. It bears repeating. She nailed the two bits with Ru,...
