It was another explosive week for the queens on Drag Race Untucked

It definitely wasn’t RuPaul’s Best Friend Race on this week’s episode of Untucked. This week, the 10 remaining contestants showcased their wit (or lack of) for the show’s staple challenge: Snatch Game. Some were iconic, and some were… remember Kenya Michaels’ chaotic and downright bizarre impersonation of Beyoncé? Yeah. Like that. Don’t get it twisted, Kenya’s B was iconic. But it was one of the most unsettling pieces of art (?) we’ve ever witnessed. After playing the Snatch Game and sashaying down the Frozen-inspired runway, Gigi Goode, Jackie Cox and…

Teddy Jackson has released the video for his debut single, Pretty Runaways. The R&B and pop anthem, which was self-produced by the New Zealand-born artist, recalls when he “sparked chemistry with a guy that was basically a total stranger” and embarked on an impulsive road trip to California with him. Teddy told us: “I had a lot of stuff to figure out in regards to who I am and what kind of artist I wanted to be. The memory is so beautiful to me and sort of captures a big growth…

Netflix’s latest documentary has proven to be the perfect self-isolation viewing. The insane new series, titled Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, chronicles the life of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, and his disturbing feuds with fellow “big cat” conservationists such as Big Cat Rescue owner Carole Baskin. The show is… wild. There’s a murder plot, a Nxivm-esque sex cult, political campaigns, a hell of a lot of country music and an emphasis on animal rights. Exotic also leaves the fashion world shaking with his various groundbreaking ensembles. Due to…

NEO 10Y has released a stunning music video for his new single. ILY, which follows in the footsteps of the British singer-songwriter’s self-love anthem Stan Yourself, is an intense, midtempo anthem that was written to “amplify love, energy and curiosity at a time we need to be asking questions.” Produced by Teddy Jackson, the track was written by NEO 10Y – birth name Nik Thakkar – last year, and is a nod to his Desi ancestry due to Tommy Khosla’s use of a sitar; an instrument often used in Hindustani…

Nicky Doll makes bold statement about RuPaul’s Drag Race season 12

“It felt like it was an All Stars season. It didn’t feel like a regular season.” Although she left us slain week after week with her high-fashion runways, kooky personality and charismatic confessionals, Nicky Doll sadly became the third contestant to sashay away from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 12 last week. The French fashionista lost her place in the competition after failing to impress RuPaul and the judges – including special guest star Normani – with her role in the longest-running drag queen medical drama in HERstory: Gay’s Anatomy. Despite…
