Ariana Grande, Ice Spice & Cynthia Erivo announced as guest judges for 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10'
Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars is upping the ante with a star-packed roster of celebrity guest judges, and the latest reveal confirms it: the judging panel is going to be stacked.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the powerhouse duo starring in the upcoming Wicked film, are set to bring their signature sparkle to the show.
Joining them is rap superstar Ice Spice, alongside a glittering lineup including Chappell Roan, Colman Domingo, Kate Beckinsale, Susanne Bartsch, Adam Shankman, Jamal Sims, Mayan Lopez, Devery Jacobs, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
These stars will appear alongside the show's iconic judging crew: RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley, and Law Roach.
In the trailer, Chappell Roan makes a memorable entrance into the Werk Room, wearing a robe and wig cap, teasing the queens with: 'Do you have something sexy I can slip into?'
Meanwhile, Erivo and Grande make their grand entrance as well — appearing in both the Werk Room and at the judges' table. Erivo remarks, 'It's good to see us now, isn't it?' while Grande turns to the queens and quips, 'No need to respond, that was rhetorical.'
As previously announced, the new season will showcase 18 returning queens, all vying for a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame and a $200,000 grand prize.
The fierce returning queens include:
Acid Betty, Aja, Alyssa Hunter, Bosco, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, DeJa Skye, Denali, Ginger Minj, Irene the Alien, Jorgeous, Kerri Colby, Lydia B Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Nicole Paige Brooks, Olivia Lux, Phoenix, and Tina Burner.
These queens will be split into three teams of six — Team Purple, Team Orange, and Team Pink — competing in what the show calls the 'Tournament of All Stars.'
Each team will battle it out across three episodes, with the top three point-earners from each bracket advancing to the semi-finals.
The final nine queens will then clash in two more episodes, culminating in a legendary 'Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown.'
Only one queen will walk away with the title and be enshrined in the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 10 premieres May 9 at 9 p.m. PT / 12 a.m. ET exclusively on Paramount+.
Fans can also catch the companion series, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Untucked, debuting the same night. The show offers a backstage look at the queens as they nervously await judgment.

Fourth installment of 'Meet the Parents' to star Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has been confirmed to star opposite Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro in Universal Pictures' upcoming film, Meet the Parents 4. This announcement marks Grande's next major acting role following her Academy Award-nominated performance as Glinda in Wicked. The Meet the Parents franchise, which includes the original 2000 film and its sequels Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers, has been a commercial success, grossing over $1.13 billion worldwide. While plot details for the fourth installment remain undisclosed, producer Jane Rosenthal told Variety that the story will reflect the characters' aging, noting that Stiller's character is now the same age De Niro's was in the first film, with their children grown up and returning home to meet the parents. John Hamburg, who co-wrote the previous three films, has penned the screenplay and is set to direct the new installment. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on November 25, 2026. Production is overseen by a team including Rosenthal and De Niro through Tribeca Productions, Jay Roach through Delirious Media, and Ben Stiller and John Lesher via Red Hour Films, with Hamburg producing through Particular Pictures. Universal's Executive Vice President of production development, Matt Reilly, and Director of production development, Jacqueline Garell, are supervising the project. Grande's casting is seen as a significant addition to the franchise, especially given her ongoing relationship with Universal. She will next appear in Wicked: For Good, the highly anticipated sequel to the Broadway adaptation Wicked, scheduled for release on November 21, 2025. As a music artist, Grande boasts nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits and two Grammy Awards from 15 nominations. As an actor, she has earned critical acclaim with nominations from the Oscars, Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA.

New MCU X-Men casting rumours suggest Daniel Day-Lewis, Bryan Cranston, Cynthia Erivo, and Henry Cavill may be considered for leading roles in Marvel's next phase of mutant storytelling. These updates follow Avengers: Secret Wars and hint at a return to more traditional character portrayals. Daniel Day-Lewis has been linked to the role of Magneto. Despite retiring from acting, some insiders claim Marvel is pursuing him, though the prospect of the 68-year-old actor committing to a long-term franchise remains doubtful. Denzel Washington has also been rumoured, especially with his confirmed role in Black Panther 3. Bryan Cranston is said to be a contender for Professor Charles Xavier. While his performance as Walter White made him a household name, fans have mixed reactions to his potential casting as Xavier. He has previously expressed interest in playing the villain Mr Sinister. Coleman Domingo is another name reportedly on Marvel's radar. For Storm, Cynthia Erivo has emerged as a leading rumoured pick. The Wicked star has voiced interest in the role. Additional names floated include Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Jodie Turner-Smith. Rumours around Cyclops feature Patrick Schwarzenegger and Harris Dickinson. While Dickinson may be unavailable due to filming commitments, Schwarzenegger's name continues to circulate based on recent speculation. Henry Cavill has been linked to Wolverine following Deadpool & Wolverine, though Marvel is also reportedly interested in keeping Hugh Jackman active in the role. Legacy X-Men actors including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and James Marsden will return for Avengers: Doomsday. Jake Schreier is rumoured to direct the X-Men reboot, with Michael Lesslie writing the script.
