RuPaul's Drag Race Judge Michelle Visage To Host New Reality Show
It's upfront season, which means all the media companies are unleashing new shows, and quietly cancelling some of our favorites. So far, we've learned of a new Housewives franchise, a full slate of new Peacock reality shows, and Kim Kardashian's return to acting. With all of that news, you might have missed that RuPaul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage landed a new series on the E! Network. Earlier this year, NBCUniversal and Comcast announced a change in their cable portfolio with a new entity called Versant. This group owns E!, USA Network, SyFy, and Oxygen. With that change came a few reworkings of their reality lineups, such as House of Villains making the move to Peacock. Other shows have been quietly cast into the abyss, like The Anonymous. Despite all of the shuffling behind the scenes, the network is still committed to a lineup of reality TV. According to E! News, one of them is Michelle's newly announced show, Plastic Surgery Rewind. The Drag Race star is teaming up with Dr. Terry Dubrow from The Real Housewives of Orange County and a 'body image expert' named Dr. Spirit, PhD. On Plastic Surgery Rewind, the trio will work with celebrities and influencers through a 'transformative journey of self-discovery,' where they'll reflect on their previous plastic surgeries and decide if they should return to a more natural look. Of course, this is right up Michelle's alley. A few years ago, she released a documentary called Explant, showcasing her journey to remove her breast implants. Her large breasts were the butt of a million jokes on Drag Race, but Michelle opted to remove her implants bcause she believed they were making her sick. Oddly enough, the announcement of Plastic Surgery Rewind comes ten years after RuPaul had her own plastic surgery show on E! called Good Work. On that show, she also teamed up with Dr. Dubrow, but the premise was a little different. That show focused on them dishing about Hollywood's biggest plastic surgeries, whereas this one is about self-reflection and confidence. In addition to Plastic Surgery Rewind, other new shows coming to E! include a reboot of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane with Kimora Lee Simmons. Plus, the network plans to air a docuseries called E! Dirty Rotten Scandals. It will uncover the 'dirty truths' behind some of TV's biggest shows, like America's Next Top Model. The bottom line is, E!'s unique brand of reality TV isn't going anywhere. Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres this summer on E! TELL US – DO YOU PLAN ON WATCHING MICHELLE VISAGE'S NEW SHOW WITH DR. TERRY DUBROW? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE NEW SHOWS COMING TO THE E! NETWORK? The post RuPaul's Drag Race Judge Michelle Visage To Host New Reality Show appeared first on Reality Tea.

Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind Trailer Revealed; Kim Zolciak Stars
She's back! E! Just dropped the trailer for their new series, Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, and it features none other than Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, Kim Zolciak. She'll be joining a group of celebrities to take a 'transformative journey of self-discovery' at the Rewind Retreat. Even better? Her daughter, Brielle Biermann, is also on the cast. They're about to bond over whether or not they want to reverse their plastic surgeries. We first learned of this new series during the NBCUniversal upfronts. It stars Dr. Terry Dubrow, Michelle Visage, and Dr. Spirit, PhD. They're taking nine celebrities and influencers to the Rewind Retreat to help them reconsider some of the plastic surgery they have. The synopsis explains, 'Through eye-opening challenges, unexpected emotional connections and laugh-out-loud moments, the participants are asked to look within while reassessing their concept of beauty.' According to the cast announcement, Kim will be reevaluating one of her procedures, while Brielle will be considering the pros and cons of facial fillers. Brielle's time at the Rewind Retreat comes ahead of her wedding, and she supposedly wants a 'softer look' for the big day. In addition to the Don't Be Tardy alums, the cast also includes Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day. Just like Kim, she never misses an opportunity to appear on a random reality show. Similarly to Brielle, she'll be spending her time at the 'retreat' contemplating the filler in her face. Other reality stars joining the show are Jessica Dime from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima. Rounding out the cast are Alan McGarry, Kathy Brown, Sophia Elgerabli, and Sebatisan Bails. Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres Wednesday, July 9 at 10/9c on E! Episodes will be available seven days later on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TRAILER FOR PLASTIC SURGERY REWIND? ARE YOU SURPRISED TO SEE KIM JOINING THE CAST?

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial
Earlier Tuesday, June 10, Sean "Diddy" Combs suffered another loss in court when a judge denied his legal team's attempt to declare a mistrial. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian rejected arguments from Combs' defense that focused on testimony from Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan, a close friend of Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura Fine. It was Combs' team's second attempt to declare a mistrial in the sex crimes case. Later in the trial on Tuesday, Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym, revealed under cross-examination that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs revealing nightly duties included bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," she said, via USA Today. In her testimony "Jane" revealed his favorite TV show true-crime franchise Dateline, which USA Today claimed as "eerie." The series features main host Lester Holt, who previously told USA Today that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025
