New 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10' bracket rules and point system twist explained
RuPaul introduced new rules for the returning queens on All Stars 10. The contestants will be divided into three brackets that will whittle down to three stars each. A new point-based twist was introduced at the end of the episode, which could change the thought drag queens were good at math? Guess what, Mimi, they're not — but RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 changed the rules for its new bracket-style tournament anyway, and threw in a numbers-based point system twist to top it all off. Friday's premiere episode saw RuPaul sprout a mustache as he sat at the panel in boy drag to deliver news of the format's rules to returning queens Aja, Bosco, DeJa Skye, Irene the Alien, Olivia Lux, and Phoenix, all of whom comprised the first of All Stars 10 three separate six-queen groups. "In the preliminary rounds, no one will be eliminated," RuPaul told the contestants. "Instead, you'll be competing for points. At the end of this three-episode bracket, the three all-stars with the most points form this bracket will advance to the semi-finals, where you will face off against the top-three all-stars from the other brackets." In essence, only three queens from each six-queen bracket will advance to the next round, where the queens will compete until they're whittled down to a final two. "In the final lip-sync smackdown for the crown, the top all-stars will battle it out for the grand prize of $200,000. Yes, honey, that's a lot of full-coverage foundation," RuPaul continued, while season 9 and All Stars 3 alum Aja reacted with excitement: "Baby, we're going to have to fight to the death,' the New York City queen exclaimed. Ru elaborated further on the scoring system, telling the queens that points will be distributed several times per episode. The top two queens of the week will get two points each, and that pair will then lip-sync for the overall victory that comes with an additional point and a $10,000 tip. As usual, though, Ru wasn't done there. "There is more. An additional four points will be awarded each episode. But, more on that later," Ru teased to the shocked queens at the top of the premiere. Later, after a metal-themed music challenge, Aja and Irene were named the top queens of the week. Upon deeming Aja to be the top all-star, RuPaul expanded upon the point system's extra layer. "All-stars, with great power comes great responsibility. Each week, the bottom four queens will each receive one point, but here's the twist: You can't keep the point for yourself," Ru told the girls. "You must give it away to the all-star you believe is the MVQ: the Most Valuable Queen of the week. I'll leave it up to each of you to decide which all-star deserves your MVQ point." Ru then reiterated that at the end of the first three episodes, three queens among the group would be eliminated before the second bracket entered the Werk Room to compete on episodes 4-6. In an exclusive group interview with Entertainment Weekly (above), the cast reacted to the format change with a range of emotions, with some using it as a chance to playfully jab their sisters, and others seeing the changes as an opportunity to develop new strategies that haven't been seen on the show in the past. "For a lot of girls, this was the first time they ever felt like they were [in the] top six, and it showed, and I loved it,' Aja joked, while season 14 finalist Bosco said she feels the AS10 competition is a "more fair experience going into All Stars" that equalizes the competitors, after some queens are on their third (Aja, Jorgeous, Cynthia Lee Fontaine) and even fourth (Ginger Minj) seasons.'I think being in a smaller group, there's more chance to focus on everything.... you're able to keep your eye on the girls a little bit more," season 13's Tina Burner added. "I can watch every one of them and all the shady s--- they're trying to do, and know who to not talk to and who to keep at a tender distance.'

7 times lesbian and sapphic 'Drag Race' guest judges stole the show
Drag Race All Stars 10 is about to premier and the celebrity guest judge list is full of queer women we can't wait to see them critique the queens! Chappell Roan, Ice Spice, and Cynthia Erivo are all stepping up to the judges panel, but Drag Race has hosted lesbian and sapphic guests since the inception of the show and they've always been iconic. There have been hilarious moments, biting critiques, and undercover werkroom capers that have kept us glued to our screens every season. But what were the best moments of the last 17 seasons? s_bukley/Shutterstock Jenny Shimizu Model and former Angelina Jolie paramour Jenny Shimizu set the standard on season 1 when she told BeBe Zahara Benet that she 'would completely be doing coke with you if this was the '90s.' DFree/Shutterstock Lily Tomlin Lesbian comedian Lily Tomlin joined her Grace and Frankie co-star Jane Fonda on All Stars 3, where the two funny ladies judged the queens who dressed up as some of their most iconic characters. The level of camp was high as the girls dressed up as characters from 9 to 5 and Fonda's '80s leotard-clad workout videos. - YouTube When bisexual rapper Doechii was a guest judge on season 17, Lexi Love and Crystal Envy lip-synced to her song 'Alter Ego,' which led to the song surging in the charts. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock Cassandra Peterson Cassandra Peterson (AKA Elvira), may not have come out until 2021 when she announced she has been in a 19-year-long relationship with a woman, but she has been a repeat guest on Drag Race for years. In 2019, she joined the judge's panel for the season 11 'Monster Ball' episode where the queens created looks for a Halloween-themed ball and Peterson judged them while dressed in her signature Elvira wig, and plunging black dress. - YouTube Pop star Miley Cyrus was an iconic guest on Drag Race season 11 where she not only critiqued the queens from the judge's table, but she went undercover in the werkroom with short hair and faux facial hair pretending to be a production before Silk Nutmeg Ganache realized who it was. Kathy Hutchins/Shutterstock Fortune Feimster In season 11, comedian Fortune Feimster and fellow guest judge Cheyenne Jackson helped the queens with an improv comedy challenge on the streets of LA, and the results were messy and hilarious, in large part because of Feimster's ability to 'yes, and…' If you haven't seen Silk Nutmeg Ganache running a back-alley butt pad business out of the trunk of her car you need to check it out ASAP! Este es el mejor dia de mi vida #aubreyplaza #dragrace #rupaulsdragrace Agatha All Along star Aubrey Plaza joined RuPaul on the judge's panel for the season 2 episode 'Family that Drags Together,' where the queens had to give members of their drag family makeovers. Plaza used her signature brand of dark humor and flat delivery to have us laughing during her critiques. But it was her line, 'This is the greatest day of my life. I'm killing myself tomorrow,' that people really remember.

Elon Musk deadnames his 'killed' child — his trans daughter claps back
Transphobia is alive and well in America — and so is Vivian Wilson, the 20-year-old trans daughter of Elon Musk who clapped back at her billionaire father after he deadnamed her and declared she had been "killed." Sign up for the to keep up with what's new in LGBTQ+ culture and entertainment — delivered three times a week straight (well…) to your inbox! Musk — the CEO of Tesla, founder of SpaceX, and recent owner of X/Twitter — has expanded his horizons by joining President Donald Trump's 2025 administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). On Saturday, March 22, X user @spacesudoer wrote, "Don't people realize that we hate Hitler not for doing a quirky salute, but for killing millions of people? Has Elon killed even a single person? No. And just because his son says something, that doesn't necessarily make it true." Musk wrote the following in response: "Exactly. My son, Xavier, died. He was killed by the woke mind virus. Now, the woke mind virus will die." On Sunday, March 23, Vivian Wilson shared an Instagram video to clap back at her father deadnaming her and falsely claiming that she has died. The video begins with a screenshot of Musk's X post seen above, and then shows a video of Vivian Wilson — very much alive — clapping back at her father's false claims. "I look pretty good for a dead bitch," she says, referencing the iconic Morgan McMichaels werk room entrance line from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3. Vivian's video can be watched below. If you're not familiar with the reference, Morgan McMichaels is a drag queen who first competed on RuPaul's Drag Race season 2 and subsequently came back for All Stars 3. Between Morgan's first and second run on Drag Race, the polarizing winner of Drag Race season 2 shared social media posts falsely alleging that Morgan had died — going as far as creating "artwork" about Morgan's death, pretending to be mourning, and including a link to promote their SoundCloud page. from RPDRDRAMA These false accusations prompted Morgan to do a live-stream to clarify that she was very much alive and drag the season 2 winner for flat-out. During this chaotic live-stream from 2017, Morgan explained that many of her loved ones actually believed that X post containing false information about her death — referencing people who were literally crying and freaking out over the idea that Morgan had actually passed away. On March 29, 2017 — literally one day after the death hoax started by the crowned winner of season 2 — Morgan delivered one of the most iconic and unforgettable live drag performances of all time: a number (dubbed "ALIVE") in which Morgan attended her own funeral. Instead of using a fake dead body and/or a coffin for the performance, Morgan turned the season 2 winner's social media post into the object of her mourning and sadness — all while lip syncing to a legendary medley (dubbed "ALIVE") of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence, "I'm Alive" by Céline Dion, and "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. - YouTube So, when Morgan returned for All Stars 3, she made one last reference to this saga with the werk room entrance line, "I look pretty good for a dead bitch." This story is still developing…
