Lots of RuPaul’s Drag Race News
By Jesse Barron on Wednesday, 13th January 2010
In anticipation of the season 2 premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race at 9 PM ET on Monday, February 1st on Logo, we have a lot of news about the show. Also, don’t forget that we will be the only gay blog that is live blogging the premiere!
Logo announced yesterday that it greenlit a spin-off for the hugely popular RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The new show, RuPaul’s Drag U, will be a show where everyday women compete in a series of challenges in hopes of unleashing their inner diva. The show will be hosted by the hilarious and helpful RuPaul and a team of trusty drag queen instructors.
The show is produced by World of Wonder, the same folks behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Home [editor: Tori and Dean's appearance on season 1 of Drag Race now makes more sense], Fantasia for Real (premiering on VH1 in January] and Million Dollar Listing.
In other RuPaul’s Drag Race news, Logo just released a behind the scenes clip where the contestants are not allowed to leave their hotel rooms until the first day of filming:
They also released a sneak peek clip of the second episode, where the contestants compete for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar. In the second episode, RuPaul and the drag queens are joined by special guests Kathy Griffin and photographer Mike Ruiz.
RuPaul’s Drag Race has a ton of great special guests slated for the second season:
- Kathy Griffin and Mike Ruiz (episode 1 – “Gone with the Window”)
- Kim Coles and Dita Von Teese (episode 2 – “Starrbootylicious”)
- Kathy Najimy and Tanya Tucker (episode 3 – “Country Queens”)
