New year, new queens! Of course, this week’s top story is the announcement and introduction of the 14 queens competing to become America’s Next Drag Superstar on the sweet season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Going head-to head this season are: Amanda Tori Meating, Dawn, Geneva Karr, Hershii LiqCour-Jeté, Megami, Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige, Mirage, Morphine Love Dion, Nymphia Wind, Plane Jane, Plasma, Q, Sapphira Cristál and Xunami Muse.

In the two-part premiere, airing on January 5 at 8pm ET on MTV, the queens compete in the fan-favorite talent show and in a new twist, called “Rate-A-Queen”, the contestants must rank their fellow queens’ performances to determine the tops and bottoms of the week. Watch as Sasha Colby introduces the newest members of the Drag Race family.

On Monday, I had the pleasure of seeing The Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Show (and if it’s coming to a city near you, do yourself a favor and go!) Here they talk about the shows origins and what kind of holiday cheer fans can expect in this interview.

Jaymes Mansfield restyles a fan-submitted fluorescent green wig and, as always, makes magic with an elaborate, sparling masterpiece. If you can’t get enough of pop culture chat from Jaymes, make sure to follow her new YouTube channel, It’s Just Jaymes Okay.

Trixie Mattel looks at the top toys of this Christmas season…and some of them are doozies. I know I am an adult (or at least my driver’s license says so) but I crave those Barbie move dolls.

Bob and Monét have resumed their discussion of every US Ru girl (and a sidebar chat about Drake) on the latest “Sibling Rivalry”. Starting with Trixie Mattel, the pair discuss queens including Katya, Kennedy Davenport, Violet Chachki and Dax Exclamation Point.

And, on the latest “Sibling Advicery”, Bob and Monét share their Spotify Wrapped playlists and offer advice to a son dealing with his family during the holidays, a woman navigating her queer journey and settling the debate on who has control of the aux cable in the car.

Bob is back with more “Crowd Werk” this week, this time discussing what you should do before you turn 25.

Willam takes us behind the scenes at the Remember the Ribbon benefit in New York City.

Trust me, it’s not a mistake to check out the latest episode of “UNHhhh.” This time around, Trixie and Katya discuss their “happy accidents.” What famous singer did Trixie turn down for a collab? What word did Katya misspell in third grade that she can’t forget? Discover the answers to these questions and more (and get lots of laughs in the process.)

More laughs from Trixie and Kayta ahead…they tackle the delicate subject of keeping your booty clean in the latest episode of their podcast The Bald and the Beautiful.”

It’s a new round of “Glam Slam”, pitting Yuhua Hamasaki against Olivia Lux in a fashion face-off. Who serves the best concrete jungle realness? Who will win over hosts Rob Anderson and Monét X Change and a judging panel of queens? Watch and find out.
