NEW
YORK, NY
Following the record-breaking tenth season of VH1’s “RuPaul’s
Drag Race,” which just became the first show to ever
win an Emmy® Award in both the Outstanding Reality-Competition
Program and Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition
Program categories in the same year, VH1 has announced the queens
returning to the mainstage to compete in the fourth season of
“RuPaul’s
Drag Race All Stars.” The groundbreaking competition
is set to return with supersized, 90-minute episodes and more
stunning fashions, killer lip-syncs, and jaw-dropping twists
than ever before. “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” will also be
making Friday nights fierce again when it premieres on Friday,
December 14th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on VH1.
“The fourth season of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ is going
to blow. your. mother. tucking. mind.,” said three-time Emmy®
Award-winning host and EP RuPaul. “Satisfaction guaranteed or
your henny back.”
The ten super queens competing to prove that they’re ready to
become “Drag Race” royalty in the fourth season of “All Stars”
include:
Farrah
Moan (Season Nine)
Los Angeles, CA | Twitter: @farrahrized, Instagram: @farrahrized
Farrah moaned her way through season nine, and your favorite
Vegas showgirl is back for “All Stars” four! The cotton candy
queen may have gotten lost in her emotions in her season, but
on “All Stars,” she’s ready to highlight (wink) her talents….
She wants to prove to the world that she’s more than just a
cry baby and take her place on a pink pedestal in the “Drag
Race” Hall of Fame!
Gia Gunn (Season Six)
Los Angeles, CA | Twitter: @GiaGunn, Instagram: @gia_gunn
Gia Gunn is back, but does she have the firepower to blast her
way into the “Drag Race” Hall of Fame? Absolutely. Gia
wants to show she's more than sassy catchphrases from season
six. She’s fully seasoned and ready to snatch that “All Stars”
crown!
Jasmine Masters (Season Seven)
Los Angeles, CA | Instagram: @msjasminemasters
Her name is Jasmine Masters, and she has something to say… she’s
here, b*tches! Back for more, on “All Stars” four! Since season
seven, Jasmine has gone viral on social media making her the
ultimate “meme queen.” But Jasmine wants to prove she packs
more than a punchline and has the skills to take home the crown.
Latrice Royale (Season Four and “All Stars” One)
Hollywood, FL | Twitter: @LatriceRoyale, Instagram: @latriceroyale
She’s large and in charge, chunky yet funky... she is Latrice
Royale! Latrice competed on season four and as half of “Team
Latrila” on “All Stars” one, but she failed to make her way
to the top both times. She’s back in the werkroom to prove that
an OG queen can serve it to the younger queens and finally secure
her spot in the “Drag Race” Hall of Fame!
Manila Luzon (Season Three and “All Stars” One)
Los Angeles, CA | Twitter: @manilaluzon, Instagram: @manilaluzon
Runner-up on season three and gone-too-soon on “All Stars” one,
Manila is back again hoping the third time is the charm. She’s
got a closet full of campy couture and the comedic chops to
make Manila an “All Stars” thrilla, but will it be enough to
finally take home the “Drag Race” crown?
Monét X Change (Season Ten)
New York, NY | Twitter: @monetxchange, Instagram: @monetxchange
On her season, Monet X Change won the hearts of all and the
Miss Congeniality title. Fresh off of season 10, she’s back
with a fire lit under her padded ass to serve some polished
looks and prove she has everything it takes to soak up the “All
Stars” crown!
Monique Heart (Season Ten)
Kansas City, MO | Twitter: @IAmMoniqueHeart, Instagram: @iammoniqueheart
Monique Heart came to Season 10 with talent, glitter, and Jesus…
What she lacked was the funds for a closet full of costumes.
Since her season, she’s performed all over the world, making
that coin and amassing a stunning collection of lerks.
Monique is back for “All Stars,” reclaiming her time, and vying
for a spot in the “Drag Race” Hall of Fame!
Naomi Smalls (Season Eight)
Chicago, IL | Twitter: @naomismallsduh, Instagram: @naomismalls
On Season eight, Naomi Smalls put the LEG in “legendary” and
stomped her way into the top three. She’s back on “All Stars”
to prove she can outperform the best of ‘em and to show the
world you should never underestimate the tall, pretty fashion
model.
Trinity Taylor (Season Nine)
Orlando, FL | Twitter: @trinitythetuck, Instagram: @trinitythetuck
Trinity Taylor is back as Trinity the Tuck… and this tuck has
teeth! On Season nine the pageant queen, with body for days,
made us laugh all the way to the top four. But now, full “All
Star” confidence, she's here to claim her seat in the “Drag
Race” Hall of Fame.
Valentina (Season Nine)
Los Angeles, CA | Twitter: @allofvalentina, Instagram: @allaboutvalentina
It’s fan favorite, Valentina! She was chopped from season nine
for not knowing the words, but since her season, there’s no
masking her talent. The glamorous, high fashion, Latin American
diva is back on “All Stars” for her Telenovela redemption story….
and the “All Stars” crown.
Beginning today at 10:00 AM ET/7:00 AM PT, the reigning “RuPaul’s
Drag Race All Stars” winner, Trixie Mattel, will be joined
by former “All Stars” finalists Detox and Katya
to spill the tea on the new cast of queens in a talk show-style
live stream which will be broadcast on Facebook,
Twitter
and YouTube
platforms. Throughout the stream, Trixie will encourage fans
to comment on their favorite queen moments and sound off about
who they’re rooting for. Fans comments will be visualized in
a SLAY-O-METER graphic overlay showcasing the volume of social
conversation around each queen.
To celebrate the upcoming season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All
Stars,” Logo will be airing a week-long marathon of every episode
