    AceShowbiz –
    Following a fierce competition, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” named its season 13 on season finale on Friday, April 23. In the all-virtual finale, the Top 4, Gottmik, Kandy Muse, Rose and Symone, went against one another in all-out smackdown before one of them was given the title of season 13 Queen.

    Kicking off the night was RuPaul herself as she performed “New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold”. Later, the Top 4 hit the stage for a final runway as well as a drag ball. Each of the finalists also flaunted their best fashion in the three categories namely “Black and White”, “Red All Over” and “Grand Finale Eleganza Extravaganza”.

    During the finale, the contestants also paid a heartfelt tribute to Chi Chi DeVayne, who passed away in August.

    Later in the Britney Spears-themed finale, Rose and Kandy Muse faced off in a performance of “Work B***h”. While they both tried their best to win the judges’ hearts, one of them had to be eliminated. Unfortunately, Ru decided that Rose had to be sent home.

    The next lip sync performance was between Symone and Gottmik. The pair offered a fierce battle as they performed to the tune of Britney’s “Till the World Ends”.

    After a long deliberation, Ru announced that Symone was the winner of season 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. Looking stunning in a sparkling yellow fringe dress with streamers emerging from the top of her massive updo, Symone accepted the crown and scepter from season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall. “I told y’all not to let the smooth taste fool you!” she exclaimed.

      Jeff Goldblum Called Islamophobe Over 'Ignorant' Comments on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'

      by

      VH1

      The ‘Jurassic Park’ actor is accused of being islamophobic over his comments when he saw one of the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ contestants donned a star-spangled hijab.
      Apr 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Jeff Goldblum has been scolded by fans online over his controversial appearance as a guest judge on Friday’s April 24, 2020 instalment of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”.
      During the episode, drag queen Jackie Cox, real name Darius Rose, wore a star-spangled hijab in honour of her Muslim background, as part of the show’s Stars And Stripes runway challenge.
      Commenting on the look, Jeff, 67, came under fire by first asking if the performer was “religious” before going on to question the treatment of LGBTQ+ people within the faith.

      “Is there something in this religion that is anti-homosexuality and anti-woman? Does that complicate the issue? I’m just raising it and thinking out loud and maybe being stupid,” he commented.
      While RuPaul insisted that “drag has always shaken the tree,” Jackie became teary-eyed as she said it was “a complex issue” and she had her “own misgivings about the way LGBTQ+ people are treated in the Middle East.”
      “I had to show America that you can be LGBT and from the Middle East and there’s going to be complicated s**t around that and that’s okay. But I’m here and I deserve to be in America just as much as anyone else,” Jackie said.
      Criticising the “Jurassic Park” star for his theories, fans took to Twitter to make their feelings known, with one viewer writing, “That Jeff Goldblum to Jackie Cox moment on this week’s Drag Race was so deeply uncomfortable to watch.”
      “Why did he think that was appropriate? How did it make it to the edit? How was that in any way fair on Jackie? Just so many levels of awfulness.”
      Another commented, “Now would Jeff Goldblum have asked a Christian queen that same question that he asked Jackie? That was really ignorant,” while a third user hit out, adding, “I am REALLY not here for Jeff Goldblum’s casually islamophobic critique of Jackie Cox tonight.”
      The star has yet to comment on the controversy.

      'RuPaul's Drag Race' Disqualifies Sherry Pie Over Catfishing Claims

      by

      VH1

      This decision arrives after aspiring actor Ben Shimkus accused Sherry, whose birthname is Joey Gugliemelli, of catfishing him in a lengthy Facebook post detailing his alleged experience with the drag performer.
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sherry Pie will no longer be starring in upcoming season 12 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. The show has decided to disqualify her following multiple catfishing allegations that are leveled againts the 28-year-old, whose birthname is Joey Gugliemelli.
      “In light of recent developments and Sherry Pie’s statement, Sherry Pie has been disqualified from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’,” VH1 and production company World of Wonder said in a statement on Friday, March 6. “Out of respect for the hard work of the other queens, VH1 will air the season as planned. Sherry will not appear in the grand finale scheduled to be filmed later this spring.”
      This decision arrives after aspiring actor Ben Shimkus accused Gugliemelli of catfishing him, detailing his alleged experience in a lengthy Facebook post. He alleged that he met Gugliemelli when they studied musical theatre at State University of New York College at Cortland. According to Shimkus, they maintained their frienship even outside the school.
      He shared that later he was in contact with a casting director named “Allison Mossey” after a friend tipped him about an available role at Playwrights Horizons in New York City. “Allison and I went through an email thread that lasted over 150 emails in about three weeks. We covered topics of pay, living situations in the city, when I would have to leave school for rehearsals, and conversations about acting choices for the character. I had to film scenes that felt particularly sexual and awkward, but the opportunity seemed too good to let the overt sexual nature or my inhibitions get in the way,” he recalled, before adding that he grew suspicious after Mossey ignored his contact requests over a prolonged period of time.
      He was shocked when Playwrights Horizons told him later that the company had never heard of her. Shimkus later reached out to the friend who tipped him, saying, “I also asked where he had gotten the contact from. It was from Sherry Pie, who was adamant about her friendship with Allison.”
      “One of my best friends told me that a colleague who had worked at a theatre doing Hairspray with Sherry also had the same experience with Allison Mossey. Another friend said the same thing had happened to someone she knew. Her friend was also in close contact with Sherry. Wherever Sherry seemed to go, Allison would follow. Since being open about my experience, six people have corroborated stories with me,” he added.

      Also experiencing the same thing were four other men, including other SUNY Cortland students and members of a Nebraska theater company. They claimed that Gugliemelli posed as a casting director who later coaxed them into submitting fake audition tapes while performing questionable thing including masturbating.
      Sherry Pie then responded to the allegations, writing an apology on Thursday. “This is Joey, I want to start by saying how sorry I am that I caused such trauma and pain and how horribly embarrassed and disgusted I am with myself. I know that the pain and hurt that I have caused will never go away and I know that what I did was wrong and truly cruel,” she said on Facebook.

      “Until being on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’, I never really understood how much my mental health and taking care of things meant. I learned on that show how important ‘loving yourself’ is and I don’t think I have ever loved myself. I have been seeking help and receiving treatment since coming back to NYC. I truly apologize to everyone I have hurt with my actions. I also want to say how sorry I am to my sisters of season 12 and honestly the whole network and production company. All I can do is change the behavior and that starts with me and doing that work,” she added.
