A heritage moment! When The View first began airing, RuPaul was actually one of the first guests to come on the show and end up getting into a fight with a co-host: Joy Behar! You can definitely sense the attitude shift towards drag that we have now after watching this. We’ve come a long way… granted Ru was being a little bit of a bitch!

MJ Rodriguez has become the first black transgender woman in history to win a Golden Globe! The 31-year-old actress was just named ‘Best Actress’ in a Drama Series for her role as Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista in the hit FX show ‘Pose’, which is set against the ballroom and drag culture scene of the 1980s. Reacting on Instagram, MJ wrote:
“OMG OMGGG!!!! @goldenglobes Wow! You talking about a sickening birthday present! Thank you! This is the door that is going to Open the door for many more young talented individuals. They will see that it is more than possible. (sic)”
The star – who had celebrated her 31st birthday just two days before her win – added how the “door is now open” for fellow LGBTQAI talent to “reach the stars.”
She added: “They will see that a young Black Latina girl from Newark New Jersey who had a dream, to change the minds others would WITH LOVE. LOVE WINS. To my young LGBTQAI babies WE ARE HERE the door is now open now reach the stars!!!!! @goldenglobes.”
Congrats to this wonderful artist! We knew MJ’s performance was special from the very first season, which is even wilder – because of the lack of opportunities Black trans women get to practice their craft in the first place. MJ brought it from the very start.
“3 years ago, my guy Morgan Cooper uploaded his fan trailer to YouTube, showing how he envisioned the Fresh Prince as a drama. Now, here is the first full look at his retelling of the story that’s always been so close to my heart.” – Will Smith
Like… we’re not mad at it! I love the more grounded, drama-esque approach to the ‘mythology’ of the Fresh Prince. It’s hyper-realistic and looks at class/privilege in America which is cool. Check out the brand new trailer after the jump!
The more we see of this, the more it looks kinda great.
Set in the Wild West early days of the Internet, “Pam & Tommy” is based on the incredible true story of the Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) sex tape. Stolen from the couple’s home by a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen), the video went from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown global sensation when it hit the Web in 1997. A love story, crime caper and cautionary tale rolled into one, the eight-part original limited series explores the intersection of privacy, technology and celebrity, tracing the origins of our current Reality TV Era to a stolen tape seen by millions but meant to have an audience of just two.
Check out the official trailer for ‘Pam & Tommy’ on Hulu above! We are IN. How many Pam & Tommy costumes will there be in 2022, OMG?
