Former Destiny’s Child member and current star of Broadway’s Death Becomes Her, Michelle Williams, had a bone, er… chip to pick with her audience at a recent show. Apparently, an audience member was obnoxiously snacking so loud, she looked at them directly from the stage.
Michelle did a lil ASMR to prove her point on Insta. Check it out above! Lols.
While we have yet to see any floating bodies outside of our window yet today, hopefully by tonight we’ll be left in peace on this rock (which is really already giving Hell a run for its money, so that checks out!).
A reminder to all rapture believers to get their hair and makeup done STAT, as according to y’all, the gays will not be joining you up there. This may be your last chance! In the meantime, kick back and wait for THE moment with a little 80s Blondie to strike the mood, with her 1981 hit RAPTURE, below!
Bob the Drag Queen looks back at 7 queer moments in culture that shaped who he is today—from the game-changing promos of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 4 to the ballroom legacy of ‘Paris Is Burning,’ Frances Conroy’s iconic “Balenciaga!” moment in ‘American Horror Story: Coven,’ the timeless joy of “It’s Raining Men,” Leslie Jordan’s late-in-life rise to TikTok stardom, and the groundbreaking visibility of Isis King on ‘America’s Next Top Model.’ Each memory is personal, funny, and deeply tied to how queer art and representation continue to inspire him.
At the heart of Bob’s list is ‘The Color Purple,’ which he calls the most important queer piece of mainstream media ever made. Bob says the love between Celie (Whoopi Goldberg) and Shug Avery (Margaret Avery) is ahead of its time and showed Black queer desire on screen in a way that was both groundbreaking and validating.

This week on Good One, Jinkx Monsoon joins us to talk about RuPaul’s Drag Race, Broadway, working with BenDeLaCreme on ‘The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show’, and taking over for Cole Escola in the Tony Award winning play ‘Oh, Mary!’
After watching Jinkx and Ziwe‘s interview, we are officially seated for anything where Jinkx talks!
Cole Escola shares what it was like to accept their Tony Award for Oh, Mary! while wearing a tribute gown honoring Bernadette Peters. Escola also talks about visiting Laura Keene’s grave to find inspiration for the play, and watching Betty Gilpin and Tituss Burgess step into their role in the show.
Check them out above on Seth Meyers!
Cole Escola dressed as Bernadette Peters on the Tonys Red Carpet, right before they became 1st openly non-binary artist ever to win ‘Leading Actor In A Play’ Tony Award for Oh, Mary! beating out fellow nominee George Clooney. They made sure to thank their mom, their cast, their friends, AND their Grindr hookup!
The play portrays Mary Todd Lincoln as an unhappy alcoholic who just wants to be a cabaret star—if only her husband Abe would get out of her way. Escola was (unless you knew!) an unknown before the show premiered last year Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. But the show’s success Off-Broadway and subsequent transfer, which has been selling out and extending since last July, has established them as a bona-fide star.
Check out Cole’s full speech after the jump!
