We’ve Ranked the Best Outfits From RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, From A’Whora’s Bin Bag to Bimini’s Amoeba
Since the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK burst onto our screens back in January 2021, it’s become one of the main highlights of our weeks. Whether it’s the heartfelt stories exchanged in the dressing room, the catty remarks following RuPaul’s critiques, or the dazzling celebrity judges, each week on Drag Race UK has proven itself to be something truly special. However, what’s undoubtedly most impressive is of course the outfits. Each episode sees the queens completing a number of challenges that all involve serving some serious “lewks”, and after RuPaul’s unfortunate outburst back in episode five (you know, that H&M comment), the pressure has been on for the contestants to prove their worth on the runway. So far, the majority of t...

Netflix Testing Feature to Crack Down on Password Sharing
Netflix password sharing could soon be a thing of the past. As spotted by GammaWire, the streaming service is starting to test a pop-up screen meant to stop viewers from attempting to use somebody’s account. “If you don’t live with the owner of this account, you need your own account to keep watching,” the warning reads.

Grab The Popcorn! The MTV Movie & TV Awards Are Back
Little else got us through the blazing hellscape that was 2020 quite like movies and TV. While politicians hesitated to deliver sustainable coronavirus relief packages, mushy rom-coms, superhero action flicks, and fantasy adventures were there to hold you, distract you, and tell you everything would be OK. They’ve been a helpful reminder that a world existed before the pandemic — and that there will be one after it, too. That’s why the golden popcorn hits (tastes?) a little different this time around. The MTV Movie & TV Awards celebrate the biggest, the butteriest, and the most unbelievably outrageous in the business, and this installment is so massive that it can’t be contained to a single night. The show returns on Sunday, May 16, to toast the side-splitting, jaw-dropping momen...
Genera+ion‘s Gritty, Honest Outlook On Gen Z Starts With Zelda Barnz
By Alex Gonzalez Zelda Barnz has creativity in her blood. Growing up in Los Angeles with a parent in the entertainment industry, she was always surrounded by a diverse, eclectic cast of characters, and her inquisitive nature meant she had a desire to learn about each of them and share their stories. Today the 19-year-old screenwriter is doing just that with Genera+ion, the queer coming-of-age dramedy she crafted while still in high school. With all the stylistic edge of Euphoria and the biting relatability of Degrassi, Genera+ion homes in on the darkness and beauty of being a teenager today. It follows a loosely connected crew of high schoolers as they navigate everything from sexuality and gender identity, to substance use and social media, to all the hyped-up horniness you’d expect ...
