In the response video, Shannel explained that the moment was one of the show’s “comedic bits,” in a long line of drag queens performing gags about the audience tipping.
Despite having seen bits like it “happen for years” on the drag circuit, Shannel said that “moving forward, [she] will never touch a guest’s personal belongings again.

“Are you ready to be the baddest b—- in school? Class is in session!” That’s right, last night was the season 2 premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race spin-off RuPaul’s Drag U, where a bevy of Drag Race queens take dumpy straight women and make them over into glamorous…drag queens! It all takes place at a school somewhere “deep in the Lake Titty-Caca Valley,” as host RuPaul says in the hilarious opening credits. I can’t help but smile every time I hear him intone the words “Lake Titty-Caca Valley.”

Congratulations to Roger Federer, who's now been in the final of all four Grand Slams at least five times each! And a plate is a lot more useful than a stupid cup that you can't even drink from.
The big news today is that Trevor Donovan will not be returning next season as a 90210 series regular. He will, however, "guest star" in roughly five episodes. The thing is, maybe as a "guest star" he'll actually get more screen time than as a regular. Jim Parsons will guest star on iCarly later this year as a mental patient who thinks he's from the future. Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will open the first live episode of The Voice tomorrow night with a Queen medley. I guess Blake was outvoted. Speaking of The Voice, below you can see out contestant Nakia sing "Can't Live Without Fallon," after...

RuPaul’s Drag Race aired its final episode of season 3 last week, but that doesn’t mean that you have too long for more queens on Logo. No, silly, the reality show’s spin-off, RuPaul’s Drag U — the series that finds Drag Race alums making over what RuPaul refers to as “biological women” — returns for 10 brand-new episodes on June 20 at 9 p.m., and EW has exclusively learned the list of luminaries serving as guest judges this coming season. As you can see from the photo here, Glee’s Dot Jones — who plays fan-favorite Coach Beiste and is pictured with...

It’s a mixed bag for the gays this week as we have more Ragan on Big Brother (who’s your saboteur, baby!), less Ryan on The Real World, and I learn to appreciate – sort of – Brent on the Beekman Boys.
But Real World’s Knight shows his homophobic side, Preston cries because he can’t use power tools (but does Lady Gaga drag so he cares!) and my DVR ate Project Runway so I can’t recap what happened!
Oh, well, as long as Jujubee is present on RuPaul’s DragU, how bad can things really be?
Big Brother
Once again, the cartoonish Head of Household competition is down to “I tell people my wife has a disease and I’m a genius” Matt and out Ragan.
Pay attention Brigade, what with your Abercrombie model, your Jersey mobster type, and your linebacker Texan: the gays rock. Alas, Ragan loses...
