Guest judges on the upcoming third
season of RuPaul's
Drag Race include Fantasia, Carmen Electra, Margaret Cho and
Johnny Weir.
Before its Monday, January 24 premiere,
all-gay cabler Logo will air the show's first-ever casting special.
RuPaul unleashed his first search for
America's next superstar drag queen two years ago. After crowning
two queens, and upping the number of contestants from 9 to 12,
America's first drag queen superstar is ready for a third go-around.
Contestants on the reality show face a
barrage of fashion-related and talent challenges in their quest to
win a prize package that includes a headlining spot on Logo's Drag
Race Tour, a lifetime supply of Kryolan Professional Make-up and a
cash prize of $75,000.
Also appearing this season to judge the
drag queens will be singer LaToya Jackson, talk show host Sharon
Osbourne, Mike Ruiz, celebrity photographer and star of Logo's The
A-List: New York, Chloe Sevigny, star of HBO's Big Love,
fashion model Cheryl Tiegs, comedian Lily Tomlin and actress Vanessa
Williams.
