Yahoo News RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 unveils cast with twist
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 9 has unveiled the queens returning to the Werk Room.
Fresh off confirming that the All Stars format will be back in May, RuPaul has confirmed that some of the most iconic queens in the show's history will be competing for the crown.
One big twist for this season is that, while all eight queens will be in the running for $200,000, the money will go to a charity of the winner's choice. The prize money is being supplied by The Palette Fund.
Mama Ru is back at the head of the judging table, and will be joined by returning judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Ts Madison.
