After slaying her way into the top eight of American Idol a few years back, many predicted big things for San Antonio native Ada Vox, the long-running singing competition’s first drag queen contestant. Vox has joined a cast of 14 international drag performers competing for a $250,000 prize on the new Paramount+ singing contest series Queen of the Universe, Entertainment Weekly reports. Vox isn’t the only Queen diva with previous reality TV experience, however. What sets Queen apart from other TV drag contests is that it’s primarily a singing competition, according to EW. “It’s a global aspect that we’ve never seen before, and it’s a singing competition; no one is lip-syncing, they’re all singing their own tunes,” Williams told EW.

"Entertainment Tonight" co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Kevin Frazier share the highs and lows of TV's biggest night.
