New York, NY - January 23, 2020 - VH1 today ru-vealed the cast for the 12th season of award-winning "RuPaul's Drag Race." On the heels of its second consecutive Emmy(R) win for Outstanding Competition Program, the fiercest series on primetime returns to the runway on Friday, February 28th at 8:00 PM ET/PT.

"With each new generation of queens, the RuPaul's Drag Race revolution continues to drive culture," said Executive Producer and four-time Emmy(R) Award-winning host RuPaul. "And as more and more new viewers discover the show, the phenomenon continues to open hearts and minds with love, laughter and a whole lotta sass."

The newest queens who are ready to pledge their allegiance to the drag and snatch the crown of "America's Next Drag Superstar" were introduced via a Twitter Live stream which can be viewed HERE.

The thirteen queens include:
Aiden Zhane (Acworth, GA) | Instagram: @aiden_zhane, Twitter: @AidenZhane
Hailing from rural Georgia, it's apparent Aiden Zhane is attracted to the darker side of life. Horror films, Marilyn Manson, and weirdness all inform her outlandish - and original - spooky persona.
Brita (New York, NY) | Instagram/Twitter: @thebritafilter
Everyone who knows drag in New York City knows Brita. That's because this hard-working Polynesian queen captivates audiences with her famous lip-syncs... no less than seven nights a week.
Crystal Methyd (Springfield, MO) |Instagram/Twitter: @crystalmethyd
The only thing Crystal Methyd is addicted to is attention. And with her quirky fashions, incomparable makeup skills and screwball sense of humor, she'll certainly be catching the judges' eyes.
Dahlia Sin (Los Angeles, CA) | Instagram/Twitter: @dahlia_sin
Originally hailing from Brooklyn, Dahlia Sin emerged from the Haus of Aja (of Season 9 and All Stars fame). Now this look queen lives in LA, where she wows the west coast with her urban brand of sexiness.
Gigi Goode (Los Angeles, CA) |Instagram/Twitter: @thegigigoode
This leggy fashion queen is only 21, but enters the competition with a sizeable social media following. Gorgeous fashion illustrations come to life and make her Instagram fans stan.
Heidi N Closet (Ramseur, NC) | Instagram/Twitter: @heidincloset
Heidi comes from Ramseur, a small country town in North Carolina. She playfully says there's little to do there except count chickens and cows. But her infectious persona is sure to make her a global name very soon.
Jackie Cox (New York, NY) | Instagram/Twitter: @jackiecoxnyc
The Persian princess of drag has arrived. Born in Canada and with Iranian heritage, Jackie Cox now considers the New York cabaret stage her home. She loves to write her own shows and bring them to life.
Jaida Essence Hall (Milwaukee, WI) | Instagram/Twitter: @jaidaehall
Jaida Essence Hall always strives to be the essence of glamour. She originally wanted to be a fashion designer, and now gets to both live that fantasy and model her own gorgeous creations.
Jan (New York, NY) | Instagram: @janjanjan, Twitter: @jansportnyc
Jan is a musical theater queen and skilled singer, who can belt in the original key of a female popstar's song. Ambitious and driven, she's looking to slay the Drag Race performance challenges.
Nicky Doll (New York, NY) | Instagram: @thenickydoll

The first French contestant to compete in RuPaul's Drag Race, Nicky Doll relocated from Paris to New York City, where she enchants audiences with her European catwalk, high fashions and seductive charm.
Rock M. Sakura (San Francisco, CA) |Instagram/Twitter: @rockmsakura
Rock M. Sakura's aesthetic is an amalgamation of anime, manga, and anything pink. With her high-energy death-dropping performance style and dirty sense of humor, this is a queen who defies categorization.
Sherry Pie (New York, NY) | Instagram/Twitter: @sherrypienyc

A campy, polished queen who knows her references, Sherry Pie will leave an audience in stitches. And with Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett as her icons, she's certainly learned from the best.
Widow Von'Du (Kansas City, MO) |Instagram: @thewidowvondu, Twitter: @WidowVonDu
The Widow is up in the building. A Missouri girl who lives life out loud, this queen can perform the house down... and dance circles around her competition.

The cast includes:
· The 305 heats up with the arrival of Joseline Hernandez, who returns to the franchise after a three-year hiatus. A changed woman and newly engaged to DJ Ballistic Beats, Joseline is ready to shake things up and show Miami just how it's done. With a few scores to settle, Joseline is prepping her debut album and looking to grab the music industry that eluded her back in Atlanta.

· Picking up the pieces after the death of her mother, Trina pushes forward with an ambitious new project: a tour highlighting the next generation of female rap artists. With a growing roster of big talent, big personalities and big egos, The Diamond Princess has her hands full.

· Romance is in the air for Trick Daddy and his new girlfriend - model and aspiring rapper Nikki Natural. Can Trick Daddy find love after marriage or did he let happiness slip through his fingers when he filed to divorce his ex Joy Young?

· For the first time in years, Amara La Negra is in a relationship with bachata singer Emjay, who happens to be Shay Johnson's younger brother. Emjay wants to start a family ASAP and blames Julian, her manager, for the slowdown of Amara's career. Which way does Amara turn when she's caught between the two most important men in her life?

· Jojo Zarur has made a name for herself in the fashion industry, striking a deal with a high-end designer. When her father Antonio bribes her to quit the industry and go back to law school, is she willing to walk away from her potential empire?

· Sukihana is on a journey from becoming an insta-famous rapper to a full-fledged industry-respected artist and is ready to prove herself. Used to doing things her way, is Sukihana ready to sacrifice some of her hard-earned independence in order to have a serious music career?

· Hood Brat, a tough-as-nails rapper with hustle and heart, is working for her breakthrough moment. Her pursuit of fame has high stakes, as she's determined to provide a better life for the children of her late sister.

· Queen of waist trainers PreMadonna rolls into Miami on a mission to straighten things out at the Waist Gang Society, where her employees are running amuck. Pre gets more than she bargained for when everyone - including former close friends Miami Tip and Baby Blue -- accuses her of abandoning them.

· After collaborating with Lil' Wayne, Flo Rida and Rick Ross, Brisco was set to break through to the hip-hop A-list before he was sent to jail. Three-and-a-half years later, he's a free man and inching his way back onto the scene. The industry has changed and he's facing an uphill battle, despite the co-signs of Miami legends Trick and Trina.

[via press release from VH1] VH1 unveils new real estate docu-series "Love & Listings" premiering Wednesday, July 31st at 9:00PM
Suge Knight's son Jacob Knight to star
Star-studded clientele features Jermaine Dupri, Jordin Sparks, Amber Rose, Ray J, Brandy Norwood and more

(New York, NY) June 28, 2019 - VH1 launches new real estate docu-series "Love & Listings," which is set to premiere Wednesday, July 31 at 9:00PM ET/PT. The eight, one-hour episodes open the doors to the glamorous and scandalous lives of Southern California's young, ambitious real estate agents and their elite celebrity clientele.

The biggest names in Hollywood, including Jermaine Dupri, Jordin Sparks, Amber Rose, Ray J, Brandy Norwood, Laz Alonso, and more look to this group of talented real estate moguls when it's time to buy and sell their Hollywood dream homes. In between closing million-dollar deals, the lines between business and pleasure blur and the real drama begins.

The series offers an exclusive look into the life of Suge Knight's son Suge Jacob Knight, a real estate trainee determined to forge his own path and recover his family legacy following his father's alleged legal woes. Knight struggles both personally and professionally under the weight of his family name as he strives to rise in the ranks of LA's real estate game.

Meet the cast:
Zac Diles is a former professional football player and has since suited up for a new type of game: real estate. After eight years playing ball, Zac has built a network of clients out of his former teammates (and adversaries). Zac's love for the ladies (including other agents) often gets him in trouble. Despite being in a relationship with Kat Tat from VH1's "Black Ink Crew: Chicago," Zac finds himself caught between his current girlfriend Kat and fellow cast member and ex-girlfriend Samantha, who is determined to get him back.

A part-time waitress struggling to fulfill her dream of becoming a celebrity real estate agent, Ajani Scott moved her hustle over to the world of real estate to make some money while she builds her professional network. Seeing her potential, veteran agent Erik Miles has taken Ajani on as an apprentice at his own agency. The stakes are high as Ajani learns to put her money where her mouth is, which jeopardizes Erik's A-list clientele.

Taylor Schwartz is a rookie agent. Despite her young age, she is a force to be reckoned with. She has the charm, smarts and beauty to reel in new clients, but her fiery temper often lands her in hot water, leaving her career in jeopardy. Working under Tai's wing, Taylor begins to wonder if the "grass is greener" when fellow real estate competitor Andrew Clinkscale offers her a position.
Andrew Clinkscale is a top agent at one of Beverly Hills' most prestigious real estate agencies. However, Andrew wasn't always on top. He grew up through the foster care system and was homeless twice in his life. He's seen the bottom and is determined to never go back. Andrew's professional and personal life soon collide as romantic rumors with another real estate agent begin to arise. Will the swirling affair rumors around the engaged "golden boy of real estate" bring him down?

Samantha Barretto recently moved to LA and has quickly moved up the real estate food chain by joining one of the most prestigious agencies in Beverly Hills. While running in the same industry circles as her ex-boyfriend Zac, Samantha's feelings for him begin to heat back up and start to affect her professional life.

Sarah Scheper is a proven real estate power player who originally conquered the market in Orange County. After overcoming personal struggles, Sarah has embraced her sobriety and turned over a new leaf in LA. While Sarah quickly becomes the queen of Beverly Hills real estate, her reputation is threatened when she begins an on-again, off-again relationship with Jacob which leads to friction between him and the other agents.

Erik Miles is a charming lawyer-turned real estate agent, a one-stop shop with his own imprint at a West Hollywood agency. The son of a successful athlete, Erik is willing to take risks to close deals which often pays off... but sometimes blows up in his face.

Tai Savet is eager to break bread (and the bank) with his unique LA-based brokerage firm as the go-to agent for the biggest names in show-biz. From Tai's perspective, the future is bright and primed for expansion, especially with a roster of hip millennials on his team, including Taylor and Jacob.
Alexandre Anu is a real estate titan at of one of LA's premiere brokerage firms and continues to grow his elite clientele. All of his listings are high-end luxury properties with an extensive client roster of A-list celebrities and top business executives.

[via press release from VH1] "Black Ink Crew" expands franchise west with "Black Ink Crew: Compton"
New series premieres Tuesday, July 30th at 9PM

NEW YORK, NY (JUNE 22, 2019) - "Black Ink Crew" makes its mark on California as VH1 expands the popular franchise with, "Black Ink Crew: Compton," on Tuesday, July 30th with a two-hour premiere at 9PM ET/PT. "Black Ink Crew: Compton" follows Danny "KP" Kirkpatrick and his crew at 'IAMCompton,' the first-ever tattoo shop in Compton. Compton, known for its musical influence and iconic street art, is an artistic melting-pot ready for the newest tat crew to share their talent.

KP, famed tattoo artist and visionary, is bringing his team of artists into the community and are using their creative energy to make a change while creating a "safe zone" in the city he calls home.
At 'IAMCompton,' KP has assembled a dream team of tattoo artists, friends and new additions to build a trusted family at the shop that has become known as "a crew among gangs." Their mission is to create a movement in Compton through their creative collective by celebrating the talent, passion and rich culture of the community. The crew is here to represent the city in a way that rises above the stereotypes and embraces the rich culture of Compton. The IAMCompton artists confront identity crisis and social conflicts by channeling their imagination into body art and comradery. But with the pressure to succeed and represent their home, will they reinvent their community or fall under pressure?

Meet the crew:
KP, is the self-proclaimed "Prince of Compton" whose passion for tattooing led to founding IAMCompton - inking those exact words on his own skin. He is known as an elite tattoo artist, having inked some of the biggest names in entertainment. With a new shop opening and television series on the way, KP and his long-time partner, Kyla Pratt, careers are at an all time high.
Lemeir hails from Philadelphia and knows what it takes to make it in a tough neighborhood, turning street knowledge into serious business acumen. His early ambitions led to the creation of "Happy Ice," a successful food truck with a popular following. With a bright future ahead and his first child on the way, Lemeir is even more dedicated to accomplishing his goals with his high school sweetheart, Danielle, by his side.

Nessie is a tattooist, lyricist and muralist who's friends with Lemeir from Philly. She's moving to Compton to join the crew with big dreams of making a name for herself in the industry and shaking things up in the tattoo world's male-dominated culture.

Ink Drippin was raised in Compton as a talented, free-spirited lothario who is very popular with the ladies. But behind his playboy image, he is a good guy at heart- coming back to Compton to help his sick mother. As a half Black and half Mexican man, Ink is discovering his heritage and looking to reconnect with his father who left the family when he was very young, while sharing his artistic talents with the crew.

Vudu Dahl is an apprentice and prodigy in the tattoo world. Raised outside of Seattle within a religious commune, Vudu was extremely sheltered from the outside world. After leaving her 13 siblings and parents, Vudu experimented with drugs and alcohol, but used tattooing to overcome her addiction. She is unlike any other artist in the shop and is bringing her unique vibe to Compton.
Tim is the I AM shop manager, KP's cousin and right-hand man to the operation. Having protected KP on the football field in high school, he left his sports dreams behind to protect his cousin both in the streets and in business. He stays true to his Compton roots by maintaining relationships with friends who are involved in gang culture, while being devoted to taking the shop to the next level.
Barbie is the shop receptionist and a long-time friend of KP's who sprinkles a whole lot of style, class and sass to the I AM team. Being a survivor of gun violence and domestic abuse, Barbie doesn't let anything bring her down and always manages to come out on top.
