READ TIME: 1 MIN.
The ninth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" is right around the corner and Entertainment Weekly "RuVealed" the incredible list of celeb guest judges who will appear in the coming weeks.
As "Drag Race" fans know, Lady Gaga will be Season 9's first judge and will appear on the premiere episode. But the rest of the season is full of some big names: Lisa Kudrow ("Friends"), Cheyenne Jackson ("30 Rock"), pop star Meghan Trainor, Kesha, The B-52s, actress Andie MacDowell, reality star Tori Spelling, Denis O'hare ("American Horror Story"), Naya Rivera ("Glee"), Jennie Garth ("90210"), Noah Galvin ("The Real O'Neals"), former "Drag Race" judge Todrick Hall, singer Tamar Braxton, QVC's Lisa Robertson, supermodel Joan Smalls, trans activist Candis Cayne, comedian Fortune Feimster and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman ("UnREAL").
"There's an ease and familiarity that is apparent when you watch her," RuPaul told EW of Gaga's appearance on the show "We had a fabulous time with Gaga. She was in heaven because this is all so much a part of her wheelhouse and what she does with imagery, costumes, and the way she presents herself."
As previously reported, the new season of "Drag Race" will debut on VH1 for the first time.
"Drag Race" returns Friday where 13 queens will compete to become America's next drag superstar. Of course, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Matthews and Mama Ru will return as permanent judges.
