Consistently voted 'most popular' judge on shows from "America's Got Talent" to "The X Factor" UK, she embraced a whole new generation to become one of the most recognized faces on television, fronting shows from "Lip Sync" UK, "The X Factor" in Britain and Australia, "Dancing With The Stars" in Australia, "America's Got Talent" and "Celebrity Juice."

Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and World of Wonder, the producers of the Emmy(R) Award-winning franchise "RuPaul's Drag Race," QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE follows the world's most talented drag queens as they battle it out for global domination, and countries go head-to-head spotlighting their top talent.

Each episode will feature the world's fiercest queens as they debut a new musical performance in front of a live audience and the "Pop Diva Panel" of judges in the hopes of being crowned the "Queen of the Universe."
