SHOW. ME. THE. RECEIPTS.
He’s the media’s Freddie Krueger: no matter how hard he falls (sacked as the Daily Mirror editor in 2004; quit his job as Good Morning Britain host in 2021 after you know what), he just keeps coming back. But after 35 years in the game, has the face of Murdoch’s TalkTV moved on from the nastiness that defined his tabloid years?

Peppermint
Forget your All Stars and your vs the Worlds, some RuPaul’s Drag Race stars forge a career with a singular appearance on the show. And this bitch didn’t even win the damn competition, placing runner-up on season 9 — possibly the best one ever. “We set a standard on our season, I think,” opines Peppermint. “Also, it was the first season in the States to go to VH1, so it was really polished by the time it opened up for a lot of people. It was also a standout because it had the first lip-sync smackdown as the finale, and [it was] the first time they’d had a final four. People seem to really like that format.” Peppermint has since released two studio albums and, as Pythio in The Go-Go’s-inspired musical Head Over Heels, become the first trans woman to originate a lead Broadway role. It’s a privilege to catch up with this fierce talent.
