#Beyonce, #JayZ #GLAADMediaAwards  #DragQueen #Shangela #ShangelaLaquifaWadley #RuPaulsDragRace

Beyoncé and Jay-Z were honored at the GLAAD Media Awards, where they were treated to a special performance from one of America's favorite drag queens.
Former Drag Race star Shangela Laquifa Wadley, known to her many fans as simply “Shangela,” performed for Beyoncé and Jay-Z at this year’s GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday night, adding to her already banner year.
The drag queen, who was the first runner-up on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3 and recently appeared in A Star Is Born, delved into a 7-minute medley of Beyoncé tunes — and she was so good that Queen Bey herself gave her a standing ovation.
Shangela's performance was designed to honored the Carters, who were attending the ceremony to accept the Vanguard Award, which celebrates folks in entertainment who advocate equal rights for LGBT people even though they don’t identify with the community themselves.
Online reaction for Shangela's Beyoncé performance was breathless.
Though she didn’t win Drag Race, people certainly believe she has become the country’s next drag superstar.

Shangela really didn’t need the crown to become America’s Next Drag Superstar.

And, yes, at the end of the performance, Beyoncé — THE Beyoncé — stood on her feet to praise Shangela. This is the highest form of praise tbh. It also looks like she mouths “SO GREAT” while clapping.

Other fans recounted all of the major work Shangela has done recently, including collaborating with some of the biggest names in music and film. (If you didn't know, Shangela is the voice you hear at the beginning of Ariana Grande’s “NASA.”)
A legend who never stops working.

In the past year Shangela went on a world tour, was in a Star is Born, went to the Oscars, had a cameo on Ariana Grande’s album, and now is performing for BEYONCÉ. She truly WON.

Trixie Mattel, the queen who ultimately snatched the All Stars 3 crown, commended her former castmate’s performance too.
After Shangela’s performance, Beyoncé and Jay-Z took the stage to accept their award.
The music icon said she was “super honored and overwhelmed” and had a bit of a wardrobe mishap because of Shangela’s fabulous performance.

"I've already cried,” Beyoncé said. “I put a run in my stocking from Shangela.”
Legends honoring legends. Amen

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
