RuPaul is back with a new crop of celebrity guest judges to help transform "herstory" with the highly anticipated sixth season of the ground-breaking series, "RuPaul's Drag Race." This February, Logo TV, Viacom's television, digital and social brand focused on the LGBT community, introduces 14 of the nation's fiercest drag queens including Adore Delano, April Carrion, BenDeLaCreme, Bianca del Rio, Courtney Act, Darienne Lake, Gia Gunn, Joslyn Fox, Kelly Mantle, Laganja Estranja, Magnolia Crawford, Milk, Trinity K. Bonet and Vivacious who will compete for the crown and determine who will walk away with a $100,000 cash prize and the coveted title of "America's Next Drag Superstar." Season six of "RuPaul's Drag Race" premieres tonight, February 24th at 9 PM ET/PT on Logo TV.

"This season of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' is perfect for viewers who want to 'butch it up' after watching a month of Olympic figure skating!" exclaimed RuPaul.

Once again, RuPaul will be joined by the hottest celebrities in pop culture today to help judge every second of the face primping, wig snatching and tuck tightening action. This season's celeb guest judges include Neil Patrick Harris, Adam Lambert, Khloe Kardashian, Lena Headey, Linda Blair, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Heather McDonald, Eve, Trina, Leah Remini, Jaime Pressly, Paula Abdul, Mike Ruiz, David Burtka and Bob Mackie alongside show regulars Michelle Visage and Santino Rice. Together they will decide who will stay, lip-sync for their life or "Sashay Away." Additional guest appearances this season include: Lucian Piane, Gillian Jacobs, Lainie Kazan, Bruce Vilanch, Chaz Bono, Georgia Holt and US Weekly Entertainment Director, Ian Drew.

Also, companion series "Untucked: RuPaul's Drag Race" returns for an all-new season of the backstabbing, backbreaking and backstage drama that you didn't see on the runway. RuPaul narrates the explosive episodes of raw, behind-the-scenes moments from the new season. And if the pressure of the main stage wasn't enough, you never know who will stop by to keep the girls on their high-heeled toes. New episodes of "Untucked: RuPaul's Drag Race" air each week following "RuPaul's Drag Race."

In the end, only one contestant will have what it takes to win the coveted title of "America's Next Drag Superstar," and a prize package that includes a sickening supply of Colorevolution Cosmetics and a cash prize of $100,000.

"RuPaul's Drag Race" and "Untucked: RuPaul's Drag Race" are produced by World of Wonder Productions with Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Mandy Salangsang, Steven Corfe and RuPaul Charles serving as Executive Producers.
