-

RuPaul's Drag Race has grown into a global empire with nearly two dozen seasons (and counting) across several countries. The Emmy-winning American version pioneered many of the things that are emulated in its international counterparts, including the famous Lip Sync For Your Life.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' is centered around the Lip Sync For Your Life

Every episode of RuPaul's Drag Race has ended with a lip sync battle between the two lowest-performing queens of the week. Depending on the song choice, whether it's a high-energy pop number or a ballad, the queens need to embody the music and deliver a showstopping performance so they can stay. Artists who have been featured include Lady Gaga, Prince, and Cher.

Over the years, plenty of gagworthy moments have happened during the lip sync. One of the most infamous was Valentina's refusal to take her mask off in season 9, or more recently, Ginny Lemon walking off stage and quitting the competition on season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Ariana Grande has had the most 'Drag Race' lip syncs

Season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race had some history-making moments, but one of them came with the simple choice of a lip sync song. Symone and Utica faced off to Ariana Grande's hit "No Tears Left to Cry," with Symone sending Utica home. It was the seventh Grande song featured on Drag Race in just a few years, making her the most-lip synced artist in Drag Race herstory.

Grande first appeared on the show as a guest judge in Season 7, when Jaidynn Diore Fierce and Kandy Ho lip-synced to "Break Free." "Greedy" has become infamous in Drag Race lore because of Valentina's mask moment. Aquaria took home the crown in Season 10 after her explosive performance (literally) to "Bang Bang" in the finale. Valentina redeemed herself with "Into You" on All-Stars Season 4, Nicky Doll and Dahlia Sin faced off to "Problem" in Season 12, and Miz Cracker and Roxxxy Andrews battled it out to "One Last Time" on All-Stars Season 5.

When Grande realized that she had become the most lip-synced artist in Drag Race herstory, she took to Twitter and called it "the biggest honor." "I can't stop screaming," she said honestly.

She echoed her sentiments on her Instagram Stories the night the episode aired. She even screamed and cheered on Symone during the lip sync. "This is the greatest honor of all time; I am so happy and thankful," she said. "No understands what this means to me."

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a...

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m...
