Shangela impressed host Tyra Banks after surprising the judges with fried chicken on 'Dancing With The Stars.'

Drag queen, actor, RuPaul's Drag Race alumnus, stand-up comedian and costar of HBO's drag makeover show We're Here are just a portion of the resumé for Dancing With the Stars contestant Shangela.

The performer is well known for her quick wit and hilarious approach to drag. A stunt she recently pulled on Dancing With the Stars is so vintage Shangela fans can't stop cheering.


At the end of her and dance partner Gleb Savchenko's tango performance on Monday night's live edition of the long-running dance competition show, Shangela gave the judges and viewers everywhere a memorable finale by pulling a piece of fried chicken out of her dress.

Kind of brings a new meaning to the phrase, "She ate," right?

The chicken was a gift of sorts for judge Len Goodman from Shangela's mom, but he wasn't the only one who got a snack onstage.

Shangela had a second fried chicken leg stashed in her cleavage, which host Tyra Banks ate with relish.

It all began when Shangela asked Goodman, "Were my legs crispy?" after he'd told her the previous week to watch the placement and flexing of her legs while dancing.

After Goodman confirmed Shangela's legs had looked perfect in that night's performance, Shangela whipped a piece of fried chicken in a plastic bag out of her cleavage and presented it to Goodman while quipping:

"Good cuz... my mama said make sure I give you this piece of crispy chicken to make sure them crispy legs were just as crispy."

Shangela then gave a hearty "Halleloo!," her signature catchphrase, as the crowd erupted in cheers and laughter.

A flabbergasted Banks asked:

"Wait, did you dance this entire time with a piece of fried chicken in your décolleté?!"

At which Shangela yanked a second piece of chicken from her chest and clarified:

"I danced with two pieces of chicken in my titties!"

There was nothing left to do but take a bite, so that's what Banks did, to the crowd's delight.

On Twitter, people loved the crispy fried chaos of this moment.









In the end, the chicken paid off.

Shangela and Savchenko got 9s across the board, placing them in fourth for the night and moving them forward in the competition.

Halleloo!

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
