Besides these movers and shakers about town, there's also talk of a drag queen joining the cast at some point this season. PopEater reports that blonde bombshell Elaine Lancaster, who is a close friend of Dennis Rodman and whose male name is James Davis, will be part of the show's wider ensemble. One TV executive allegedly said having "this kind of character" on "mainstream TV with honesty and dignity will help everyone accept that the America we all live in is full of beautiful and talented people that come in many different forms." Of course, it'll also make for one heck of an entertaining show.
