Mel B to join Queen of the Universe judging panel

Spice Girls legend Mel B will join the judging panel for the second season of Paramount+ drag queen singing contest Queen of the Universe. The singer joins the show's three returning judges - RuPaul's Drag Race judge Michelle Visage Grammy nominee Vanessa Williams and Drag Race All Stars winner Trixie Mattel - on the panel.
