“Hold on a second, this is actually Bob the Drag Queen calling me,” Steve Warren says as he interrupts our discussion to take the quick call.
We all feel a level of having fallen down a rabbit hole these days, but this is about the last thing I would expect to hear from one of the most prominent attorneys in Hollywood — a lawyer whose clients include Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Charlize Theron, Stephen Gaghan, Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown, Akiva Goldsman, Elle & Dakota Fanning and dozens of other top actors and filmmakers.
I rang Warren because I had never heard of a lawyer on his level – he is a longtime partner in the firm Hansen Jacobson Teller Hoberman Newman Warren Richman Rush Kaller & Gellman – moonlighting as the co-creator and exec producer of We’re Here, the new HBO reality series whose second episode airs tonight.

Three beloved alumni from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” — Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela Laquifa Wadley — roll into small town America ready to put on a special, one-night only engagement at a local venue. Only this time, they are just the entry point into the story in HBO’s new unstructured reality series, “We’re Here.”
Created by Johnnie Ingram and Steve Warren, “We’re Here” spends six episodes following these big personalities from Missouri to Idaho to change the lives of some very special individuals.
“There’s something about drag that is an olive branch to these communities,” Ingram says. “A lot of these towns tuck away these conversations, and it’s not something you’re allowed to talk about, so it just sits. And so bringing a big, glamorous drag show to town gets people talking.”
In each town, the queens take on a drag daughter (or two), transforming the person in look,...

HBO’s drag makeover series “We’re Here” is not about putting on a show. At least, not entirely.
Yes, the show does put people in drag and have them perform a number with three fan-favorite “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alums. And, okay, yes, one participant in the first episode does express interest in pursuing a career in drag. But the wigs and the heels and the makeup are not the point, the show’s stars and producers say. The person who exists beneath all that, and the life they go back to when they step off the stage, that’s the point.
“It never felt to me like [the drag] was the most significant part of it,” said series director and showrunner Peter LoGreco. “There’s having the courage to take that leap. But to me, it’s more about what taking this leap could mean for their own lives … Why is this...

Updated with details of event: At a Hollywood fundraiser Tuesday night , Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg warned of the crowd to not get too caught up in what President Donald Trump says, by “not allowing him to dominate our conversation about the future.”
Buttigieg asked supporters gathered at the Avalon Nightclub to “help us make sure that we don’t go on his show and play his game, that we pick up the remote and change the channel.”
Introduced by Mandy Moore, Buttigieg spoke for about 40 minutes, answering written questions from attendees that were selected from a fishbowl.
Asked why voters should select him, as opposed to others in the mammoth Democratic field, Buttigieg quipped that he offered the “only chance to vote for a Maltese american, Episcopalian, gay millennial mayor.” But he also said that he was a candidate from middle America who offered a voice that could cut...
