Throwing shade never felt so fabulous. With all the bad blood boiling between today’s pop stars, we’ve got mad love for Bounce Nightclub Hinge Lounge’s monthly Pop Vs. shows ($5). Local and national drag kings and queens unleash their inner divas every second Saturday to bring to life some of pop culture’s biggest rivalries. “There’s something about cheesy bubblegum pop that really brings a lot of vigilance out of people,” says entertainment and media director and resident DJ Zoe Lapin. From world-famous Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry strutting her stuff in a see-through body suit to Akron entertainer Discord Addams climbing the catwalk in 6-inch black platform pumps, ripped leggings and a crop top leather jacket worthy of Lady Gaga’s approval, each event aims to bring two fandoms head-to-head on the dance floor while a multitude of entertainers perform the biggest hits from opposing sides. “It’s about people coming together and enjoying music,” says Lapin. 2814 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, 216-696-0831, facebook.com/bouncenightclubhingelounge
