And now a very special message (via The WOW Report) from superstar drag legend RuPaul …
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making 2011 a year filled with Eleganza Extravaganza! This is the beginning of the rest of your life. Everybody say LOVE! RuPaul
The Beginning from RuPaul’s latest album Glamazon, available on Amazon & iTunes. Featured on the upcoming 4th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Mondays on LOGO starting January 30th.
OMG … the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. It’s almost here! While I breathe into this paper bag, check out the list of guest judges on this season from Access Hollywood, which includes stars from Glee and Modern Family. Please God, let there be a cross-over somewhere in all of this …
The upcoming season four of RuPaul’s Drag Race – premiering on Logo on January 30 – will have a slew up Hollywood stars judging the fierceness of the show’s would-be drag queen stars. Logo announced on Monday that Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Pam Anderson, Glee’s Amber Riley, Rose McGowan, Jennifer Tilly, Natalie Cole, Regina King and Wynonna Judd will be some of the show’s celebrity guest judges. But it’s not only the ladies that will be judging Ru’s girls. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, former NBA stars John Salley and Rick Fox and The Tonight Show’s Ross Mathews will also serve up their sassy takes on the ladies.
This is actually kind of an awesome list, although it’s all for naught if my favorite judge, Michelle Visage, isn’t back on the show. Also Santino Rice, because we need someone on the jury panel for Ru to make fun of whenever he comes in wearing something super weird. He’s the Andre Leon Talley of this competition! Also, some Mike Ruiz for good measure, if only because I didn’t know it was possible for someone’s jaw to be perfectly square like that. Mathematicians use his face to measure 90 degree angles.
OH HELL YES! The new fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is just around the corner (kicking off in January), and LOGO has finally unveiled the list of this cycle’s queens who will be competing for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar, watch their intro videos below! And of course, they’re going have to open wide and show everyone their Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent. Yes, they’ll have to air it out and shove it in people’s faces and really show the world just how deep it goes. It’s time to find out who’s the biggest CU – oh, crap, is that what that spells? How did I not notice that before?!

As most of you know (or at least I HOPE most of you know) hunky celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz is kind of a regular fixture on RuPaul’s Drag Race, aka the only reality competition worth a damn. As a friend of the show, Mike decided to send in a spoof-audition tape showing off his lip syncing skills, and here’s what I took away from the experience:
RuPaul’s Drag Race devotees will remember season two’s Pandora Boxx, aka the bitch that should have won (sorry Tyra Sanchez, but … PANDORA BOXX. ‘Nuff said.) Anyway, she has a new song available on iTunes! Plus she just released the new music video (watch it below) for it a couple days ago. It’s all about vaginas if you’re into that sort of thing, so check it out now and make sure to buy it!
Have I ever mentioned I love RuPaul? Because I totally do. I love her. And just when I thought my love for her couldn’t grow any stronger, she went ahead and trolled Courtney Stodden on Twitter, and of course, the teenage prostitard totally bought it. HA! Classic.
@Rupaul: Dear @CourtneyStodden, I ask that U guide my thoughts, my feelings & my perceptions AMEN
@CourtneyStodden: @RuPaul Mmm… I understand you – & YOU are Beautiful! :)
First off, I love how Ru brings up Courtney, mostly because (and I might be reading too heavily into this) Courtney looks and acts like a grown, adult drag queen pretending to be a hyper-sexualized teenage gold-digger for laughs. Except she actually is a hyper-sexualized gold-digger, which is simultaneously WAY funnier and sadder. Second, I LOVE the fact that Courtney took it as a compliment, and rewarded Ru’s mad trolling skills with whatever the hell she just said. Seriously, I don’t think that really had anything to do with Ru’s tweet, although it isn’t all that surprising when you consider that Courtney has trouble speaking in anything other than condensed teen-slut letters addressed to Penthouse.
Adding: OH MY GOD THE TEASER FOR RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE SEASON 4 IS OUT. I DIE.
So the Emmys are coming up, and everyone is currently hard at work promoting their shows for consideration. And of course, one of the shows trying to get its foot in the door is the incomparable Rupaul‘s Drag Race! The show is gunning for Best Reality Program and Outstanding Host for a Reality Program, and I swear to God, if RuPaul doesn’t sweep both categories, then there is no God. RuPaul has more charisma, energy and class in her tuck than Ryan Seacrest has in his entire body, and Drag Race makes The Amazing Race look like fucking Bridalplasty. Bitches better give RuPaul a motherfucking Emmy, or else someone’s getting bitchslapped.
In case you missed my glowing tweets earlier this week about RuPaul‘s new album Glamazon (her 5th studio release), then you need to know how amazing, upbeat and positive Ru’s latest release is! She teamed up with super cutie Lucian Piane for the second time (he produced 2009′s Champion, which is stellar as well) and they totally made music magic once again, lightening does indeed strike twice when it comes to this team, put your hands up! Below you can listen to one of my fave tracks, Responsitrannity, and please make sure to pick up a copy of Glamazon which is now available on iTunes!
