Logo TV Is Not Here For RuPaul Defending The Use Of The Word “Tranny”

rupaultranny

After a bunch of hos complained about the use of the word “shemale” being used on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Logo said that they were killing the use of the word on the show and would never air that word or the word “tranny” again. Well, during Marc Maron’s podcast, the grand dame bitch of Drag Race let it be known that the hit didn’t come from him, because if he had his his way the words “shemale” and “tranny” would long live on Drag Race. RuPaul said that the outrage isn’t coming from the transgender community. It’s coming from a bunch of people outside of the transgender community who are looking for a story “to strengthen their identity as victims.” Ru told those outraged hos that they better not tell him what he can and can’t say. I linked to Ru’s thoughts on “tranny” last week, but here’s a piece of what he said:

“You know, if your idea of happiness has to do with someone else changing what they say, what they do, you are in for a fucking hard-ass road.”

Logo responded to Ru’s defense of “tranny” and told Buzzfeed that Ru doesn’t speak for them and they are against all “anti-trans rhetoric.”

“These comments did not come from Logo. We are committed to supporting the entire LGBT community and will not feature any anti-trans rhetoric on our shows.”

SHOTS FIRED! But Ru’s wig stopped that bullet and he pulled it out and threw it back at Logo when he responded hard on Twitter this weekend. Ru basically said that Logo is still waving to him in the hallways and they’d be crazy not to since his show bought the MacBook Air they typed that statement on.

Trust! @LogoTV hasn’t “distanced” itself from me, not while I’m still payin’ the f%kin’ light bill over there. I’ve been a “tranny” for 32 years. The word “tranny” has never just meant transsexual. #TransvestiteHerstoryLesson I’m more “offended/hurt” by the misuse of the word “community”

The only thing I really have to add to this Logo vs. RuPaul “tranny controversy ” is that a while ago when I used to call Xtinatranny clown,” a guy wrote me what felt like a 20,000 e-mail saying that he dates a lot of transgender women and every single one of them would be disgusted and offended by my use of that derogatory word and I should post an apology and promise to keep that word from spilling out of my fingers. When I hit reply to write a response, I noticed that his email address was something like “ShemaleChaserGeorgia@hotmail.com.” I couldn’t then and I still can’t.


ICYMI: Doogie Howser Dry Humps Orlando Bloom’s Face While Wearing A Christmas Lights Skirt

Hello, this is Mr. John Travolta. I would like to audition for the lead role of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I can provide my own wigs and you don’t have to pay me. I’ll pay you!” said John Travolta to the producers of Hedwig and the Angry Inch after seeing Neil Patrick Harris’ performance on the Tonys last night. Because John Travolta’s wet dream role is a role where he gets to sing, crotch thrust, work the lace front right off of a glamorous wig AND face hump and crotch grind on a hot piece without worrying about that hot piece running off to The National Enquirer.

Here’s Doogie Howser MD running around the stage of Radio City Music Hall like a Great Granny McCool in heat while performing “Sugar Daddy” (Side question: What happened to the country twang in “Sugar Daddy”???) from Hedwig at the Tonys last night. When Doogie wasn’t dry boning giant speakers and going to second base with a broken down car, he graced Orlando Bloom’s face with the tucked peen that was smushed up against his taint and stabbed Kevin Bacon’s thighs with his bony ass bones when he sat on that trick’s lap. And Doogie Howser gets paid to do that. We should all find some time in our day to call our parents and scream at them for not forcing us into show business as kids so we could grow up and star in a Broadway musical where we’d get to give Kevin Bacon a lap dance and get paid to do it.

I really wish those crazy hyenas at Twelve Moms With No Life One Million Moms were watching, because their computers and heads probably exploded at the same time when Neil Patrick Harris gave his partner David Burtka a sloppy, wet kiss while dressed as a woman. Or those One Million Moms rubbed themselves raw to that image, because that’s the kind of outrage fuel they live for.

And here’s pictures of Doogie with his Tony Award (which he got for Best Actor in a Musical) and pictures of the other acting winners including six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, Bryan Cranston (for his role as Walter White in Breaking Bad the Musical, I wish), Lena Hall (for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for Hedwig), Mark Rylance (for Best Supporting Actor in a Play for Twelfth Night), James Monroe Iglehart (for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for Aladdin), Sophie Okonedo (for Best Supporting Actress in a Play for A Raisin in the Sun) and Jessie Mueller (for Best Actress in a Musical for Beautiful: The Carole King Musical).

Panty Creamer Of The Day: Matt Boner In A Tux At The Tonys

spl778044_055

If you have to suffer through the nastiest and grossest day of the week MONDAY, you might as well do it while staring pictures of the come-to-life Superman action figure Matt Bomer making b-holes howl and pussies slobber while working a tux at the Tonys last night. The real-life Steven Wakefield graduated from Carnegie Mellon and he was at the Tonys to present Carnegie Mellon with something and I didn’t really pay attention, because I was too busy asking myself, “For why is Matt Boner wearing so many clothes? Couldn’t he have paid tribute to Hair instead?!

Either Matt Boner’s makeup artist forgot to powder his beauty or in NYC it’s more humid than Tyler Perry’s bussy when he flips through the Spirit of Black Men calendar on his office wall. Because Matt Boner is looked lubed-up in the face. I bet the most overheard line at the Tonys last night was, “Matt, you’re looking a little greasy, do you want me to lick that up for you?

Here’s more of Matt Boner in a tux and pictures of other hos at the Tonys including Fran Drescher giving you Peaches ‘N Cream Barbie’s mom, Maggie Gyllenhaal looking like a disemboweled down comforter and Thalia wearing a shitting prom dress from the late 80s.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Will Be Mostly Santino Rice-Less Next Season

dragraceseason7

Since season 6 of RuPaul’s Drag Race ended, it feels like we’ve all had dozens of birthdays, the Duggars have birthed out 90 more children and we all have grey pubes. It feels like it’s been decades since Drag Race has graced our screens. To quote Old Rose in Titanic: “It’s been 84 years…” But bitch is finally come back.

On March 2nd, Drag Race will serve up more C.U.N.T. (charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent) but they’ll do it without Santino Ross there to look the queens up and down with his droopy dog eyes. Drag Race is cutting out a whole lot of Rice from their diet for season 7. Santino Rice has been replaced by Carson Kressley and Ross Matthews, the dude who holds the Guinness World Record for being called “mam” at fast food drive-thrus at least two thousand times. Carson and Ross at the same judges’ table?! If Ru wanted to put together the most hyper humans on Earth, she needs to give herself a victory pat on the taint, because she achieved her mission. RIP to my TV speakers, because Ross and Carson are going to blow those whores out. If Ross and Carson ever argue at the judges’ table, it’s going to sound like the time I was in TopShop at The Grove and some chick’s Pomeranian and Chihuahua started fighting in her purse. I’m guessing future Celebrity Big Brother UK winner Michelle Visage kept a rhinestone-encrusted taser at her side just in case she needed to tame those hyper bitches.

Santino Rice will be back as a guest judge, though. Other guests judges are: original judge Merle Ginsburg, Ariana Grande Latte, John Waters, Olivia Newton-John, Rebecca Romjin, Jessica Alba, Demi Lovato, Scary Spice, Tamar Braxon, Kathy Griffin, Isaac Mizrahi, Kat Dennings, Michael Urie, Rachael Harris, Alyssa Milano, Lucian Pine and Jordin Sparks.

They had me at Olivia. Newton. John. And I’m surprised Isaac Mizrahi found time to guest judge in between teaching astronomy classes at MIT.

ConDRAGulations! RuPaul Finally Won An Emmy!

ruemmy2016

Before we fully get into the river of depressing smegma that this news week will probably bring, let’s raise a wig and celebrate some happy news: RuPaul finally got his hands around his first Emmy after being in the TV game for eons. HalleluRu!

If award shows always got it right, Ru would’ve gotten his first Emmy in the 90s for Best And Most Glamorous Talk Show host for Vh1’s The RuPaul Show. But since award shows mostly never get it right, that didn’t happen. It only took 20 years, but the title “Emmy-winning RuPaul” is finally a fact.

The Creative Arts Emmys, which honors tech people, designers, hosts and guest actors, always happens a week before the Primetime Emmys and they went down over the weekend. Ru’s category, Outstanding Host – Reality or Reality Competition Program, was handed out last night and the Emmy bitches let him know to sashay this way after he won for RuPaul’s Drag Race. Ru beat out Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Has-Beens), Steve Harvey (Little Big Shots), Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn (Project Runway), Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night) and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol). With the way this year has been going, I wouldn’t have been surprised if evil hell goblin Ryan Seacrest won and accepted while standing on a stack of apple crates as one of his minions held the trophy for him since it’s bigger than him.

The category for Outstanding Reality Host was created in 2008. Since then, Jeff Probst of Survivor has won four times, Jane Lynch has won twice and Tom Bergeron and the team of KlumGunn have both won once.

While wearing a suit made from the skin of Mr. Blobby’s relatives, Ru brought his serious business woman briefcase purse on stage with him and mentioned that he once said in an interview that he’d rather have an enema than an Emmy. On stage he joked, “Thanks to the Television Academy, I can have both!”

After Ru got his much-much-deserved Emmy, he talked to Entertainment Tonight backstage and while fighting back the raw emotions, he gave love to the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

ConDRAGulations, Ru! I hope you celebrated with a champagne enema!

And here’s a million pictures from last night’s Creative Arts Emmys. You can see the full list of winners at Variety.

Condragulations To Freshly Married RuPaul And His Husband!

0

rumarried2017

Just when I was beginning to think that we needed some actual happy news around these dreary parts, RuPaul came through and caused cannons to burp out loads of confetti by announcing that he’s married now!

RuPaul was a guest on Hollywood Today, and hosts Ross Matthews and Ali Landry (aka the Doritos Girl from 1998), brought up his partner of 23 years, Georges LeBar. Ru mostly lives and works in L.A. and Georges The Rancher mostly lives and works in a gigantic ass ranch in Wyoming and isn’t into showbiz shit. But they make it work, and now they’re married! And they got married for a really good reason. I’ve always thought that you should only get a legal ball and chain attached to your ankle for one of two reasons: 1. If you’re a gold digger and your piece is a millionaire who doesn’t want you to sign a prenup. Or 2. TAX REASONS! This is how Ru spilled the news:

Ross: Are you going to get married?

Ru: You know, I don’t think I’ve said… I’ve never said this on television before, we are married.

Ross: When did you get married?

Ru:  We got married, actually, on our 23rd… I met him on the dance floor at Limelight in 1994 on his birthday. So we got married on his birthday, the anniversary of when we met, this year. Just in January. We’ve been looking into it for, really, tax breaks and for financial things.

Ru and Georges The Rancher will probably never share pics or videos from the ceremony, so I’ll paint the picture myself. Ru loves Taylor Dayne, so Ru’s vows were her song I’ll Always Love You and he lip-synched them. And Georges The Rancher’s vows were a monologue from Brokeback Mountain (that and Rancho Notorious are the only cowboy movies I really know, okay?). Ornacia was the Best Woman, and the officiant, Michelle Visage, ended with, “I now pronounce you husband and husband, and don’t fuck it up.”  That’s obviously how it went down.

Backdoor Farrah Looked Like An Embarrassing And Desperate Mess At The MTV Movie & TV Awards

backdoorfarrahmtvvmas2017

But in Backdoor Farrah’s defense, she’d look like an embarrassing and desperate mess even if she didn’t show up to the MTV Movie & TV Awards in a costume found in the section marked “For Trashy Attention Whores Who Want Quick Attention” at the Haus of Cultural Appropriation.

The 26th MTV Movie Awards happened again last night, for some reason, and this year, they added TV awards, because I guess they finally decided that it was wrong to only give movie actors the opportunity to win a prestigious golden dingles trophy. Since Backdoor Farrah’s melting plastic face currently terrorizes MTV on Teen Mom and every awards show needs a seat filler (and Hollywood’s premium seat filler Phoebe Price was not available), she was invited. Farrah may have dried poop noodles for brains, but when it comes desperately grasping for attention, trick knows what to do. So she showed up wearing a costume that screams: PAY ATTENTION TO ME (and yes, I’m falling for it).

At the MTV Movie & TV Awards, Too Fab asked Backdoor Farrah if she thought her “Bollywood-inspired look” would offend people, and if she wanted to keep it real, she would’ve said, “I hope so! Satan will cancel my contract with him if I don’t trend on Twitter tonight!” But instead, Farrah reached deep into her Mount Doom of a b-hole and used her hand to knock away things in her way (like that sock that got lost in your dryer, that missing Malaysia Airlines plane, etc…) before pulling out this excuse:

“[I] wanted to bring culture to the red carpet. I think this will inspire others to embrace new cultures and have good experiences.”

So Backdoor Farrah is pretty much a one fame whore It’s A Small World ride and that actually makes sense. The last time I was on It’s A Small World, some kid in our boat barfed into the water a couple of times and that’s the same reaction that Farrah’s ridiculous look brings out.

And you’re going to need some palate cleansers, so I also threw in pictures of some real stars at last night’s MTV Movie Awards like Maxine Waters, RuPaul, Taraji P. Henson and Barb from Stranger Things.

Vicky Vox Verbally Tarred-And-Feathered Katy Perry’s Reputation

Glastonbury Festival 2017

Just kidding, Witness already did that!

Page Six notes that drag queen and former DWV member Vicky Vox provided a CVS length of receipts on Tuesday night by claiming on Twitter a certain pop star was Cheap-o the Clown (oddly, that’s not the desired look pictured above!) when it came to her music video budget. According to Vicky, the singer’s team wanted a few drag queens to do a 2-day shoot fo’ free and be paid in “exposure.” But sadly, that doesn’t pay off a good ol’ gaycation.

Vicki teased her followers with just the tip for a few messages:

She wasn’t done, yet:

She came up for air before finally going all in and letting us hoes know it was Katy Perry who was claiming her Hello Kitty coin purse was empty. It probably was! You don’t know how much it probably took to pay Rebecca Black to be a STAH on the Last Friday Night video!

It’s been over a day, and the “Chow Down (At Chick-fil-A)” diva is showing no signs of slowing down. She even took a few swipes at the RuPaul’s Drag Race girls who apparently ended up doing the work for free. Katy hasn’t responded yet, but now this really has me wondering if everyone worked for free for that 50 Shades of WTF performance on SNL. Maybe the Ru girls did, but definitely not Backpack Boy. He doesn’t get out of bed for anything less than a $50 gift card to the Times Square Olive Garden.

Ariel Winter Managed To Get Two Times The Attention At The Emmys

69th Emmy Awards

Attention enthusiasts know that the Emmys are a tasteful affair; you’ve got to balance out your ass with some class. Thankfully, Ariel Winter showed everyone last night how to do it. Ariel came in a dress by Steven Khalil featuring not one, but two crotch-high leg slits. Angelina, who? I’m sure her dress was very expensive, so for those of you hoping to find the look for less, I would probably suggest Craigslist the day after the next AVN awards.

Normally Ariel’s boobs are on full-display, but she told People magazine that she wanted to show off her legs for once. Ariel doesn’t realize it’s not a tits or legs game. Why not both! Like Reese Witherspoon, who wore a satin Stella McCartney suit jacket dress. Reese is one peacock blue fedora and a glittery blue prop Tommy Gun away from playing Roxie Hart in a Long Island community theater production of Chicago.

69th Emmy Awards

Or cover them both up, like Tracee Ellis Ross in Chanel. Tracee is giving you mother of the bride at the wedding of Feather Duster to Lumiere (after getting drunk with Mrs. Potts and Cogsworth).

69th Emmy Awards

But why pick just boobs or legs when you could make every point from your neck down a focal point? Like Ajiona Alexus from 13 Reasons Why, wearing a…whatever this is, from Temraza.  It’s the perfect look for a formal figure skating disco circus picnic.

Now For The Messy Fashion Of The Critics’ Choice Awards

23rd Annual Critics' Choice Awards - Arrivals

Hollywood decided to wear black at the Golden Globes last Sunday night in silent protest of the industry’s sexual assault problem. But four days later, most Hollywood people at the Critics’ Choice Awards went with color.

Kate Bosworth didn’t wear color, but she did wear a mess. Kate is wearing a dress by Brock Collection, but if I hadn’t been told who made her dress, I’d assume she went into a formal event showroom on a particularly dry day, collected too much static electricity while trying on a bridal gown with her socks on, and accidentally left the store with a child’s christening gown that was stuck to her. The best part is that the fun didn’t end when Kate turned around.

I don’t know what look Kate’s hair stylist was going for, but they nailed it if they were trying to channel the mom of a competitive preteen cheerleader the night before regionals after watching 3 hours of YouTube hair tutorials.

The 23th Annual Critics Choice Awards Arrivals

Here’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who was present to hear Ewan McGregor’s acceptance speech this time) in a Delpozo gown. I am in love with this look, because it’s gives me flashbacks to the time a friend asked her sister to decorate for her baby shower, and the sister got bored and just threw a giant pile of multi-colored tissue paper flowers from Michael’s on a coffee table, stuck a candle in the middle, and called it a day.

23rd Annual Critics' Choice Awards at Barker Hanger

And Nicole Kidman should have been given more than a Critics’ Choice Award for her Valentino dress last night. She deserves everything for showing up in a look I want to believe was inspired by the hottest Happy Holiday Barbie, Miss 1990.

RuPaul Is Sorry For His Comments About Trans Women On “Drag Race”

0
0

There has been some major RuPaul’s Drag Race debate drama lately, and I’m not talking about whether it was a mic cord or a popped tuck that made a surprise appearance on last week’s episode (it was totally a cord). RuPaul recently did an interview with The Guardian to promote the upcoming 10th season of RPDR. Unfortunately, Ru said some things about trans women that could be classified as some of the most regrettable stuff to come out of RuPaul’s mouth since Trixie’s Snatch Game impression.

It all started after Ru was asked about “bio queens,” or biological women participating in the style typical to male drag queens. Ru said he wasn’t sure about allowing bio queens on Drag Race because women in drag as women loses its “sense of danger.” Ru was then asked if the show would accept a transgender woman as a contestant. There have been many trans-identifying participants in Drag Race (the most notably recent was Season 9’s Peppermint). Ru is ok with a contestant who identified as a kitty girl, but apparently the line gets drawn at full-blown kitty woman.

“Probably not. You can identify as a woman and say you’re transitioning, but it changes once you start changing your body. It takes on a different thing; it changes the whole concept of what we’re doing. We’ve had some girls who’ve had some injections in the face and maybe a little bit in the butt here and there, but they haven’t transitioned.”

The internet got really mad and called RuPaul out. So Ru tried to defend his stance on trans contestants:

Except that argument doesn’t really work. Ru has allowed Detox – a queen with enough silicone and fillers to create a whole new Kardashian – to participate in the Olympics of drag twice. So of course Ru’s comparison didn’t go over too well. Several past RPDR queens also spoke out against what Ru said:

Either Ru listened to the criticism and had a change of heart, or Michelle Visage reminded him that unless he wanted to start buying suits off the rack again, he might not want to piss off so many Drag Race fans. Because last night Ru tweeted an apology for his view on trans contestants.

A quick peek at the replies to RuPaul’s apology show that some people accepted it, some people’s feelings are still hurt, and some are still really pissed because it might sound like a “Sorry you were offended” type of apology. But in all of this, I’m not really surprised that Ru said something that was seen as offensive. RuPaul is an ageless glamazon, but RuPaul Charles is 57. The closer you get to 60, your increased health risks include arthritis, hearing loss, and saying things that makes the young ones cringe.

Open Post: Hosted By RuPaul Receiving A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

0

Category is: legend receiving an iconic sidewalk award during a middle of the day ceremony eleganza extravaganza! It’s a mouthful, but hey – it’s a very specific look. Yesterday RuPaul was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by the good people at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. If Ru looked at himself in the mirror and commanded “You betta work” before he stepped out onto Hollywood Boulevard, it shows. Mama Ru gave that star a proper reveal by dropping down onto the red carpet and serving poolside diva pose realness, which I believe is the absolute minimum level of drama required for such an event.

Ru was introduced by fellow legend Jane Fonda, because they’re friends, although I’d like to think Ru wanted to choose someone who also believes that reading is fundamental. And joining Ru on the red carpet was a variety of Ru’s best squirrelfriends, like his husband Georges LeBar, Ross Matthews, Candis Cayne, Todrick Hall, his three sisters and his tenth grade teacher. The only person missing was Michelle Visage. No, she didn’t miss the ceremony because she ran late trying to find press-ons that matched Ru’s suit; it’s because she’s in Ireland at the moment.

Here’s more from Ru’s Walk of Fame ceremony. A whole lot of Ru’s legendary status is from the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and I was certain there might be just a teensy bit more drama to the day. Like seeing Ru carried out on a throne made of blonde wigs by four shirtless members of the Pit Crew. I mean really, is that too much to ask?

The TIME 100 Gala Brought Out Some Influential Looks

0
0

The 2018 TIME 100 Gala was held last night in New York City to celebrate Time magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people. And whether the people were influential or not, the red carpet fashion pulled from a variety of sources. Like Leslie Jones in Christian Siriano, who is giving you Grace Jones after stopping at Studio 54 while thinking,”I wonder what the rent is on this place? Do they pay monthly or yearly? You know what, hand me my coke spoon and purse, I’m leaving to pursue a career in commercial real estate.

Adam Rippon was also there, and I’m a little disappointed he didn’t wear another harness. Instead, he wore a jeweled suit. I don’t know who made that jacket, but if you told me it was inspired by all those one-sided gem-covered Ed Hardy blazers from the mid-2000s, I would believe you, and then I would wonder why Adam didn’t go all the way with a sheer tattoo-style tiger-print shirt underneath.

I can’t find any information on Lynda Carter’s amazing satin bow jacket, so I’ll take that as a sign that it was custom made by an extremely exclusive and tasteful designer that specializes in capital-F fashion. Linda looks like the owner of a pet boutique who caters specifically to Bichon Frises that were listed as the sole heir to a will.

Last but not least, Lindsey Vonn. That has prom 2000 all over it, but I don’t think that’s what she was going for. Personally, I see more of what you might get if Gwen Stefani and Eve’s pirate ship held a spring formal.

And here’s a bunch more of the famous people who showed up. Like JLo and A-Rod, who I’m pretty sure think they’re going to the Oscars (shhh…don’t tell them).

RuPaul Is Wading Into The Daytime TV Waters

0
0

Daytime television, the Bermuda Triangle of many a celebrity career, somehow still gets into a famous person’s brain under the thought, “I’LL be the one who finally gets it right!” Everyone from dark lord Pimp Mama Kris to plain ol’ good person Meredith Vieira has tried and failed their way through daytime TV. Next up at the plate is RuPaul, as he is said to have landed a deal for a talk show pilot.

Variety says Mama Ru is filming a pilot for Telepictures, which is the same company that does Ellen DeGeneres’ show. Admittedly, they also did Bethenny Frankel’s, so tread lightly, gurl! Producers are planning to launch Ru’s show in the fall of 2019 and is expected to be filmed in front of a live studio audience that I really hope is just a bunch of drag queens instead of the “Santa is white” crowd drawn to Megyn Kelly’s show. Ru is said to be skipping cooking segments and will instead zero in on celebrity interviews, pop culture, and beauty and glam tips because everyone’s mother should return to Montana after a trip to New York looking like Sharon Needles or else that trip didn’t mean jack shit!

Michelle Visage will also have a big part in the show, which has a lot of people fapping about how this is going to be the great big return of The RuPaul Show. Lawd, if that duo can somehow convince Diana Ross into appearing on this new version like they did the old (see: below), then sign me up. However, I imagine will be along the lines of Michelle barking at someone’s Aunt Bernice after a makeover that she won’t be able to take home her bedazzled Kohl’s blazer unless she can perfectly nail a lip-synch to “Peanut Butter.” Actually, that kind of makeover sounds like it will blow Kathie Lee Gifford’s alcohol hour out of the water!

Pearl From “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Accuses RuPaul Of Breaking Her Spirit

0
0

That loud squeal you just heard was either the sound of a spare chair being pulled over to Willam, Phi Phi O’Hara, and The Vixen’s table in drag queen detention, or that one friend who lives for RuPaul’s Drag Race drama. Season 7 co-runner-up Pearl recently spoke about her time on the show, and she’s painted RuPaul as more of a drag than a queen.

While on the web talk show  Hey Qween, Pearl talked about her flazéda/not-really-into-it attitude on Drag Race including her famous silent stare-down with Ru, which ended with her asking in a deadpanned voice: “Is there something on my face?” Well, today her face is covered in tea stains after she spat a mouthful all over the place. There’s a reason why that interaction was so uncomfortable, and it’s because Pearl wasn’t much of a fan of Ru by that point.

Pearl confessed that during a break in filming one of the episodes, she poured her heart out to RuPaul, saying it was an honor to be on the show, that it was a pleasure to meet Ru. Unfortunately, Pearl didn’t get the special moment with Mama Ru that she was expecting. Pearl says:

“[RuPaul] turned to me and said, ‘Nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling.’

That broke my spirit, and that is the reason why I had one foot in, one foot out the entire time I was on that show. Maybe that was me being petty, maybe that was me thinking it should’ve been something I never should’ve expected it to be, but in that moment it was so heartbreaking because I idolized her, I worshipped her, and I felt like it was so disrespectful…so Hollywood, rotted, and gross. How could you say that to someone who’s just, like, obsessed with you?”

To be fair, if Pearl was a fan of she show before she became a contestant, she would have already known (to quote the ever-quotable Lashauwn Beyond) that this is not RuPaul’s Best Friend Race. But I think I understand where Ru was coming from. You can’t get those sweet Emmy nominations without cheesy, heartstring-tugging moments. I’m sure Ru could try, but I don’t think the Emmy committee will recognize whole seasons of contestants asking the crew what’s for lunch and when they can get more tuck tape.

Pearl Says That She’s Been Blacklisted From “RuPaul’s Drag Race”

0

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7 runner-up Pearl actually DOES have something on her face now. It’s on her forehead because it’s been stamped RETURN TO SENDER after she recently went on YouTube show Hey Qween and related a story about Ru allegedly giving her the cold shoulder behind the scenes and breaking her spirit. Well, word travels fast and Pearl has learned that you don’t speak on Mama Ru until you’ve received every check you can in relation to your Drag Race association. An out-of-drag Pearl has posted a vid claiming that she’s been blacklisted from all things RPDR.

In the video below, Pearl claims that she hadn’t gone on the show intending to tell the story that she did. But she finally decided to talk about the moment that she’d “been holding in for a really long time.” She also claims that she never expected all of this controversy to erupt over her revelation. (It should be noted that this is Drag Race controversy and restricted to a very specific portion of the population. So don’t give me a side-eye for using “controversy.” Bitches get heated over this show. Some of my friends still aren’t speaking over differing opinions about BenDeLaCreme mailing herself home.)

And then Pearl served us the tea with nary a hint of honey.

“If you wanna know the real T, I had a producer from RuPaul’s Drag Race call me after the interview aired and guaranteed me that I would never come back and do All Stars. Now, I was never dumb enough to think I would be invited back for All Stars, and I was definitely not gunning for it at all, but to openly punish me for being honest about a situation that happened with me after four years of silence is disgusting and shameful. This narrative about how we, Drag Race contestants, owe our lives to RuPaul’s Drag Race, that needs to completely change. I’m very sorry to inform you, but I’m finally at the place in my life where I am confident enough to know that I would have been somebody with or without Drag Race.”

However, Pearl also says don’t blame RuPaul because Ru is basically Mt. Rushmore. She’s eternal, she’s not going anywhere, and her face is smooth like granite with or without Season 1 vaseline on the lens.

“RuPaul is not gonna change,” she says. “She’s the kind of person who doesn’t really seem to have anything to gain, lose, or learn in this world. She’s kind of this wealth of knowledge and this beacon of hope. So, it’s not like RuPaul is going to call me, apologizing. I mean, honestly if you think something, anything remotely close to that is going to happen, it absolutely will not happen.”

Pearl also says that she did this video to help out future contestants. Another way that queens who have already competed could help out future contestants is to warn them against using live animals as accessories. Because live animals DIE when you coop them up inside a bracelet without poking air holes in it first.

RuPaul Won His Third Consecutive Emmy

Jeff Probst should be nervously sweating into his Survivor bandana today, for RuPaul is now just one award away from tying his record as the winner of the most Emmys for Outstanding Host of a Reality or Reality Competition Program. Condragulations, Ru! Jeff, enjoy what’s left of your moment; everyone knows it’s way more difficult to wrangle the emotions of a drag queen hell-bent on doing Beyoncé for Snatch Game than those of people eating flies on an island.

Ru won his third consecutive Emmy award for hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race at the Creative Arts Emmys last night. “I guess it really does matter to wait until the cameras are rolling” thought a bitter Pearl. Ru went to collect his award in another gorgeous pink sit and led the audience in a call-and-response chant of “Everybody say love!

Drag Race won four of the twelve awards they were nominated for yesterday: Outstanding Host, Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Costumes for a Reality Program, and Outstanding Hairstyling for a Multi-Camera Series or Special. That last one went to Hector Pocasangre and Miss Delta Work, who can now say she’s one-half of one of the most legendary lip syncs for your life and an Emmy winner. There’s still one award pending: Outstanding Reality Show Program, but that winner won’t be announced until the Primetime Emmys next week.

Back in the press room, Ru posed with his third Emmy, telling reporters: “36-24-36 – and yes, they are real!“.

Ru also gave a master class in positive thinking backstage when asked if the optimistic mood of the show effects today’s bummer of a political climate.

“The divisiveness is new to you, to the white folks. But for outsiders, for us, the gay, black – we have survived and thrived in this kind of atmosphere all of our lives. At Drag Race we’ve always done what we do, and we will continue to do what we do. It’s really about looking at life as a big choice and you can see the glass as half-full, or half-empty – one choice is correct and the other choice will be painful. I choose joy – that’s why our show is so successful.”

I can appreciate joy and positive vibes, but I also hope Ru doesn’t ever overdose on it. I’d hate to see a reading challenge in which everyone exits the library and just compliments each other’s padding. Click here to see all the Creative Arts Emmy winners.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Made HERstory At The Emmys Last Night

0
0

The Emmys introduced the category of Outstanding Reality-Competition Series back in 2003 and since then literally three shows have ever won it: The Amazing Race won 10 times, The Voice won four times and Top Chef won once. Well girl, that all changed last night. When they announced: “Category Is: Outstanding Reality-Competition Series”, Mama RuPaul stood up, Vogued for a little bit, and then sashayed over to that stage to claim her crown, honey!

RuPaul’s Drag Race, took home the win, beating out all those old winners as well as the equally homosexual television series Project Runway and American Ninja Warrior (all those shirtless American “Ninjas” running around and climbing shit? GAY). Mama Ru puts in werq, honey, and also took home the award for Outstanding Host at the Creative Arts Emmys last week, which he’s won for the last three years in a row. It was a HERstoric win since no reality show has ever won Outstanding Host and Outstanding Reality-Competition Series in the same year.

RuPaul (who was not in full drag regalia, probably because the heterosexual lighting-team of The Emmys wasn’t trustworthy enough to catch her best angles) had this to say during his acceptance speech:

“Thank you to the Academy. This is so lovely. We are so happy to present this show. I would like to thank, on behalf of the 140 drag queens we have released into the wild, I’d love to thank Dick Richards for introducing me to Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey…. All of the dreamers out there, listen… If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen up in here? Now let the music play!”

Sadly, RuPaul did not then pull off Michelle Visage‘s wig while on stage to reveal another, longer wig underneath. But there’s always next year. Check out Ru’s acceptance speech here:

Here Are Some Of The Looks From The “A Star Is Born” Premiere

The official premiere for A Star Is Born, which has had what feels like THE LONGEST rollout in all of movie history, happened last night at The Shrine Auditorium in LA. There were a lot of randos on the red carpet, but it turns out there were a lot of randos in the movie. We all know that it stars Lady Gaga as Ally The Ingénue and Bradley Cooper as Jackson Maine The Leather Satchel. But you might be surprised to learn that the cast also includes Andrew Dice Clay as Lorenzo The Geriatric DJ (judging from his outfit last night) and Willam Belli as Emerald The Real Star, Henny.

Behold, Willam!

Lady Gaga come through with a glamorous and very expensive looking silver gown.

Lea Michele was also there. Lea also wore a silver gown. Lea did not get the part, but that didn’t stop her from trying to live out her ASIB fantasies – on a budget.

Lady Gaga may have looked elegant, and Lea may have looked elegant lite, but neither of them could hold a candle to this trio. I present, with comment to follow, Gigi Gorgeous, Nats Getty and August Getty. Yes, those Gettys.

The lips in the middle belong to Gigi, she’s a model and muse to the gentleman on her left in the International Male mesh shirt. He’s August Getty, a fashion designer. On Gigi’s right who looks like what would happen if Riff Raff (aka Jody Highroller) had a too long layover in Nashville and spent his last dime on Nudie suits is Nats, August’s sister and Gigi’s fiancé.

Nats and August are Balthazar Getty’s cousins. Their mom was John Paul Getty III’s sister, the one that got kidnapped in All The Money In The World. You follow? I hope this picture of the sophistication that comes with multiple generations of wealth, makes up for any confusion you may have suffered.

Another family trio on the red carpet was lead by the legendary mustache and arched eyebrows of Sam Elliott. Here’s Sam looking dapper as all get out, with his wife Katherine Ross, and their daughter Clio Rose Elliott.

You can see more pictures from the ASIB premiere in the gallery below.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” is Expanding To Jolly Olde England

It looks like THE QUEEN is about to get a little crowded on her throne. RuPaul and her queens have saved many gay bars in the U.S. with RuPaul’s Drag Race watch parties, and they’re now going to do it on the other side of the pond. Ru announced today she’s feeding international desire and expanding her own empire with a U.K. version of Drag Race – and it sounds like there was a bidding war over what channel got to air it.

The Sun says that an eight-part Drag Race series will air on BBC3 sometime next year. Similar to how it all goes down in the colonies, er, U.S., the U.K. version will include celebrities on the panel, which shouldn’t be hard to fill. Talk show host Jonathan Ross and Sherlock actor Andrew Scott are fans, but why not hold out for the actual QE2 to judge? If any tough broad knows how to rock rhinestones and over-the-top baubles, it’s her! Ru said she’ll even be holding a berth open for Duchess Meghan:

“I am beyond excited to celebrate the massive charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the Queen’s queens. And before anyone asks, yes, we would be thrilled to have Meghan Markle join us, as we are already preparing a ‘Royal-Mother-To-Be’ runway challenge.”

That’s a smart way for Ru to get other royals in on the fun. Keep saying how much you want Meghan on the show, and I’m sure Duchess Kate will offer her own services with a sly, “Don’t you want someone with actual odds of making it to the throne?” It’s unclear who will be a part of the regular judging panel, but Michelle Visage seems to have made the cut:

A mysterious “tv source” told the Sun that a ton of British channels wanted the rights to air the show, so it’s a huge get for the BBC. It also sounds like they won’t be sparing any expense on making a debut in the mother country:

“It will be filmed in London and casting directors will be searching for the best drag artists Britain has to offer – there’ll be a huge budget for costumes and production and bosses are hoping that a star is born. It’s really exciting for everyone involved and is expected to draw a lot of new fans to the franchise.RuPaul has a cult following so it’s massive news.”

Just think of all the challenge possibilities! The Twiggy challenge! The S Club 7 challenge! The “Make Victoria Beckham crack a smile with your drag” challenge! Yeah, that’s definitely season finale material.
