RuPaul On Drag Race Comparisons To Tyra’s Top Model: ‘I Let Her Borrow All My Used Wigs! That’s It!’

Posted on January 10, 2009 with 1 Comment

RuPaul shut down any comparison critics may have had about his new reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race and  Tyra Banks’ reality series America’s Next Top Model during a recent press tour in Los Angeles.

When asked if he owed anything to Tyra the cross-dressing diva blurted out to a crowd of reporters, “She learned everything from me darling! Don’t give me no Tyra … ! That’s it! I let her borrow all my used wigs. That’s it!”

“This was a show that had to be made, darling! Egg? Chicken? It’s here, eat it up! Egg? Chicken? Chicken, egg? What came first? I don’t care! Give me my breakfast!”

And if you still think RuPaul’s reality show about drag queens competing to win the title of America’s next “Drag Queen Superstar,” reminds you in even the slightest way of a bunch of models vying for the title of “America’s Next Top Model”, “then you’re retarded,” RuPaul says.

RuPaul’s Drag Race debuts Feb. 2 on the LOGO channel.

Rupaul Poses As The Obamas To Promote New Show Drag Race

Posted on December 17, 2008 with No Comments

What better way to promote a reality show about competing drag queens than by dressing up as two of the newest icons of politics and pop culture?

Posing as both Michelle and Barack “RuPaul celebrates the holidays and the history-making Obamas in a commemorative holiday card of presidential proportions,” to promote his new Logo show RuPaul Drag Race.

Taking a page from Tyra Banks’ reality book, who by the way also posed as Michelle Obama for Harper’s Bazaar, Drag Race will have queens from all over the U.S. competing to be crowned the next “Drag Queen Superstar.”

RuPaul will play the role of two different judges: a Tim Gunn-esque supportive nice guy and a nasty Nina Garcia-like glam girl. Beat that Tyra!
