Why RuPaul's Drag Race Is the Best Reality Show on TV Right Now

By Alex Navarro, Apr 23, 2012

Over the course of the last four seasons, Drag Race has consistently been the most wildly hilarious, melodramatic, and outright entertaining piece of reality TV anywhere on cable, network, or whatever else. And that more people don't watch it is a terrible shame. read more

- RuPaul: If you don't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?

- RuPaul: I was having breakfast in the Presidential Suite of the Century Plaza Hotel courtesy of the "John & Leeza Show" when the phone rang and it was my manager. He told me that Elton John wanted to include me on his upcoming "Duets" album and was I interested? I said, "Hold on one minute." The size of the suite gave me the opportunity to flail my arms around while running back and forth screaming "Oh my God Elton John! Oh my God, Elton John!" I must have screamed for a good five minutes before I got back on the line and answered nonchalantly, Sure.

- RuPaul: Doing what I do for a living has never been easy. I've had to fight countless battles in this game that the public has no idea ever happened. But, I just pick myself up and carry on, I Carry On.
