Brace yourselves!!!
RuPaul is coming back to TV airwaves next year.
The 6'7' inch gender bending pop icon will front 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' on MTV Networks' Logo, which targets lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender viewers.
The former TV home of Patrik Ian Polk's masterful black gay drama series, 'Noah's Arc,' has reportedly green-lit the reality competition, where contestants compete to become "America's Next Superstar Dragqueen."
The hour-long, six-episode series is expected to debut on Logo's digital cable channel early next year.
RuPaul (real name: Rupaul Andre Charles) will serve as host, mentor and judge.
Move over Tyra Banks. A new brew of broads -- with hair, heels, duct tape and attitude -- are set to burn up the boob tube.
Online votes are already heating up at www.RuPaulsDragRace.com.
This won't be RuPauls' first foray into television -- nor MTV territory; way before Ellen DeGeneress and Rosie O'Donnell came out of the closet, RuPaul was the first openly gay talk show host with the VH1 gabfest 'The RuPaul Show' in 1996.
Before that, after many false starts, he hit the heights of pop music superstardom with the chart-catapulting single, 'Supermodel (You Better Work),' from the major label debut opus 'Supermodel of the World' -- released via Tommy Boy Records in 1993.



1. I guess it will only be for white folks, since has made it a point in recent years to disparge blacks, gay, straight or otherwise. And, the fact that he has embraced and told blacks to get over bieng outraged at the obese, white gay drag queen who uses black paint smeared on his face and has a stage act that says he is 17 kids by 17 fathers and all with names of sexually transmitted diseases, sorry Rupaul is not news, other than bad and insulting to all blacks.
