The Search For America's Next Tranny

And yet another reality show in the works.

But…..this is probably something we'd watch!

Logo just announced a new competition reality show titled RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The series will consist of six, one hour episodes and is expected to air early next year.

One lucky contestant will be able to compete for a spot on the series by signing up to the show's site, RuPaulsDragRace.com, with online votes determining the winner.

RuPaul will not only be the host, but will also be the contestants' mentor along with judge.

RuPaul = Tyra Banks???

Each contestant will be allowed to bring one stylist (or friend) with them to the competition to help them with their challenges.

No fair!

Contestants will compete for the title of top drag queen.

RuPaul jokes, “Tell Tyra that the Queen has returned, and while you’re at it have Heidi clear the runway. I’m going to pump some ‘realness’ into reality. To be a winner on this show the contestants need to be a fashion designer, an American Idol, and a top model all rolled up into one. And they definitely have to be smarter than a fifth grader.”

Nice job plugging all the major shows.

Will U watch the show?

You know there's going to be some major Divas fighting to be the center of attention.

Perez needs to make a cameo!

pdonster2 says – reply to this

54

Sickening. Just what America needs to perpetuate stereotypes and make being gay a national joke. Hello…there ARE gay guys out here that are masculine and wouldn't put on a dress for a million bucks. How come you never see those on tv?
kelsita says – reply to this

55

i would definitely watch it. eddie izzard better show up at some point. it would be way more entertaining to watch MTF trannies than ftm trannies, that's for damn sure.

his parents must be so proud of their boy. with his height he should have went the sports route but since he's a homo, well, ya know. another show glorifying fags is all we need.

LAWSUIT!! that is not RuPaul's idea. Nor does she have permission to use it!!!
Helen Heels says – reply to this

Don't compare him to Tyra. He looks good, dresses beautifully, and isn't fat.

Disgusting. This type of abnormal sickness needs to be treated and not continually glorified. What the hell is wrong with you homo sympathizers. These people need help - not tv shows celebrating their sickening choices.

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
