NOT impressive.

Check out RuPaul's underwhelming performance of Supermodel (above) from Sydney Mardi Gras on Saturday.

Pret-ty disappointing, especially since Ru was reportedly acting seriously DIVA the entire night at the event!

Here's what a source had to say about her divatastic behavior:

"Who knows why, but right before she was due to take to the stage she refused to go on with the dancers and said she wanted to perform solo."

"The dancers were really shocked. They had been preparing all day. They ended up going out and performing the number anyway once RuPaul finished. They couldn’t just waste having 40 dancers dressed, rehearsed and ready to go."

And more from the source:

"There were other restrictions too. Like the dancers – when they were going to appear with her – weren’t allowed in a certain box that had been taped on the stage around [RuPaul]."

We REALLY hope Ru was just having a bad night. It'd be a serious shame if this became a new trend…

What do U think? Did U like RuPaul's performance? Do U think she was acting divalicious at this event???

First of all, this is a really hard song to preform live because of the way the vocals are edited. On top of that, this is a dance mix of the song that's even worse for live performances. I think it would have been better with dancers, but she was probably just worried that they weren't prepared or something. I mean 40 dancers? It sounds like she needed a box so they didn't run into her, that stage doesn't look accommodating for 41 people.

Lets see, I wonder if this post has anything to do with the fact that RuPaul Drag Race doesn't advertise on this site. Hmm, you think. Naw, Perez is just so full love and puppies and unicorns, he would never post anything negative about a gay person with a Drag queen show on a gay cable channel that isn't advertising on his blog.

I don't even know if Ru is even talented anymore. I loved Ru back in the early 90's. The first black drag queen to get her face on american tv. Now, she doesn't dance and she has a whole team that makes her look good. I just don't even consider her a real drag queen anymore since she no longer has to make an effort. She is just a celebrity to me.

Why would RuPaul or anybody else for that matter want to share the stage with 40 dancers that aren't even in their act???
RuPaul looks fabulous and she made the right decision.
When you go to see Ru, you don't want a bus load of amateur dancers distracting you from her performance.

Ru Paul is known as a diva, but even as an experienced show performer. If he didn't feel the need to have all those dancers on stage, maybe he was having some doubts on security and safety around him and these guys. These celebrations get crowdy and rowdy, with people pushing and falling and getting hurt. So I'm not surprised. You say she acted like a diva, I say he was careful.

Report: Kanye West's Closest Confidants 'Are All Worried About His Current Mental Health'

Should we be concerned about Kanye West??

According to a recent report, there is worry surrounding Yeezus' mental stability, as he allegedly had a troubling outburst at a music studio. Oh no.

A source informed The Blast that, during a recent studio session, Kim Kardashian's husband ranted at the entire room about his career. Apparently, he told his team that he didn't need people with "titles" surrounding him and that he will "do it all [him]self" when it comes to branding his image.

It's said that he was adamant that all Yeezy business would be "handled in-house" -- AKA Kanye would oversee everything. Then, the father of three wrapped up his declaration with:
