RuPaul knows that to reclaim fame, some desperate measures need to be taken. Like starring in a steamy sex tape. Or joining the reality show circus.
Sure, there have been offers up the wazoo. Nothing particularly dazzling to the do-it-all drag queen, who skyrocketed with “Supermodel (You Better Work),” then went on to tackle just about every medium aside from creating the next Mona Lisa. Now, though, media coverage is as miniscule as one of Ru’s skirts.
She’s not disgruntled about her waning star status. Not at all. The sincere, mostly-monotone performer knows that once an audience eats a celeb up, it can just as easily spit her out. Just ask Mariah Carey.
