I have a mega-crazy celebrity-crush on RuPaul. She is my personal version of Oprah. If Ru started a book club, I’d read anything on her list. If she started a magazine, I’d be a lifetime subscriber. If she created a smash-hit reality TV show — oh WAIT! She did. And it’s fierce.

You may know the glamorous RuPaul from her daytime talk show on VH1, which premiered back in 1996. But did you know that she’s also a prolific songstress, with NINE albums under her rhinstone-encrusted belt? Or that she’s had the distinction of interviewing such legendary entertainment icons as Mary Tyler Moore, Diana Ross and Chaka Khan? Or that she’s authored two books — a tell-all autobiography titled Lettin’ It All Hang Out and a lifestyle guide called Workin’ It? Heavens to Betsy! This diva means business. And I LOVE it.

By the power vested in me by the All-Mighty Internet, I officially declare March 22nd to be RUPAUL APPRECIATION DAY!

Take a moment of silence to honor RuPaul Andre Charles — Supermodel of the World — on this most auspicious of days. Actually, who am I kidding? Take a moment of DISCO! And while you’re at it, watch this blast from the past: Elton John + Ru singing “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” back in 1995. Cutest. Duet. Ever. Conceived.

I also have a giant crush on RuPaul…and a number of this season’s contestants.
RuPaul was amazing in the Brady Bunch movie as Jan’s guidance counselor. “Come back when you’re pregnant. And grrrrl… you better work”
KATY: I have a mad crush on Pandora Boxx. But you already knew that. I hope she wins! Ooooh how I hope it!
ANNIKA: Dude. I’d totally forgotten about that cinematic gem. To the Netflixery!
