    AceShowbiz – RuPaul broke records when he scooped the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program for the fifth year in a row at the 2020 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday (19Sep20).
    The 59-year-old “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host took home the prize during the virtual ceremony, breaking the record for the most victories in the category’s 13-year history.
    In his acceptance speech, the drag performer urged fans to get out and vote in the upcoming election, insisting, “Tonight the only political statement I want to make is this: love.”
    “Love for our LGBT brother and sisters, love for Black queens and brown queens and love for the United States of America. The time has come for you to vote for your lives.”

    RuPaul ended his acceptance speech while dedicating the award to Chi Chi DeVayne – the season eight contestant who sadly died last month (Aug20) following a battle with pneumonia.
    “I’d like to dedicate this Emmy to one of my girls, Chi Chi DeVayne,” RuPaul said. “May you rest in power and perfection.”
    RuPaul beat out fellow nominees Nicole Byer for “Nailed It!”, Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman for “Making It”, the cast of “Shark Tank”, and the cast of “Queer Eye” for the prize.
    “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has won additional accolades at the Television Academy awards for outstanding casting, editing, contemporary hairstyling and make-up.
    The finale of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday was a night of firsts as Eddie Murphy, Ron Cephas Jones, and Michael Jordan took home their first trophies each. Murphy was feted for his hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live”, Jordan for his sports docuseries “The Last Dance”, and Jones for “This Is Us”.

      RuPaul Takes Shots at Jimmy Fallon on New Song 'I'm That B***h' for Calling Him Drag Queen

      by

      His diss is a reference to his viral ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ appearance on which he playfully corrected Jimmy for calling him the first drag queen to grace Vanity Fair’s cover.
      Feb 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – RuPaul is apparently not done messing up with Jimmy Fallon over the latter’s near-fatal blunder. Weeks after his playful correction at “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” host’s “Drag Queen” reference became viral, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host released a new song titled “I’m That B***h” that took a shot at the comedian again.
      A 1-minute preview of the diss track, which was obtained by Entertainment Weekly, hears RuPaul rapping about Fallon’s unintentional offensive remarks. “Had to almost cancel Jimmy, put him in a bodybag. He called me a drag queen? B***h, I’m the queen of drag!” the Emmy Awards winner spits. “In case you forgot, let me remind you that I, I, I’m that b***h!”
      “I’m that B***h” was written by the 59-year-old TV personality along with music collaborator Leland, Freddy Scott and Tom Campbell. It will be made available for streaming and download on Friday, February 28 after the Season 12 premiere of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. A cast-assisted version of this song will also debut on the premiere night.

      RuPaul and Fallon made headlines earlier this February when he stopped by for an interview aired on February 6. At one point of their chat, Fallon brought up the topic of RuPaul being the first “Drag Queen” to land on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. To Fallon’s surprise, RuPaul snapped at his reference, exclaiming in return, “A drag queen? A drag queen? I am the queen of drag!”

      The awkward moment has since gone viral with Fallon weighing on his slip up less than a week later. “I really thought it was over,” he confessed on his late night talk show. ” ‘That’s it. I’m canceled, I have to start up my own #JimmyFallonIsOverParty.’ I had a good run, you know, 10 years in the business… I was like ‘wait what did I do wrong?!’ ” He added, “My thanks to RuPaul, we love you. That was a very funny moment.”
