RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’ Cast in ‘The B*tch Who Stole Christmas’: Everything We Know About the Movie
RuPaul’s Drag Race is an empire so successful that it’s expanded in places such as Canada, Italy, and the U.K. Once a dancer on the club scene, RuPaul parlayed his career in entertainment. He entered the music business, dropped an album, and became a star thanks to “Supermodel.” He’s since appeared in multiple TV series, released more music, and of course, grown Drag Race to epic proportions. And now, RuPaul is launching a film on VH1.
The network is offering a slate of holiday programming, and among its upcoming specials is a Christmas adventure with RuPaul’s fabulous drag queens.
