  • Michelle Visage – The Gays Chose It, Visage Talks To RuPaul

    RuPaul picks up Michelle Visage in this episode of RuPaul Drives…

    Old friends RuPaul and Michelle Visage take to the road in this episode of RuPaul Drives. The two friends talk about parenting, adoption and the origins of Michelle’s name in this 7-minute video.

    In the video Ru asks Michelle, what would she say to an 18-year-old Michelle she answers “Focus”, “I’m a closer not a finisher.”

    “I would also say stop worrying so much, what people think about you, I know that I’m chubby and older, but I’m okay… I’m happy with who I am.”

    Talking about her real name (which is Michelle Lynn Shupack), she mentions about her introduction to the gay scene saying, “When I first moved to New York I got involved with the gay scene immediately, I went to the American Musical Dramatic Academy. If I wasn’t at school I was at clubs… and growing up in the 80s, teen clubs were very very big in the suburbs.”

    In the story, Michelle admits that her mother actually supplied her with a fake ID so that she could go to the clubs in New York. During that time, whilst hanging out with the gays, the name Visage happened because people were calling her “Gara, Gara”, which meant face in Spanish. Michelle studied French at school and came up with the name Visage, which means Face in French.

  • Michelle Visage Set For Celebrity Big Brother?

    Camp RuPaul Drag Race judge, Michelle Visage has been rumoured to be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house in tonight’s launch show.

    Known for her role in RuPaul’s Drag Race, Michelle Visage is also a columnist for a gay magazine here in the UK, and is widely seen as a gay man’s best friend – and she’ll be in good company if other rumoured contestants turn out to be true. Gay singer Kavana has been rumoured as well as Perez Hilton and Marcus Collins.

    The Sun has reported that Channel 5 execs think Marcus could have some good ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ goss, as his boyfriend of four years Robin Windsor was a ‘Strictly’ pro. They might also be looking to finding out goss about the ITV flagship show X FACTOR.

    “Marcus would be a great signing if ‘CBB’ can make it happen,” an insider tells the paper.

    “He knows all about what really goes on when you appear on ‘The X Factor’ and also dates Robin, who is a big name in ‘Strictly’ circles.”

    Channel 5’s reality show is to start tonight at 9PM. The last series was a huge success for the broadcaster after controversial contestant Evander Holyfield made homophobic comments, which saw the show becoming one of the most talked about TV events of early 2014.
