RuPaul Plans Comeback

RuPaul is ready to let them have it. The drag icon will continue to spread a message of love and tolerance on her much-anticipated comeback album "Red, Hot." The record will hit stores on June 22.

A press releases describes the album as "a collection of new dance songs that are guaranteed to set the dancefloor ablaze and ignite passion in the soul."

The artist explains in a written statement that this is a good time to return to the music scene. "I felt compelled to make this CD because of what's happening socially and politically in the world right now," the entertainer says.

"My presence has been missing from the cultural landscape for too long, and I'm ready to shake things up a bit. My first order of business is to release an album that heralds the power of truth, beauty, freedom and love. If you can dance, you can start a evolution."

She continues, "Shortly after the unveiling of my wax portrait at Madame Tussaud in Times Square, I chose to devote the lion's share of my time to my personal growth and to my family. I reconnected with the part of me that I had left behind. Now, four years later I'm recharged, looking good and feeling gorgeous."
