How RuPaul REALLY reacted to shock death of The Vivienne... and why the tragedy could spell the end of Drag Race, reveals GRANT TUCKER

TV chiefs hoped to make The Vivienne the next Lily Savage, the alter ego of the late Paul O’Grady, due to both stars’ quick wit and Liverpudlian roots. The star’s death, along with uncertainty about the show’s future, could cast a shadow over RuPaul’s annual drag convention, which thousands are expected to attend this weekend. I am told that RuPaul will be travelling 5,000 miles from his Beverly Hills mansion to London to attend the event at the Excel centre with his co-host and best friend of 35 years, Michelle Visage, at his side.
