Happy birthday! RuPaul turns 65 today

RuPaul is celebrating his 65th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.

Popular television host-singer-actor RuPaul (RuPaul's Drag Race, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

RuPaul, a cultural icon

Born RuPaul Andre Charles in San Diego on November 17, 1960, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. RuPaul's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little RuPaul hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for RuPaul as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 65.

Happy Birthday, RuPaul, you're the best!
