RuPaul to pose in Playboy

RuPaul has a new album, "Untucked" so what's a natural woman to do to let people know?

If next-door Deborah Gibson can do it, so the thinking goes, than so can RuPaul (bio).

RuPaul, best known as a dark drag queen beauty, said on her blog that she got the inspiration "from that cute 'lil Debbie Gibson."

"I should have done this years ago, when Playboy still had staples," RuPaul said. "But they didn't want RuPaul then. I'm comfortable with my body — though I'm not sure anybody else will be."

One of the poses is said to be in diapers, a sly take on her MTV Awards exchange with Milton Berle.

Rumors that Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott would share the chaise lounge are unfounded, according to RuPaul, who has collaborated on a number of songs with Missy.

Contacted at home, Elliott said she wouldn't be seen "dead or alive" in Playboy, which she described as "a passel of cow stomachs."
