Host of reality TV hit RuPaul’s Drag Race and his own eponymous talk show, RuPaul Charles is looking to sashay away from his three-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills. Located high above the Sunset Strip, RuPaul’s LA home is every bit as fabulous as its owner, who’s asking $4.999 million. Because if you can’t love this house, how in the hell are you gonna love any other house?
