Willam Stars In Hilarious New Chick-fil-A ‘Commercial’

http://www.newnownext.com/willam-stars-in-hilarious-new-chick-fil-a-commercial/03/2012/

In this new, destined-to-go-viral video by current RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Willam Belli, Willam, Detox, and Vicky Vox address one of the fundamental dilemmas of our era: Chick-fil-A is so delicious, but it’s owned by right-wing Bible-thumping bigots. What to do?
In a music video parody of Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On,” Willam, Detox and Vicky play their roles perfectly (just check out Willam’s Chynna Phillips head-shaking impression at 1:47) to get across the message: “Chow down at Chick-fil-A (Even if you’re gay).”

The lyrics (“Please don’t sue us for libel/We just want meat without your Bible”) are hilarious. Good work, Willam!:

I don't think it was for running offstage and puking in the wings.

that seemed to fit with his weird actions that show and with his getting sick. But I would love to know too.

Edit: Rumors online say drugs, female hormones, or breaking confidentiality. Supposedly, they will say on the untucked reunion.

This entire season she has been active on Facebook and there are also rumors that support this too.

Edit: Willam is the next Rupaul, she's going to move forward like no other. Publicity wise, it was probably better for her to leave at this time and manner.

Offhand, I'd say you're correct, if only because she's already done the crossover into straight TV.

(yes, I see what I did there)

It's really a shame. The show stealer this season has been Latrice Royale.

and it's high time somebody besides a glamor girl wins it.

I've watched Sharon Needles on You Tube for a while, ever since she appeared on Operation Runway. I'd never seen Latrice Royale before now and I love her to pieces, big pieces.

He took us to the one in Atlanta, with a politically incorrect name of "Dwarf House" or something like that. It was a very retro place with a kind of fifties decor and very (and I mean VERY) polite staff, who were nice and didn't give us any garbage for our northern-ness or ethnicities (we were working very hard to not have chips on our shoulders, being forewarned and all, and we were fine). The food was great, they had a ton of delicious "sides" like okra and mac/cheese and all sorts of really tasty chicken. We all piled into a booth and ate like pigs. It was good. Probably not so good for the arteries, but I can't fault the taste.

He said pretty much the same thing--we weren't all that familiar with the place, he told us about the fundie factor. I had an awareness of it (slight, because I don't live near one of those fast food places) from hearing a thing about it on NPR awhile back but nothing had clicked to that point.

He said he eats there once a week, because he likes the chicken. I will have to send him that link (if he hasn't seen it already)!
