Who’s that lady? Steven Tyler

POSTED: Friday, February 1, 2013, 12:57 PM
Look who's got the golden ticket.

And so ends the audition portion of the American Idol season with a  beyond-strange hour from Oklahoma City.

The capper came when this buxom blonde walked in to strut her stuff for Keith, Mariah, Nicki and Randy.

Does she look familiar? She identifies herself as Pepper LaBeija, the drag queen from the documentary Paris Is Burning.

But then off comes the wig, and it’s Steven Tyler … and dude still looks like a lady. Maybe even more so.

On to Hollywood.

    I always knew he looked more female than male. This is great. He should dress as a woman all the time.

    He looks prettier than the two women there. Minaj looked jealous.

    How could you not use "Dude Looks Like a Lady"? as the headline?
