"I'd like to dedicate this Emmy to one of the girls, Chi Chi Devayne," RuPaul said, ''May you rest in power and perfection." Chi Chi, who was season 8 queen, died last month at age of 34. 

By talking further, he urged fans to get out and vote in the upcoming election. ''Tonight the only political statement I want to make is this: love, '' RuPaul said.
