The Queen Might Lose Her Castle

Aretha Franklin could lose her home to tax collectors. The singer says an attorney’s mistake caused her $700,000 mansion in Detroit to slip into foreclosure over $445 in 2005 taxes and late fees.

The Detroit Free Press reports Thursday the Queen of Soul owes a total of $19,192 in back taxes on the property through 2007. She says she plans to pay up and reclaim it by a March 31 deadline.

A spokesman for the Wayne County Treasurer’s office says the foreclosure judgment for $445 was entered earlier this month.

Records show Franklin owes $18,746 in back taxes and fees for the 2006 and 2007 tax years, but foreclosure proceedings on those debts wouldn’t begin until next year.

Aretha Will Cut A Bitch Up!

Both of you are really gross, okay?

Beyonce introduced Tina Turner as "The Queen of Soul", infuriating the big fat queen Aretha Franklin. She said:

"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy." Big Queen Aretha

Beyonce, who is now in hiding, had her daddy stick up for her, even though they aren't speaking! He said:

"Something this ridiculous – it's childish, it's unprofessional. And it's a sad day when egos get bruise because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."
This bitch better watch his back!

How about this.. Dear Tina, Aretha and Beyonce, you all suck!
The real King and Queen

I Know, I Promised I Wouldn't, But...

My favorite story from The Grammys has to do with Aretha Franklin. Seems the Queen wanted some tea in her dressing room. A tea service was brought to her. Ummm. She wanted a silver tea service. Runners were sent out to find Ms. Franklin a tea service and at the end of the night when no one could find it, no one really thought it wise to go and ask Ms. Franklin if she wouldn't mind returning it.

National Treasure

Aretha, 65, was honored last night. She said : "This gown is so tight. It took me about 20 minutes to get in the car.
"I'm not kidding. I tried to get in the car 40 different ways."
She even received a video message from former US president Bill Clinton.

He told her: "Aretha Franklin, you're a true national treasure."
These are my last pics of Aretha, ever. I promise.

Fire Her "Trainer"

So Miss Aretha has been giving interviews about how she's working with a trainer, and has lost alot of weight, she feels lighter, blah, blah. Is she kidding? This is her yesterday. Yum!

Aretha Franklin: Steal Her Diet Secrets!

Aretha Franklin gave an interview to the Associated Press where she talked about how she's feeling much lighter these days thanks to a trainer. Aretha will perform at the Grammys this Sunday with Mary J. Blige.

She said, "I've got a new trainer, and she's giving me a lot of good things, really educating me about nutrition and weight loss and how to do it, and cooking stuff for you. I'm not on a diet. It's a lifestyle change. I'm going to be doing it for the long run. And eventually I'll reach my goal." Blah, blah, you're still gigantic, and no one cares.

(Her goal is to weigh 700 lbs. instead of 900).
Aretha went on," I feel lighter. I'm not as heavy, what you get with the red meat. You dragging yourself along when you have all that red meat. Much lighter. I feel a lot lighter, and a lot better. But I'm still a raging bitch, that ain't never gonna change."
Okay, she didn't say she was a raging bitch.

Dear Aretha,

Is it really too much to ask that you get yourself a decent support bra? And, no offense, but I don't see what the big deal is about your singing. It's kind of annoying and stale if you ask me. I mean, Toni Braxton sings way better than you do, and with much more soul. It's a shame you can't find a decent hair stylist or makeup artist. Just an idea.. but maybe you should just give it a rest. Do you really think anyone R-E-S-P-E-C-T-S you anymore? I mean look at yourself! Fat is one thing, but you're made up like a clown, and stuffed into your tacky gown like a sausage. That fright wig isn't doing you any favors either. Well, hope you write back soon, and have a great holiday, Julie
