It's a fight that should be called. John McCain went nasty today in New Mexico, basically arguing that his opponent is a shiftless and lazy hustler who will appoint Stevie Wonder Secretary of Fine Arts and Miss Aretha Franklin First Lady. He somehow also accused Obama of not being committed ENOUGH to the bailout, and today seems like the complete wrong day to bring that up. McCain is fighting like...

CHICAGO The figures are stilled in lovely black-and-white portraits along the walls of Josephine Wade's soul food restaurant here on the South Side. There's Lou Rawls. And Aretha Franklin. "I do all of Aretha's cooking when she comes to town," Wade says.

One of the joys of being a long-time diva in the music industry is that you can say whatever you want. Aretha Franklin know this. Tina Turner knows it, too. If you recall Franklin was upset at last year's Grammy Awards when Beyonce introduced Turner as "the Queen." According to Aretha, there's only one queen. [...]

It’s unlikely Aretha Franklin was much of a soccer fan - let alone appreciative of the hapless officials - when she asked us to give her respect, but you sense the men in black may soon need to resort to blasting out the soul classic before the game to get their message across. The refereeing debate [...]

Someone just turned Sweet 16 today, and her name's Rebecca! I recall the late-night trip to the hospital mainly because I had an Aretha Franklin greatest hits cassette playing. The labor and delivery were generally unremarkable, aside from the obvious miracle of birth itself, which, being my first experience with...

Every time you hear Aretha Franklin belt out "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" on AM or FM radio, the estate of Otis Redding, who penned the lyrics, receives a royalty payment. But Franklin gets nothing.

Dita Von Teese launched her new line of brasseries (I bet she totally calls them that) and other lingerie items for Wonderbra in London today. That was nice of Aretha Franklin to lend Dita one of her old bras for her to sit on during the presentation. Every time I see a picture of Dita, I get an intense craving for candy. The woman looks like she's made purely out of sugar. Her skin is like fluff,...
