PETA Not Down With ‘The Queen’

Just a week after Aretha Franklin ripped on Beyonce for introducing Tina Turner as ‘The Queen’, PETA is coming forward to try and get Aretha to stop wearing real furs.

PETA is using the recent controversy to try and convince the very plus-sized soul singer to retire her fur coats and go faux.

In a letter to Franklin, PETA spokesperson Dan Matthews writes, “Music lovers may think of you as a ‘queen,’ but to animal lovers, you are a court jester. Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as ‘queen of compassion,’ Mariah Carey, did. You’ll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises.”

First it was Natalie Cole crying about Amy Winehouse not deserving her Grammys, then it was Aretha Franklin bitching about Beyonce calling Tina Turner ‘The Queen’.

Diva drama at the Grammys this year!

Aretha stated after the show, “I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway.”

Give me a break! First off, Beyonce didn’t call her ‘The Queen of Soul’ as Aretha has been dubbed, but simply, ‘The Queen’. Tina is a queen! Damn!

I think Aretha was a little jealous that Tina still looks incredibly amazing and she looks like a pair of Queen size pantyhose stuffed to the hilt with Idaho Spuds.

Get over it Aretha! You’re still the Queen of Soul, but you’re not the only Queen!
