Back in January people were buzzing about Beyonce playing Etta James in a movie, while I was trying to figure out who Etta James is. (Shame on me!)

Now James has given an interview to Page 6. She says this of Beyonce:

“It’s a privilege and an honor to have somebody like that girl. I don’t think she looks like me, but that’s all right. They can fix that up…Oh my god, she’s going to have a hill to climb, because Etta James ain’t been no angel…I wasn’t as bourgie as she is, she’s bourgeois. She knows how to be a lady, she’s like a model. I wasn’t like that… I smoked in the bathroom in school, I was kinda arrogant, so those are some of the things I would want to tell her”

I don’t mind PETA, but sometimes I hate their tactics.

Here’s their latest publicity stunt geared towards Aretha Franklin:

“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.”

Weight jokes are so tasteless, really.

You may wonder why they picked on her. Well with all the publicity she’s been getting for being offended that Beyonce called Tina Turner the Queen in her Grammy’s intro, I guess they figured they’d hop on the tail end of the publicity train.

If you are on Twitter, you’ll see that I posted some of my thoughts as the ceremony progressed.Here’s a quick recap.

• Loved Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra. Would have been cool if he was in color.
• I’m about to cry after Kanye’s performance. I need to tell someone I love them.
• Dang…Tina Turner is 68 years old. Can I get some of what she’s drinking?
• You’d think Kanye’s arrogance would have decreased, at least slightly.

Now, here are a few videos in case you missed it.

The Presidential Race heated up, two candidates dropped out, but here’s what went on in the land of celebrities.

Montel Williams flipped the script on Fox News, and it was funny.

Celebs were looking fabulous at the Welcome Home Roscoe Jones Premier.

Then the Montel Williams Show was canceled, so was the Star Jones show.

Next Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpartick apologized.

We learned that Beyonce is rich.
