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.

I love Award shows, yet at the same time they are hard for me to watch in their entirety…short attention span I guess.

Nonetheless, I’ll be watching the Grammy’s this year, if only to see the performance with Tina Turner and Beyonce.

Oh I can only imagine what kind of gyrating and hair swinging will be going on.

Here’s Beyonce’s tribute to Tina Turner back in ‘05. She said “When I think of inspiration I think of the two Tina’s in my life…the amazing Tina Turner. I’ll never forget the first time I saw you perform. A woman so powerful, so fierce, so fabulous.”
