Aretha Franklin Engaged - Not Pregnant

According to CNN, The Queen of Soul is getting married - but it's not a shotgun wedding...

Legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin is engaged to her "longtime friend and confidant," William 'Willie' Wilkerson, Franklin's spokeswoman said in a statement. 

The "forever friends" are thinking about getting married in Miami Beach, Florida, with a reception afterward aboard a luxury yacht, the statement added. 

"We're looking at June or July for our date and no I'm not pregnant, LOL!" Franklin said in the statement.

I just hope President Obama is invited and wears THE HAT...

BlondGirlSayWhat?!?

If you guessed that I posted this simply because it features the lovely and talented (but mostly lovely) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, you would have guessed correctly.

But I also have some Christina Aguilera-related news: Xtina will be singing as part of an Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammy's on Sunday. Guuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrlllll, you besta COME CORRECT with the lyrics!!! Do you want to spend the next 6-8 months digging The Queen of Soul's black patent-leather pumps outta your butt because you couldn't remember how to spell R-E-S-P-E-C-T ?!?

No. I didn't think so. LEARN.THE.WORDS!

Afternoon Aretha Break - Rock Steady

What it is ...

Road Tripping with Liza and Aretha

I soooooooooooo want to take a road trip with Liza, Aretha, and a whole bunch of Snickers bars.  And the boys can come along too.

Put THE HAT on Your Christmas Tree!

THE ONE TRUE HAT now comes as a lovely Christmas ornament. Hat tip to Joe.My.God.

Can You Find THE HAT?

Click HERE to go to a really cool site - Gigapan. Once there you can zoom into the inauguration picture above - down to the most amazingly minute detail.

As you can imagine, without even thinking about it I immediately zoomed onto THE ONE TRUE HAT. Long may it reign.

If you zoom in close enough, you can see where the various photos were digitally spliced together - creating little image warbles. For instance, if you look at Aretha and THE HAT, you will see that their fabulousness wiped out the top half of Rick Warren's fat head. Fierce.


THE HAT is very powerful and must not be angered by homophobic gasbag "Ministers" ...

THE HAT

Is there a such thing as a HAT Stalker?? If so, that's what I want to be when I grow up.

I just read on Joe.My.God. about a Flickr group devoted to THE HAT. And I know this will shock you, but apparently I'm not the only gay man who's a fan of THE HAT. Check out Joe's post HERE.

THE HAT

Thanks to Dust Bunny Ron G for sending me the fierceness that is THE HAT.

The Queen (of Soul) Wears Her Crown

I know I said no more posting today - but I had to post a picture of Ri-Ri and THE HAT. Most people will disagree, but I love it.
