Queen Of Petty: Aretha Franklin Still Beefing With Dionne Warwick For “Lying On Her” At Whitney’s Funeral
Aretha Franklin To Dionne Warwick: “IDFWU”
It’s no secret that long before “R-E-S-P-E-C-T” was a hook, Aretha Franklin has been demanding the world put some respect on her name, so should we really be surprised that she’s still holding a grudge against Dionne Warwick over comments she made at Whitney Houston’s funeral FIVE YEARS AGO. Mind you, Aretha wasn’t even there!
“She blatantly lied on me . . . fully well knowing what she was doing,” Franklin said Tuesday.
Franklin’s comments follow a long detailed fax she sent to the media about her 76-year-old peer, claiming Warwick called out her absence during Nippy’s funeral by “introducing” her.
“Ree’s not here, but she is here,” Warwick said. “She loves Whitney as if she were born to her. She is her godmother.”
Apparently, that was shade, because Franklin didn’t attend the funeral. Meanwhile, Whitney’s mom Cissy Houston has confirmed that Aretha is not actually Whitney’s godmother and Aretha says she missed the memorial partly because she had swollen feet. She did manage to perform the night of the event at Radio City Music Hall, but says she opted to skip Houston’s funeral due to all the drama surrounding the event.
“There’s been so much going on around her [Houston], around the service, around the drugs, around her and [Whitney’s ex-husband] Bobby [Brown] . . . I didn’t want to add anything to that,” she said.
All this old biddy beef is now public thanks to Warwick’s attempts to put the diva’s differences behind them by greeting her at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“She said, ‘Give me a hug,’ ” Aretha recalled. “I said, ‘Oh hell no. You couldn’t be serious.’ We’ve never been friends and I don’t think that Dionne has ever liked me.”
Meanwhile, Warwick’s rep released a statement saying she would not “dignify a response” to Aretha’s remarks.
Sheesh. Talk about crotchety! We’re gonna “Say A Little Prayer” for Dionne that Aretha finds some forgiveness in her heart!

All The Drama: Kendu Isaacs’ $420,000 Mistress Was Allegedly Mary’s Own Musical Protege, Starshell
Mary J. Blige’s Protege Was Kendu Isaacs’ Side Piece
If you’ll recall, court papers surfaced last week that allege that Kendu Isaacs took over $400,000 from Mary’s account to spend on lavish vacations and gifts for a woman he was keeping on the side.
Now, sources reveal that the side piece in question is a woman that was very close to Mary. In fact, she’s someone that Mary took under her wing and tried to propel in the music industry.
Rumor has it that Kendu’s mistress was 28-year-old up-and-coming singer, Starshell. Mary not only signed her to her Matriarch Entertainment record label, but had her open for her on tour and took her along on many red carpets and appearances. In return…Starshell allegedly carried on an affair with Mary’s husband and accepted hundreds of thousands worth of side chick prizes paid for with Mary’s cash.
According to Page Six, sources say that everyone in Mary and Kendu’s circle knew the deal…yet Mary somehow remained blind to the obvious.
“Everyone knew. Mary was the last to know, but it’s like, how do you not know?
It’s really f – – ked up and low to have it done to her that way. Had it not been for Mary signing her, investing time and money . . . Because no one cared about her music.”
Another source said Mary had suspicions…but seemed to brush them off.
“It was more like one of those things where you end up believing what you want to believe. But Mary had her suspicions.”
Man, Mary has all KINDS of shadiness in her circle! The fact that “everyone” knew and no one spoke up…SMH!!!

R&Burning: Man Sues R. Kelly Over Claims He Slept With His Wife And Gave Her Chlamydia
Man Claims R. Kelly Had An Affair With His Wife
One Mississippi cop is fed up with R. Kelly smashing his wife behind his back — allegedly — and is taking the crooner to court to put a stop to it once and for all.
Deputy Kenny Bryant has filed official docs claiming that he has suffered “emotional, psychological and financial loss” at Kelly’s hands since the man has been sleeping with his wife, Asia Childress, for the last five years.
According to Page Six, Kenny claims that Asia confessed that she had a sexual encounter with R. Kelly back in 2012, just before their wedding that July. He believes that Asia and Kells linked up once again that October after she attended one of his concerts, and began a full-on sexual relationship from that point forward.
Kenny says that Asia convinced him to quit his career as a county sheriff’s deputy and move the couple to Atlanta. Even though she told him it would likely lead to better opportunities in an Atlanta metro area PD, he believes it was really so that she could more easily access R. Kelly to continue their affair.
Kenny says that Asia also frequently traveled out of state to R. Kelly shows to rendezvous with the Pied Piper. He ALSO claims that Asia contracted chlamydia from R. Kelly around the time they re-sparked their sexual liaisons.
DAMN. Now, how exactly he feels like this entitles him to money from R. Kelly…we aren’t quite sure. Spouses cheat every day…and while it’s definitely WRONG, it’s not exactly illegal. If anything, he needs to be taking his wife to divorce court and running her pockets, provided any of this is factual.

Aaron Hernandez’ Third Suicide Note WAS NOT To A “Prison Bae,” But To His Lawyer
Aaron Hernandez’ Suicide Letter Was Not Addressed To A Prison Lover
Rumors have been swirling around for the last few days that Aaron Hernandez had a boyfriend in prison, and addressed one of three suicide notes to his lover just before hanging himself to death last week.
But it’s looking like that one’s a fairy tale.
Aaron’s lawyer already vehemently denied that there was any truth to the “love note” rumor, and now we may know why. Sources tell TMZ that the third note in question actually wasn’t addressed to an inmate at all.
Instead, it was written to his lawyer, Jose Baez.
The sources claim that Hernandez didn’t leave any kind of message at all for any other inmate. They back up Baez’ claims that the whole “prison lover” rumor was just a vicious lie meant to further tarnish Hernandez’ name after death.
No one has actually seen what these letters say, so how the information got out that the last note was some sort of love letter to a man he was sleeping with in prison is completely unclear.
But of course, folks will hear things like that and run with them — especially since it’s seen as “common” to take on prison boos when faced with a life-long sentence.

Another One: Delta Kicks Passenger Off Flight…For Using The Restroom During A 30-Minute Tarmac Delay
Delta Boots Passenger Over Using The Restroom
These airlines are just wilding out these days, aren’t they? Now, they’re booting passengers for using the restroom facilities…
The latest incident occurred on April 18th, as 39-year-old Kima Hamilton sat aboard Delta Flight 2035 from Atlanta to Milwaukee. The plane was third in line en route taxiing to takeoff, however the process drew on to about 30 minutes on the runway waiting.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, sensing a near-urgent need to use the restroom, Kima got up, went to the back of the plane near the restroom and asked the flight attendant there if he could quickly pop in to use the lavatory.
The flight attendant told him that if he did, they’d lose their place in line to takeoff, so Kima sat back down to wait. However, the plane only continued to sit still.
After some time passed and Hamilton’s urge to use the restroom grew into an emergency, he got up, went to the restroom, and was back in his seat within one minute as witnesses recall. But as he was buckling his belt, he heard an announcement from the captain:
‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry for the inconvenience but we have to return to the gate and remove a passenger.’
Here’s what happened next, as caught by an outraged passenger who witnessed the whole thing:
Of course, rather than an apology or anything like that…Delta issued the following statement regarding the incident:
“Our flight crews are extensively trained to ensure the safety and security of all customers. It is imperative that passengers comply with crew instructions during all phases of flight, especially at the critical points of takeoff and landing.”
Fair enough…but when takeoff is taking all day, at what point are people allowed to handle their natural needs? And why does that warrant all of this DRAMA?

Florida Crazies: Famished Prostitute Popped For Offering Cop Sloppy Toppy For $25 And Chicken Nuggets
Florida Prostitute Arrested For Offering Oral For $25 And Chicken Nuggets
Ah, Florida.
According to a report on TheSmokingGun, a woman from Bradenton, Florida was arrested in a prostitution sting. But that isn’t the crazy part…
Alex DiReeno was starving and didn’t have a dollar to her name apparently. In order to receive the sustenance she so desperately needed, the famished trollop offered a man the sloppiest of toppy in exchange for $25…and some chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s.
Only problem was, this man was an undercover police officer.
Cops allege that Alex DiReeno, 22, got into the auto of an undercover detective who had parked outside a Bradenton gas station around 10 PM. After some chit-chat, the cop told DiReeno that he “wanted to get my d!¢k sucked.” To which DiReeno reportedly replied, “Okay.”
After “a few seconds of bargaining,” the undercover reported, the duo agreed that, “I would pay $25.00 and get the female chicken nuggets in exchange for oral sex.”
Want a cherry on top? Well, here ya go.
The story also makes mention of a online prostitute in Ohio who was arrested for offering the aforementioned sloppy toppy in exchange for $50 and a plate of nachos.
Sounds like Alex needs to take heed and know her worth.

Let’s Try That Again: Phaedra Parks Re-Files Divorce Papers, Wants To Block Apollo From Doing THIS
Phaedra Re-files For Divorce From Apollo
Looks like Phaedra hit spell check on her divorce paperwork and decided to go for it again.
After her “finalized” divorce got tossed out by an ATL judge fed up with her shenanigans, Phaedra has gone back to the drawing board to dissolve her holy matrimony to jailbird Apollo.
This time around, she’s making sure her RHOA checks, lawyer cash, and funeral home money are all protected from her financial frauding husband.
According to TMZ, Phaedra is putting particular emphasis on the prenup the couple signed 9 days before their wedding, stating that each party is ineligible to receive alimony from the other in the event of a split.
Phaedra is stressing that the prenup they signed — not a judge — should be the final word over who retains what assets, one point that Apollo himself specially requested. She says that the fact that his assets are next to nothing is no one’s fault but his own since no one told him to commit crimes and get locked up.
Welp, this should be pretty simple. Although, it should have been simple the first time around…so we guess we’ll just see what happens.

Will You Be Watching??? Take A Look At The Bobbi Kristina Biopic Cast
Cast Of The Bobbi Kristina Biopic Revealed
The cast of the forthcoming Bobbi Kristina biopic has been revealed and it looks like they NAILED the casting. In case you didn’t know there’s a biopic in the works documenting the tragic fall of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter and Bobby’s reportedly none too pleased by it.
Back in February, TheJasmineBrand reported that Bobby was “blindsided by the news” and didn’t take it well at all.
“The rights were sold to the biopic before he had any knowledge of it. He was blindsided.”
TV One’s now going forward with the biopic and a cast photo has surfaced.
In it, we see Demetria McKinney portraying Nippy and looking like her doppleganger. There’s also Hassan Johnson playing Bobby Brown and Joy Revaris as a childhood Bobbi Krissy. Vivica Fox will reportedly be in the film as Whitney’s sister-in-law Pat Houston.
Wow!
