You know there are so many nice people in these pictures. People who mean well, who have nice personalities…but good GAWD
Thank the HEAVENS for Tamia & Grant. They are the ONLY ones looking decent.
let me first say i LOVE aretha, but does she have on a BRA?!?!?
Oh hell no! Is Aretha’s bra showing?
WHY does Aretha always have those saggy, baggy titties out all the time? It’s gross and is certainly not proper for a “Queen”. Clearly no one has the guts to tell her that.
Everyone did there thing here, @ #2. You are so right why would she go out like that, she can afford a Lane Bryant Special ordered Bra. Whats going on Aretha???? Ill be your wifey Russell, Ill be half as expensive as the last one.
Puff & Diddy’s mom….WHY??? WHY???
Love…Love…Love Tamia! CL needs to post her music n updates. Let’s trying uplifting artists w/ talent.
Diddy PLEASE UP YOUR MOM PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU *I guess now he is going to do a speech about me on youtube*
Aretha get then damn girls pulled up or tucked do something with them thangs
everyone else looks great
The Simmons girls are so adorable!
Portia Coleman kinda resembles Rihanna in that pic.
I dunno why but Tracey Edmonds always…always…looks the same! She needs a new ‘look’ something to really enhance her beauty/look ’cause she never really stands out to me
Aretha, Aretha, Aretha *shakes head*
You are an icon! Why in the hell would you come out of your house looking like this? I am convinced the Queen of Soul does not have any mirrors or friends. *SIGH*
I feel myself getting mad. Aretha really piss me off when she comes out like this, which is all the time. She wants RESPECT, then she needs to start carrying herself with some. She knows better. It doesn’t look like she is getting ready for next year’s music awards. She gonna be sitting in the crowd hating again in 2009. She doesn’t carry herself with class at all. And I’m not just talking about how she dresses either.
*UPGRADE
Everyone looks nice!
Nah, I’m lyin: Aretha & Janice need some NO people, instead of all dem YES mf people they got on the payroll.
And I don’t know why, but for some reason seeing Tracey that close to L.A. Reid is a bit disturbing. lol
Aoki Lee Simmons is WAY cuter than Ming Lee..Sorry. I had to get that off my chest.
Aretha looks a hot firey ass mess…like WTF??
Has Diddy not learned that shades are the right way to go for him?? He looks so nasty without them yet so damn good with them?? His mother is a waste of time.
I thought Russell and Porschla broke up last week?? Well maybe they are just “friends” now.
WTF!? Auntie Re Re has dementia or something!! She might as well have pulled them bad boys out and threw the backwards over her shoulders! They look like two airbags after an accident! Maybe she is an angel and they are her wings!?
Dayummmm her tits are long!!!
Jill come and give Aretha one of your platinum butterfly bra PLEASE!
#16. I am SMH (Shaking my head) RME(Rolling My Eyes) and JMAYRAN (Just Mad As You Right About Now)….Her titties are long…OMG, that was funny! Thanks for the laugh #16.
#13. Comparing the looks of two precious little girls….wow!

LOL @ 17.
DAMN! Areefa got the sleepiest titty’s this side of the mississippi river! Geez! Sling them thangs over your shoulder or something!!
I really do hate talking about old people, esp the ones who are icons like Aretha. But damn…..I know she knows those things are hanging down to her knee!!! WTF? That is so not presentable. Where’s here damn stylist? She needs to fire them and get new one
Aretha and Diddy’s mom: Bras, please! Love Tamia, but Grant’s always seemed corny. Ming’s a cutie.
Retha, Retha, Retha……..
And I wanna say something about Diddy’s mom but I can only talk about one old person a day….and aretha took that spot for today
LMAO at #17!!!!!!!! And diddy please upgrade your mom, the blond hair is gettig old and she needs to dress for her age!! I love the simmons girls….cute. Smooches…
aretha needs to stay away from the plunging neck type of stuff
:/
I know Aretha can afford to go to Sears and get her a nice all in one girdle/bra. that is just horrific. if she does not want to or cannot lose weight that is one thing, but to roll out in public with her breasts hanging to the floor and no support for the rest of her body is unacceptable! i mean damn…..and Puffy’s mother needs to for real stop shopping at the Asian beauty supply/wig store and invest in a good lace front like Beyonce. that damn wig is shiny like doll hair!
diddy’s mama and aretha!…no maam
diddy’s mama and aretha!…no maam
Aretha really needs a bra! she’s doesn’t look good at all!
everyone looks nice EXCEPT janice combs what the hell?? for diddy to have a clothing line i wonder if he gives his mother styling advice…if not he needs to get on it…
Aretha…i just threw up a little in my mouth. man…..put them AWAY. I haven’t seen boobs that long in a minute!
If there was EVER a just-cause for undergoing a breast lift, Auntie ReRe’s boobs are it. This is just plain ridiculous. She’s losing weight but the mammaries are a lost cause! Nothing but surgery will fix this. Come on!
Good Lawd … #16 you got me in TEARS!
WHY IN THE HELL REE-REE REFUSES TO WEAR A BRA IS BEYOND ME.
I AM PISSED THAT AS OLD AS SHE IS, SHE SHOULD KNOW BETTER, OR MAYBE IT’S THE OLD LADY SYNDROME, “IM OLD AND I DON’T GIVE A FUCK”!
THAT JUST HURT MY FEELINGS, IM DONE!
LMBAO @ # DIAZ you are a fool…… Aretha Please get some help…. you need an intervention!!!
Ok….Aretha is definitely the Queen of Soul, we all agree on that, right? But….the cleavage is unnecessary lol.
1. I see aretha still don’t believe in wearing no dammn bra!
2. p.diddy’s mother is the original lil kim…….mama combs is a hot tranny mess
3. Tamia and Grant look cute…..i love them together
4. al roker looks like a pedophile
5. porschla looks like a playboy bunny bimbo!
if aretha’s boobs sag anymore she gonna trip over em
I KNOW ARETHA IS A LEGEND AND ALL BUT GEEZ, CAN SHE A WEAR BRA OR SOMETHING OR COVER THEM JOKERS UP. I ALSO THINK “BLOOD DIAMOND” RUSSELL’S GF IS UGLY. HER FOREHEAD IS ALWAYS SHINING. SHE GOT THAT RIHANNA FOREHEAD ON LOCK AND WHO INVITED WACK JULISSA?
I just want to say that our Black people know how to throw a party/gala. However, with that being said, “Aretha, girl, if you don’t HURRY up and cover up those boobs, I see an old white man in coveralls coming to milk you at any moment. ” That is just TACKY!
Tamia & Grant – Look nice but why does every pic have Grant looking like he’s afraid and someone just said, “BOO!” and scared the ish outta him? Tamia looks gorgeous.
Tracy – Wow! You bounced back well from Eddie. Looking good!
Russell – We all know you on that viagra but we ain’t mad. Oh girl is BAD!
Al Roker – Yes, you are very metrosexual because I thought for the longest you were just gay!
Julissa – Glad you got rid of that woman beater girl! Do you!
Mama Combs – Thank you for throwing away the platinum blonde wigs! BRAVO!
Aretha dam, do Something with all that money.
ARETHA, now we knoooooow black dont crack but that does not mean its ok to be that old showin that much clevage… Man i swear sometimes these celebs just think they can get away with any and everything, somebody shouda nipped that in the bud oka
LM….A….O at DIAZ
Aretha is WRONG for putting those slllliiiiiddderrs in full view, how rude!!! Now I am traumatised.
Retha please…spare us. We don’t need to see all that. She should be embarrassed walkin’ around showin’ dem saggy old breasts.
wtf aretha? seriously just cos them thangs droop slow damn low u cant see em dont mean we should have to suffer the sight of em! damn i just threw up in my mouth…
Dang. Whats Aretha’s bra size?
Quadrouple Z’s
Folk can talk all day and night about the inappropriate dress of the young “hoochie” mamas…. and sometimes they simply have not been taught any better….
But Aretha and Janice KNOW BETTER — and they need to DO BETTER.
Aretha looking like she is wearing a leather saddle bag necklace — damn shame.
aretha!! WTF!!!!! that is just nasty, woman!!! ur ass damn near 70…geeeeeez
porschla = sssmokin’!
ARETHA NEEDS TO EFFIN STOP. SHE LOOKS NASTY AND NEEDS A FULL COVERAGE BRA ASAP. ITS NOT CUTE!!!!!!!!!
lmao at aretha’s boobs having a tea party with her knees
All that money and Aretha Franklin cannot afford a BREAST LIFT?!!! Come on now…it’s one thing to be heavy-set…geez…
2 questions
1. How did they get that picture of Aretha with her entire body??? head to toes
2. Why does Diddy’s mama tits look like an easter basket in that dress
we really can do better
Angela you need to caption Russell pic with Arthea… “Mumbling between his teeth, what the hell!!”
I WOULD LOVE TO STICK MY DICK IN BETWEEN ARETHA’S BIG ASS TITTIES AND SKEET ALL OVER THEM MUTHA FUCKAS!!
