Aretha Franklin and Russell Simmons pose together at the 9th Annual Art For Life Benefit Gala that took place over the weekend. The annual benefit event celebrates the creative talents of disadvantaged New York City youth with a silent auction and honoree presentation.
Other guests included Diddy, L.A Reid, Tamia, and Al Roker. Russell arrived with girlfriend Porschla Coleman after a string of rumors released last week that the two broke up.

LMAO HA HA HA @ 15-Diaz u are a fool!!!!
OMG Aretha and Puff’s Mom I dont know who gets the HOT DAMN MESS AWARD BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO HURRY UP AND VOTE SO WE CAN CROWN THE WINNER AND GET HER ASS A MAKE OVER QUICK!!!
Ok you guys are funny!!! Every comment about Aretha is what I was thinking at one time WTH WTF WTMF WTDevil just What I cannot understand, why did she go out like that? That goes to prove that stars are not your friends because if they were they would tell you that you need a make over. And Puffy you went from harlem to hollywood and left your mother. She looks ghetto fabulous I wouldn’t take her outside looking like that. Garbage just Garbage makes no sense long ass titties looking like that.
LOL, yall know what? I bet Aretha does have on a bra, it’s probably just gave up. I’m trying to understand?!! Someone help me!! Her flippin’ tits are the length of Russells torso, their covering her stomach! WTF?! Okay Aretha, just give it up and go have surgery. SMH. Puffy mom compared to her is classy, although she could stand to loose the blonde wig! NewsFlash: You are not Lil Kim!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! If Aretha don’t put them “biddies” away!!!! IT’s embarassing, and disgusting, I’ve been seeing too much of them recently. Ewwh! I think she should get a reduction and a lift. ^ ^
how in the hell does a woman have flat BIG t!tties? i mean seriously….their flat and long but big…LMAO…aretha, dear, its time, has BEEN time for a reduction…..
ARETHA PUT ON A GOD DAMNED BRA MA!!!! LORD JESUS HELP YOUR ELONGATED TITTIES. YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT DON’T HURT!
LMBAO!! You all have me crying from laughing so hard…especially DIAZ…whew!
GURRL, now you know miss aretha don’t need to be serving those enormous PANCAKES, honey…NOT EVEN AT BREAKFAST! …in her own words, “you better think ’bout what you trying to do to me…” Plus. y’all don’t be too hard on her people ‘cuz, even though I don’t know for a fact, I get the feeling ‘retha is one of those people where…YOU CANNOT TELL MS THANG, (NOT THINK, BUT THANG), THAT SHE IS NOT CUTE HONEY…It simply will not do…Y’all know the type I speak of, and there she is honey, doing it wayyyy to big, GOD BLESS HER…!
(NOT THING, BUT THANG)
Aretha must have a mental disorder. She’s been dressing like this forever. She not only needs more bra support, but she shouldn’t be showing her cleavage, anyway. Cover that up. Whats wrong with her. Where are her family and friends.
Janice Combs needs the mess beat out of her for GP. She has no fashion sense at all. Puffy needs the black beat off him for letting his mother be out looking a mess ALL THE TIME!
I know Arethea is the Queen of soul, but she needs to wear a bra. No woman should leave the house with out a bra if they have bigger than a D cup. Arethea never looks put together, to me she always looks sloppy.
Ohh, I was so caught up in Arethea and her sandwich bags, that I didn’t even realize that my girls Ming and Aoki were there looking all cute. I love those girls, especially Aoki.
BTW after further inspection I do believe Arethea does have on a bra, it’s just a bad one with no support.
Aretha really needs to get somewhere and sit down with them gigantic , long titties! Thats just ridiculous! SHe needs a breast reduction STAT!!!!!!!!! Man, that really looks horrible, I know her breasts gots to weigh about 15 or more punds a peice DANG!
Russell & Kimora’s girls are so beautiful. Grant & Tamia looks great.
#13-Your negative comments about 2 children sums up exactly what is wrong wtih the black race, grow up.
I have major respect for Ms. Franklin but she needs to do something about the breasts. May I suggest the Ashley Stewart butterfly bra…..
Forget Arethas breasts.. whats wrong with her face???
Lmao….Aunty Re Re needs to seriously get a breast reduction. She’s giving “a hot mess” a bad name right now. #17 Your hilarious….
Do your boobs sag low …do they wiggle to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot….can you tie them in a bow
DO YOUR BOOBS SAG LOW???!!!
I think its fair to say that Al Roker and his wife look decent as well…I have always found them an interesting couple.
And BTW Jills butterfly bras dont fit real Diva’s like Aretha (or myself) so stop suggesting it…Besides I dont think Jill could come up with enough fabric to help Aretha out.
Lol@ whoever said PDiddys mom looks like the original lil Kim because thats exactly what I was thinking.
Aretha!!!!! Come on momma, you can’t do it like that……….Grant and Tamia have been together for a minute too. Ming and Aoki are pretty—when they get older they are going to be sum-tin!!!!!!!
