HOLLYWOOD GETS IT WRONG AGAIN



You better THINK, think about what you're trying to do to me! Halle Berry has been confirmed to portray Aretha Franklin in the life of the soul legend. No dis-R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the undisputed Queen of Soul whose voice I love, but Halle is way too pretty to play her. I know Hollywood often pretties up actresses who play real life characters as they did with Beyonce in the Etta James story. But Etta hated this--Aretha wants it!?! Unless Halle wears a prosthetic nose, jowls, a fat suit, and lip-synchs, I Say A Little Prayer for this one.
