Diva Aretha To Perform With Condoleezza Rice???
It's a step up from her old job!
With a new album releasing in April, Aretha Franklin announced in a recent interview that she will be performing her new set of arias this summer in three charity concerts. Accompanying her on the piano will be the accomplished concert pianist and former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice.
Aretha explained in the interview:
"Yes, I am working on some arias. Speaking of the arias, I am going to be doing three concerts over the summer, myself and Condoleezza Rice. Ms. Rice is a consummate classical pianist, and (since) I sing the arias, I thought that we could do something, a bipartisan effort for our favorite charities."
It should be a nice change of pace from the NOTHING Condoleezza was doing before!
A word to the wise, Condoleezza. Unlike your old boss, the Lady of Soul is classy, hardworking and a master at what she does. Do not question her authority!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T the diva!

Perez, you may feel so special right now but, take my word for it, one day (probably sooner than later) nobody is going to care about you anymore because you are so incredibly cruel. Sure you have added some nicer posts to balance it out but your malice still shines through. And, when you are down and nobody cares anymore you'll have a whole bunch of enemies. I mean a whole bunch rooting for your demise.
I think you mean "the first lady of soul-food". This land-whale is disgusting, sweaty and BROKE AS A JOKE.
Congrats on sounding even more uneducated and ignorant than usual!! Suggesting that Aretha Franklin is a harder working and more deserving of respect than the former President and Sec of State. Whether you liked him or not.. Get real!
mongoleeza rice is so fucking ugly.
Good lord . . . Aretha could moonlight as a weather balloon.
congoleeza rice is so fuckin ugly.
Nothing? Last time I checked Condi was still a poly sci professor at fucking Stanford.
Kudos on sounding more uneducated and ignorant than usual!! Suggesting that Aretha Franklin is a harder worker and more deserving of respect than the former President and Secretary of State. Get real!!!
IMAGINE IF ARETHRA FRANKLIN AND GABORNEY SIDIBE DID A CONCERT TOGETHER. THEY COULD STAND ON THE SAME STAGE AND BE ON TWO DIFFERENT CONTINENTS AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WOULD ALSO BE NO REFRESHMENT STANDS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE EATEN ALL OF IT
You hate Condoleeza Rice because you detest gay women and everyone knows it Perez.
She will be singing "I'm a brick house..a whole housing project rolled in a red tent"!
Good to see that the girl from "Precious" got another job.
Enough with the political comments. You have proven you don't know shit about politics unless it comes to gay marriage and even then you think you know what you're saying.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what is Effing WRONG with America!!! Yes, her voice is amazing. Yes, she is a legend. But I find it sick and disgusting that we are actually all supposed to just roll over and ignore the fact that she's eating herself into the grave. She doesn't have the money or self-confidence to get her health in gear?
If you don't have self-respect, please (even in your awesome voice) don't go singing to me about RESPECT! Seriously.
Re: CandyBeast – so what? she didn't get her job because of her looks
Re: CandyBeast – you would probably shit in your pants , be totally at loss and not know squat what to do if you were in her position…
ARETHA CANT SING ANYMORE. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ARETHA'S HISTORY KNOWS SHE'S ONE TOUGH BITCH TO WORK WITH. NEVER GIVES RESPECT TO OTHER DIVAS AND LAYS ON THE ATTITUDE. UP YOU'R GAME CONDOLEEZA OR YOU'RE A POS WITH REA REA. LMAO!
Perez–when you get political, you really sound narrow-minded, intolerant, and kind of stupid. And yes, liberals can be narrow-minded.
Perez u r such a dum azz
Oh goodness - she looks like a cow with a red dress !! Mooooooooooooooo!!! someone had too much macaroni n cheese.
you have to be kidding me? why do you talk about things light years above your pay grade? stick with celebrities, make up, clothes, shiny things….
stop with the "ok, i am not suppose to like or support ___________ because George Clooney tells me not to, so I will say things about them that I know nothing about." It doesn't take much research or any interest in Condoleeza to know that she is a professor of political science (look it up in a dictionary) where she was previously a provost before even being National Security Advisor and then Secy of State.
"It should be a nice change of pace from the NOTHING Condoleezza was doing before!" - Well, she is still a university professor and accomplished scholar. When are YOU gonna find a real job, Mario?
Aretha isn't the lady of soul she's the QUEEN of SOUL and the most important female artist of all time plain and simple. Music wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Madonna, Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton….END OF STORY.
What the effing hell is Condoleezza wearing in that photo? It doesn't even get points for looking comfy.
She has gotten very big.I hope she can handle all that touring.
What a fat slob! She does not respect herself!
Re: LetttyB – I actually LOL'd.
omg this wasn't a joke?? lol love your blogs Perez you always make me laugh!!
hey fat-haters: fuck yourselves! what a bunch of narrow minded fools. only thin people are talented? really.
God you are such an idiot. The 'nothing' she was doing before. Secretary of State is a pretty big something if you ask me. Stay out of politics please, we don't need you brainwashing another generation to think the way you do. Psycho liberals are just as dangerous as right-wing nuts.
#1 WTF is up with Rice's legs? Loks like she cut the feet out of her pantyhose.
#2 Hoping the fat Diva stays away from Pittsburgh. She use to be the shit….now she's just shitty.
why do you censor your site, all my comments are not getting posted, you're a pathetic liberal and typical too, must censor the other side because the left only wins if they are the only ones being heard.
if my comments don't get posted, I won't visit your site,
Perez, Dr. Rice has accomplished more than you ever will.
Arias. Wow. Go, Queen of Sou…Arias?
Condy will be fine if she listens for Aretha's timing and lets her lead.
What the hell is wrong with Condie's lower legs? Does she have vitiligo?
the "nothing" she was doing before??? Condoleezza Rice was the Secretary of state of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and a professor at Stanford. I'm sorry that isn't good enough for you perez, because obviously the only people that are accomplished in your eyes are those that actually give you the time of day (aka Lady Gaga). Stick to celebrities you asshole.
Re: LeFleur – HAHA THATS FUNNY!
Woohoo, Condi gets a second chance at being a lapdog!
