A Virginia man has been arrested for shooting another man in the middle of an argument about who should play Aretha Franklin in a film about the late singer.

Michael Jermell Hatton, 44, and Tony Jonathan Lundy, 47, got into an altercation in a barber shop in Suffolk County on Thursday morning.

The argument quickly turned physical when they got outside after Hatton pulled out a gun and allegedly shot Lundy at least once.

Witnesses told WAVY that the two men had been arguing inside the barber shop about which actress should play the Queen of Soul in a movie.

They were reportedly at odds over whether Halle Berry would be a good fit for the role.

Both men were rushed to hospital and Lundy remains in a serious condition.

When Hatton was released from hospital he was taken into custody on a slew of charges.

I was in a black barber shop waiting for a haircut when George Zimmerman was being indicted on the television screen. Awkward!

>>They were reportedly at odds over whether Halle Berry would be a good fit for the role.<<

The one who said “Halle Berry” = bad is correct. She is too petite and exquisite to play Aretha.

The First Lady of Soul was beautiful but big boned. I already am on record as voting for pre-”DreamGirls” Jennifer Hudson

Or Angela Bassett. She was always good but she’s awesome in the TV show 911.

How about some transgendered, large, trans-race ‘female’?

Maybe I should have added trans-sized . . .

You gotta admire a man who’ll stand up for what he believes in.
