Really?

Mr. Song Millinery on Woodward Avenue in Detroit has struck a sour note with Aretha Franklin. It was her inaugural hat that caused a flood of orders from around the world. And now, the Queen of Soul wants royal treatment from store owner Luke Song for wearing it.
"I think that I should be getting big time royalties from him. That's what I think," said Franklin in an interview with WWJ's Vickie Thomas at Sunday's NAACP Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner.

diva wants another gimme. wow. story at 11. *yawn*
She has teeth. I have teeth. Do I need to pay her royalties for that too?
Urethra say “Gimme, gimme gimme.”
The only taste this woman’s got is in her mouth.
What a porcine princess.
Aretha, shut up and don’t sing. Just go away.
Thanks, from all of us.
Thats a shot at the diva Westlander, not you.
why should SHE get royalties..isn’t wealth a no-no in todays world?? isn’t she supposed to “share the wealth” and re-distribute her income to those in need??
wait, sorry, that only applies to corporations and conservatives..
She should have added that to the (implicit) contract she made when she bought the hat.
Reminds me of Daffy Duck refusing to tip a cab driver.
I bet if everyone knew what kind of a woman she really was we would not have to see her ugly, racist, slumlord face again.
Urethra should market her own hat if they are that popular.
“’I think that I should be getting big time royalties from him. That’s what I think,’ said Franklin”
Is this a joke? If you wanted some sort of compensation, you should have worked it out ahead of time.
Also, since when do you get royalties for a one-off advertisement? It’s not as if the inauguration is syndicated on local television (or is it?).
Typical lib...gimme gimme. Take money from the people who designed, created, manufactured. She deserves it because she wore it?
Urethra say “Gimme, gimme gimme.”
Michelle Obama say, in March ‘08,
“See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn’t have trust funds. I’m still waiting for Barack’s trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s’posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!”
What would have happened if Sarah Palin asked for royalties because women started buying the type of eye glasses she wore?
gimme, gimme, gimme....
That was an ugly hat anyway—both of them, the gray one and the pink one. They look ridiculous.
I think you're a fool for not arranging that in writing before wearing that horrific hat out in public. That's what I think.
Really?
