Beyonce's "Queen" a Royal Pain for Aretha02/13/2008 6:00 AM, E! OnlineThere are plenty of divas. But there can only be one queen.
Aretha Franklin has lashed out at well-intentioned comments made by Beyoncé Knowles during the latter's introduction of Tina Turner on the Grammy stage Sunday night. Franklin, 65, says she felt disrepected after Knowles referred to Turner as the Queen, while relegating Franklin to a brief name check in a long list of inspirational singers past, an act apparently tantamount to musical heresy.
"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy," a clearly offended Franklin said in an unprompted statement issued by her publicist.

I hope we have Divas that are not Bitches...
We have 3 Divas now.....Maura, Anna & Keelan.....if only they could sing!
Aretha is just angry at everyone; she thinks she's large enough to have her own zipcode.
from the photos of Aretha it looks to me that she is large enough for her own Zip Code! Honestly, who looks like the Queen Diva here, Aretha or Tina!?!
Tina! Tina! Tina!
Such nonsense. Do you expect me to believe that DIVAS are all African-American?? What about Britney, Madonna, Carrie and Tony Romo's chick?? DUHHH!
Aretha's ego may be bigger than her boobs!
