Twitter Reacts After Patti LaBelle’s BET Awards Tribute To Tina Turner Went All The Way Left
Last night the annual conference of participation trophies known as The BET Awards took place during its allocated time slot on the last Sunday in June. And although there were many moments when I looked at the screen and asked nobody in particular, “Who the fuck is this?” there was one face I will always recognize, Patti LaBelle. In the past, she has both performed and been honored, but last night she took to the stage to pay tribute to the iconic Tina Turner, who sadly passed away last month. Unfortunately, another sad thing was Patti’s performance, which is being raked over the coals as the long-awaited sequel to her critically acclaimed 1996 Christmas special titled “Where My Background Singers!”
Patti LaBelle Says She’s Ready To Date At 78
People reports that Patti LaBelle went on Jennifer Hudson’s talk show on Tuesday and revealed that she’s open to dating at age 78. Gentleman widowers, dust off your boner pills! A hot new bombshell has entered the villa…
Patti LaBelle Was Rushed Offstage After A Bomb Threat At Her Show In Milwaukee
Now more than ever, we must protect our cultural icons at all costs! So I need to know the names of every security officer at Patti LaBelle‘s recent show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because they all need Congressional Medals of Honor. On Saturday night, Patti was enjoying an evening of kicking off shoes and shouting toward the heavens during her show at the Riverside Theater. But as someone was literally giving her flowers, security bum-rushed the stage like a Wu-Tang concert and whisked Patti away from the threat of imminent danger.
Happy Thanksgiving From Earth Angel Dolly Parton!
The pandemic-era Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade happened today, and honestly, they should’ve just brought out the iconic duo Spider-Man tossing Uncle Sam’s salad and called it a day since 2020 can eat all of our unwashed asses. But the socially-distanced show went on and featured non-kicking Rockettes, lip-synching woes, a performance from the Midwestern Rent known as Jagged Little Pill, and a trio of legends: THEE Dolly Parton, THEE Darlene Love, and THEE Patti LaBelle!
Patti LaBelle’s Adopted Son Or Nephew Was At The Center Of A Twitter Black Gay Guy Hunt
A baffling string of events occurred on Twitter yesterday and this time it wasn’t Donald Trump’s fault. Well, not directly. This one’s more on Patti LaBelle. The AV Club reports that Patti’s “son and/or nephew” might be behind one of the greatest political scandals involving an elected official since, well, since whatever it is that Donald Trump is doing right at this very moment. It began with ultra-conservative former Lehigh County Commissioner Dean Browning, who is neither Black or gay (as far as we know) announcing “I’m a black gay guy” on Twitter, and everybody going “what?” And it ended with a man named William Holte, who is either Patti’s adopted son or nephew (or the nephew she adopted) but is in fact a Black gay guy (and conservative) who also goes by the aliases Dan Purdy and Byl Holte on social media, claiming “I’m not a sock puppet”. And now we all know Patti must have felt up on that stage trying to sing This Christmas without her lyrics or backup singers— confused and frustrated.

Queens supporting queens!
