A Florida Congressional Candidate Fell For A Joke About How Beyonce Is Really An Italian Woman Named Ann Marie Lastrassi
When it comes to politics, America reached certified WTF levels a long, long time ago. But KW Miller, a congressional candidate from Florida (WHERE ELSE?!), took things to new levels by going off on a Twitter rant about Beyonce’s liberal agenda and accused her of really being an Italian woman named Ann Marie Lastrassi. That conspiracy theory was born on Twitter and it was just a joke invented to bring attention to the police-killing of Breonna Taylor. Yes, this is where we’re at in the world.
Viola Davis, Tiffany Haddish, And Andre Braugher Join The Cast Of The Live “Good Times” Event
They really could just do the theme songs as far as I’m concerned, but ABC is going all out again for Live In Front Of A Studio Audience which will air next Wednesday. Last year, LIFOASA presented All In The Family and The Jeffersons. This year, according to Deadline, AITF is coming back, but they’ve replaced The Jeffersons with Why Ain’t Florida Evans Thicc? I mean, Good Times featuring Viola Davis as Florida Evans and Andre Braugher as the doomed James Evans.
Open Post: Hosted By Patti LaBelle Continuing Her Food Mogul Takeover With Frozen Chinese Dinners

Patti is continuing her food-related entrepreneurial exploits and will be coming out with her very own brand of frozen Chinese food. If someone knows good Chinese food it’s… Patti LaBelle?
Patti LaBelle On Having To Slap Mariah Carey
Since she’s from Philly like yours truly (and we have the same birthday), Patti LaBelle is my favorite auntie in my mind. Her over the top penguin arm flapping, ninja star shoe throwing style of entertainment has been giving me my life since I was a kid. However, I never knew she had so many stories from her career and one story that I wasn’t expecting was how she got to slap Mariah Carey around back in the day. Well, maybe not slap her around like in a street fight but Mariah definitely caught Patti’s hands once or twice.
The Tax Man Claims Aretha Franklin’s Estate Owes Millions
The Queen of Soul may have also been the Queen of Debt. Aretha Franklin died in August, and she obviously left behind a legacy of music. The tax man has a different way of remembering Aretha. The IRS now claims Queen Aretha owes millions in back taxes, and let’s just hope a planned tribute concert will put a dent in that pile of debt. Continue reading
The Line-Up Of Performers For Aretha Franklin’s Funeral Is Fit For A Queen
Coachella? Never heard of her. Essence Fest, step aside. The biggest and baddest music festival of the decade will be held in next Friday in Detroit, and you’d have to beg, steal, or slap on a wig and borrow somebody else’s identity, if you wanted to attend. Aretha Franklin’s homegoing celebration is scheduled for August 31, and the lineup of artists slated to perform includes Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Jennifer Holliday, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, and a slew of other superstars from the gospel, classical, R&B worlds.
