Would you consider remarrying in your 60s?
The Queen of Soul is looking better than ever, and now Aretha Franklin is gettin' hitched to her longtime companion William Willie Wilkerson. Aretha lost 85 pounds in 2011 and underwent at least one undisclosed surgery. Media outlets reported various rumors on the 69-year-old legend, from gastric bypass surgery to an operation for pancreatic cancer… all which Franklin denied.

Time to show her a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T and let her be! Congrats Aretha!!

Should Halle Berry play Aretha Franklin in Aretha's biopic?
Halle Berry is being considered for the role of Aretha Franklin in a biopic abou the diva.

Aretha herself says "I just saw her at the curtain of Oprah's farewell event and she let me know that she still wants to play the role and she didn’t know that she wasn’t expected to sing. I told her, ‘No, we never expected you to sing, we already knew you weren’t a singer!’ However, I do think she could pull it off." Hmm. Will it be weird if Berry doesn't really do the singing?

Perhaps more surprising is that Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia Barrino are also being considered for the role. Well, Hudson I understand, but Fantasia?

Did Aretha Franklin lie when she said she didn't get gastric bypass surgery to help her lose 85lbs?
When Access Hollywood asked Soul Queen Aretha Franklin if gastric bypass contributed to her 85lb loss, the 68-year-old singer said "Definitely not -- and would not." She adds, "I heard that [rumor]. I said 'That is crazy.'"

Well it's not that crazy! Girlfriend was huge! For reasons the diva has flat out refused to reveal, she received a mystery surgery in December. Making matters even more confusing, she said that her weight came off "from the surgery that I had."

Hmm. So what's a secret surgery you can get that will help you lose 85lbs but ISN'T gastric bypass surgery? Well I don't see Aretha getting lypo at her age!
