Fun With Fox News Aretha Franklin Mess-Up

From People.com:

Fox News has issued an apology for using a photo of singer Patti LaBelle in their Aretha Franklin tribute following the news of Franklin’s death on Thursday. 

“We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends,” Fox News Vice President, Media Desk Jessica Santostefano said in a statement given to PEOPLE.

Users in social media have been having fun with this story by posting Aretha Frankin "memorial" photos with different people including Oprah, Whoopie Goldberg, "Aunt Esther" from Sanford and Son and others.

I guess this can go into the Ron Burgundy Hall of Fame!

Oprah Winfrey Raked Over Coals

The Empress of the Oprah Winfrey Empire is being raked over the coals by irate women who are upset over Oprah's refusal to have Governor Sarah Palin on her show. (It is even questionable that Palin would accept if even invited.)

Winfrey claims that she doesn't want to make her show "political" by having candidates on her show. However, she has had Barack Obama on her show twice. She is an ardent supporter of Obama and hasn't made it any secret. She pretty much rescued Obama from oblivion last spring when he wasn't making any headway in the polls.

The women who are chastizing her are complaining that she's being a hypocrite as she already made her show political and doesn't have the guts to have Palin on. It would be interesting to see how many Republican women watch Oprah's show and buy her products.
