Aretha Franklin
In her surprisingly tame new memoir, Aretha Franklin shows the fickle men in her life a bit too much "Respect."So you'd expect the Queen of Soul's autobiography to dish some serious dirt in a just-us-folks manner. Yet Aretha: From These Roots, written with David Ritz (biographer of Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, and B.B. King, among others), seems positively Victorian in its approach, harking back to a day when nice ladies didn't swear or dwell on sex in print.
Throughout the strangely prim book, Franklin glosses over unpleasant events, accentuating the positive to a degree that's almost risible.
A star cast Jennifer Hudson will be playing Aretha Franklin in the movie and Billy Dee Williams will be playing Her father, C.L. Franklin

Billy D's back on screen. I'm more excited about him than J. Hud. I'm sure she will be a great Aretha
Casting director was like: "We need a big boobed over singer. Huuum...J. Hud! Perfect!!"
