Aretha Franklin does not notice your side eye every time she mentions Halle Berry starring in her biopic...
For years Aretha Franklin has mentioned Halle Berry starring in her upcoming biopic like it was a done deal.
It. was. not.
Aretha never even talked to Halle about it because when put on the spot, Halle squirmed a little then croaked about not being able to sing before declining the role on the red carpet of a nationally televised awards show [click here if you missed that].
Halle shouldn't have been so modest.
Aretha Franklin sent a letter to Wendy Williams that read in part,
"She shouldn't underestimate her own talent... I never expected Halle to sing. She's an actress, not a singer. Many actors have portrayed vocalists by lip-syncing to the artist's original recordings."
So are you going to tell her or should I?
