Britney Spears was inexplicably not asked to perform at this year's Grammy Awards, but that didn't stop the walking disaster from acting like a guest judge on American Idol while watching the awards show from home:

About Beyonce's widely acclaimed duet with Tina Turner, Britney reportedly quipped, 'Too bad she can't dance as good as Tina — who's old enough to be her grandmother!'

Even though Amy Winehouse looked sober and clean, the former princess of pop reportedly said of Winehouse's much-anticipated performance via satellite from London, 'Look at her! Look how stoned she is! She is so obviously stoned!'

Oh snap, you girls just got served — by a woman who constantly shows up in public wearing no pants and a pink wig.

So that we can ignore it for the rest of the post: Yes, Aretha Franklin has put on a tremendous amount of weight and looks to be very unhealthy. But, at hand here: Her rage at being slighted at the Grammys, which might be bigger than her physical body!

When Beyonce and Tina Turner hit the Grammy stage for their high-octane duet on Sunday, …the woman known as the "Queen of Soul" was left in a state of dismay over Beyonce's introducing Turner as "the Queen."

Clearly offended, Aretha Franklin says in a statement, "I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyoncé anyway."

No love to Tina? Pointed!

While she will continue to hold the title of Queen of Soul, Franklin's original handle will from now on be interchangeable with the excellencies the Queen of Paranoia and the Queen of Being a Damn Baby.

Rihanna recently told People magazine that her potential beaus must first go through a screening process conducted by her musical mentor Jay-Z.

"He's very protective," she says of her mentor, who discovered her and signed her to his Def Jam label. "Jay has my best interests in mind. If it's a good guy I know Jay won't shut him down. But if he's not, Jay will be like, 'No, no, no.' "

And exactly who are the guys trying to court Rihanna? "He actually never tells me. I have no clue who they are and I guess I'll never know," she says.

I would say it's a bit frightening that a 19-year-old woman is so comfortable allowing her male musical mentor to dictate what she can and can't do, but it worked for Tina Turner, right?

Speaking of handsome, can we please give pause to Tina Turner for trying to teach Hollywood how to grow old? While everyone from Robert Redford to Michael Douglas to this damaged eyesore are kicking and screaming their way into their golden years like myopic ingrates, Tina Turner is only getting surgery if she gets beaten up and wearing slimming dark pantsuits to to friends' fashion shows in Italy. She's winning a game she's not even playing.
