Of all the dumb things to get shot over, this has to be one of the dumbest ones

quote:

Police responded to a report of a gunshot victim Thursday morning around 10:45 a.m. Police said the shooting that happened in the 300 block of East Washington Street started with an argument.
quote:

News 3's Rachael Cardin spoke to a witness who said he heard the two people in the argument were fighting over whether or not Halle Berry played Aretha Franklin in a movie.
quote:

Police said the fight turned physical and then one of the subjects produced a firearm, shooting the other man at least once.
quote:

Police said the gunshot victim is considered to be in serious condition.
quote:

Franklin had previously wanted Berry to play her in an upcoming biopic, but Berry claimed she couldn't sing and wouldn't do the role justice, according to E News. Instead, Jennifer Hudson was tapped to play the Queen of Soul in the film.

i mean ,i'd rather look at Halle Berry. But, i think Aretha was known for singing. So...

ETA: I guess The Horse Shoe Cafe is VA's version of Sonic?

Of course, who wouldn't? Don't think she has much of a singing voice though.

Honestly this could have been a member of my family. They get so heated over the most trivial things if they "know" they're right . Like arguing to the death which actor played someone in a movie...

There has to be more important things to worry about and to shoot someone over this, what a joke.

I hope she's happy

First of all, it doesn't matter because using the voice of the actress will completely ruin the fantasy that you are actually watching Aretha sing. Hudson is a great singer in her own right but no one, and I mean NO ONE, has the same kind of tone or soul that Aretha has. It is precisely why she is the best of all time. They would be much better focusing on someone who resembles Aretha and can act and have them lipsynch.

No disrespect to Aretha but Halle is a much better looking woman. It’s like saying Brad Pitt will play a role based on Gary Busey.

There's actually a resemblance with the right hair.

Hey Brad Pitt is as good as anybody. Whoever it will be will require a shitload of prosthetics and theatrical makeup.
