Not Funny. Not even slightly humorous. Not even worth a wry-smile.
Your subject? One of the GREATEST vocalists, in the history of recorded music.
THIS, is how your treat an American LEGEND?
I KNOW, Mr. Levin is a better Mensch, than THIS.

That is a look of disapproval from a talented lady as she sees your pap with his camera. She was famous before paps got all up in people's personal everyday lives. She doesn't have time to mess with your foolishness.

# 2 - yes she is an Icon. But she is morbidly obese, and if she cares about her fans at all, she would start taking care of herself instead of killing herself. I for one do not care what kind of Diva she is, i would NOT want to sit next to her in a restaurant. I bet she breathes super heavy just using the energy to eat.

1. Jabba the Hutt is at home with Kelly!!!! Pissed off because Ellen beat her to the altar, imagine that! No doubt, spewing her poison on her blog to whomever will listen. Ellen seems to be a very nice person, Rosie on the other hand is a bitter, evil, foul liberal lesbo, who takes everything to the extreme. She is an embarassment to all lesbians and liberals alike.

Aretha is probably irritated that she's enjoying the day and your illegal immigrant non-speaking english photographers are hiding in bushes to get her picture. What's the matter, Britney's peeps & security banned you from being anywhere near the Summit!!!! LMFAO

C'mon people, she is F-A-T......

Have you seen her sing lately? She is terrible! She can't catch her breath, and she sweats like a hog in the summer.

Her health is out of control and she will DIE because she eats too much and gets no exercise.

Forget being PC, she is FAT and UNHEALTHY.... No disrespect, but that's tha facts.

Well it's not as low as when you insulted someone's dead mother, or made fun of someone who had just died... but it's still pretty low.

For one, she's old... she's rich... what does she care if she has gained weight?

Also... didn't TMZ say when they first started that they were better that those sleezy tabloids because they were going to deliver truthful and accurate news?

What happened to that? Now they're WORSE than those sleezy tabloids.

Their photogs know nothing about entertainment and usually don't know who they're even talking to, the editors of the new stories aren't very good at their job. (Waste as in garbage vs. waist as in just above your hips... they don't know the difference)...

and now this. This is news how? All this is, is a slightly unflattering photo of a musical icon that you're making fun of. How is this news? Or even entertainment?

Harvey Levin has gone from respected lawyer to a big joke. Congrats.

It's very sad to see her dying like this.
Obesity is an awful disease, which lots of people have.
Making fun of her isn't the right path. It just isn't.
This crap is going to kill her without some help. She doesn't need
more shaming.
