Looking like your aunt from Massapequa, Long Island getting ready to board the Greyhound to Atlantic City, Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin -- and her toe growth -- checked out of a NYC hotel on Tuesday.

The 67-year-old living legend was headed down to the Kentucky Derby.

Here's 66-year-old Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin (left) at a concert in NYC this weekend -- and the infamous Kool-Aid Man (right).

One of them is known for bursting through walls.

Rolling with an entourage of six large gentlemen last night at The Ivy, it's easy to see how some people would consider Aretha Franklin a diva -- and by "some people," we mean the staff at "Dancing with the Stars."

The Queen of Soul is set to perform on the show tonight, but sources there tell TMZ Aretha has quite the list of demands. Among them, we're told Aretha has requested the air conditioning be turned off whenever she sings and we're also told she was adamant about switching up her song at the last minute ... but even if it is "diva" behavior, does it really matter?
Note to "DWTS" staff -- she's ARETHA FRANKLIN. She can do whatever the hell she wants.
Now somebody go get her a big mac.

Aretha Franklin must have seen TMZ TV the other night. She ditched the Big Mac for a Mac-intosh...as in apple.

Ms. Aretha also made it clear....the feud with Beyonce is on baby! You'll recall Beyonce has called Tina Turner "The Queen" of music and not Aretha. Yesterday in DC, Aretha had some choice words back for "Beyonce Who?"

Aretha Franklin had a mid-day itchin' for two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

The Queen of Soul's ride was spotted under the Golden Arches in D.C. yesterday, and although she didn't go in, our McSpies say someone in her crew made a food run for a Big Mac & fries combo. The details on the drink are sketchy -- she either had an orange drink or an iced coffee. Either way, it was delicious.
No word on if Aretha Super Sized the meal.

PETA is trying to help out Aretha Franklin with that whole foreclosure mess she's in. The animal rights group has written a letter to the fur-ocious Queen of Soul offering to pay her $19,000 tax bill if she promises to never wear fur again and donate her unwanted furs to PETA - like Mariah Carey and Kim Cattrall have done.

Aretha should know, fur is definitely out of fashion. Hasn't she seen all those shots of Paris and Britney getting out of cars?

The craptabulous photos were mighty tasty this week in the Thirty Mile Zone! Joan Van Ark showed off her "I fell asleep in an ashtray" face, Kiefer Sutherland slipped into an orange one-piece, Aretha Franklin made a curtain call, fallen "Idol" Jessica Sierra finally got clean (sorta), and an identified flying Suri landed in Hyde Park.

Don't ya love these holiday photos?! Check out the snaps from two weeks ago! They're still fresh!

Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin turned up at the Kennedy Center Honors in D.C. on Sunday, wearing the curtains from the White House music room!

Sporting "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" makeup, the 65-year-old living legend was draped in an unnatural amount of yellow fabric!
Say a little prayer!
