Video Description:
Hello on this Friday, February 15 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update.
"The Great Debaters" took top honors at last night's NAACP Image Awards. The film, starring and directed by Denzel Washington grabbed four awards including best motion picture. Washington scored best actor and his co-star Jurnee Smolett took best actress. Denzel Whitaker was honored with best supp
orting actor. But it was Janet Jackson who took best supporting actress for " Why Did I Get Married." In TV, Tyler Perry's "House of Paine" took the trophy for best comedy and "Grey's Anatomy" won best drama. "Ugly Betty" stars also did well with America Ferrera taking best actress in a comedy and
Vanessa Williams winning best supporting actress. And in the music category, Alicia Keys won best female artist and former "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks took best new artist. Special honors also went to Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and actress Rubie Dee. Britney Spears' family is holding
onto control of her finances for now. A Los Angeles court reportedly extended her father's role as co-conservator yesterday...that means he'll share control with an attorney over her estimated 100 million dollar fortune. Her brother Bryan has also been ordered to monitor her day to day spending, in
cluding her food, medicine and psychiatric treatment. Beyonce's Dad is firing back at Aretha Franklin following her comments about his daughter. Matthew Knowles called Franklin's remarks at the Grammy's "ridiculous." Franklin was reportedly upset that Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as the queen du
ring the pairs' performance at the awards ceremony. Franklin has long been referred to as The Queen of Soul. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has tied the knot. The singer reportedly married his longtime girlfriend singer Nicole Appleton on Thursday. It was apparently a secret wedding. There's no wor
d on any of the details. The pair have been together 8 years and have a six year old son named Gene. That's all for now. Be sure to check out today's weekly wrap up from the white house on upi.com.

How can House of Paine win? It is the type of minstrel show that would make a REAL comedian like Bill Cosby vomit?

Although we all reserve the right to say what ever we feel, I think Beyonce was trying to get something started, knowing that Aretha has been called the Queen Of soul for years.

Tina Turner & Aretha Franklin are both TRUE LEGENDS! -Aretha may have been "Originally" called the..."Queen Of Soul", But everyone knows, (Even Aretha Knows Herself)..., that Tina is **Far Too Talented** to (ever) be "Limited", or "Restricted" to only [one] genre. Tina can wear whatever "Title or Crown" she wants. Tina can even "Strut" with it on! :-) I'll give "Re-Re" her "Props" -for "Soul", & no disrespect to "Re-Re" or her fans, But Tina Turner Is (Hands Down) "THE QUEEN OF ALL MUSIC".
