		<description>I don&#039;t disagree that brands must protect themselves like a fighting tiger. However, in this particular case I think this diva made a bit of a mistake. 

For some weird reason, ego&#039;s are allowed, veneered and respected in the entertainment industry EXCEPT when they are bragged on personally; like Aretha just did. 

In my opinion, she should have kept her mouth shut. It&#039;s not like people would love her ANY less for &quot;this&quot; (which I don&#039;t even see the big situation)..

but hey, maybe she needed some PR..</description>
