Somebody get Ms. Labelle into some Anger Management Classes!

Just goes to show that most of the artists I once loved and respected are monstrous divas on huge ego trips. Whitney won't do up her seat belt on an airplane, is rude to her fans and smoked away her voice. Dionne Warwick called someone a hussy and belittled a deaf woman on national television. Patti LaBelle throws tantrums, disrespects her fans and assaults people. What the heck?

Major success = Guaranteed insanity.

It's tough when your divas behave badly. It's really hard to listen to the beautiful music without thinking how nasty the person can be. But there are plenty who DO have great reputations, and one can enjoy COMPLETELY, the music and the person. Olivia Newton John, Julie Andrews, Dolly Parton, Marie Osmond, Carol Burnett, Telma and Joyce, etc...
