Hello Diva! Patti Labelle's (Alleged) Disgraceful Treatment of a Toddler

Patti Labelle might be in the market for a very good publicist.

Patti Labelle might be in the market for a very good publicist. According to ABC News, a lawsuit was filed on Monday by Kevin and Roseanna Monk, claiming that the legendary songstress flew into a rage, allegedly screaming at Roseanna Monk and throwing water on both Monk and her 18-month-old daughter. What prompted this extreme reaction? Apparently Labelle (who has five children of her own) didn't approve of the way Rosanna Monk was supervising her daughter, and didn't appreciate Monk's response, "Lady, mind your own business," when confronted by the songstress. The little girl was understandably petrified, throwing up, and crying hysterically, and is apparently now having trouble sleeping through the night.

Being a diva is one thing, but this sounds totally beyond the scope of normal human behavior — can't imagine Aretha pulling this type of stunt. Have you ever witnessed anything like this? What's the most inappropriate reaction to a toddler you've ever seen?

Her sheer blouse may have been the starting point for Mas Angelina's effortlessly chic look, but it's the combo of cool pieces that makes it so Fab. I love the juxtaposed femme, body-con mini and boyish oxfords — and I always adore a red lip.

Here's what she has on:

Blouse: Vintage
Vest: Topshop
Skirt: Topshop
Necklace: Diva
Turquoise Pendant: Forever 21
Shoes: Nine West

Congrats to Mas Angelina!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Disecting the Word "Diva"

Disecting the Word "Diva"

As I watched Paula Abdul, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, and Miley Cyrus perform on VH1's Diva show last night I kept thinking: what exactly is a diva?

As I watched Paula Abdul, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, and Miley Cyrus perform on VH1's Diva show last night I kept thinking: what exactly is a diva?

So I looked it up in the dictionary and found a variety of definitions. I discovered that the word "diva" is derived from the Italian word for a female deity, or goddess. It's also the word for a female opera singer. And here are some of the more commonly used definitions I found:

Diva:

  • an admired, glamorous, or distinguished woman
  • a haughty, spoiled woman

It seems to qualify as a diva you have to have some special mix of talent and eccentricity. Do you consider yourself a diva?

When women are assertive, decisive, or domineering, people tend to categorize them as difficult or diva-esque when really, oftentimes, they are simply just being strong willed.

When women are assertive, decisive, or domineering, people tend to categorize them as difficult or diva-esque when really, oftentimes, they are simply just being strong willed. For years, people tend to attach negative stigmas to those characteristics, but let's face it, we all have a little bit of sassiness in us that we have to let show every now and again!

In every television show, there's always a token ball busting female character to shake things up a bit, so ladies, who is your all time favorite TV diva?

Gwen Stefani is One Healthy Diva

Ever since her No Doubt days, I have been a fan of Gwen Stefani.

Ever since her No Doubt days, I have been a fan of Gwen Stefani. I always thought she got her smokin' bod from all that dancing she does on stage, but I had no idea she was a health-nut too. Be it health-nut diva who has a thing for the color white, a health-nut nonetheless.

Along with at least 30 bottles of assorted water (Fiji, Vitamin Water, Fruit Water), TMZ reported that she also has a rather long list of organic vegetables, fruits and other healthy items on her tour rider -- the list of "artist demands" for their backstage dressing room.

2- 3 Packs Silk "Very Vanilla" Soy Milk Individual Serving Sides
1- Hot Tea set up to include, Tea Kettle, Organic Honey, Spoons, Fresh Lemons, 1 Box Twinnings English Breakfast Tea - Decaffeinated, 1 Box Organic Peppermint Tea, and 1 Box Organic Chamomile Tea...
1- Organic selection of whole vegetables to include: 3 cucumbers, 1 bunch beets, 1 bunch organic carrots, 1 bag pre-washed spinach, 1 bunch flat leaf Italian parsley, 1 bunch celery (all must be organic)
1- Bowl of organic grown whole cashews
1- Bowl of organic grown whole almonds
1- Organic veggie tray with organic ranch dressing/dip
1- Organic fresh fruit tray - to include seasonal berries, melons, fruits, a tropical assortment also welcome
1- Organic fruit bowl - to include organic bananas, plums, apples and pears

It looks like while the rest of us may not be eating enough fruits and veggies daily, Gwen sure is. To see her full tour rider check out TMZ.com.
