Etta James Slams 'Great' Beyonce, 'Big Ear' Obama

If Etta James has her way, Beyonce is gonna "get her a** whipped."

The 71-year-old singer is lashing out at the R&B diva for singing "her song" At Last at President Obama's Neighborhood Inaugural Ball last month.

"You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president," James told a cheering crowd at a Seattle concert last week.

"You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song? She gone get her a** whipped."

Etta James has some fierce words for the "Great Beyonce."

The digs at Beyonce - who stars as James in the new movie Cadillac Records - didn't stop there.

"The great Beyonce...But I can't stand Beyonce," James proclaimed. "She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day...singing my song that I've been singing forever."

James may "at last" feel better now that she's finally revealed how she really feels about Beyonce. She was all smiles posing with her at the November premiere of Cadillac Records.

Tom Brady Decides It's Time To 'Tackle' Marriage

Gisele Bundchen is getting ready to strut her stuff down a different kind of catwalk....

The supermodel just accepted a proposal from Tom Brady.

Brady - who famously ditched then-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan while she was pregnant with their son - popped the question on Christmas Eve on a private jet en route to Boston.

Gisele's parents were there, along with four dozen white roses and champagne.

(And we thought Gisele was the one who wore the pants in the relationship!)

The happy (???) couple out for a stroll.

Surprisingly, the injured QB had time in his busy schedule of running Gisele's errands, walking her dog and, oh yeah - resting his bum knee to pick out a ring.

Move Over Obama, D.C.'s Got A New Neighbor

Come January, Barack Obama may not be the only new neighbor.

Obama's #1 Fan and fellow Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey is looking for a new home in the Nation's Capital.

Will D.C. become one of Oprah's Favorite Things?

Oprah apparently has her multi-billion dollar eye on a nine-bedroom Georgetown mansion.

(Those Georgetown hills will be great for her New Year's Resolution to lose some of that extra weight.)

The house, listed at $50 million, is a drop in the bucket compared to the $2.5 billion she's worth.

Insiders tell the NY Post the Talk Show Queen "has never personally been to see it."

Maybe she's waiting 'til inauguration?

Will Brad Pitt Star in the 'Sex and The City' Sequel?

If one Sex and The City actor gets his way, Brad Pitt will be starring in the sequel.

Mario Cantone (aka Charlotte's gay BFF Anthony) says he thinks the Ocean's 11 star would be a perfect match for his character.

"Brad Pitt gave $100,000 for the gay marriage law, so he should play my boyfriend in the sequel," Cantone quips.

Brad and Anthony: New couple alert?

But don't go putting all of your Manolos in a Dior-designed basket just yet -- the sequel isn't official.

Sarah Jessica Parker says the deal hasn't been finalized, but that she and writer Michael Patrick King will "have that conversation sooner rather than later."

And if the script ends up turning into Speed 2 or Legally Blonde 2 (ie: some of the worst sequels ever made), SJP says she'll pull the plug.

"It's all about the story. If we can't tell a story that's really worthy of an audience, then we won't do it," the actress said during the DVD launch party.

Even if the sequel doesn't end up happening, fans can still hold out hope for a SATC prequel!

Diddy Gets Grounded - But Not in a Good Way

And you thought you were taking a hit from the bad economy...

Just be thankful you're not Diddy.

High gas prices have gotten so bad for the millionaire rap mogul, he's had to stop using his private jet. (Tragic, I know)

P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy, Sean John, Sean Combs, whatever you want to call him (I prefer His Spoiled Overrated Highness, myself) has stooped so low, he has to - GASP - fly commercial!

Thankfully for us, Diddy documented his spiral to peasanthood on YouTube.

"Even your boy is being affected by gas prices! Can you believe this? I'm actually flying commercial!" Diddy whines. "I'm back on American Airlines right now. OK? Your boy Diddy right now is on American Airlines."

So Diddy's taking the matter into his own hands -- by begging his "Saudi Arabian brothers and sisters" to send him some oil, preferably in a gold-plated barrel.
