Aretha Getting Fit To Get Married

Aretha Franklin and long time boyfriend Willie Wilkerson are finally going to tie the knot next month. She was spotted in NYC with him. When asked why she was there she said, “I’m getting fitted for a gown.”

According to Starpulse.com she has signed up with Jenny Craig to loose weight for her wedding. I’m at 1,750 calories a day and I’m starving. You just have to get used to portions and changing your lifestyle. No offense Ms. Franklin but portions? Clearly she is saying she never cared. And I wouldn’t either. Money and a man! And you’re famous. Her weight hasn’t stopped her so why stop eating? But those pictures are going to be all over the world so I think she wants to change.

She told Sister 2 Sister magazine that she had lost 23 or 24 pounds to begin with and it was a strain which is why she got off of it. Then she went on, It's a strain because you're eating the Jenny Craig-type meals, which are very good. But you can only eat them for so long before you want some barbecue ribs or some pigs feet. Once you get off that Jenny Craig thing and you start eating what you've been eating, it’s all over.
