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?

Oprah Winfrey brought both Stedman Graham and Gayle King to the opening gala for Tyler Perry's new movie and TV studio in Atlanta on Saturday night. While Oprah is dealing with a defamation lawsuit from the former headmistress of her South African Girls school, it was the history-making event that had Oprah so emotional. Tyler is the first African-American to own his own studio and there were a few tears in the crowd as he took the stage to announce that he's named three sound-stages after the legendary actors Ruby Dee, Cecily Tyson and Sidney Poitier. Sidney was there to accept the honor, saying, "I spent 56 years making movies and this is the reward that I have that means the most to me." With a supportive crowd including Will Smith, John Legend and many others, it was truly an event worth celebrating.

Leighton Meester reaped one of the more fashionable benefits of starring on Gossip Girl, posing with Donatella herself at the Versace Menswear Launch at Barneys in NYC yesterday — get Leighton's look here. Donatella left her adorable furry friend at home for the event and seemed to be more interested in weighing in on Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's new baby. She hasn't met little Nahla yet, but is already making predictions about her beauty, saying, "I cannot imagine a better looking baby than this one." Maybe Donatella will have the whole family over soon — just don't expect it to be at the Versace villa in Lake Como.

Mary J. Blige celebrated her new album, Growing Pains, in a giant fur coat and with friends last night in NYC. Her husband Kendu was by her side on the red carpet. She was keeping her fabulous figure all covered up to keep warm, but we all know what a hot bod she's rocking underneath all that white fur. She's obviously looking fab, but it turns out that Mary J. is a woman after my own heart. She recently talked about how much she hates working out even though it's a necessary evil. True that.
