NEW YORK (AP) -- Aretha Franklin won't be getting fitted for a wedding gown after all: She's called off her engagement.

In a statement released Monday, her representative said her wedding to Willie Wilkerson wasn't going to happen.

Franklin said things were moving too fast and "a number of things" had not been thought through.

She says she won't be commenting about it because of "the very personal and sensitive nature of it."

It's not clear if they are still a couple.

Franklin announced shortly after New Year's Day that she was getting married, and said she planned a wedding in either the Hamptons or Miami.

See what a few drinks will get u into?

Aretha

Something is definately up. They've been together for a long time and now all of a sudden, things are moving too fast???? Hmmmmm.

Only a matter of time.

Aretha come on.

It isn't the first time she's done this with Willie. They were supposed to marry back in '88.

Aunt ReRe trying to keep up with Kim Turdashian.

Maybe Aretha's been in touch with Sinead O'Connor?

Awww ReRe. Her ass know good and well Willie has BEEN all up in those big titties for years. Why she trying to keep him away from them now? Lawd. C'mon ReRe, let Willie play with them titties as usual. Stop acting brand new because he gave you a ring.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

Aretha is a hot ass mess. Every year she does something stupid.

On a serious note, how in the hell are you getting fitted for Vera Wang and Donna Karen gowns and now y'all "going too fast"? I smell bullshit and a bucket of chicken.

She might have found ole' Willie playing with another set of grapefruit titties and licking some pussy. You never know. She might have found out he was really "slick dick Willie".

Thing is they've been off and on for 25 years. If Aretha didn't get the message that Willie was doing something he shouldn't have been doing (and Aretha's played this role how many times already?), then why would she wait until deciding to take the plunge to suddenly find some things off?

Chile...isn't that the norm though? Isn't it until the woman FINALLY gets the ring that all of a sudden situations are being looked at for what they really are instead of what they thought it was?

I was thinking the same thing like it's almost automatic that once a woman finally decides to ties the knot that the skeletons come out of the closet? And again this wasn't Aretha's first engagement with Willie so apparently something happened to cause her to call it off - again.

OR maybe she knows what's up with Willie being that she's been with him all this time and just wants to do the companionship thing. Maybe she thought she could deal with a marriage with him, but thought about it and said that she couldn't. Who knows.

Maybe that's just it. She only sees him as a companion but why even go through all that trouble?

Miss Fee, if you GOT any sense, all you gonna do is SMELL that bucket of chicken. Do more than that and Aunt ReRe will cut you quicker than Imelda Marcos at a shoe sale.
