    "When I got my divorce, the women jumped on me like white on rice! I said, 'Look, I ain't ever did fish, I don't intend to do fish so leave me alone.'" -- Patti LaBelle

    The legendary singer revealed her not-so-'New Attitude' toward the idea of girly action. She'd rather adopt dogs to combat loneliness.

    For those of you that clearly don't know..."fish" is a common term frequently used by gays when referring to women. Particularly to straight women.

    for the love of mike. i guess the people harping on the fish part would have prefered she'd said - "i don't like tacos" - but then that would have surely also been offensive for a whole nother reason. now wouldn't it? no, we couldn't just be satisfied that it was honest, straightforward, and used modern slang of someone one-quarter of her age, even if she didn't get it perfectly right. at least she knows it's about women and sexual preference and that it has nothing to do with cleanliness. go patti

    A divorce just means you get rid of a spouse, not change your sexual preferences.

    Patti, having a dog is great. Get one from a shelter so that you will save 2 lives and both of you will be grateful. A dog will be loyal forever, unlike some men. Now men, don't get your jock strap in a tangle. I said "some men". Fortunately, not all men are like Charlie Harper of Two and a Half Men.

    Oh Patti, you go, my Philly gal pal. It is nice to see a moral and beautiful starlet. Like you Oh, how I have been there and done that. You can make mine a cheesesteak with mushrooms and onions, girl. Saw Patti recently with BeBe Smith and on the Travel channel. Gal, you are mau-val-us! Thanks!

    What a sexist thing to say! Women only smell like fish "down there" if they don't shower. . . wonder what that says about Patti?

    I saw Patti on Emeril last week and she sang a little phrase while Emeril held the microphone.
    She is gorgeous and her voice is better than ever. Such control, right there on the spot and with a wonderful attitude. I've never really been a Patti laBelle fan per se' but you can bet that I am NOW! Patti, you're amazing, and a great role model for all women. (and I'm a man and musician)
    Your voice is one excellent God given gift! Thanks for helping me get these "blinders" off!
    God bless you,
    Frank X. B
