Perhaps fearing that there’s a new gay icon in a town that’s already at capacity with herself, Barbra Streisand, and Madonna, Bette Midler criticized Littl’ Bit Ariana Grande for making “a whore” out of herself. She made the comments in an interview with the Telegraph, figuratively plowing into today’s singing starlets.
It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. I mean, it’s silly beyond belief and I don’t know who’s telling her to do it. I wish they’d stop. I wish they’d stop. But it’s not my business, I’m not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that’s what you’ve got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold…Trust your talent. You don’t have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead. You really don’t. (Via)
Grande responded the only way she knows how: by referencing The First Wives Club.

She also wrote, “Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! not sure where that Bette went but i want that sexy mermaid back!!! always a fan no matter what my love.” The sexy mermaid responded.
About my screed on @ArianaGrande , all I can say is, "Spoken like a reformed old whore! She does have a beautiful voice, on a couch or off."

I think Bette Midler wants to f*k Ariana Grande? That’s the glory of love.
