Aretha Franklin has caught wind of Beyoncé's lip-synched 'Star Spangled Banner," and isn't quite as shady with her reaction as you might think. So, what does the diva to end all divas have to say about Bey Bey's controversial (it must be a slow news week) performance?

Thanks to professional lip readers, we now know what lowdown lame punchline rolled out of John Boehner's mouth that turned Michelle Obama into Liz Lemon. Meet us after the break for the big reveal.

The New York Times is breaking homo hearts left and right this morning with a report that reveals the performance dubbed by the Illuminati as the greatest ever in the history of all time was a hoax. Or something like that. 

And. We. Die.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season V doesn't even kick off for another freakin' week, but we at least have the best (sorry, Bey, Kelly and President O's historic speech) moment from the entire inauguration day to tide us over: the First Lady schooling every single hunty on the planet with a Level 10 eye roll. The target? Speaker of the House John Boehner. 

President Obama's gay-heavy speech was certainly a show stopper, but Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson may have stolen the show. Videos of their respective performances after the break!

Brian Brown, puppet for the Vatican's anti-gay motives, regurgitates his anti-civil-rights talking points in an unsurprisingly shrill reaction to President Obama's second inauguration. Prepare your eyes for rolling and follow the jump for your daily dose of asshattery. 

A historic moment in American history just took place on the steps of the Capitol as President Obama referenced Stonewall and marriage equality in his second inauguration speech. 

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Instincters!What better way to celebrate than by watching President Obama's second inauguration? Follow the jump for the White House's live web broadcast of the ceremony. 

First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated her 49th birthday on Thursday by debuting a bold and youthful new hairstyle. The hairstyle made its mark in a history books-worthy photo of the First Lady meeting with inauguration citizen co-chair Ssgt. David Hall, the Air Force pilot who was discharged under DADT. 

Vanity Fair called it compared it to Taylor Swift's trademark banged 'do, but what do you think, Insitncters? Heart it or hate it?

President Obama continues to make his second inauguration a welcoming place for all Americans in the selection of former Air Force SSgt. David Hall, a veteran who was discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," as citizen co-chair.

Pastor Louis Giglio has reportedly removed himself from giving the benediction at President Obama's second inauguration. Apparently, reports that were uncovered on Wednesday detailing Giglio's homophobic history were enough to send him packing.

Check out his letter of resignation and the Presidential Inaugural Committee's response after the jump!

President Obama's choice of pastor for the inaugural prayer may be about as bigoted as they come, but at least the venue hosting the event is making headlines for a very pro-LGBT decision.
