ARETHA FRANKLIN CALLS OFF ENGAGEMENT

Aretha Franklin has called off her engagement to fiance William Wilkerson … just three weeks after announcing their plans to get married this summer. Franklin has gushed about the engagement since New Year’s Eve and even chose a wedding gown designer. Somewhere between dress fittings and cake tastings, she’s changed her mind. In a joint statement, Franklin and her fiancé say: “Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time. We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends. Aretha & Will”. It’s not clear if they plan to remain a couple.
