Why she might be annoying:

    She is divorced.
    She smokes.
    When asked in the 80s why she didn't stop smoking, she said that her voice would probably change.
    She uses marijuana, saying it fights the chance of contracting glaucoma.
    She was arrested for carrying marijuana cigarettes in a lipstick case (2002).
    She used the 'I didn't know it was illegal' excuse.
    Her familiar name was actually caused by a typo on her first record, and she kept it (instead of her real last name, Warrick).
    For most of the mid 70s, she added an 'e' to the end of her name, from advice from a numerologist.
    She did informercials with the Psychic Friends Network.
    She sells off-quality shirts and perfume on her website.
    Very little of the profits made on 'That's What Friends Are For' actually went to support AIDS research, mainly to herself.
    When asked why she sent so little to charity, she responded 'Do you expect me to stay in a motel?'
    She was outraged when a white artist finally won a Grammy for best soul artist, saying the award belonged to the blacks.
    She defended O.J. Simpson.
    She has trouble speaking over her caps.
