Everyone calm down. All K-V claimed was that this month's featured artists would be divas. That would imply a generalized theme, not a promise to list every female artist who could ever have been described as a Diva. Stop being such Diva's or you'll have to add to your complaints that YOU are not featured here. Lol.
