I heard there was a new Diana Ross gossip site. Looks kinda dead to me. Is this why all of you are still posting on Soulful Detroit? I heard Soulful Detroit is kind of dead. All of you are still debating over whether Mary Wilson should have been lead singer or what should have been the lead single from Silk Electric, YAWN. Glad to see you migrated over hear, dear.

If the gigs get any smaller 4 Diane or Mary perhaps they could be Uber drivers. Which Primette should drive me around. The one with a DUI who almost ran over a blind boy or the one who actually killed her kid driving by falling asleep? Go read Secrets of A Sparrow. Proceed with caution. Here are some reviews:
1. diana ross is blaming everyone else and praising herself. Mary Wilson was right, she only thinks about herself, I read both accounts.
2. Miss Ross has done it again! Total control of a manuscript that should have wound up in the trash. No insight into the friction between her and Florence Ballard, no historical anecdotes of the recording sessions, all this book is about is Miss Ross and her family. That's fine but most people want to read about her history with the Supremes and Motown and RCA records..It has a nice cover and will make your coffee table attractive until she writes something a little more informative keep your coffee mug on top of the book you won't need to buy a coaster.
3. Diana Ross, stung by all of the juicy insider gossip and unauthorized biographies, wanted to sit down and tell her own side of the tale. The only problem with that is, she took the word too literally. While she does give little-known family anecdotes and photographs, she manages to smooth over every negative aspect of anything without seeming to own up to her part in it, or even acknowledging that some fault (or bad judgment, youthful naivete, whatever) of hers even exists. She treats the late Florence Ballard's alcoholism like it was a character flaw, like she and Berry played no part in her eventual destruction. And when she brings up leaving Motown or the Supremes, she waxes rhapsody like it was just a learning experience and not an attempt at (music) world domination. The result is that she paints herself to be a saint and makes her mistakes look even worse, almost as if she thinks that people who followed her career, fans or not, are stupid enough to believe in her "innocence". By attempting to hide the ugly parts, Ms. Ross only magnifies her self-deluding tendencies and she takes absolutely no responsibility for her wrongdoings, something that she should be confident enough to do at this stage in life. But since she isn't, this book is nothing but a fairy tale. If you want the REAL deal, check out "Call Her Miss Ross" and read the quotation from her at the beginning. It sums up her attitude completely. Nice try, Diana
5. Ms. Ross should have put her ego asided and hired a good ghostwriter like David Ritz to tell her story. One of the most shallow autobiographies I've ever read
6. Not sinceJoan Crawford discussed gloves and caviar in her 1971 My Way of Life as a star inadvertently portrayed herself as so deeply shallow,pretentious, self-involved, and, I hate to say it, stupid. "I am an idea person in every area: films, stories, how things should look,"she tells us. "It’s another of my God-given gifts."Written by her alone, the book is a gassy, mind-numbing affair

That explains it.
All of the Diana Ross haters in this forum were banned from Soulful Detroit. In the future, forum software will have a built in list of IP addresses of deplorables who like to bash the Queen of Motown banning them from being signed up as members. It will also prevent any site that is a Diana Ross bash site. The Ultimate Icon needs to celebrated. Mary Wilson needs to be bashed . It may cost more money but it will save Administrators time and money. This site needs to be wiped and you start all over again.

Ooops, it seems i might have hit another nerve judging by your multiple replies... Well let me see...The only reason i took a look here. So I took a sneaky peak and found that indeed you had, although it appeared a pretty dead place. You are a naughty little monkey. So what has happened today in Diana Ross land then. Don't tell me...Diana threw a hot teabag at Tracee over the breakfast table while having a diva tantrum... LOL. It's strange most internet trolls are really quite boring with one sadonic post after another..... But you, your different. You have at times had me doubled up with laughter. Have you never considered comedy. Take it from me your a natural. Tee Hee Hee.

Diana Ross is a disgusting person and a mediocre singer. She should have completely retired 15-20 years ago. Most people in the U.S. thinks she has.

Diane stole Gene Simmons from Cher. She did Cher dirty.

It was Cher's 34th birthday. Gene Simmons didn't know what to buy Cher for her birthday.
"She knows what I like."

After they went shopping, Gene and Diana were an item. Cher made no public comment.
