Diana Ross to mentor American Idol.


January 17, 2007 Associated Press


NEW YORK – Diana Ross says she's a busy woman these days. So busy, in fact, that she hasn't had time to see the hit film Dreamgirls, which is loosely based on her life as a Motown starlet.
The singer told CBS Late Show host David Letterman on Tuesday that she is going to be a mentor on Fox's American Idol and is planning a world tour in March to promote her new album, I Love You.


Ross said she didn't see the musical version of Dreamgirls, either.
When Letterman asked her if she was curious about the film, Ross joked: "Yes, I've heard a lot about it. I'm going to see it with my lawyers."

The film, which won a Golden Globe for best musical or comedy at the awards show Monday, tells the story of a Motown trio similar to the Supremes and their rise to fame. Eddie Murphy won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor, and newcomer Jennifer Hudson, a former American Idol contestant, won for best supporting actress.


Ross went on to say that she's heard there is a lot of her image and likeness in the movie. (Beyonce Knowles' character, Deena Jones, looks a lot like Ross during her early solo days.)
"What I would like to do is to be able to see it," Ross said. "I like to inspire the talent that it is out there today."

Diana Ross makes TV appearances to support new CD


Diana Ross makes TV appearances to support new CD

Former Supreme to begin media blitz for album 'I Love You' as interest in group surges.
Susan Whitall / The Detroit News

Don't look now, but after several quiet years, the Supreme diva is emerging from her cocoon.
On Tuesday, Detroit's own "Dreamgirl" -- Diana Ross -- will be appearing on "Good Morning, America," which airs from 7--9 a.m. on WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) in Detroit, and "Live with Regis & Kelly" at 9 a.m., also on WXYZ-TV.

That night, she'll be the musical guest on the "Late Show with David Letterman." Later in the month, at 10 a.m. on Jan. 26, Ross will appear on "The Martha Stewart Show," and on Feb. 19, she will be James Lipton's special guest on "Inside the Actors Studio" on Bravo (exact time to be announced).

Ross is embarking on the media blitz to support her new album "I Love You" (Manhattan), which hits stores and online retailers on Tuesday.
It's a bit of synchronicity, for interest in Ross' group of origin, Motown's Supremes, has picked up recently with the success of the film "Dreamgirls," starring Beyonce (as the Ross-like "Deena") and Jennifer Hudson.

Peter Asher produced nine of the tracks and Steve Tyrell did five on "I Love You," which is a collection of some of Ross' favorite songs about love, including "I Want You," a song co-written by her brother T-Boy Ross, for Marvin Gaye; "More Today Than Yesterday," the uptempo '60s hit by one-hit wonder Spiral Starecase; "To Be Loved," the '50s ballad written by Berry Gordy Jr.; and Paul McCartney's "I Will," among others.

Apart from "Dreamgirls," interest in Ross' music has also increased since Motown's well-received release last year of "Blue," an album of jazz standards recorded in 1971 and '72, as a companion to the soundtrack to Ross' movie, "Lady Sings the Blues."

Diana Ross and Mary Wilson ????? Just fiction!!


THE SCENE AND HEARD

A Las Vegas reunion of Supremes stars Diana Ross and Mary Wilson? I hear rumblings that it's being discussed, with the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood as a possible venue. Wilson, who moved to Henderson about five years ago to be close to her grandchildren, is working on several projects, and a Las Vegas show makes sense. Wilson and Sheryl Lee Ralph, who played the original Dena Jones in Broadway's "Dreamgirls," recently had dinner in Las Vegas. Jones' character was based on Ross. ...

As confirmed by the agent of Miss Ross this is pure fiction!!
