Third annual Cartier 'Love' party  (06/18/09) Bel-Air

Diana Ross belts out a tune at the third annual Cartier “Love” party June 18 at Bill and Maria Bell’s Bel-Air home. The music-themed evening was a celebration of the jeweler’s charity “Love” bracelets, and its new roster of celebrity “Love ambassadors.”

The Real Dreamgirl ....Original Motown diva brings it ( from the WinnipegSun)

Eat your heart out, Dreamgirls.

Chalk it up to coincidence, but last night's concert hall show by former Motown sensation Diana Ross took place just one day after curtains fell on MTC's stage production of Dreamgirls, Broadway's "re-imagining" of the rise and fall (and rise again) of girl-group trailblazers The Supremes.


And even though Dreamgirls serves as a perfectly decent primer on Ross' early days (super-sappy showtunes notwithstanding), only the original diva herself could do justice to such an incredible career.


Lucky for the 1,700 fans in attendance last night, Ross -- looking impossibly well-preserved, and still capable of telegraphing a lifetime's worth of emotion just by batting her eyelashes -- did not disappoint, hitting all the right notes while showcasing tunes from both the Supremes' era and her later stint as a solo star.



Nor were fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Ross in all her glamour-girl splendour disappointed -- by our count, the singer managed to shoehorn six or seven costume changes into a show that barely lasted 80 minutes.

Oh, and did we mention the costume changes? After wrapping up Touch Me in the Morning and Love Hangover, Ross made a beeline backstage, leaving her ace seven-piece band to vamp until she returned in a gauzy white get-up to sing The Boss and It's My House.

Making her grand entrance in a gold-flecked red lame gown -- and an appropriately decadent red wrap -- Ross opened with her '80s megahit I'm Coming Out .....

Upside Down and Ease on Down the Road, then slipped into a risque peekaboo number for the jazz numbers Fine and Mellow and Don't Explain .....
 

Music legend Diana joins divas uniting for New York benefit

May 4th 2008 , Radio City Music Hall


Looking every inch the superstar in a head-turning scarlet gown, veteran Motown singer Diana was among those treating the audience to a selection of iconic numbers at the Sunday night concert

Motown superstar Diana Ross was back to doing what she does best this weekend, as she performed a selection of her greatest hits at a benefit concert in New York. The iconic Ain't No Mountain High Enough singer lead a roll call of big-hearted divas at the Big Apple's famous Radio City Music Hall.

Joining the music veteran at the Divas With Heart gig was fellow legend Gladys Knight. The Midnight Train To Georgia was clearly relishing her return to the spotlight, pointing victoriously to the cheering crowd and flashing a broad smile.

Also lending their star power to the event - which aimed to raise money for medical research - were multiple Grammy Award winner Chaka Khan and soul singer Patti LaBelle. Both of whom belted out renditions of their songs in true big-voiced diva style.
 

Diana Ross snubs media and fans ....
THE Diva herself, Diana Ross, used a magazine to hide her face from media photographers and fans who stood at the Crown Point International Airport waiting to greet her yesterday morning.

Ross, who headlined last night's opening of the Plymouth Jazz Festival at the Plymouth Recreation Ground, arrived on a private jet at around 10.30 a.m.

A five-car convoy, including police escort, quickly whisked her away in a grey Mercedes Benz.

Some disappointed fans were heard asking: "But why is she hiding her face?"

Last night's performance by Ross was her second at the event, billed by Forbes 500 as the "third Biggest Event in the World".

Last year, Ross' performance was cut short to accommodate that night's headliner, Mary J Blige, who had to leave Tobago to fulfill contractual arrangements in the US.

Whitney Houston, who is working on making a comeback into the music industry after years of marital problems and drug abuse, is expected to arrive on the island at around 7 p.m. tonight.
