DIANA ROSS CHECKED UP ON MICHAEL JACKSON’S KIDS

How nice it is to hear that Diana Ross, who is named as an alternate guardian in Michael Jackson’s will, took the time to arrange a meeting with Michael’s kids to ascertain exactly what’s going on in that house. According to RadarOnline she had a talk with Prince, Paris, Blanket, and Katherine Jackson, and everybody got to tell their side of the story. Diana was satisfied and decided that she approves of the new custody agreement that puts Katherine and Tito’s son TJ in charge. She did make a point of giving all three children her cell phone number so they could reach her at any time. It’s nice to see a non-family member step up to the plate.

DIANA ROSS DOES HER OWN SHOPPING

Whenever we see Diana Ross lately she’s casually dressed in her favorite sweats. She’s a regular at the Bristol Farms market in Beverly Hills and today she was in a good mood. The only thing bigger than her smile is her hair. Diana will be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys this year, maybe then she’ll haul out the sequins.

FAMILY REUNION: DIANA ROSS’S KIDS ARE DOING ALL RIGHT

It’s fun to see the Diana Ross clan all together – none of the dads, but all the kids. The event for the family reunion was the opening of teacher Chudney Ross’s new shop called Books and Cookies in Santa Monica. It’s a children’s bookstore and cafe. From left: Rhonda Ross Kendrick (her daddy is Berry Gordy,) she’s holding her little boy Raif Kendrick, Ron Naess (daddy Arne Naess,) Chudney Ross, Tracee Ellis Ross (their daddy was Robert Ellis Silberstein,) Diana Ross, and Evan Ross (son of Arne Naess.)

ONE MAN’S OPINION: WHO’S THE BIGGEST DIVA – DIANA ROSS OR NAOMI CAMPBELL?

The question of “Who’s the biggest diva – Diana Ross or Naomi Campbell?” may finally have been answered – by someone who knows. Our intrepid gossip pal, CJ from the Star Tribune, spent some quality time with famous hairdresser to the stars, Oribe, and asked him that burning question about his clients. Keep in mind that both divas have demonstrated a criminal disdain for underlings. Oribe thought for moment and decided Diana Ross is “definitely” the bigger Diva. Considering what we know about Naomi’s horrifying tantrums, it really makes one recoil at the thought of Diana’s behavior. (Could it be that wigs and weaves make women feel more powerful and aggressive?)

DIANA ROSS CELEBRATED SON EVAN’S 22ND BIRTHDAY AT VOYEUR

It’s nice to see Diana Ross out and about – she celebrated her son Evan Ross’s 22nd birthday at Voyeur on Friday night. Evan, whose father is Norwegian businessman Arne Naess, chose to use his mother’s last name (like Melissa Rivers) because it has more clout in Hollywood. It must be working – he has a lingerie model girlfriend, Cora Skinner, (above) and roles in about five movies coming out this year.

EVAN ROSS LOOKS LIKE DIANA FOR A MINUTE

We were struck by this photo of Evan Ross, 20, because his expression is so reminiscent of his mother Diana Ross. He’s pictured here at pregnant Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett’s engagement party at Guys and Dolls. Evan is with his lingerie model girlfriend Cora Skinner – he was not denying rumors in April that they were secretly married, but it doesn’t seem to be true. He DOES, however, have five or six movies coming out soon.

DIANA ROSS GIVES HER AUDIENCE AN EYEFUL ONSTAGE

We feel obligated to run this glamorous photo of Diana Ross in concert at the Sinatra Theater in Florida because we run so many pictures of her without makeup, not looking her best. Usually she’s shopping in the supermarket or running errands in her sweats in Beverly Hills. Here she is in full Diana drag. By the way, she’ll be on tour through the summer, if you’re interested.
