I feel old now, after reading the rest of this thread. I saw them (yes, the real Supremes) live, in 1967 I think.

30. Get OUT!!
I would have killed to see The Supremes (Diane, Mary and Florence) live.

I saw the Supremes in 1974 (Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong and Scherrie Payne), Florence Ballard was there too.

6. "gay men"
Yeah, I've hung around so many gay men that now Diana Ross is forever linked in my mind that way.

11. Wow!
That's a twist.

I liked that movie. One of the best over acted performance of it's time.

14. Honestly - and it's kind of a long story
but I think of Phish tour and a guy named Larry who took a crap shaped like an 'L' which was named the 'signature Doodie' and was filmed as part of a documentary that another friend was making about Phish tour. He showed it in his film class at Brown, and Diana Ross' daughter was in the class. She was so repulsed by the image of Larry's signature Doodie that she left the classroom in disgust.

38. If ever there was a perfect opportunity....
to post that story, this was it ! I laugh every time I read it !
FWIW, there was a pic on the net a few years ago, and I'm sure it's still out there somewhere, of the Nike doody ! It was a perfect doody shaped nike logo ! It couldn't happen to a better company !

19. Same here
I think because of Robin Williams. "Honey, you gotta pick a race first...You *were* Diana Ross, now you've left it all behind!"

31. Don't you feel safer?
What a joke that whole trial was.

But to her hard core (and batshit crazy) fans, you should have been honored she was fucked up drunk on your streets.

36. I'll always think of her as "That bug-eyed bitch!"
As far as eyes go, her daughter, Tracy Ellis Ross from the show Girlfirends, looks just like her!
