ross

From the house, MISS ROSS came OUT at the GRAND RE-OPENING of the Kings Theatre. In the audience? NYC Mayor de Blasio; Natalie Cole; Gordon Chambers; Rhonda Ross; Miss Ross' first husband Bob Silberstein (father of Tracee Ellis Ross and Chudney Ross); Art Thompson; and all my DIANA tribe members. WAS TOO EXCITED to experience the show with my nephew, his first ROSS extravaganza, which capped off with "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" on which Rhonda Ross joined her mom with an ad-lib plus Ross' son Evan Ross joined her with his new wife Ashlee Simpson who is pregnant with Miss Ross' third grandchild.Ashlee's son joined them on the stage as well - dancing with Miss Ross whose ex-stepchild Leona Naess, Evan and Ross' sister via thier late father Arne Naess, was also in attendance. Miss Ross will tour this final leg of her IN THE NAME OF LOVE 2014-15 tour throughout February. Then, she’ll jump into rehearsals and relocation for here mini-residency in April at The Venetian in Las Vegas - http://www.venetian.com/ - THE ESSENTIAL DIANA ROSS: SOME MEMORIES NEVER FADE. #endlesslove
