Bam!!! Ms. Ross shopped for groceries looking  just like the rest of us regular folks! Can you believe that?!! It wouldn’t be so surprising if we were talking about someone like Whoopi Goldberg or Rosie O’Donnell, who are not necessarily known to be the dress-up type. But we’re talking about the “Reach Out And Touch” Motown Queen, herself, who is known for rockin’ the big hair, freshly done makeup, and sequined gowns every time she steps out.

The only thing she didn’t do was camouflage her signature big hair, which made folks do double takes as they rolled past her cart on the soft drinks isle (okay we made that soft drink isle thing up, but you get where we’re coming from). There was one reminder that Ms. Ross was still in full effect as the  Queen- she had a store employee roll her basket out and load her car trunk for her, but of course she gave the woman a hefty tip for her troubles. I guess we can’t ask Diana to completely hang up her diva status, now can we?


All in all it’s refreshing to see that after more than 100 million records sold, 70 top hit singles, and more awards and accolades throughout her 56 year career than we can count,  that Diana Ross is still down to earth on so many levels. By the way at 71, she’s just as sexy as she ever was, no makeup and all. By the way, we can’t wait to see her on Empire (if Lee Daniels and the rest of the execs can close that deal) Get ’em Ms. Ross!
