And this is considered new news? All those who really pay attention to her personal life know how the "LEGENDARY" Miss Ross really get's down. A new book claims Diana Ross brought her kneepads with her to every meeting when she arrived at Motown records in the '60s. She made a beeline for Motown founder's Berry Gordy office and did whatever she needed to do to get ahead.
Mark Ribowsky author of The Supremes: A Saga of Motown Dreams, Success and Betrayal, which publishes this July, writes:
"The Diana Ross few knew outside of the Motown colony was on a fast track to rise to the top from the first day she got to Motown; not incidentally, that was also the first day she knew who[m] she wanted to sleep with to keep up the momentum. That, of course, turned out to be Berry Gordy, but only after" some other in-house romances, the book says. "In no time, Ross would climb beyond [the Supremes] onto the A-list as a solo act, record six more Number 1 songs, and earn millions as well as top billing in two movies."
She got a daughter (Rhonda Ross Kendrick, born in 1971) out of the relationship - so that locked Berry down, for sure, along with her now ex husband, who not only did she give him a couple kids, but didn't he buy her her own island? We all know is wasn't her slobation skills that got her all of the things she's wanted. We've all seen them teeth.
