Diana Ross To Visit ‘Oprah’ For First Interview With Family

CHICAGO, Ill. --

Diana Ross will make her first television performance in four years on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” later this month — and she’s bringing her family with her, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

In addition to performing, the “I’m Coming Out” singer and former Supremes legend will also sit down for her first-ever interview with all of her children and her grandson on Oprah’s February 25 episode.

Diana’s children who will be appearing on the show include Rhonda Ross Kendrick, “Girlfriends” actress Tracee Ellis Ross, Chudney Ross, Ross Arne Naess and Evan Ross. Diana’s first grandson, Raif Henok Emmanuel Kendrick, is her daughter Rhonda’s son with Rhonda’s husband, jazz musician Rodney Kendrick. He was born in August 2009.

The legend, whose career spans more than five decades, will take up the entire hour of Oprah’s show no doubt talking about going from her humble beginnings in Detroit to international superstar and icon.

She is currently on the “Now” tour.

Other guests to appear on Oprah this month include Celine Dion, who will visit on Feb. 21, and the winners at the Oscars, who will stop by her show, which tapes from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Feb. 28.

In related news, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has canceled his interview with Oprah over what he told the talk show host were “personal reasons,” per The Hollywood Reporter.

“We did a field trip with him. We had been shooting with Michael Vick. And the fact that he pulled out and all his people…” Oprah told THR. “We move on.”

Oprah wont’ have time to dwell though, the spot is now being filmed by David Arquette, his first post-rehab interview. The interview with David will air on Feb. 24.

She found a way to bring "him" up on her show today with Celine Dion so there is no chance that she wont when Ms Diana Ross is on.

Well shit, y'all can't stop bringing you know who up...why should Oprah be any different?

If I can remember I'll record it but yeah, Oprah will bring "him" up one way or other. That's part of Oprah's job as well . . . keep it real.

Yeah lol

I just want to see old girl sing "Surrender" with a big nappy afro wig and blue eye shadow.

I'll be watching this just to see Chudney.

Michael Vick

I will tuned in on Friday for the show. You know Oprah will ask her about Michael. The same questions she asked anyone attached to Michael at one time.

Did you know about his drug problem?

Where were you when you heard about his death?

Did you know you were second choice as guardian for his children?

Did you witness any inappropiate behavior with children by Michael?

Of course the real question Oprah should ask 'Were you and Michael ever lovers?"

I predict another softball interview.

BINGO! Or...

"A lot of people may not know this, but Diana Ross helped discover the Jackson 5ive! Where were you when you heard about Michael's passing?"

I'm sure Harpo WILL turn it into a Michael Jackson event...

Cant wait.

Will be nice to see Tracee as well....that's my girl.

I've been waiting for this episode all week. I love seeing Diana with all her kids.

I am because it's Diana Ross.

I really want to watch it.

But I don't think my cringe block mechanism can handle Oprah's fake ass any longer.

Oprah's fakeness is becoming more apparent every time I watch her. That being said, I wanna see if Diana would snap her neck at her like Whitney but I doubt it since Diana's from the "Motown school of grooming" and all. I wanna see her grandson.

I wont be home when it airs, so I will have to catch clips of it online of it later. Daprettyman posted a pic of them on Oprah's set in another thread, so Imma just borrow it to post in this thread Thanks Daprettyman!
