Should be Miss Ross "has" no current releases.....
Yes I believe Carlo is the webmaster, and I'm sure he posted what he was told to post on Mary's site. Carlos is a good guy and he's fair.
The sad part of all of this is that all the posters above like Mary Wilson a lot and treasure the role she played in the Supremes. And they end up having to appear that they are anti Mary; and generally they are not. Poor Mary had to post on her website to stop Marv from beating on and bullying Diane; Poor Mary has to have her security make sure they keep her at a distance from him. And to top it all off, it's putting the final nail in the coffin of anything positive in terms of a Supremes reunion; he and a few other bitter, fowl mouthed people who live on the Net and spend there time ass kicking the Supremes. All such a shame.
Such drivel about somebody with a $40 million dollar house; I offered Diane $18 m and she declined me.
Whats wrong with playing "Indian" Casinos?The ones I've been to in Fla. are nice.When I saw Diana Ross last year, it was at the King Center in Melbourne a very nice venue that seats 2,500. & was sold out .
Nothing is wrong with playing the Indian Casinos, it's a pay check that I'm sure a lot of entertainers wished they could get booked into. It's really a shame to have to slam one to up lift the another when it come to the Supremes. They were all talented. I'm just glad they are still around performing in any capacity at this time in their lives.
"In addition, minority bashing is not an attractive trait."
Right. Please stick to bashing Republicans and Tea Party people [[read: white people).
I realized this morning that when Miss Ross tours and gets all these glowing reviews, when she is on Oprah or gets awards..........some people get jealous. Good Lord. And they start the online bashing and negativity.
Something else to consider; in Canada, the word "Indian" is treated very much the way the word "Negro" is in the United States; it is associated with another time and different ways and its usage is frowned upon. For those that go looking for such things, it is considered "racist" and a sign of prejudice.
Now, that doesn't exist here does it?
Well, I was born in Ohio and we have this baseball team that's been around since 1894 called "The Cleveland Indians"! You should go here and write them and tell them how bad they are for having that name all these years. Tell them you are a Diana Ross fan and you just don't like it...........!

Thank you Rod_Rick.
Yes, I am Mary's webmaster. This is something I don't particularly like to discuss because I'm the type of person who prefers to keep things as private as possible. I don't like when people flaunt themselves, so I prefer to stay under the radar. However, I would like to address some inaccuracies. I only add the information I am given. Mary did in fact win the Golden Halo Lifetime Achievement, so if an article says something else, I really have no idea why. Perhaps the article you guys are sourcing got the facts wrong? I only posted the information that was given to me.
Also, the blog that you guys are referring to with the photo of Cher in Vegas is NOT maintained by me. I have no involvement with that whatsoever. I take great pride in paying attention to detail, so I wouldn't have accidentally posted a photo of Cher. Never in a million years. This was something I did bring to the blog owner's attention, but it has not been changed/removed.
Thank you Marv, Rod_Rick and atcsm.
Carlo
Like I said you are one of the GOOD GUYS here. Thank you for clearing that up with the Halo award.
Keep up the good work.
btw the picture the some are referring regarding the arena shot is not on WWW.MARYWILSON.COM
Carlo - that is good to know that you are the webmaster of her site. You do a great job. And if I'm correct, you are pretty young so your knowledge and respect of all of the Supremes is admirable.
The only reason the Halo award was brought up is because someone posted that she had won it. Since most people aren't aware of this award, there was probably a lot of google searches. Someone found this article http://losangeles.broadwayworld.com/...wards_20101023
that tells a different story. Broadwayworld.com is a reputable sight and this article was posted a few days after the awards ceremony. The article has photos of the event and mentions that Mary was a presenter and she is shown in a group shot. Now in this new internet age, it is possible to fake anything so this may be bogus. Nobody is attacking you. There was just a lot of discussion about it because of one person claiming it to be true. I'm sure that Mary and Diana are proud to have you as one of their fans.
There's been a movement out there for a couple of decades trying to get teams with Native American nicknames to change as many considered it very offensive. The most objectionable being the Washington Redskins. The movement has had some success on the collegiate level, but not on the professional major league level.
I posted the info about the Lifetime Achievement Award from Mary Wilson's website in response to this comment made by Jobeterob:
"This kind of garbage is another example of why the Supremes story is holding less and less interest and why they are unable to attract anything like a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys or anyone else ~"
Next time I looked up Bayouman and the boys had jumped all over it and claiming I made that up. All that commotion really did was to once again illustrate to the general population here that there is a small group of troublemakers looking to create fights over nothing at all. That is all that was accomplished by all that blather..........
Marv
Yeah right! On my Ohio Birth Certificate they have me listed as "Colored". So good luck to whomever thinks they are going to get the Cleveland Indians to change their name! They may have better luck getting "The 500 Nations Indian Casinos Supersite" http://500nations.com/Indian_Casinos.asp and "Indian Casinos.com" http://www.indiancasinos.com/ to change their names! This is where all this additional bullcrap came from all in the feeble attempt to make Diana Ross look good! I mean actually trying to make out that I made up a derogatory term, "Indian Casinos" when that is what they call themselves!!!!
Give me just a little break!
Thank you very much guys. :) Thank you for your kind words.
One other thing I forgot to mention is that I also do not manage the mailing list that is linked to the website. Someone else manages that. I'm only the messenger, I do what I'm told.
atc--being new here u may want to observe who the real bullies are here and it aint marv--unless u already came in with an agenda. Ralph will only tolerate so much of this.
no agenda - just observations.
Have you ever threatened physical violence on this board?
You must be asking that to Marv! Nah, many years ago he used to threaten us with he'd go tell Mary. But then somebody told Mary on him.
Somebody asked "one of those questions".....................and Marv don't like Diane; she either ran off to LA and left him [[and Mary, although she doesn't care anymore) or she turfed him unpleasantly and publicly from a concert.
Tain't neither here nor there though.....................the various Supremes generally carry on, living, eating, playing with the grandkids, singing here or there and coping.
Generally, life goes on
Threatened to tell Mary on you? I thought you were like well over 50 years old? What was Mary suppose to do, spank you? Tell Mary on me? HA! [[and I will leave it at that!). You guys need to get a grip and start acting your ages. I , nor Mary has time for your foolishness so try to stick to the subjects of the threads and stop personally attacking each other. You've been attacking me for years and what has it gotten you? Nothing! I don't even know you. You make up these "dream stories" about what Diana Ross has done to me. I don't know how you can make your mind come up with this stuff, but it has become way past boring to me after reading it now for years. If you only knew how ridiculous you sound, you would be very embarassed right now and falling all over yourself to apologize to me and this forum.
Unfortunately, I am not in a position or authorized to say all that I want to say that could shut you up permanently about these "subjects" you seem to not be able to avoid creating. I will give you this much for you to chew on Jobeterob. Anyone telling you anything even remotely regarding the things you just posted above, is flat out lying to you to keep you where they want you to be........[[read between lines because I am not going waste anymore time on this part again.)
Marv
I think Diana should have called this her "Anniversary Tour of 50 years" in show buisness or something. It has truly lasted longer than I had expected as she continues to add dates. As Berry has told her in the past; "Do whatver makes you happy" and I think that is what she is doing now. She has taken all of the demands of what ever one else wants and rolled them into what she wants.
BRAVO for her !!! I am still holding on to my dream of a duet CD from Ross or perhaps one that includes her with past works from Al B Sure, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Brandy, Lionel Richie, etc.
Now as far as her being broke ............well we just said earlier she still does the 10 + gowns in her shows so that means she has not had to sell her gowns yet. Seriously though from the day " An Evening With Diana Ross " was created people are aware that is her trademark and if she stopped doing it I swear people would say she can't afford gowns now.
At any rate I am so proud of this Diva because she is one of thee few female artists who have said they are doing their retirement tour and three years later they are BACK !!!
Thank you for that. I used to think I was the only young Supremes fan around, but I have met many more from my generation through Facebook. Some of them know even more than I do. There is a new generation of fans all over the world and I am so honoured to be a part of that. It shows how timeless the music really is.
