It seems like "incidents" are the only way she can get press these days. Maybe she should think about selling her tour bus and just retiring:

Diana Ross laughed off a drunken fan who stormed the stage dancing when she performed at a firm’s annual investor conference at Rockefeller Center on Monday.
Video seen by Page Six shows a seemingly overserved guest in a suit jumping onstage and throwing his hands in the air, swaying back and forth and getting uncomfortably close to the “Reach Out and Touch [[Somebody’s Hand)” singer.
But Ross handled it like a pro, smiling and spinning away. Someone finally intervened and ushered the guy off the stage as he kept dancing.
She needs better security. But I am sure the casinos are adequate.Quote:

She should hire her own security since it appears her audiences are sometimes rowdy and drunk........Quote:

Well, this one didn't have a camera. Other than that ...Quote:

Even with a free book this event couldn't sell. Unfortunate.Quote:

She is not doing the Apollo. It conflicts now with her appearance on "DWTS".Quote:

By the way, in another thread, you said that maybe Mary would "wink wink" send you an autographed copy. If not, you can buy an autographed copy from her at the book signing. That is if you also support her with your wallet as much as you do with your posts here
It is the reason.Quote:

And she has a book signing event here the next day on the 18th at 7:30 where she will be selling her book and her autographing it for $ 44.95. So far that is still scheduled and not cancelled
Mary Wilson
Wednesday, September 18th @ 7:30pm
One of the Founding member of THE SUPREMES, Mary Wilson, will sign her new book:
Supreme Glamour
I guess ticket sales were poor for the Apollo.
I think that some of her fans did not support that gig at the Apollo. Did you buy a ticket for it? I think she will get a better turn out at the book signing the next day. Unless, of course, that is cancelled too, because of the DWTS conflict. :rolleyes:Quote:

I think we can safely say that the book signing will NOT be cancelled. The only reason why the Apollo engagement was cancelled was because ticket sales were so low as to not make it viable to the venue.Quote:

I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but if it’s where I suspect, I hope you used three ply at least for this mess.Quote:

Authors frequently do appear at theaters to promote their books with an interview; one can look at listings for appearances on different lit sites. Here in NJ in fact we have an upcoming event in October at the Mayo Center. These normally sell out well in advance. Additionally this was a joint effort with the WNYC/WQXR radio network which also presents author events quite frequently with success. Best to you!Quote:
