    LOL, I am glad.

    Also, it’s cool seeing Diana on Twitter, and you know it’s really her as well. Cool.

    This is hilarious. I can't imagine her at Marshall's. Who gets a gift from Ross that came from Marshall's ?? Mary Wilson?

    My guess would be that it's a baby gift; clothes for babies and children's toy last about a month.

    What is this Marshalls? We don't have that in Canada - I don't think.

    But I love this coverage in the news. At least it takes the emphasis off MacDonald Plump.

    It's an off-price department store. They've got some nice stuff at good, reasonable prices. Let's just say it's not a place you'd expect Diana to be shopping.

    I have to say I love this article. It's funny and endearing. I wouldn't be surprised if she brought it up at the AMA's.

    She tweeted the next day that she would “pay [it] forward.” So refreshing to hear that she doesn’t consider herself “above” Marshall’s. I’ve found some great items there myself.

    We have Marshalls stores in Canada. I think they're more common in the bigger cities. They're identical to Winners.

    I’m not a great shopper but Winners is popular and has some top quality items

    You'd be surprised how many celebrities shop in "everyday" stores.
    A friend recently found himself seated next to Sissy Spacek on a short flight between Florida and Virginia, and she was flying coach. They got to talking and somehow got onto the subject of their luggage. She went on and on about the bargain she got on a set at Marshall's. Even if you're rich and famous, you can still shop for bargains. Sheesh...

    Yes, well, I don't think I'd be too surprised to see Sissy Spacek in Marshall's. But the Original Diva MISS DIANA ROSS???!!! Whose name is synonymous with glamour, opulence and sequins? No. I would not be prepared.

    I've gotten the sense over the years that Diane just enjoys running little "just folks" shopping errands. After all, she's been paparazzi'ed more than once toting bags of groceries and household items from stores to her car [[including toilet paper one time). It's probably a nice break from the rest of her life. Certainly she has employees who could attend to those things but must enjoy doing them herself from time to time.

    Good for her...she's making up for lost time when she couldn't do anything without getting stared at or followed by glam seekers and press. Lord knows how often she just wanted wait on a line to get an Ice Cream cone and be treated like everyone else and for 40 years it most likely was impossible.

    I once met Willie Nelson at a shave ice stand on Maui. He said Hi and I said hi and he went about his day.

    John, a fanny pack is one of those little pouches you'd strap around your waist - kind of like a leather muskrat/pouch/minor pregnancy.

    She could always have gone incognito by simply containing her trademark tresses and wearing little or no makeup, but I imagine it's only been in the past dozen years or so, since her career has slowed down some, that she's even had time enough to attend to domestic errands. She will always be recognized with that hair on view, which could always be covered with headgear — a scarf or a hat or some such if she's worried about being recognized — so I don't think she's worried about that angle. She probably enjoys being depicted as being more down-to-earth than her media persona suggests.

    Tracee was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and says how excited she is that she is hosting the show while her mom gets an award.

    She also discusses the "infamous backpack"

    At the awards last night, someone brought something up to her on stage, and Diana laughed when she saw that it was her fanny pack, thus giving her now found fanny pack even more national attention.
