I have never met J. Randy Taraborelli, although I know he's close with some of the super fans. I tend to wonder what led him to write his second book, "Call Her Miss Ross"? Was it a case of a super fan and former fan club president feeling slighted by his muse, and then wanting to write a negative book that would turn the head of the diva herself, and capture her attention? Almost like an act of obsessive desperation? It's ironic because his third book was much more balanced and he wrote about her from a human perspective, and chalked up much of her earlier diva behaviour to being a young person, who has since, matured. Perhaps in the same way, we can argue that the incentive for him to write his second book was also born out of the mindset of a young and immature, yet aspiring writer. I can only imagine the heat he's received over the years from Ross fans.
