]]> Diana Ross is finally getting the biopic her fans have been patiently waiting for, and she’ll be portrayed by another extraordinary artist. Former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams will be in charge of portraying this soul icon in the upcoming series American Soul.

This promising project will premiere on BET, but it won’t be a direct biopic. Instead of focusing solely on Ross, this 10-episode drama will tell the story of dancers, crew, and musicians trying to make it in ‘70s Hollywood.

Don Cornelius, who launched and hosted this music show, will be the central character of American Soul. He’ll be portrayed by Sinqua Walls, known for his work on Power and Once Upon a Time. Michelle Williams won’t be the only person portraying a legendary soul artist on this show. Gabrielle Dennis and McKinley Freeman were cast as Tina and Ike Turner.

To make the whole thing more exciting, Williams will team up with Kelly Rowland on set. If they could only get Beyoncé on board, it would be an epic Destiny’s Child reunion!

]]> Ashlee Simpson Ross and husband Evan opened up to Claudia Jordan on The Raw Word about having another baby for their growing family.

“I’d love more kids. We’re definitely having another one,” Evan revealed.

“I want to finish this album and then definitely, for sure,” Ashlee shared. “Definitely one more, and then we’ll see what happens after that.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, are parents to 2-year-old daughter Jagger, and 9-year-old son Bronx, from Ashlee’s previous marriage to Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz which lasted from 2008 to 2011.

The co-host asked them about raising their kids in the limelight. The couple themselves grew up in the spotlight as Evan’s mother is Diana Ross while Ashlee being the sister of Jessica Simpson. In addition, the 33-year-old pop star has released 3 albums, though the last one was done a decade ago.

“As long as you give your children love and they understand what’s going on in the world and have compassion, I think it’s not the hardest thing in the world,” Evan said.

Ashlee added,”And being a mom is my number one thing in life. Our kids are incredible.”

They said that Jagger already has her eyes set on following her famous grandmother’s footsteps.

“Bronx is creative and sweet and he’s got an old soul. And Jagger is the boss,” Ashlee explained. “She’s already like, ‘Give me the microphone and the shiny dresses and I am going to be [Grandma].”

“She loves her [Grandma]. She wants to dress in glitter,” she added.

Last November, Diana Ross brought her granddaughter when she received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 American Music Awards. It was a special event for the matriarch of the family surrounded by her children and grandkids.

“This is all about love,” Diana said in her acceptance speech. “This says it all. This is my family and I’m sending love out there to all of you.”
