Es wird am 25. Februar ein einstündiges "seltenes Special mit der legenderen Diana Ross geben inklusive Perfomance". So heißt es auf der Website von Oprah. Sie ist der einzige Gast an diesem Tag. Diana gibt sehr selten Interviews und ich frage mich warum nun ausgerechnet bei Oprah. Das letzte mal war sie vor ca. 10 Jahren bei ihr. Und eigentlich hat sie auch nichts zu promoten außer ein Buch das bald über sie rauskommt, aber sonst? Nächste Woche erscheint ein Trailer über dieses Interview.
Bei Oprah wird es wohl definitiv darauf hinauslaufen das sie Diana über Michael befragen wird. Aber ich denke nicht das Diana es erlauben wird das Oprah sie wegen dem Kindesmissbrauch ect. befragt. Da wird es vorher wohl eine Vereinbarung getroffen das sie sich über diese Themen nicht äußern wird.
Denn kurz vor ihrer Konzertreihe im Mai 2010 hatte sie auch (zwar nur ein kurzes) Interview, aber sie hat NICHTS über Mike gesagt. Das wurde wahrscheinlich ebenso vereinbart...
Außerdem läuft Evans Film 'Mooz-lum' seit dem 11. Februar in 10 ausgewählten Kinos in den größten Städten der USA an.
Hier der Trailer:

ABOUT MOOZ-LUM
Pulled between his strict Muslim upbringing by his father and the normal social life he’s never had, Tariq Mahdi (Evan Ross) enters college in a state of confusion. New relationships with Muslims and non-Muslims alike challenge his already shaken ideals, and the estrangement with his mother and sister troubles him. With the help of new friends, family and mentors, he begins to find himself and open up to an Islam he hasn’t been exposed to. But when the attacks of 9/11 happen without warning, he is forced to face his past and make the biggest decisions of his life.
Written and directed by Qasim Basir, Mooz-lum is one of the first-ever American feature films depicting the life of a young Muslim-American. The all-star cast includes: Danny Glover (Dreamgirls, The Color Purple), Nia Long (Are We There Yet, Love Jones), Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster, Do The Right Thing), Summer Bishil (The Last Airbender, Towelhead) and Evan Ross (ATL, Pride).
Ich denke Evan hat eine große Zukunft vor sich
