Diana Ross has been in talks for a cameo role on the Fox hit “Empire.”
The legendary diva has had discussions with the show’s co-creator Lee Daniels about appearing on the show, which starts its second season on Sept. 23. And Ross seems to be into the idea.
Before performing at last week’s Toronto Film Festival AMBI Gala, she told the Globe and Mail of the idea of joining “Empire”: “That would be wonderful.”
When asked who he would most like to see on the show in June, Daniels replied, “Diana Ross. I’m obsessed with Diana Ross.” Even Taraji P. Henson, who stars as the show’s resident diva, Cookie, revealed this summer, “My wish would be for Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams to play my Cookie’s parents,” adding, “I have no idea who it will be. I want Oprah, too.”
An “Empire” source mentioned of the creative team’s plans for Season 2, “There have been informal talks with Diana. But we are very focused on servicing and developing the main characters played by Taraji, Terrance (Howard) and Jussie (Smollett). They are all superstar personalities.”
