Recent developments have thrust legendary singer Diana Ross into the spotlight, leading to a surge in online searches for her name. The U.S. Department of Justice's release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has unveiled photographs featuring Ross alongside prominent figures such as former President Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson. One notable image depicts Ross and Jackson seated with Clinton on an aircraft, with Clinton's hand resting on Jackson's shoulder. The context and date of this photograph remain unclear, and there is no implication of wrongdoing by Ross. (tmz.com)
