Diana Ross has cancelled her “Star of the Seas” godmother role due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The ship’s naming ceremony is scheduled to take place on August 20th in Port Canaveral.
The 81-year-old is set to embark on her ‘Beautiful Love’ U.S. tour on Aug. 16 2025. The second date of the tour, however, is scheduled for Aug. 28th in St. Louis, so there was seemingly no conflict between the upcoming tour and her appearance aboard Star of the Seas.
The Star of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s newest class. It features five signature shows, 40 spots to dine and drink, relaxing pools and thrilling waterslides.
The mother of five and grandmother of eight just completed a U.K. arena tour in July.

Gervonta Davis’s domestic violence charges have been dropped over an incident with his ex-girlfriend.
A misdemeanor battery charge has been discharged by the Miami-Dade County Clerk’s Office when the 30-year-old American boxer’s girlfriend declined to prosecute Davis.
The southpaw boxer had been involved in an incident on Father’s Day outside the home of his ex girlfriend, who he has two children with, and was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach.
The unbeaten world lightweight boxing champion is 30-0 with one draw and 28 knockouts. His most recent fight was a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach in New York last March in which Davis held on to his WBA lightweight crown.
There had been rumours of a rematch with Lamont Roach before the arrest.

Authour Andrew Lownie is working on a book entitled “The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York”. He has spent four years working on the book in which he has submitted hundreds of Freedom of Information requests to government departments.
The prince continue to attract a huge amount of attention, making him a difficult distraction for the Royal Family.
Mr Lownie says he got no sense of any appetite to reintroduce Prince Andrew into public life while doing his research.
He said “I don’t think he has any public future. I would say his private future is pretty limited too. I mean, he lives in Royal Lodge, he plays golf, watches TV, and presumably sees his grandchildren … he’s living the life of a retired man.”
The book issue comes as a new YouGov report found that he remains the most unpopular royal in the country, with 87% of people having a negative view of him. According to the survey, just 5% of people have a favourable view of the Duke of York.
The poll also found the royals are less popular with a younger audience.
Only 36% of 18 to 24-years-olds believe the monarchy is good for the country, compared with about 60% of Britons overall.
The generational difference is underlined given 81% of over-65s think Britain should continue to have a monarchy, but this falls with each age group to just 41% of 18 to 24s.
British sprinter Reece Prescod retires from athletics
British sprinter Reece Prescod has announced his decision to retire from athletics.
The 29-year-old quit the sport after a decade as a professional athlete, participating in three World Championships and one Olympic Games.
The Londoner is the fourth fastest British man ever over 100m, with a personal best of 9.93 seconds.
He won a silver medal in the 100m at the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, and also a bronze in the 4x100m relay at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene.
Prescod reached the semi-finals of the 100m at Tokyo 2020 in his only appearance at an Olympics.
On an Instagram post, he wrote “Athletics has taught me invaluable lessons, the true meaning of hard work, dedication, and discipline,”.
“I have been fortunate enough to travel the world, compete at the highest level, and represent my country with pride.
“I look forward to contributing to sport and performance in new, meaningful ways, inspiring others to chase their potential with the same passion that drove me.”
