    Tracee Ellis Ross Not Too Engrossed With Emmy Nomination

    The ‘Black-ish’ actress keeps her latest nomination at the Primetime Emmy Awards in the back of her mind as she’s too busy with catching on house chores during lockdown.
    Aug 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tracee Ellis Ross is relishing the opportunity to get hands-on around her home as she enjoys some much-needed downtime during lockdown.
    The screen star tells Variety she’s rarely in her own house as she’s always on set or attending work events – so the COVID-19 crisis has been the perfect opportunity to catch up on some chores.
    “I love this part of my life,” she smiles. “I never get to do it – the cooking, cleaning, the being tethered to my own experience. I’m usually running through the house scarfing food down while I’m doing 17 other things.”
    Ross found out last month (Jul20) she’d scooped her fourth Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her portrayal of Rainbow Johnson in hit ABC show “Black-ish”, which tackles issues affecting the black community, but her mind wasn’t focused on the big accolade.
    “My attention is on other things, like changing my sheets and mopping my floor,” the down to earth star admitted. “I like everything just so, and that requires a lot of attention.”
    And while “The High Note” star might be a domestic goddess when no one’s watching, she’s keen to ensure such tasks are fairly divided when the subject comes up on screen, telling the Los Angeles Times’ “Can’t Stop Watching” podcast, “I don’t believe they’re ‘lady chores.’ I believe they’re house chores.”
    “I believe every relationship is a negotiation between two people about what each of them feel comfortable doing, and I think the more that we portray that on television, the more that that becomes the reality out in the world, or matches the reality that the world actually is,” she added.

      The daughter of Diana Ross has been confirmed to executive produce and lend her voice to the title character for the upcoming adult animated show ‘Jodie’.
      Jun 20, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tracee Ellis Ross has been tapped to executive produce and voice the title character in Comedy Central’s latest adult animated series “Jodie”.
      The 47-year-old “Mixed-ish” actress will front the spin-off of the MTV cult classic “Daria”, which will follow Daria’s pal Jodie Landon as she attempts to navigate post-college life.
      According to Deadline, “Jodie” will premiere alongside Comedy Central’s flagship series “South Park” as the network attempts to ramp up its adult animated content.
      The show will “satirise workplace culture, Gen Z struggles, the artifice of social media and more” as Jodie takes on her first job in the adult world, and will be led by themes of empowerment along gender and racial lines, shining a light on the issues young black women face today.
      Jodie is the brainchild of writer Grace Edwards, who has lent her talents to shows such as Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer”, and HBO’s “Insecure”.
      A premiere date has yet to be announced.

      AceShowbiz – Tracee Ellis Ross has treated fans to a brand new music video for “Love Myself”. One week after debuting the lead single from upcoming film “The High Note” on Instagram Live, the actress portraying recording artist Grace Davis in the drama movie offered behind-the-scenes look in its newly-released visual.
      When sharing the promo video on Instagram, the 47-year-old daughter of Motown legend Diana Ross informed friends and followers about what to expect. “Some of the many incredible moments we all shared making this wonderful film with our director @nisha.ganatra,” she noted in the caption.
      “This song was beautifully written by the beyond special @sarah_aarons, and produced by @rodneyjerkins who held my hand and my eyes through the process of letting my voice out,” she went on to praise the track’s songwriter and producer. “There are so many incredible people who made this film and music possible. Can’t wait for you to see @thehighnotefilm on May 29!”

      Tracee released “Love Myself” on May 14. During an online streaming that gathered the likes of her mother and other friends, including Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae, Lena Waithe, Sarah Paulson and Kerry Washington, she confessed that she dreamed to be a singer when she was a child, but her fear got the best of her.
      “This movie I get to sing and my mom who’s on [the live] is Diana Ross and whether consciously or unconsciously as a kid I took that dream of mine to be a singer and I hid it. I hid it away,” she explained. “I got so scared to sing that it became this dream that I was afraid of and at 47 years old, I faced that dream.”
      To be made available through VOD platforms on May 29, “The High Note” is directed by Nisha Ganatra, and is written by Flora Greeson. It will see Tracee starring opposite Dakota Johnson, who portrays Davis’s overworked personal assistant who despite being stuck running errands, still aspires to be a music producer.
