Destiny’s Child, the reunion!
Feb 15th
The ladies of Destiny’s Child are back together, but unfortunately, it was only for lunch. Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle met up at Phillipe Chow in West Hollywood to celebrate Kelly’s belated 30th birthday on Valentine’s Day. The group was snapped getting into an SUV, along with Bey’s sister Solange and her cousin Angie. Take a good look because this is the closest we may get to a reunion. Read the rest of this entry »
LaTavia Roberson slams Beyonce!
Nov 9th
Former Destiny’s Child member LaTavia appeared on Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ recently. The struggling artist spoke in detail about how she was ousted from the top-selling group and the problems with alcohol that she developed as a result. – Of course! Because that is the solution to everyone’s problems!
“You don’t do enough in this group to even have an opinion…” I wonder which of the girls in the band said that? Seeing as both she and LeToya were left at the same time then it has to be either Kelly Rowland or the obvious suspect, Beyonce. There has been serious debate during the last decade regarding the real reason for LaTavia and Letoya’s departure from Destiny’s Child. While the Knowles’ camp has maintained the two left on their own accord, I am more inclined to believe that they were fired for challenging the ‘Beyonce is the star and you’re just here for emotional support’ status quo. Indeed, we all know that Destiny only had one child.
Still, it has been over a decade since the group split and reformed (twice) so it’s good to see LaTavia finally getting focused on rebuilding her career. If LeToya can have a comeback then so can she. Good luck honey! Read the rest of this entry »
Michelle and Kelly hit London town!
Oct 10th
That’s right Destiny’s Child stars Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were spotted en route to dinner here in London last night. Rowland is currently in town to promote her new single “Forever & A Day“, while Williams is starring in hit TV show “Strictly Come Dancing” – That’s right, she didn’t make it on “Dancing with the Stars” in the states!.
I cannot help, but wish Beyonce was in this photo, I mean there is room on the right of Michelle - but maybe this is all to prove a point? That everyone has got over Destiny’s Child and that both (more so Kelly Rowland‘s) careers are really begging to see some star light which both deserve.
Kelly Rowland also announced that her new “AS YET UNTITLED” album will be released in the UK on the 29th of November. The album will have two versions, one which will be made and mastered for her European fan base and another for her homeland America. Oddly, in the UK the new album will not be released by label Universal Motown, but through another reportedly distribution group. Is Kelly trying to play two rolls each side of the ocean? or she just simply lost between European pop and R&B!? With all her lead singles performing better on charts I’m sure everyone will be advising her to peruse her Euro-pop career Read the rest of this entry »
Beyonce says “No!” to Destiny’s Child regroup
Jun 14th
Yes! “Single Lady” Beyonce has said no to any chances of Destiny’s Child ever reforming! to be fair, we all saw this comming; with Michelle Williams only a few months ago saying she didn’t want to continue with her music and made the decision to transgress her career onto a more theatre based paths; and Kelly Rowland leaving R&B totally and focusing on a more Euro-pop sound!
I’m not surprised! We all love Beyonce; but it seems clear that Beyonce who is extremly close to being named Best Selling Female Artist of 2010 (meaning 2009 – don’t asking me how that works!) is begging to get slightly heated within her own game! With the introduction of Lady Gaga; it tested Beyonce thus pushing her to give into the “Gaga-Revolution” that is currently happening over the industry! There is no nice way to say this but…Beyonce was out there to be solo from the beginning! simples!
However with a current gay for a girl group to take over the world this would of been a safe and good time to bring back Destiny’s Child; however I’d be worried on the amount of units they would sell. In many waus Destiny’s Child has gone way past it’s used by dates and with each member pushing their solo careers – Kelly Rowland set to release her new album in the coming months; it’s sad to see that we will never see Destiny’s Child again – even more so i’m grateful; if this project failed it could of damaged the legacy that girls have built up!
Saying that please please please note that Beyonce has kept in minimal contract with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams; so much for “sisters”! Well what you expect? It’s a shame we’ll never see these children of destiny together again! Also please note that Beyonce‘s recent single “Why Don’t You Love” flopped epically – go on a break B!

JLS new album details
Apr 17th
MoMo’s exclusive sources from Sony Music has informed us that Jive Records after their intense arena tour JLS will be then pushed to release a new album for late 2010 or even in the first quarter of 2011 (oh…joy!). In fairness it would be nice to see what major pop label Jive do to these boys, everyone knows that UK acts have always struggled in US markets (Jay Sean dropped from Cash Money, Alexandra Burke‘s shelved from shipping to the states), although there is a gap in the market for the boys it’s essential that JLS work on what type of boy band they want to be.
Needless to day JLS‘s début album was pretty much 13 tracks of mid-tempo same old pop crossover R&B. If there is one thing is for sure they guys will not be transferred to legends like Boys II Men, Jagged Edge or Dru Hill – however the vocal potential is there however I’m still trying to get my head around why JLS has been restricted to use there vocal talents in any of there singles. With new album under development and edging toward production from June; huge producers such as Darkchild (who’s worked with the likes of Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, J Holiday, Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga) have been called in to work on the album along side boyband superstar Justin Timberlake.
We are currently waiting for a further release date, and possible track list; it’s been official that JLS will be covering a huge soul ballad. For more info keep it MoMo.
Solange ready to start work on new album
Jan 12th
A source told use today that Solange Knowles has started working on her next studio album. The singer has headed to Australia to team up with the alternative rock band Midnight Juggernautsand is reportedly planning to release the LP independently. No indication of when the album will hit stores has been confirmed.
So is the Single Ladies sister trying to take the lime light from her big sis while Beyonce takes her big vacation this year!? Who Knows!? – with her recent LPs not doing too great, there is now sign of Solange slowing down, and we mean that.
Last time we all say “Lil’ Diva” was back on BET in 2008, not following her sisters routes to the classic Pop R&B type, Solange opted for the Soul/Blues/Jazz/R&B sound for this album. No further details have been released yet, however there may be a chance that a few samples of her tracks may leak onto the internet in the comming months.
Another source told us that Beyonce had helped Solange in writing three of her songs…(right, because Beyonce writes all of her hits) Good Luck! To be fair i think it’s time for Solange to get abit of limelight, even though if Beyonce said she couldn’t be in destiny’s child!
