In recent years we’ve learned the whereabouts of most of the lost members of Destiny’s Child.

LeToya Luckett went on to record a platinum solo album. Farrah Franklin must have hit the lottery and not told a soul because she appeared on an episode of Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker.

However, little has been said about what original member LaTavia Roberson has been up to until now. Word is that she’s now ready to fill fans in about her post-DC life via a tell-all book.

Naturally, the book will cover her time with the group, but it’s said she will also speak on her struggles with family (rumor: they thought she was an ATM machine) and other areas in her life and how she’s overcome them.

It’s good to know Tav hasn’t been spending her days throwing darts at pictures of Beyonce and Kelly.

Some people would still be salty, but acting like a bottle of Lawry’s all the time leads to a terrible life. Good for her trying to move on with her career.

Are you looking forward to reading what LaTavia has to say?

Just in time for Father’s Day, Nas blogged a tender message to all dad’s.

On Global Grind he said: “Right now I’m shouting out to real dads. Some are great role models with real academic achievements. Some are not … We deserve the love! Becuz [sic] we don’t even expect it, we do what we do regardless! With no signs of a reward for it. We put up with everything, standing true to what’s real and letting life take its course protecting our household, our woman, our children, our family … Biggest Shout To My Son On The Way!!”

This is sweet and all but if you ask Kelis, I’m sure she’ll tell you their unborn child will need Pampers, not a shout out. Nas has said he’s not paying Kelis spousal support or legal fees in the wake of their divorce drama, but hopefully, as far as their child is concerned the two can put aside their differences and do what’s right.

Speaking of children, don’t expect to see a baby bump on Kelly Rowland any time soon, the singer says she wants to adopt.

She told The Daily London: “I would adopt in a heartbeat but I don’t want a baby. I want to get a child that’s five, six or even ten. I was doing Home For Holidays, a charitable program for kids in the States, and the older children don’t get adopted as much.”

She added: “I don’t want that many children, but I want a family of five, including adopted children.”

I love that Kelly’s looking out for the children that usually are left behind! Can’t you already picture her brood going on play date’s with Beyonce’s future children?

In other news, turns out Rihanna might not be a good girl gone bad neighbor after all!  Although a man who lives next door to the songbird hit her with a lawsuit earlier this week for trespassing, among other things, Ri-Ri’s other Hollywood Hills neighbors are coming to her defense.

One resident told RadarOnline, “She is a good neighbor” adding Rihanna “is hardly ever” at the house.

Another neighbor chimed in about the situation: “Several years ago it had squatters living there and it became a real party house with people coming from all over Los Angeles. But after they were kicked out, it became really quiet again and Rihanna hasn’t caused any real problems. There have been a few parties there in the past month but nothing really so bad that people would file a lawsuit.”

Good to see she has some people in her corner, especially since I’m sure she doesn’t have time to deal with this lawsuit foolishness with THE big trial starting next week. Hold onto your hats folks! That’s sure to be a crazy ride.

Until then, enjoy the weekend!

It took her a missed opportunity to star in her own sitcom, reality television and two underperforming solo albums to realize this, but Kelly Rowland has finally come to the realization that she needs to step it up.

When asked on why she fired Beyonce’s daddy as her manager, Kelly said:

“I just felt like I wasn’t growing anymore. It took a long time to actually come up with the final decision because it was something that you think about before when you feel like you’re almost hitting a ceiling. I wanted a change. I needed a change. So that’s what happened.”

Congrats, Kelly. Now hopefully it’s not too late for you to become a superstar in her your own right.

I wonder if Michelle is next?

So the folks over at Destiny’s Child: The Rumors say that Mathew Knowles doesn’t want Kelly Rowland coming ‘round Beyonce anymore since she gave him the boot.

And let them tell it, Beyonce doesn’t seem to mind his request:

Via their blog:

“Kelly came to Mathew and spoke to him about his lack of PR over her album Ms. Kelly. Mathew took this as an insult and told Kelly the best thing would be to leave. A lot of people think Mathew was calling her bluff with this ultimatum but Kelly responded that she would be leaving and fired him as her manager.

Mathew has been absolutely livid over this and has advised Beyonce not to let Kelly pull on her coat tails anymore. Mathew feels Michelle and Kelly should be lucky they have a career at all and often tie themselves in with Beyonce to gain more sales. This was fine when Kelly was apart of MWE but now she isn’t they don’t want them near each other.

Beyonce has taken her father’s advice. You will not see Beyonce and Kelly together unless they reform as Destiny’s Child or for birthdays. Beyonce and Kelly are no longer friends. Any future photos will be staged to keep the DC brand alive.

Kelly is extremely upset about this as Beyonce does not answer any of her calls and when she does the conversation is short and strained. She cannot understand how Beyonce can be so cold after all the years they have worked together.”

This sounds about as right as Aretha Franklin modeling Apple Bottoms, but who knows. After all, blood is thicker than Soundscan.

I suspect an official denial from all parties involved coming in 5, 4, 3….

Rumors that Mathew Knowles continues to sabotage secret daughter Kelly Rowland’s career have officially been denied by both Papa Mat and his alleged evil daughter, Solange.

It seems reports that Solange was given her walking papers from label Geffen over paltry record sales may have been a bit premature. Same goes for the story that Mathew intercepted a potential new solo deal at Epic for Kelly in favor of Solange.

Although I would have preferred watching him do the stanky legg after Maury Povich tells him that his sperm did not help create Kelly, Mathew decided to deny paternity via a prepared statement:

“Our joint venture with Music World and Interscope/Geffen/A&M is very much in place for Solange. We are currently experiencing success at video outlets and radio with the current single ‘T.O.N.Y’ co-written by Cee-Lo of Gnarls Barkly and Solange. Cee-Lo and Kid Cudi also appear in the video. 

It’s very disappointing in recent days the amount of false statements in the marketplace from Solange being drop to me [being] accused of being Kelly Rowland’s father.”

Solange, evidently still not a fan of media training also responded, tweeting: “stooopiddd iddddiots. rumor control for the day:) I was NOT released from Geffen/Interscope… now back to your regular scheduled program:)”

For years now the Knowles clan have ducked and dodged the accusation that it’s more than just a coincidence that Kelly Rowland and Solange sometimes favor.

But after Miss Jones (still salty that the “Chicken Noodle Soup” lasted fifteen seconds longer than her own music career) recently opened up a can of worms claiming that Mathew Knowles in Kelly’s real pops. She then blamed him for Kelly being dropped from her label.

And now that T-Boz has thrown her two cents in from yesterdecade saying it’s always been about Beyonce, one guess on who this not so blind item is about: 

Via BlindGossip: Remember the post a while back about the celebrity who would not publicly acknowledge that another famous celebrity was his son, but who helped with his career? Well, here’s an example of another Dad with paternity issues, but in this case, the father does not treat the illegitimate child well. 

Dad has several kids, but we’ll focus on two, who are both adults. Offspring A is the A list celebrity everyone knows, who Dad acknowledges as his blood, and who has his name. Offspring B is his illegitimate child, and has a different last name. Offspring B is in the same business as Offspring A, and they have even worked together, but B has always been treated as a second-class citizen.  Sadly, Dad has even made several moves to sabotage B’s career. For example, every time B has a project that’s about to be released, Dad pushes Offspring A into the headlines. Now B is struggling a bit, but are Dad and A stepping up to help? No. As usual, B will have to rely on him/herself to find work and pay the bills.

Who actually believes that Kelly Rowland is R&B’s own version of Cinderella?

Here’s why I don’t believe the rumor that Kelly Rowland is on suicide watch after being dropped from her label.

1. She’s rich. She can buy people to tell her that she’s doing just as well as Beyonce.

2. If she really wanted to kill herself, she would have done so after she saw the first week sales of Ms. Kelly and compared them to LeToya’s debut.

3. She already has another job lined up. Sure, it sounds like a second tier version of Project Runway, but it beats what Farrah and LaTavia are doing.

4. People care about her in Europe. That’s not really a bad thing – these days the dollar has nothing on the Euro.

5. Her committing suicide would sadden Beyonce. She would never do such a thing as Beyonce’s #1 fan.

Coupled with the fact that this rumor is just plain stupid and she recently spent a grip upgrading her chest — I’m not buying it.

Longtime friends and former bandmates hang out on the red carpet at Kelly Rowland’s surprise birthday bash at Hollywood’s Club Opera earlier this week. Beyonce gives a playful squeeze to her now 28-year-old friend.

Now we get what Kelly was saying about buying new boobs to fill out her designer gowns. She looks all hour-glassy here at at a Cannes Film Festival event in France.
