Tha Breakdown with J. Williams

I really haven't kept up with what Beyonce's two back-up singers/dancers were doing with their lives since she decided to go solo, but apparently the pretty one is coming out with her own album. Yea people, Kelly Rowland's album, titled Ms. Kelly, is set to be released June 26th of this year. Obviously I'm the idiot because I would've sworn that this was her first album, but it's actually her sophomore album. According to Soundscan, Kelly's first album did go gold unlike Kelis. Personally, I don't believe that. I think Matthew Knowles went out and bought a few copies to prevent any animosity between B and Kelly because Kelly knows ALL of their family secrets. But while we're on the topic of Beyonce's back-up, Michelle (the other one) will be playing Shug Avery in The Color Purple Tour which jumps off May 3rd at the Cadillac Palace Theater in Chicago. Hopefully she doesn't trip on stage again. Then again…who cares? Beyonce didn't.

Anyways, here is the first single off of her album, "Like This" courtesy of MTV's TRL:

OK, for the 5th time: Jay-Z plans to marry Beyonce. These rumors have been flying around since forever. Allegedly, an insider from Def Jam is saying that the couple plans to marry this summer. Publicity stunt? More than likely. As much as people put Beyonce on a pedastal, I've always looked at her like the character she played in Dream Girls: a manequin and a product. I know Jay has to be interested in her, but she doesn't seem to have any depth. Therefore I believe that the whole thing is just another hoax. This "insider" may just be saying this in order to boost sales of the upcoming re-release of Beyonce's B-Day. She has been sporting a ring with the name Shawn on it recently, but its made out of wire that you can get made at the mall (pictures below) so that doesn't mean anything. Another thing is, it seems to be Beyonce who wants to get married so badly. Being that that is the case, I'll be shocked as hell if Jay-Z actually finally gave in. He's got other issues to take care of: CEO, Rapper, FATHER!!!!

Tina Knowles is at it again. Nobody asks her anything, but she just has to find a way to capitalize on her daughter's fame. In a recent magazine interview, Mrs. Knowles allegedly stated, "I was born in Galveston, Tex., of French and Cherokee Indian descent." Ain't this about a b****. I would've sworn you were black. It seems like Tina is trying to say she isn't black by apparently omitting her "African-American" decent. It's amazing what people will do now-a-days to not claim their black heritage. Now we see where Beyonce gets it from, but even she can't hide it because she's so damn country. Look at the BEFORE and AFTER picture below of Beyonce's magic transformation...NEGROES!
