So, Uncle Blood Diamond Russ is doing his part smooth over the controversy that Miss Jones started with her blog allegations that Mathew Knowles is Kelly Rowland’s real father. (Like we haven’t heard that before)

Let the illegitmacy begin:

Oh boy! Here she goes again! Beyonce and her dad stood by and watched as Kelly Rowland lost her Miami condo, failed with both her albums and now gets dropped from Columbia Records. How f*cked up is that? Continue »

After Beyonce’s track “Beautiful Nightmare” was leaked last week she made this statement:

“Beautiful Nightmare,” a demo I’ve been working on for possible inclusion on my next album, leaked on some websites. I want to thank all my fans for the positive response to the song, but I want to tell you that this is just a work in progress. It is not my time to put out new music. If you really want to hear some really great music now, you have to support my girls Kelly, Michelle and my sister Solange. Kelly just re-released her album digitally in the US, so check out “Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe.” Michelle is about to put out the first single, “We Break The Dawn,” from her album and Solange’s single, “I Decided,” is already one of my favorites.

Yeah right Bey. Anyway, here are some new promo pics of Michelle Williams for your morning pleasure, as well as a listen to her newest track that was released by Matthew Knowles. When are these broads gonna learn that they will never blow up with those Knowles characters behind their music. Kelly Rowland is a prime example. Poor thangs.

Matthew Knowles goes after Aretha for her “ridiculous” comments on Beyonce calling Tina Turner the Queen:

“Beyonce referred to Tina as a `queen’. Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. “I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”

Look at dude’s Avirex swag. Trying to be ‘hip’, go head Matthew.

Matthew Knowles and Solange are set to launch a ‘hip-hop toy line’ or ‘hip-hop toys’:

Mathew Knowles’ Music World Entertainment has partnered with Planet Toys to launch Baby Jamz, the first-ever hip-hop/rhythm-inspired pre-school toy line — and new mom Solange Knowles will give the products a voice. Mathew Knowles admits Solange’s son Juelz helped inspire the new line.

He says, “Many children love music and dancing to hip-hop, so we have creatively combined great toys with the hip-hop versions of popular nursery rhymes. “My grandson, Juelz, was the inspiration for this idea and I am especially excited that most of the nursery rhymes are sung by my daughter, Solange.”

You know little Juelz is not allowed to read at the crib and gets his little ass beat for not practicing on some music. I can hear a loud voice now, “damn it, put that fu*kin book down little boy and get over here on your little stage.” This move is good because Solange can feel important.

On a new special to be aired on Entertainment Chanel “E!”, LeToya and LaTavia talk about what really went down when they were given their walking papers by Matthew Knowles. Letoya says she couldn’t pay her cell phone bill while Beyonce was driving a Jaguar after Destiny Child took off. Click here to watch the video.

Matthew Knowles says “since Kelly and Beyonce were doing all the singing, it wouldn’t make a difference if Letoya and LaTavia were replaced.” Beyonce can be seen on the video saying, “the bad seeds are now out of Destiny Child”. SMH, when you listen to Letoya, it’s hard to accept she was this evil and lazy person that the Knowles clan try to paint her as.

Back in 2002, a former Knowles associate filed a lawsuit against Matthew Knowles accusing him of blowing $32 million from Destiny Child on coke and hookers. Matthew Knowles admitted to Star magazine that he did have a history of using coke and spending money on hookers.

1. Most Annoying-Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce’s big lacefront glued-on weave has been seen everywhere in 2006 and hopefully in 2007 everyone gets a break. The industry has even manufactered a Beyonce clone. No one said Beyonce was the sharpest knife in the drawer but at least know what shoes you are wearing. Going into 2007, many Bossip readers were asking “without the Knowles machine pushing her, an above average stylist, and Jay-Z’s swagger, why is Beyonce worshipped again?

2. 25 Cent

From fake publicity stunts to promiscuously promoting the fact that he has been shot 9 times to surburban kids (we get it) or attacking Oprah Winfrey for not talking about selling crack and shooting Blacks, 25 Cent will forever be annoying.

3. Star Jones

Star’s self-admittedly Diva behavior has not been backed up by any Diva looks or Diva talent. These type of celebs usually get annoying very fast.

4. Cassie

The lack of talent factor really worked against Cassie this year. Artists can more easily get away with having no talent with Pop music but giving it a R&B feel is a definitely NO NO when you’re singing and dancing game is awful. Although Cassie has now hired top singing coaches to get herself together, she still has a very “Long Way To Go”.

5. Tina and Matthew Knowles

From those wack House of Dookie Dereon designs to hating on JHUD, the Knowles are annoying. It may be time to lean back. Oh yeah, they are ultimately responsible for #1 on the list.

6. Terrance Howard

The manpurses and the silly comments seem to prove that Terrence Howard has gone full blown Hollyweird. Being a more than good actor almost saved him from the list.

7. Kim Porter

Kim Porter who recently said that Diddy never loved Jennifer Lopez and always loved her (OK) and she knew Diddy would come back just seems a little delusional. And we thought she was smart for having all those kids and putting up with Cassie and the others.

8. Foxy Brown

From assaulting manicurists, threats of jail, probation, being kicked off radio shows, and rumors about being kicked off DefJam, 2006 was not a good year for Foxy Brown. We need to be reminded why Foxy is relevant. Maybe the Ill NaNa will be cool again if Jay-Z writes her rhymes again…but then again, his rhymes are not even working for him anymore. OK, Foxy will probably stay annoying in 2007.

9. Wendy Williams

A new show on VH1 for the Gossip Tranny is too much exposure for someone who looks like that.

10. Taye Diggs

Taye’s wacky comments on race and in particular his promiscuous generalization of Black women ensures he makes the list. Oh yeah, Taye saying if he had to sleep with a man, “it would be a well put together brotha, someone like Tyson Beckford” doesn’t help his cause. Taye who is is a self-confessed nerd can’t seem to get any cool points. Golly.

Honorable Mention: Kanye West

Drunken antics at the MTV European awards, carving Fendi’s logo on the side of his head, and overall outlandishly crazy blurbs—”I should be in the Bible” gives Mr. West a definite nod for annoying ass clown of the year.

When Matthew Knowles is not snorting Yay , he does try to manage artists these days. It is being reported by the E Channel that Matthew is hating on Jhud because she refused to sign with his management company and because she dissed him, he tried to get her role in Dreamgirls cut down. Be careful Jennifer, Matthew Knowles is known for smashing careers up, ask LaTavia and Letoya.

Via E Online:

“He tried to sign her halfway through production of Dreamgirls because he wanted to be her manager,” my source says, “but Jennifer turned him down. That’s when things really went south.”…I’m told that Daddy was so insulted by her refusal to sign with him that he demanded the movie be re-edited to lessen Hudson’s screen time and boost Beyoncé’s. He argued that his daughter was being shortchanged but was rebuffed by the studio and the filmmakers. In one meeting with director Bill Condon, I’m told, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina, went into a “tirade” about how he ruined the movie for her daughter. “It was supposed to be her Oscar role,” Tina hissed, according to a source…..
