Kelly chats about a double date with Beyonce:

Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland said she couldn’t keep her eyes open on a double date with Beyonce.

Rowland told Closer magazine, “I once fell asleep while on a double date with Beyonce. I’d been working so hard and we’d gone to see There’s Something About Mary at the cinema.” And that’s not all: “The lights went up and I was actually slobbering on the guy’s shoulder. It was terrible.”

Rowland admitted that after seeing her pal Beyonce tie the knot with Jay-Z earlier this year, she has a whole new outlook on marriage. But there’s no love connection for the singer as of now.

“I was dumped in my last relationship because I was working so much – another one bites the dust.”

Who was the fool that dumped her? Hell, men would line up around the corner to be in a pretend relationship where the woman is always working. That’s just more time to tend to other “initiatives.”

Michelle reveals the details about who she is and DC’s breakup to Corduroy Magazine:

“There is that glamour side to me,” she says, “but then there is that girl who just wants to chill out at a cafe in Brooklyn or be in Chicago by the lake, without a sequined dress and heels on.” Asked about her perfect night out, Williams says she prefers staying in with friends, catching up over drinks and her specialty: homemade mac and cheese.

Williams also speaks out at length about her new solo venture and the breakup of Destiny’s Child: “Now I can finally just do me,” Williams says; “no more pleasing other people, no more compromising what I want. As a group, we all had to agree. But now, it’s just me.”

“My goal isn’t to sell-out stadiums or be on the cover of magazines anymore,” she says. “My dream path is just to get that loyal fan base. I don’t care if it’s a hundred million or a hundred thousand. I’d rather play an underground club where people all know your songs than perform for audiences who have no idea who you are.”

It looks like Michelle was clueless as to what she was getting into when she joined Destiny’s Child, but it definitely didn’t do anything to hurt her popularity.

Would ya’ll think we are crazy for grabbing tickets to her show when she’s in town?

One-Time is investigating the nephew of Donde West who is a R.N. that was caring for her after the surgery:

A year after Kanye_West’s mother, Donda, 58, died while recovering from plastic surgery, PEOPLE has learned that California authorities have launched a probe into the possible role of Donda West’s nephew, Stephan Scoggins, 46. A registered nurse, Scoggins was supervising West’s post-surgery care with West’s assistant and a friend when, according to a source familiar with the situation, he left the house to attend a baby shower the day after West underwent breast augmentation and liposuction last Nov. 10. West died that evening at a Los Angeles hospital. At the time, the death of the rapper’s mother was described by a family spokesman as “the result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure,” a statement that placed intense scrutiny on West’s surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams. But last January, a Los Angeles coroner ruled that West died of “multiple post-operative factors,” effectively clearing Dr. Adams of responsibility. In this new development, an investigator with the California Department of Consumer Affairs has issued subpoenas asking individuals “to testify in the matter of the investigation of Stephan Scoggins,” a source tells PEOPLE.

Kind of unfortunate that after all the man and his family have gone through with this ordeal, people still won’t let the late be great, and live.

Oprah and her lawyer’s about to put the legal smackdown on that sheisty former ex-mistress. According to Livesteez:

Oprah Winfrey has asked a court to either dismiss the defamation lawsuit filed against her in Philadelphia last month by the ex-headmistress of her South Africa girls school, or order that the matter be settled in arbitration.

Nomvuyo Mzamane accuses Winfrey of falsely implying that she wasn’t trustworthy, and of making such statements as, “I thought she cared about the girls of South Africa” in the wake of a sex abuse scandal at her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Tiny Virginia Makopo, a dorm matron who worked under Mzamane, was charged with abusing six students last year. She has pleaded not guilty to 14 related charges in a South African court.

Mzamane’s lawsuit seeks more than $250,000 on five defamation and related counts from Winfrey and her production companies, reports the Associated Press. Winfrey denies making any false or defamatory statements and argues that the federal suit should not proceed in Pennsylvania.

This chick ought to be ashamed of herself. All that foul sh*t went down on her watch, then has the nerve to try to dig all up in Oprah’s pockets. She doesn’t stand a chance in hell.

Kelly Rowland attended and performed at the MTV Africa Music Awards in Nigeria. Poor thang couldn’t get a spot performing at the AMA’s in the U.S. like her Destiny’s Child band-mate, so she had to head all the way back to the motherland. It could always be worse…right?.

Looks like both Jamie Foxx and Diddy are interested in playing the historical role.

Current star Daniel Craig recently suggested it could be time for the first black Bond in the wake of Barack Obama’s election as the first African-American president in U.S. history. Asked by U.S. news show Access Hollywood whether he would like to play Bond, he says, “Of course! I’d put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know. Maybe not drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. Bond would drink dark liquor.” And Foxx admits he has already received backing to take on the coveted role. He adds, “I was in London and I had to give an award to Daniel Craig? and I went up and said, ‘Bond. Black Bond.’ And everybody just lost it… Black Bond would be cool.”

At the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards Diddy also put his bid in for the role. “One day the time will come for a black Bond and hopefully I can audition for it. It’s a dream of mine to play a great role like that.”

Obama’s the president. Beyonce wants to be Wonder Woman, and now the next Bond might just be black. We smell a mutiny.

In the meantime, WHO SHOULD PLAY THE FIRST BLACK BOND?

Rumor has it that Mr. Thriller here has converted to Islam, and to us that sounds suspect as hell:

MICHAEL JACKSON has become a Muslim – and changed his name to Mikaeel. The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal’s mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal. Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate – days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik. A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah’s Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album. The star – whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel – was spotted looking “a bit down” by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.

Mike says he can’t fly overseas to deal with that lawsuit and that is why he was looking down. Either that, or the fact that the little boys he is always hunting require him to look down, if you get what we mean.

Rihanna made it to her performance in Taguaig, Phillippines over the weekend, and if you look closely you can see her index finger tattooed with, “Shhh”. RiRi has a wild streak in that little, tiny @ss of hers and out of respect, we would like to know if that tattoo has any significance before we start calling it stupid.

Here are some more pics of Princess RiRi performing.
