DESTINY’S CHILD ROUND UP…

Monday, July 31, 2006

destiny_rup.jpg
I got wind of three stories/rumors that involve past and present Destiny’s Child members, so I decided to throw them all in one post..go head and update yourself.

First up Ms. I’m-not-preggers Rowlands..
Word is ExtraTV talked to Kelly Rowland about those crazy ass pregnancy rumors, and she said it is so far from the truth. Still waiting on a video or article to confirm this, but I’m told she ISN’T pregnant.

on to Beyon…wait, I can’t say her whole name. Let’s just name her B.

Anyway, B & her daddy are pissed off about the speculation regarding the release date of B’s new album. I’m sure you all read Sandra Rose last week, and saw how B put her album on pre-release the same day as Letoya’s debut album. People were saying she did it on purpose, but she says otherwise.

“I have enormous respect and admiration for LeToya as an artist and a business woman and I wish her incredible success with her debut CD and her career,” said Beyonce. “LeToya and I have known each other since childhood and, because of all we’ve been through, I know that we both really care — and want what’s best — for each other.

“We are pleased that LeToya has chosen to include our House of Dereon designs in her Lady Elle boutique in Houston and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.

“It makes me sad that that people are trying to stir up a controversy where there is none. LeToya makes fantastic music and it would be great if her fans, as well as the press, could simply enjoy it on its own merits and not engage in negative speculation.” [READ MORE]

Speaking of negative things.. looks like Farrah Franklin (the chick that got the boot from Destiny’s Child) don’t know how to pay her bills. Her website, MISSFARRAH.COM, is down due ‘to delinquent payment for services’… Word is she hasn’t paid the hosting company in months. Also, her newest movie, Eyes Of Darkness, went straight to DVD. I heard she produced it though, so I guess she will get a little bit of change, literally..

This is what Matthew said for those to lazy to click on the article.

I’m shocked and amazed that this is even an issue,” said Mathew Knowles. “It’s standard practice in the music industry for upcoming albums to go on pre-sale well in advance of an in-store date.

“From the time Beyonce began working on her new album, ‘B’Day,’ we wanted to release it in early September to coincide with her 25th birthday on September 4. Our pre-sale strategy is a logical and sensible lead-in to that target date and has nothing to do with the scheduled releases of any other albums by any other artists.”

hmmm I thought Matthew did not know about B’Day and Beyonce hid it from everyone?

you know that her dad knew Beyonce was making that record…she just wanted to drum up some publicity saying that she worked on this by her lonesome. I smell a catfight b/w her and Latoya…..lol.

poor farrah. ‘to delinquent payment for services’ that is downright EMBARRASSING.

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

OK, So you have so much respect for her, your birthday is more than a month away and you still feel the need to drop your album on the same date as your ex-friend (who happens to be debuting her FIRST album)? I smell a fish and tuna sandwich here. I could just be paranoid here but something ain’t adding up. Why not just wait if you want to see her with so much success? I just don’t get it.

13.

Daddy Knowles sounding like Papa Joe!! Next thing you know, Beyon.. gonna be pretending to be a Disney character and befriending animals while running around in church shoes and glittery socks. In her new video, she already seems to have adopted “the glove.” Hmmmmm

Actually Kelly is Pregnant!!! DeDe from the Doug Banks morning show reported it this morning quoting InTouch magazine as the source.

Call it a marketing strategy if you want but B is scared of failure and if you read any of her interviews you’ll know this for yourself too. There’s nothing wrong with being ahead of the game but she doesn’t have enough confidence that if she stays off the scene for awhile that she won’t be able to steal the show…again. Real talk from real folk

I don’t believe Matthew one bit. The girl album wont be out until Sept. Why not wait until this tuesday. whatever Matt K, whatever.

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

I don’t really feel like B had to defend a bizness move. It was strategic. All is fair in love and bizness. I think some rivalry amoung them both makes for good r&b history. Damn what am I going to have to watch on E true hollywood stories without a little bit of strategy that plays up as “That was so shitty, B”. You gotta respect Toy Toy’s drive. The boutique pre Gansta Grillz.

I said it once and I’ll say it again…I think this little contrived thing that the public is making larger than life is going to help Toy Toy and B too.

On Farrah…damn about the “delinquent” thing. Thats like a cyber Scarlet letter.

19.

Brooke

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

The best to all of these sistas.

Kelly if you are pregnant, congrats. I wish I had the money to have one now. I’m tryin to be responsible and wait til my funds are correct! lol

Beyonce, theres nothing wrong with wanting to be the BEST at what you do. If you wanna pre-release your album, thats your business. Do that!

and Farrah, no worries girl. Get ya bread up and put the site back up but BETTER than ever! So folks have nothing to say.

20.

life2fullest

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

She still didnt answer the dam question about the timing of the “pre-release strategy”. She skated around that question and added that Letoya’s fans are stirring something up-naw you did! On top of that how is Joe Jackson gonna act like he was in the loop on the album and when it would be released, based on a prior interview Ms. B herself said she kept it from him so whos lying. Somebody is and to say how much respect you have for her as a solo artist yeah whatever you still didnt respond to why it was released on the same day. Oh I forgot she’s good at running around the questions or just saying I dont talk about personal things. Yeah let Joe speak for you, next Tina and Kelly will be holding a press conference to field questions only B can answer since noone knew she was even working on an album.
I SMELL BULLSHI^!!

Aye did yall hear about Israel dropping a bomb on a children’s shelter in Lebanon. They killed like 50 people. Word on the street is that Beyonce and her dad orchestrated the whole thing so that people would forget about Letoyas album. I hear next she’s planning on assasinating Bush so black people will lover her again.

22.

Dré

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

I find it hard to accept that this whole album release stuff as coincidence but on the other hand what do they stand to gain by doing this. For all we know they could be in cahoots with Letoya.

Is she afraid to let someone else shine?? Bey….if you spend too much time in the sun honey, you will get burned. Truth.com

You know what,I am so sick of people thinking this girl did something to affect Letoya sales. I swear ya’ll think she is responsible for everything that goes wrong with anybody she was associated with.If people are feeling Letoya they are going to buy her album regardless. I wish some people would get off this “beyonce conspiracy” crap. Beyonce is going to sale regardless, just because she is beyonce.She don’t have nothing to worry about. Letoya going to sell.Just let the two ladies do there thing.It is the fans who is starting this mess.

I used to be a B fan. I can’t say that now. I have been disappointed for over a year now. People say one thing and then buck necked in a video. Whatever.

I recently have become somewhat of a fan of Keyshia Cole. What you see is what you get. Be real!

I wasn’t sure about getting LeToya’s CD. I heard Gangsta Girls and I LOVE IT! I don’t care for ‘She Don’t’ or the video. I love ‘Torn’ and the video.

I do smell a fish as someone else stated above. If your album’s name is B-DAy then why wouldn’t you drop it on ‘B-Day’.

Mess like that encourages me to run out and get LeToya’s CD. She is just starting out and I want her to do well. Is B surprised that her De Ja vu didn’t hit number 1 on BET like LeToya’s did?

Stay encouraged LeToya!

32.

Reese

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

Well I mean some albums are coming out before hers and they are not on Itunes yet…soooo.

I think it has to do with them trying to get her a number 1 Deja Vu is flopping on airplay so they not only put the single on itunes but the whole album which would help it out.

33.

Was Farrah the girl that left because she was pregnant? What was the scoop behind her departure-cause she was added along with Michelle, right?

yall are idiots.. her pre sales DO NOT AFFECT LETOYAS SALES… so what does it matter…people will buy Letoya.. she sold like 190k.. shes #1… as Bee will be too….its just building hype for Bday… calm the f**k down…

Its not a flop.. its the #1 on Itunes for a week tomorrow… and besides.. billboard hot 100 is based off 80% downloads… not airplay. granted her spins are dipping…. she is preforming at the MTV awards so Im sure its not done yet

37.

Emeraldgurl

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

I read along time in Sister 2 Sister that Farrah left because some of the things that you had to do to be in Destiny’s Child she could do. A few I remember were. .

She had to make Tina Knowles her hairstylist - She said this caused her hair to break off.

Had to tan to be darker so Beyonce’ could stand out.

Pay Solange a stipend out of their earnings.

No outside manager besides Matthew Knowles.

38.

Dré

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

Ok I’ve got the official conspiracy now.
As a reward for carrying HOD in her boutique, the Knowles decided to create some drama to help bring more attention to Letoya. This is why both sides claim nothing, as they are in cahoots with each other.

making people preorder to get the single on itune is def not standard business. still i have no reason to doubt them. what the devil does in the dark will come to light. this story has been written so many times before about aging celebs striving to maintain interest. it is what it is. i wish them all the best. i won’t be buying either. wake me up when christina and akeys albums release

So Miss Yvetter penned a statement, run it by Daddy Knowles and got the OK. Beyonce would wish to be that articulate (even though that statement really isn’t on its own merits, but still above Beyonce’s level). Then again that’s what publicists are for. Beyonce can stick to being “honored, excited and humbles” by everything in the world around her. Anything else that doesnt fall into this category, she has no comment on.

And can we stick to comparing apples to apples? We’re talking about music. Not clothing line. So they could have left that comparison out.

I dont even see why she released this press release. No one wish’s her well except for her true fans. Everyone else in the world is out to destroy the girl. Which is kinda pathetic. Let her do her and get on with your miserable lives.

Kelly prego or no prego, I still love and support her.

Farrah. Um. Get it together. Pay ya bills. Pay ya telophone bill, then maybe we can chill!

I dont think you do.. So me and you are through!

Well whatever anybody know the numbers for Letoya, did she debut at no. 1 or what!!! Hope so!!!

For the Beyonce fans. here are recent candid pics of her. Taken on Saturday on her way to “the usual” dinner with Jay. Look at Jay holding sleeping Baby Daniel. Bey looks cute. There are more pics of her further down the page.

Farrah looks kinda jacked up in that pic, I guess times are hard. So Kelly is not preggers, and if she was so what? She can handle the cost of raising a child. I really do think Bee cares for LeToya, I mean shyt they go back to the playground days, Bee’s label probably decided to pre-release it earlier, not her.

They do some sneaky stuff to try to keep that heifer on top. I see that a lot of people are catching on to their game and realizing that the only thing she is good at is making bubble gum lyrics and shaking her butt. Her mom and dad acts like pimps that needs to make their money. Also this first song she has released from this album does not make me want to every buy her album.

I think it was done on purpose. That’s just my speculation *shrugs* Deja Vu is still not #1 on the countdown and Letoya’s video is still on top of hers.

Beyonce will always have the spotlight. Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and let someone else shine even if you guys have prior “beef” It’s been what 5, 6 years?

I’m just waiting for the Stats cause I bought the album and I love it. Hope she’s #1. Tis all.

Peewee

Monday, July 31, 2006 /

Daddy Knowles should stay out of grown folks business.

I’m sure B knows how to handle her own. He always appears to want to add his two sense to everything.

With a man like Jay by her side, daddy is no longer needed. Just be daddy. I’m sure that’s the reason they are not married because of daddy.
