Over the past year, Michelle Williams have been on the Chicago play, "The Color Purple". This May, Michelle is ready to release a new R&B-infused record. (As reported on here, Michelle is departing her gospel roots on her upcoming album). The Destiny's Child soulful member recently updated her myspace blog saying that she recorded a new song called, "CURIOSITY" which was produced by Rodney Jerkins. Last we heard of Michelle on the musical tip, she appeared alongside her Destiny's Child counterparts (Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland) and Solange Knowles for the 2007 BET Awards performance of Get Me Bodied. In her latest myspace blog entry, Michelle took the opporunity to dish out on blogs reacting to lack of Michelle's press coverage:

Now I know that I shouldn't be on the gossip blogs but I do go on there to see what's goin on in the industry and what consumers are buying into!! I read some thing that said Michelle has vanished into nowhere!!!! That is so not true!!! I've been working!!! It's just that the things that I've been involved in don't get the publicity that they should!!! I've been doing my acting thing...and I'm having the time of my life!!! Just bcuz I'm not in US Weekly everyday and the paparazzi isnt following me around (which I'm happy about bcuz I have a life) doesnt mean that I'm less of an artsist or my profile isnt great!!! To me...it aint about the cameras and the best clothes.....it's about my happiness and me doing what I wanna do when I want to do it!!!!! I'm happy that I can make my own choices and do things that don't have the bright lights attached to it!!!!

Great to know that Michelle's taking fame with a grain of salt.
