DESTINY'S CHILD REUNITED
Michelle Williams and Beyonce Knowles were spotted at (new X-Factor Judge) Kelly Rowland's surprise birthday party which was hosted by Tank and LaLa Vasquez at Opera in Hollywood last night. This marks the first public appearance of Kelly with her former Destiny's Child bandmates after she split up with her manager Mathew Knowles. (Kelly's actual birthday is today - February 11, 1981.)

Michelle Williams (in Giusseppe Zanotti silver-toe pumps) performed at the Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks last week. Beyonce and Solange's cousin Angela Beyince were there to show Michelle support. I'm loving Michelle's hairstyle. Next for Michelle is her upcoming remix album.

Michelle Wiliams (in Black Halo) attended this year's OUT 100 Awards in New York City. In case you missed it, check out more footage from Michelle's recent AOL Sessions below. I think Michelle should stick with "Hello Heartbreak" (see performance clip below) as her next single off her album, "Unexpected."

A new creative commerical spot for Kanye West's upcoming album "808's & Heartbreak" created buzz on the music blog scene. Without giving too much away Kanye's "heart" is beating along to the melody of his hit "Love Lockdown." The reason why maybe because Kanye is tired of being alone. Check it out.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS COVERS RIHANNA'S MJ REMIX
First Aretha Franklin did a cover song and now Michelle Williams. Michelle did a cover of Rihanna's hit, "Don't Stop The Music" for Pepsi Smash. "Don't Stop The Music" is actually a modern take on MJ's 1983 hit "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." She did a great job and I love how she rearranged it to fit her jazzy vocals. (Thanks Stuff Fly People Like!)



She also performed "Hello Heartbreak" with even more sass.




Rihanna vs MJ

Which verison do you prefer?

Janet Jackson gave Tyra Banks a quick behind-the-scenes glimpse of her "Rock Witchu" tour. Tyra wore a Eyptian-inspired Mara Hoffman top...just like the dress version Rihanna and Sy Smith wore recently.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon filmed her music video, "I Stay In Love" in Las Vegas. "I Stay In Love" was produced by Bryan-Michael Cox and it's the fourth single to be released from Mariah's 11th studio album, "E=MC2". Her husband Nick served as the video's director...and to that I say I like these two together. (I love those Minx nails Mrs. Cannon had on!)

More photos taken from Solange's "T.O.N.Y" music video shoot surfaced onto the blog scene. She was spotted on the set with her son Daniel "Juelz" Smith, her sister Beyonce, Teyana Taylor, and Cee-Lo. Needless to say, this video was long overdue as it's been a fan favorite off her sophomore disc, "Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams."

UPDATE: So I found the exact shades Michelle has on for her "Walk Across America" appearance. Michelle popped out the lens of her Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses which was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the cult classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
