Beyonce: Destiny's Child to Reunite

STEPHEN M. SILVERMAN

people.com

 

Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams -- collectively known as Destiny's Child -- will reunite in the studio to begin work on their first album of new material together in more than two years, lead singer Knowles tells Reuters.

 

"Destiny's Child will be back in the studio in January," she says. When last seen in a studio together, the Grammy-winning R&B trio put together "Survivor," their top-selling third album, in 2001.

 

The three singers went their separate ways later that year in pursuit of solo projects. Knowles, 22, took to the silver screen, with her role as Foxxy Cleopatra in 2002's "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (not to mention the upcoming movie, "The Fighting Temptations," opening Friday). She also scored a hit earlier this year with her solo record, "Dangerously in Love."

 

Rowland made her solo debut last year with the alternative-sound "Simply Deep," while Williams recorded the gospel "Heart to Yours."

 

Knowles says she may also release another collection of her own songs before the new Destiny's Child effort, and went on to say that the trio, which started 10 years ago, will also be looking to develop a fresh sound.

 

"I recorded about 45 songs for my record, but only put 15 on it," Knowles revealed. "I still have a lot of songs that I really love that I couldn't put on the record. So I might be releasing another record of my unreleased songs before the Destiny's Child record comes out."

 

As for the "new" Destiny's Child: "I want us to work together from the very start on every song because everybody has grown so much," she said. "It's been a couple of years. I know the sound is going to mature and be a little different. We have to figure it out."

DESTINY'S FUTURE

 

There may be a light up ahead for Destiny's Child fans who have been waiting for the band to reunite. After a nearly three-year break, Michelle Williams says the group is heading back to the studio in June. "I've very excited about the reunion," Williams told Daily Insider at the L.A. premiere of Johnson Family Vacation (which costars Solange Knowles, Beyonce's sister). "We haven't picked producers yet, but Kelly (Rowland) had a concept for the album and what we would do." Williams told us more at a Tommy Hilfiger event in Orange County, outside L.A.: "We're hoping that (the new Destiny's Child album) will come out by the Christmas holidays, but we have to see. We're still all doing our own things. We all need to get together and say, 'Okay.' We just have a ball. I saw Beyonce's show in Chicago; me and Kelly were with her in San Antonio. We love and support and just have a ball. And even though we were away, we know what our first priority is, and that's Destiny's Child."

We Are Family

Beyoncé Knowles, sister Solange and band bud Kelly Rowland croon a stylish note at the Los Angeles premiere of Johnson Family Vacation . B.Kno resonates in a dusty denim and a sexy sheer chiffon top, Solange stays in tune in a white cotton summer dress and Kelly punches up the chorus with a bright yellow zip-front peasant smock top and low-rise flares. Now, this is what we call three-part harmony.

Destiny's Child Reunites for 'Billion'(Thursday, June 24 01:42 PM)LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - It took a billion dollars to get Destiny's Child back together.All right, so that's not entirely accurate, although it's safe to assume that Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams are well-compensated. It's a fact, though, that the platinum-selling group will be featured on ABC's "Play for a Billion" special in September.The Pepsi-sponsored special, in which contest winners will get a shot at a nine-zero grand prize, is set to air Sept. 12. The show will feature one of Destiny's Child's first gigs as a group in close to two years, performing a song from their new album."We are really looking forward to getting back on stage and performing together as a group," Knowles says. "The Pepsi 'Play for a Billion' show is a great place to share our new music.""Play for a Billion" will give several hundred people who enter a Pepsi-run sweepstakes a chance to win $1 billion, the biggest prize ever awarded in a sweepstakes game. Chances are fairly slim that someone will walk away one of the richest people on the planet, but one finalist is guaranteed to win $1 million.Damon Wayans ("My Wife and Kids") will host the show, which is moving to ABC from The WB.

Destiny's Child Lovin' McDonald's Deal

Justin Timberlake is out, and Destiny?s Child is in ? as the new faces on McDonald?s.

 

The burger giant's two-year-old "I'm Lovin' It" ad campaign, which has been featuring Timberlake and his recognizable five-note jingle, will be taken over by the pop trio of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, in a bid to expand the Golden Arches' appeal among children and, importantly, their mothers, reports Reuters.

 

"We believe this appeals to kids, and when kids are happy Mom is happy," said McDonald's global marketing chief Larry Light in a statement following a Wednesday press conference.

 

He declined to say how much his corporation was paying the singers, or when the new Destiny's Child ads would begin to appear.

 

Said Beyonce in a statement: "We're lovin' the chance to work with McDonald's and know that together we'll create lots of fun and cool surprises. ... McDonald's shares our passion for music, so we can't wait to start connecting to our fans."

 

Timberlake, meanwhile, has not commented on being pushed aside, but he will make his final appearance for the chain this week in Toronto, Light said. He added that the star's "I'm Lovin' It" song will continue to figure prominently in McDonald's advertising.

 

They sure do look different in that photo...

Stork Visits Solange, "Scooby" Star

Aunt Beyoncé spilled the beans on her baby sister's new baby.

 

Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's 18-year-old, pop-singing sibling, gave birth to her first child last week.

 

It was Beyoncé who broke the news, telling E! Saturday at the star-studded Carousel of Hope fundraiser in Los Angeles that "my sister just had a baby four days ago."

 

Indeed, Solange gave birth Oct. 18 to a baby boy named Daniel Julez J. Smith. Not so little Daniel tipped the scales at nine pounds, four ounces upon his grand entrance in a Los Angeles hospital. He is the first child for Solange and her husband, Daniel Smith.

 

The younger Knowles married Smith, a University of Texas football player, in February (you do the math) in a small ceremony in the Bahamas attended by her family, including Beyoncé and cousin Kelly Rowland.

 

Though Solange was once rumored to be joining Destiny's Child as a fourth member, those plans have apparently been put on hold as she builds her own career.

 

The younger Knowles, who like her diva sister prefers using just her first name, recently starred in Johnson Family Vacation opposite Cedric the Entertainer and Bow Wow, and she has been putting the wraps on a new solo album, the follow-up to her 2003 debut, Solo Star.

London's Date with Destinypeople.comWhen Destiny's Child visited London's Virgin Megastore this week, they were greeted by throngs of fans who had lined up (or "queued up," as they say across the Pond) for hours to catch a glimpse of the bootylicious troika. "They got here and it was complete chaos. The crowds were so bad outside that the car couldn't even get right up to the door for them to get out!" says a spy. Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who signed copies of their single "Lose My Breath," were in high spirits as they sang along to the song, on constant replay in the store, and sipped bottles of water with the labels removed (as per their Pepsi contract). Their CD, Destiny Fulfilled, hits stores Nov. 16.

Beyonce Justifies McDonald's Contractimdb.comPop beauty Beyonce Knowles has leapt to the defense of her contract with fast food giants McDonald's - insisting she has always loved eating the chain's food. Knowles' group Destiny's Child have signed a deal with the American restaurant company to sponsor their forthcoming 2005 tour. And despite mixed reactions from fans and media critics, Knowles insists she's delighted with the business venture. She enthuses, "The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads. This was before we knew we were working with McDonald's." Knowles is sure to horrify Super Size Me documentary director Morgan Spurlock - who became ill after living on McDonald's food for 30 days - by admitting she feasts on McDonald's food on a daily basis. She explains, "I ate McDonald's every day when we were recording. We get the chance to visit children at Ronald McDonald houses, where some are sick and some have different things going on with them. So hopefully we get a chance to help put smiles on their faces. To be part of that is beautiful."
