Geffen Ends Relationship with Solange Knowles
Following news that Kelly Rowland may have been dropped by Columbia Records — which was later cleared up, and she remains on the label — there is some more label drama in the Beyonce/Destiny’s Child camp.

The figure is beside President Obama’s likeness, which was unveiled in February 2008. (Continue Reading…)

Since it happened back in February, fans have reacted with mixed feelings to the various stages of the incident, and Brown’s not-guilty plea is no different. Most fans think he made the wrong decision. “I don’t think that that’s right.
