New York Post: Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland are still tight after their days together as members of Destiny’s Child. Just after Rowland checked into the Empire Hotel Thursday night, Knowles arrived there with her bodyguard, who waited two hours in the lobby while she visited her old bandmate in a suite upstairs.

What is your attitude towards collaboration with peers in the pop music scene? Is it an idea which scares, excites, or even interests you?
At this moment, I don’t want to do any collaborations, especially contemporary ones. I want to stand on my own two feet. This new album is my chance to create what in 20 years will be seen as my iconic moment. That’s what you should always aim at. Today, collaborations are about appealing to a wider market and gaining radio plays and album sales, above artistic integrity. She is a real good person, Beyonce, I mean I would say she is my favorite contemporary person in pop music. She is a lovely, lovely person and she is so kind. I don’t know how anyone could ever say one bad thing about her, to be honest.

If you go pick up a copy of the latest Rolling Stone magazine, you’ll see a list of their greatest songs of all time.  Beyoncé was included! She was one of the first (and one of very few) women on the list, so congratulations to Bey!

Randomly, the original Me, Myself & I video just leaked.  This was the original version of the video but was scrapped in favor of the one we have now.  Enjoy!

Beyonce was seen wearing a ‘Let Me Eat Cake’ t-shirt as she and Jay-Z headed to Cipriani restaurant on Fifth Avenue for a bite to eat.
