Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland has reportedly left her record label Columbia Records.

Rowland’s latest album “Ms. Kelly” was considered a commercial flop, and the record label no longer considers her to be commercially viable.

Ironically, Rowland dropped Beyonce’s father Matthew Knowles as her manager two months ago.  (Click here for more info on her split with Knowles).

Rowland had much success as a member of the R&B group Destiny’s Child alongside Beyonce and Michelle Williams. 

Since the group broke up, Rowland has failed to reach the same level of success as Beyonce, which might be part of the reason she was let go from her record label. 

However, Rowland has had success in movies.  She had a major role in the 2003 horror flick “Freddy vs. Jason” which made $115 million at the box office worldwide. 

Maybe she should take on more acting roles since her music career isn’t panning out.

T-Pain loses his teeth

t-pain

Hip hop star T-Pain lost his teeth in a golf cart accident during the weekend.

He fell off of a golf cart and suffered cuts and bruises on his face as well as losing four teeth.

That must have been one nasty fall.  He should probably avoid all golf carts from now on.

T-Pain is currently on tour with Lil Wayne.  He missed Friday’s concert in San Jose to recover from his injuries.

T-Pain became famous in 1995 with his hit songs “I’m Sprung” and “I’m In Love With A Stripper.”

He also produced songs for various musicians including Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Mariah Carey.

Paris Hilton and boyfriend involved in nightclub fight

paris-hilton1Paris Hilton and her brand new boyfriend Doug Reinhardt were involved in an altercation that occurred early Friday at a nightclub in Miami.

It all started when Paris walked up to the DJ booth to request some different songs because the songs the DJ was playing were giving Paris a migraine.  (as if the whole world must cater).

The nightclub security guard allegedly pushed Paris, and her boyfriend came to her defense.  The boyfriend began fighting with the security guard.

Paris left the scene without any injuries whatsoever, but her boyfriend wasn’t so lucky.  He ended up with a fat bloody lip.

The police arrived, but no arrests were made.  It’s uncertain why the security guard would want to push her.

Maybe he was offended because she requested Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas.

Singer arrested for sex act on airplane

elvis-crespoLatin music singer Elvis Crespo is accused of performing a sexual act on himself while traveling on an airplane from Houston to Miami.

According to the Associated Press, various passengers on the airplane allege they saw Crespo perform a sex act to himself underneath a blanket, then he exposed himself to other passengers. 

The airplane captain notified the air traffic control officials about the incident.  When the plane landed in Miami, police questioned the singer when the plane landed, but they didn’t arrest him.

If the allegations are true, I don’t know what was going on in Crespo’s head.  I wonder if he was drunk and couldn’t control himself?

Regardless, an airplane is not the proper place for this type of behavior.  He should have just waited until he arrived at his destination in Miami.

Isaiah Washington owes $100,000 in rent

isaiah-washingtonIsaiah Washington’s landlord filed legal papers March 24 against the actor claiming he owes $100,000 in back rent.

The landlord alleges Washington hasn’t paid his rent in five months.  He’s now on the verge of becoming evicted.

Washington starred on the ABC drama “Greys Anatomy” from 2005 to 2007 until he was fired for allegedly using a homophobic slur against his co-star T.R. Knight, who is openly gay.

He’s hasn’t really done much since “Greys Anatomy,” so it’s no surprise that he’s having trouble paying the rent.

LeAnn Rimes kisses husband after cheating on him

leann-rimes3

A few days after country singer LeAnn Rimes was caught on surveillance camera kissing another man, she’s now trying to prove that she doesn’t have any marital problems whatsoever.

Rimes is married to dancer Dean Sheremet, but US Weekly obtained a survelliance video tape last week that shows the singer kissing her co-star and holding his hand while on a date at a restaurant.

However, earlier today, Rimes and her husband started kissing in front of the paparazzi to try to prove that they are happily married.

Who knows? Maybe they really are happily married.  Maybe her husband really doesn’t mind that she was cheating on him with another man.  Maybe they have an open relationship.

There are a lot of unanswered questions with this situation. Click here to watch the video tape of Rimes cheating on her husband.
