The hacker has already posted Solange Knowles’s home address and personal phone numbers to Beyonce’s stylist, Chrissette Michelle, Vanessa Simmons, Mario and Tracy Edmonds.

The hacker has also posted nude pics from Dorian claiming, “dorion slept wit my nigga!!!!!!! now he pays!!!!!!!!! lolol,” and “tall dont understand dorian killed a friend of mine,” while also saying Dorian and a few other celebs are HIV+.

More details to follow as this story develops.

Solange premiered her latest performance online and ended up in the hospital battling dehydration. The singer took her fans along with her during this ordeal via Twitter. 

 

“I took a nyquil and i think maybe im getting high off it because im not sleeping. maybe i should close my eyes…”

“think im certified loosing (sic) it on nyquil. going to sleep before i start freestyling on the plane… omg (Oh my God) i didnt know nyquil could do this to you. i took the pills tho. cant stomach cough syrup. trying to be proactive on this flight.”

“Never taking nyquil again. I feel so weird.”

Three hour break.

“Woaah…… How’d I end up in the hospital? Woke up to 8 random people over me, laid out on the floor in baggage claim!… Guess I passed out! Scary. Hooked up to IV now . Apparantly I’m super dehydrated. I’ve never passed out before. S**t was like the movies. People standing over me saying ‘hello’… My mom is the best. LOL (laugh out loud). She’s like ‘Ain’t nothing wrong with this girl, she need some water and rest… Pull up the car!’ LOL. I’m like still in shock. I’ve never passed out before. Think it was the nyquil too. I felt weird when I woke up. This has been the day from hell. I’m done with the second IV. I just want to get in the bed and lay with (son) Julez. That’s all I want.

“I’m out! yay!… they let me go….. Rest. Water. Rest. Water.” 

The singer is home with family in Houston, Texas. 

Kelly Rowland has announced that she will no longer be managed by Beyonce’s father, Matthew Knowles. Knowles has managed Rowland since she was a child, even through the split of supergroup Destiny’s Child. On the breakup Rowland had this to say,

“Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance – both as a member of Destiny’s Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family.”

In the same statement, Matthew Knowles went on to say “After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny’s Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly.”

After struggling to find success in her solo career, Rowland has been spending time in Europe promoting and releasing her music. Reports surfaced late last year that Rowland was planning on separating from Knowles and signing with Simon Fuller of American Idol. No official announcement has been made by either Fuller or Rowland to date.

Metro Station, Metro Station: They might sound like a U.K. dance-pop sensation, but they’re no import. American born and bred, Metro Station has crossover appeal. The band’s music is as popular with the hipsters as it is with screaming teenage girls and it is that crossover appeal that ensures that Metro Station will have as long a career as it wants to.

Beyonce, I Am…Sasha Fierce: While this album just barely made it in before the new year, there is no doubt that it’s one of the strongest efforts put out by any artist this year. A double-disc offering that has something for everyone, I Am…Sasha Fierce is a true concept album. Whether you’re into the heartfelt ballads or the radio killers this album lives up to the massive press and promotion it received. Notable tracks include the stunningly beautiful, “Halo,” “Smash Into You, swaggertastic, “Ego,” ” Hello,” and the aptly named, “Radio.”

Will.I.Am, Songs About Girls: While not a commercial success, in terms of musicality, this album was nonetheless a stunning success. The extremely popular hit single “American Boy” was actually originally titled, “Impatient,” on Will’s album. While the track didn’t feature Estelle or Kanye West, the beat was still a monster. Songs About Girls is masterfully crafted and features a ton of “sleeper” songs such as “Heartbreaker,” “She’s A Star,” and The Donque Song” which features Snoop Dogg. Throw this gem on at a party and you’re guaranteed to get the room going.

N.E.R.D., Seeing Sounds: Is N.E.R.D. rock, pop or hip-hop? The answer is yes. Pharrell and company are at it again with their third studio album. This time around, the genre-defying N.E.R.D. hit us with a concept album based on the phenomenon known as synesthesia. Synesthesia is a neurologically-based phenomenon where the senses overlap, hence, Seeing Sounds. From start to finish, this album never lets up. Highlights include the oh so smooth, “Yeah You,” emotionally tinged, “Laugh About It” and the exuberant, “Everyone Nose.” Definitely a must have album of 2008.

Solange, Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams: Solange will always be compared to her bigger sister even though her music has very little in common with Beyonce’s. Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams is more of a throwback record than a contemporary pop album. Cuts like, “I Decided” and “Sandcastle Disco” are tinged with an old-school Motown feel that will always be popular. This album bucks the trend and Solange deserves credit for doing her own thing and pulling it off. 

The Hold Steady, Stay Positive: It’s one thing to follow up a classic album (Boys and Girls in America with one that is arguably better than its predecessor. It’s another to include three bonus tracks that rank with the best songs the band has written.

Southside Johnny. Grapefruit Moon: The Songs of Tom Waits: It’s all about the horns. Southside Johnny Lyons’ interpretations of classic Tom Waits tracks benefits from LaBamba and the Hubcaps rich horn section. The disc crackles with an energy nearly unmatched by any band recording this year.

Vampire Weekend, Vampire Weekend: One of the most-hyped new bands of the year lived up to expectations on their thrilling debut, which channeled mid-1980s, Graceland-era sounds with erudite, but not impenetrable, lyrics.

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Cardinology: The prolific Adams has had some hit or miss releases over the past few years, but his latest, Cardinology is a masterpiece. It’s country beats flow like a cool river and bathes you in a haunting pool of spirituality.

Ponytail, Ice Cream Spiritual: Fun. That’s what this album is. Fun. It’s a pop pleasure, that captures the band’s essence. Known for their energetic live shows, this album nearly captures that experience.

Amadou and Mariam, Welcome to Mali: The duo’s first album in three years hasn’t yet North American shores, but the hype is has generated on the other side of the pond is well-deserved. World music that is accessible, enthralling, and enlightening at the same time. Sheer genius.�

Note: This is not a countdown. These are the albums that filled our offices all year. Non-Stop, continuous play and sometimes feelings of hatred towards the employee who kept pressing repeat.

Beyonce performed a 2-hour show at The Bermuda Festival which took place at the National Sports Centre on the small island of Bermuda. The audiences was treated to most of hits including, “Independent Woman,” “Say My Name,” and, “Irreplaceable.” Beyonce was reportedly paid a staggering $1,000,000 for the show. This would include $500,000 for an appearance at the Bermuda music festival, with a further $500,000 to cover her expenses like nail polish, new luggage and a new bentley.

The singer also found time to give back to the children of the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation and take a dive at a South Beach Hotel with sister Solange who recently reveiled a song from Beyonce’s album, “I actually wrote a record for her, ‘Why Don’t You Love Me?’ and I’m so excited,” Solange revealed backstage while Beyonce was taking the stage. “It’s kind of a twist to it. It’s not a passive, whiney, ‘Why don’t you love me?’ [song],” she furthered. “It’s basically like you’re a fool if you don’t love me because I’m fly, I’m smart, My money’s right and I don’t need you for nothing and therefore you should love me.” Awww doesn’t it feel good to not be ghost-writing for your sister anymore. Must be gratifying!!!!
