The three “bootylicious” vocalists from the Grammy-winning R&B act Destiny’s Child are parting ways to pursue solo projects for the near future, they said in a television interview aired on Wednesday. “Well, Destiny’s Child put out four albums in four years, which is unbelievable,” lead singer Beyonce Knowles told cable network E! Entertainment Television in an interview conducted last week. “We’ve been working… nonstop.

He was called the “Quiet Beatle,” but “Frustrated Beatle” may have been a better tag for George Harrison, who found himself overshadowed in the Fab Four by two of the most important songwriters in history. Still, the guitarist managed to create a memorable body of work with the Beatles, and he notably turned his bandmates onto Eastern mysticism. Harrison, who died in Los Angeles Thursday after a long battle with cancer, wrote and sang such Beatles nuggets as “Something,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes The Sun” and “Taxman.” After the Beatles broke up, he embarked on a patchy… Read more »

There, Metropolis, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the “Quiet Beatle” who died on Thursday of cancer, joined teary-eyed fans, many of them middle-aged ex-hippies, who gathered near the Beatles’ star on Hollywood’s “Walk of Fame” to leave flowers, candles, and silently pray for the rock icon who was so much a part of their youth. “I met him once in 1979. He walked into this bar and saw me and said to his bodyguard, ‘That… Read more »
