It was officially announced Wednesday that R&B singer Kelly Rowland will no longer be recording under Columbia Records as a solo artist. Rowland cites the need to explore new directions, challenges and freedoms outside of her own comfort zone as main reason for the amicable departure with the label.

“Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching,” said Kelly Rowland. “As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they’ve shown and I will never forget how many good times we’ve had over the years.”

Rowland will continue her relationship with Columbia Records as a member of Destiny’s Child.

Andre "3000" Benjamin Mugshot Your boy Andre Benjamin got himself a free, all expense paid trip to Henry County Jail after he was arrested for speeding this weekend in his home state of Georgia.

Authorities say the Outkast rapper was doing 109 mph in a 65 mph zone, which was identified as a suburban highway in Atlanta. After he was booked and took his mugshot pic, he was released on $1,200 bail.

Police say Andre told them his reason for speeding was because he missed his exit and had to turn around. His car of choice? A Porsche! No wonder he was zoomin, haha.

We’ve been hearing rumors of her flirting and hooking up with other dudes (Wilmer Valderama, Brody Jenner, Frankie Delgado) and with her cooperating with the DA in this Chris Brown case, we’re pretty sure she is.
