Kelly Rowland Michelle Obama's Got Enough Groove ... For Destiny's Child
If Destiny's Child is ever in the market for a fourth member, they don't have to look further than Michelle Obama, according to Kelly Rowland.
We got Kelly at LAX Friday where she told us Michelle can bust a move like no other. She saw firsthand this week at College Signing Day, a Philly event celebrating high school seniors pursuing higher education.
The former First Lady hosted and busted out some choreography with "Empire" star Jussie Smollett.
A lil dance yesterday w/ my 👸🏾@MichelleObama.💃🏿🕺🏾It’s been a good week so far🙏🏿😬Thank you Mrs. Obama for always being so kind and just down. Proud of the 8,000 kids that came out for #CollegeSigningDay. It’s just the beginning for y’all. #BetterMakeRoom #SumOfMusicTour pic.twitter.com/MO1szdkEve

So, we asked Kelly if Michelle got the same intense training DC did leading up to Coachella -- could she hold her own. Kelly hesitated at first, but it does look like Michelle could be a good backup plan if the trio hits the road again.

Beyonce Destiny's Child Reunion Not Over Still Hangin' With Kelly & Michelle
The Destiny's Child reunion is still going strong post-Coachella because all three ladies stepped out together Tuesday night in L.A. for a fashion event.
Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams attended the Dundas traveling pop-up store opening in West Hollywood. Beyonce wore the designer threads for her 2017 Grammy performance.
It's not unusual for Kelly and Beyonce to hang together offstage, but Michelle rarely tags along. She's there, but hard to spot ... in the back.
The trio are fresh off a highly successful Coachella reunion, but certainly looks like the show's not over yet.

Ex-Destiny's Child Singer Bey, I'm Down for a Reunion, Too ... Call Me?
Former Destiny's Child singer Farrah Franklin didn't join Beyonce on stage at Coachella, but she's making it clear -- she's fully on board for the next reunion ... if the queen will have her.
Farrah was a member of DC for about 6 months in 2000 -- she was on the "Say My Name" remix -- and she watched Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams onstage last weekend. Zero bitterness, though ... she says she was thrilled like everyone else.
She says she wasn't invited to be part of the Coachella gig -- and didn't really expect to be -- but she sounds keen on Bey organizing a more complete reunion in the future.
For now, Farrah's happy doing modeling, acting and her own music ... which includes a trap collab with Maino. All that being said, she'd squeeze in some time for her ex-group mates if the phone rings.

Beyonce Reunites with Destiny's Child ... For Coachella Day 2
Beyonce pulled a fast one at Coachella, fooling even us ... 'cause she reunited with her old Destiny's Child crew for one HELLUVA performance this weekend.
Bey took the stage late Saturday night as the Day 2 headliner, and after an already kick-ass performance ... she eventually brought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a long overdue Destiny's Child reunion, contrary to what we'd been told in December.
Bey and co. started out with a few DC classics ... going from "Lose My Breath" to "Say My Name" and even belting out "Soldier" too. That wasn't the end of the cameos, though. Beyonce also brought out her hubby, Jay-Z, to cover their hit 2012 song "Deja Vu."
Her sister, Solange, also joined her on stage at one point to dance. Speaking of dancers, Beyonce's stage was flooded with them ... as we first told you, upwards of 100 or so. As if that wasn't historic enough, she also touched a milestone as the first black woman to headline the festival.
Needless to say, Beyonce certainly made up for lost time after missing Coachella last year. She even addressed her absence, saying ... "I had time to dream with two beautiful souls in my belly and this is everything and more I had in my dream, so thank you for sharing this with me."
Eminem's got some big shoes to fill tonight.

Kelly Rowland Fur Protesters Crash Book Signing 'She's Got Blood On Her Hands!'
Fur protesters snuck up on Kelly Rowland at her book signing by pretending to be fans, then did a 180 and chanted she has blood on her hands.
Kelly was putting her Jane Hancock on copies of her new mom guide, 'Whoa, Baby,' Wednesday night at a bookstore in Ridgewood, NJ when all hell broke loose.
We're told protesters played it cool, asking for a photo with the Destiny's Child singer -- and that's when they unraveled their anti-fur posters, some of which were personalized for Kelly.
She played it cool ... standing off to the side as the protesters did their thing, and never engaged them in debate. Cops were not called, and they eventually were ushered out.

We got Kelly leaving Serafina in L.A. Saturday night, and we ask her if she's stoked about Lady Gaga doing the Pepsi halftime show at Super Bowl LI.
She definitely is ... but the DC alum clearly thinks Gaga's won't touch the one she did with Beyoncé. A wink and smile says a lot here.

Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment hosted the bash Thursday night at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in L.A. -- and the Queen herself performed after a screening of "Lemonade" ... which we're sure everyone there has seen A LOT by now.
Besides bearing witness to Bey live, guests also went home with Formation-themed goody bags full of popcorn and Lemonheads. Plus, they got a glimpse of Destiny's Child ... who reunited OFF stage for the event.
"Lemonade" might be played out among Parkwood employees, but getting to see Bey sing live can't get old, right?

Beyonce's dad is trying to make ends meet by unloading tons of her souvenirs from her career in a massive garage sale -- which also features Solange stuff ... in the bargain bin.
As we've told you ... Mathew Knowles is having baby mama troubles -- which might explain why he started selling off some Bey treasures outside his office in Houston last Friday.
As of Monday, there were plenty of items available ... including a giant Beyonce poster for $200, old tour books for $20, and various pieces of House of Dereon clothing. On a budget? You can find a Solange CD for $1.96.
In the non-Beyonce aisle -- Mathew's also selling office furniture ... so, it looks like a total fire sale.
We're told Mathew shunned an attempt to haggle the oversized Beyonce poster down to $145 ... standing firm at two hundy.
Daddy's baby needs a new pair o' shoes.

Destiny's Child Beyonce's Dad Hawking Biopic ... Sony Hack Reveals
Beyonce's dad tried to cash in on his famous daughter's name last year with a Destiny's Child biopic ... according to the latest batch of leaked Sony emails released by hackers.

However it doesn't look like they ever came to a deal. Lifetime is reportedly planning a D.C. movie next year, but unclear if Mathew's behind that one.
Another leaked email referenced a possible Kanye West feature film. A Yeezy staffer sent an email sent to Sony Pictures honcho Amy Pascal ... pitching her a movie project involving "cinematic and technological innovation."
Great -- Kanye ranting in 4D.

LeToya Luckett So ... Did She Buy Beyonce's Album?
Imagine for a second that you are LeToya Luckett. You were kicked out of Destiny's Child right when the group took off. You sued (not once, but twice) Beyonce, her father and Kelly Rowland.
It's been over 10 years since all that went down. Bey has gone out to become HUGE and last December she famously dropped her latest album with zero promotion and EVERYBODY was talking about it.
The question ... did you put aside your differences and fork over your hard-earned cash for a copy? Did you ignore it all together? Or did you download it illegally off a friend?
What would you do? What do you think she did ...
