If you remember, after her unprecedented success with Destiny's Child, Williams crossed over to the gospel world with her solo album 'Do you Know' in 2004 (above). The pictures below are from the set of the former Destiny's Child member's new music video. What do ya think?

Michelle Williams...is that you?
It's All About the Benjamins Baybee!!!
Who is she?
Liya Kebede
What is she famous for?
Liya was the first woman of African origin to become the face of Este Lauder, which turbo-charged her career and made her a new favorite with just about every label. She has since become an inspiration for minority models, especially those of Ethiopian decent because, quite frankly, there are not many Ethiopian supermodels.
Why is this blog about her?
Because this woman is married to this guy..
60 year old Kassy Kebede, a Hedge Fund Manager, worth an estimated $500 million!
Don't they make a cute couple?
A supermodel and an older wealthy man. Most people probably ponder whether or not she married him for the money or not. Was it he who helped jump-started her career? Would she still have married him had he not been a multi-millionaire and apart of the growing lower class? Well, she has two beautiful kids by him and is now living in New York City raising her family. If she really wanted to, she wouldn't have to work another day in her life! But no, miss thang is still doing her modeling thing.
Mamas a beast on the runway! Betta ask about her!
Life-like art
Check out this dope artist!
Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since..

His work is lifelike but not life size, and being face to face with the tiny, gossiping Two Women (2005) or the monumental woman In Bed (2005) is an unforgettable experience.
