They're back! Beyoncé took the stage for her long-anticipated performance at Night 2 of Coachella 2018, following her cancellation of her headlining set at the annual music festival last year due to her pregnancy with her twins. During the show, she bought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a Destiny's Child reunion! This marks Bey's first performance since the 2017 Grammy Awards and her first concert set since late 2016. For months, there had been rumors that the famed trio would reunite at Coachella. Destiny's Child last reunited on stage at the 2015 Stellar Gospel Music Awards. Two years prior, Rowland and...

From the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to the streets of Sesame, Ed Sheeran is clearly an everyman performer – no venue is too big, too small, too sexy, too childish.

On Wednesday, the singer-songwriter joined the cast of Sesame Street to perform a song about a very important subject: how to behave at school vs. how to behave at home.

"At home I can speak where I please. I can talk real loud into the breeze," he sings alongside Elmo, Cookie Monster and a few other puppets who are surprisingly adept at playing instruments despite puffy fingers. "In school I raise...

The beloved PBS program is the longest-running children's show in history and has won a staggering 159 Emmy Awards. Seeing as this educational show reaches 156 million kids worldwide in 150 countries, it's no wonder that the stars have been eager to show up on Sesame Street.

New York -- Former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams is joining the latest national tour of the musical "Fela!"

Producers said Thursday the singer, who starred on the Upn sitcom "Half & Half," will be onstage when the tour opens at Sidney Harman Hall in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29.

"Fela!" – a biography of Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti – will then play 16 cities, including Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and Nashville, Tenn. Williams will play Fela's African-American lover, Sandra Isadore.

Williams, part of Destiny's Child along with Kelly Rowland and Beyonce, is now a solo artist who has released the dance album "Unexpected" and the recent singles "On The Run" and ""Waiting On You." Jay-z, Beyonce's husband, is one of the producers of "Fela!" which won three Tony Awards in 2010.

The puppeteer who voices the Sesame Street character Elmo has been granted a leave of absence from the long-running children's show in the midst of an allegation that he had a past relationship with a 16-year-old boy.

The Sesame Workshop issued a statement Monday saying that it first learned about the allegation against 52-year-old Kevin Clash last June by a then 23-year-old man who claimed to have begun a relationship with Clash when he was 16.

"We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action," the statement said. "We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation."

Clash issued a statement on Monday to People.com through his rep. "I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter," he said. "I...

The former Destiny's Child singer leaps 65 places to three with 'If I Were A Boy', but T.I. continues to occupy the top two positions with 'Whatever You Like' and 'Live Your Life'.

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Beyonce Knowles will perform on the final episode of MTV's 'Total Request Live' November 16th, the network is reporting. Knowles, who has made a number of high profile appearance on the show, says she owes a lot to the video countdown show which premiered in 1998. "I can remember being 16 or 17 when they asked us to be on the show, and it was our big moment," she told host Damien Fahey. Although she looks back on the memory fondly, she admits that seeing a teen version of herself was weird. "It's not cool to document your moments at 17," she joked. Tuesday's episode was dedicated to counting down the singer's greatest video achievements. Even the pop star said it was crazy to see how far she's come over the last decade. "I mean, I dreamed [I would have this kind of success], but I never thought it would be a reality,...

They've yet to confirm their April 4 nuptials, but Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-z are certainly acting like newlyweds. After the rapper's sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. Wednesday night, the inseparable duo headed to his private dinner and after-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Tropicana Bar. Neither wore a wedding ring, but in all other ways they were the picture of wedded bliss. Knowles, 26, arrived just after 11 p.m. with Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams by her side – and her groom just a few steps behind, letting her lead the way. They headed upstairs to the "bridge" above...

Destiny's Child have announced they will split when their current tour ends in September to fans onstage at a concert in Spain on Sunday night. At the same time as the gig in Barcelona a statement was released in America confirming the news. The trio, which includes Beyonce Knowles, only recently reunited after a three year break, to record and promote new album Destiny Fulfilled. The statement reads: "We have been working together as Destiny's Child, since we were nine, and touring together since we were 14. After a lot of discussion and some deep soul searching, we realized that our current tour has given us the opportunity to leave Destiny's Child on a high note, united in our friendship and filled with an overwhelming gratitude for our music, our fans, and each other. After all these wonderful years working together, we realized that now is the time to pursue our personal goals and solo efforts in earnest. No matter what happens, we will always love each other as friends and sisters and will always support each other as artists. We want to thank all of our fans for their incredible love and support and hope to see you all again as we continue fulfilling our destinies." The news will be confusing to fans - earlier today the group's record label issued a statement denying they would split. It read: "It is not true. But it could be some years before they release another album."...

Destiny's Child, Elton John, Lenny Kravitz and Mary J. Blige will headline America's National Football League (NFL) Opening Kickoff - and they're on strict orders to be on their best behavior. Still reeling from Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" in February, when her exposed breast sparked a broadcasting decency shake- up, NFL bosses are promising to keep the newly-recruited stars in check. NFL officials plan to attend rehearsals, monitor song selections, choreography and staging. The NFL has also been assured by record companies that their artists will be well-behaved. The stars, including country singer Toby Keith, will headline the September 9 pre-game show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, preceding the season opener between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Jessica Simpson will perform at a separate show in Jacksonville, Florida.

Beyonce Knowles and Alicia Keys are reportedly on bad terms on their current Ladies First Tour - because both are grappling for star billing. The Destiny's Child star is apparently furious many critics have said Keys "steals the show", whilst Alicia is reportedly unhappy that Beyonce features far more prominently on the promotional posters for the extravaganza. A source tells Britain's "Heat" magazine, "There's barely a word exchanged between the two of them and their entourages are purposely kept separate. Beyonce is the tour headliner and Alicia feels as if she's being treated like a second class citizen." The source adds the disputes between the pop pair have got increasingly petty: "One argument between the two camps was whose bus was going to be closer to the back stage door, a distance of 40 feet at most."...
