	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/PharrellWilliams/view/74512/">'Get Lucky' singer Pharrell Williams </a>has signed up to appear on Rihanna's new Style Network show, 'Styled To Rock'.</p>
<p>The star already has 4 of his own clothing lines, namely Billionaire Boys Club, Billionaire Girls Club, Bee Line, ICECREAM, and will now join as a mentor on the show, which features 12 contestants who will take on challenges over 10 weeks for the chance to win the opportunity to design outfits for celebrities.</p>
<p>Salaam Coleman Smith, president of Style Media, spoke about the addition to the panel in an official statement: "We are delighted to have Pharrell, who is a driving force in both the music industry and fashion world, serve as a mentor on Styled To Rock."</p>
<p>"Pharrell's unique aesthetic and commitment to individuality combined with Rihanna's vision for this series will enable our aspiring designers to hone their craft and learn from the very people who set the trends."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/Rihanna/view/75686/">Rihanna's summer collection for River Island</a> will hit stores next week (May 15) and she explained that it was inspired by the style of her own team: "I made a piece for everybody in my crew, we all have different body types and different tastes - some are braver than others. I think like that because that's how women in the world are. We're all different, we like different things, we have different occasions and different moods."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Nick Grimshaw has insisted he still loves <a href="/pg/newsdesk/robbiewilliams" target="_blank">Robbie Williams</a> despite the singer having a go at him for calling his music "irrelevant".</p>
<p>As <a href="/pg/newsdesk/robbiewilliams/view/75650/?isworld=y" target="_blank">previously reported</a>, the 'Take The Crown' star took aim at the BBC Radio 1 DJ at an awards ceremony recently after his show seemingly dodged playing his new music last year.</p>
<p>However, it seems there's no bad blood between the pair, with The Sun quoting Grimshaw as saying that he's still a fan of the singer. He said:</p>
<p>"I think he was so funny. I love him and he's really cool. He should have his own radio show. I'd have him on every morning."</p>
<p>The DJ added: "It's all nonsense &ndash; my show played 'Candy' twice."</p>

<p>"Right now my brain is shutting everything down, making me pretend that everything is normal. It still amazes me that everyone is so crazy about what we are doing. I'm like, either I am crazy or everybody's crazy. Maybe I am just dreaming but people seem to really freak out at what we are doing. I don't know why!"</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/65524/">Singer Michelle Williams</a>, of Destiny's Child fame, has explained that she decided to allow cameras into her life and home to capture the relationship she has with her own sisters for a new TV series.</p>
<p>Speaking to Fox News Rising, she confessed that the show, entitled 'My Sister's Keeper', is very personal to her but she wanted to do it as she knew it would make her closer to her family:</p>
<p>"I can't believe I am doing this. It's titled My Sister's Keeper. It's just (about my) life, about myself and my two sisters as we try to figure things out."</p>
<p>"We are getting to know each other. You know, I left home when my baby sister was eight, so I kind of missed a lot of her growing up. They just expressed to me, 'We just miss you.'"</p>
<p>She added: "So it'll be a great way to just kind of show that dynamic... I'm ready for people to get to know me."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams has opened up on the band's recent reunion.</p>
<p>The R&amp;B group - who also feature <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce" target="_blank">Beyonc&eacute;</a> and Kelly Rowland - turned heads recently by confirming the release of new song 'Nuclear'.</p>
<p>They also performed live at the NFL Super Bowl event in New Orleans on Sunday (February 3) as they turned back the clocks.</p>
<p>Speaking to Billboard, Williams said that she had a "blast" working again with her bandmates on stage. She said:</p>
<p>"When three good girlfriends are together, you're free and you don't care who's around; you're just trying to catch up and be goofy. I had a blast. People at home watching...they don't catch the moments where, like in the 'Charlie's Angels' pose, I was smiling. We were all smiling. I was laughing with my girls. I don't care what anybody else says. I don't let it get me down. It was a beautiful thing."</p>
<p>Speaking about the chances of performing again, Williams added: "It's a possibility. I think this was a good moment, and it felt good for all of us and you definitely want those moments again."</p>

<p>The international superstar will perform live at the coveted event at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on February 3.</p>
<p>Much speculation has surrounded the performance since Beyonc&eacute;'s involvement was announced, and now the singer has shared a series of backstage snaps.</p>
<p>Posting the rehearsal photos on her Instagram page on Saturday, the star gave fans a taste of what's to come during the performance. &nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/66282/" target="_self">Williams recently played down the talked-about event to MTV News,</a> explaining: "Unfortunately, I honestly can't say. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. It seems quite impossible because of our own individual schedules. My opening night for 'Fela!' is January 29. I've been in rehearsals for that, so I haven't had time to think about learning anything else."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/65524/">Songstress Michelle Williams</a> has confessed that getting back in the studio with Destiny's Child gave her shivers.</p>
<p>The girls have reunited for a new album, which features a brand new song entitled 'Nuclear', and Williams explained to MTV that recording with them again just felt right:</p>
<p>"It was a bunch of fun. It was just picking up right where we left off. The harmonies and just us stacking [vocals]. Beyonce laid hers first, then I'd go and lay another note to the bottom, and I'm like, 'Wow, this is dope.'"</p>
<p>"I literally got goose bumps. [After hearing it,] Beyonce sent an email like, 'Man, we sound good together!' I'm like, 'Duh, that's what we do, boo! That's what we do!'"</p>
<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/64961/">She added that 'Love Songs' might be a new album</a>, but she doesn't want fans to get their expectations up and hope for a tour because nothing is set in stone regarding Destiny's Child's future:</p>
<p>"We're not promising anything, but we just wanted to say, 'Hey, we still got it,' and we just wanted to give fans something just to say thank you and that we really love you."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/64562/">Destiny's Child songstress Michelle Williams</a> has called for people to lay off from criticizing <a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/newsdesk/">Beyonc&eacute;</a> after it was reported that she may have mimed her way through the inaugural performance of 'The Star Spangled Banner'.</p>
<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/beyonce/view/65899/">The US Marine Corps Band revealed that Beyonc&eacute; sang over a pre-recorded vocal</a> and lip-synched to the song, but today (January 23) a <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/66014/?isworld=y">group of sound production experts disputed their claims</a> and gave supporting evidence, but no official comments have been made as of yet regarding the issue.</p>
<p>Despite this, Williams told Entertainment Tonight that it shouldn't be a big deal because everyone knows that the 'Halo' hitmaker is more than capable of singing live and even her idol, Whitney Houston, once mimed the national anthem so it is acceptable:</p>
<p>"I will say this, it's not the first or the last time that someone has had to lip-synch... My greatest singer of all time, Whitney Houston, it came to light that her anthem was in fact lip-synched."</p>
<p>"With big crowds and echoes, you know when it's a big historical moment, you don't want any room for any mistakes, so I can understand why it was done."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams reveals life-long depression struggle]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/64961/">Michelle Williams, of Destiny's Child fame</a>, has revealed that she has been battling depression since she was a teenager.</p>
<p>During an interview with the Associated Press, the singer, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/64562/">who recently signed up to be a new cast member in the stage musical 'Fela!'</a>, explained that she often finds it hard to get out of bed and wants to speak about it to encourage other sufferers to get the help they need:</p>
<p>"I had to choose to get out of bed and do whatever I needed to do to be happy. We're taught, 'Just go to church and pray about it. The Lord is going to heal you.'"</p>
<p>Referring to the stigma attached to discussing mental health, she urged people to seak and accept treatment because it's such a tough thing to face alone and silently:</p>
<p>"Well, in the meantime, I believe God-gifted people, physicians, doctors, therapists &mdash; that's your healing. Take advantage of it. Go see a professional so that they can assess you. It's OK if you're going through something. Depression is not OK, but it is OK to go get help.&rdquo;</p>
