First of all we have a new festive album. 5 of the expected 11 tracks have already recorded and it is known that Michelle (Williams) will sing 'O Holy Night', a duet by Beyoncé and her younger sister, Solange Knowles, and that each member is set to perform a solo track.

The album is due for release in November on the Music World label.

On top of that, there are to be dolls of the band members released. All 3 of them will be available for Xmas with a selection of wardrobe designs for each member (so now I know what Sean wants for Xmas!)

Last of all, after the festive period, all 3 members will start recording their respective solo albums.

According to reports, Beyoncé will do a pop and R&B album, Kelly (Rowland) an alternative and R&B disc, and Michelle will record a gospel LP.

In a rather odd twist, all 3 albums are to be released at the same time, but not in competition alledgedly. Apparently it is so they can all support each other once they are out.
