Celebrity Pay Dirt
Beyonce's Own Melrose Place -- For the Homeless

Posted Sep 12th 2007 1:15PM by TMZ Staff

Singer/actress/designer Beyonce can now add one more title to her resume -- landlord!
Beyonce and Kelly Rowland
While they may not be singing together, former Destiny's Child members Beyonce and Kelly Rowland have reunited -- to open an apartment building for at risk populations in Houston. Can you pay my bills?!

The Knowles-Rowland Temenos Place Apartments will be a 43 unit, single room occupancy housing facility for men and women who are taking steps to improve their lives, after traumatic events of both natural and personal disasters. Save a spot for Britney!

1. Wasn't Paris supposed to do something like this for women getting out of prison? I'm sure she's still working on it...

2. Wow, super, girls! What a rare news item, young entertainers doing something with their money besides just shopping and partying and clubbing. Such good examples of trying to make a positive difference in this world.

5. KUDDOS KUDDOS to 2 young Stars who are actually trying to make a difference in this world (even if only in Houston).

Boyonce and Kelly are sweet angels.

BRAVO

and I HIGHLY DOUBT that what Paris says she will do, will ever be done...she's way to selfish to help people in need, and it might cost the people she's trying to help a fortune if she ever opened up a Halfway house for women.

9. yea lets see how long this lasts..... if its to house those Katrina evacuees, those lazy bums will never leave ... they are so lazy who want to be supported by the hard working tax payers .... just plain ole bums...

Houston forever regrets brining them here. FEMA still can't get those lazy women off their butts. Only thing they know how to do is get pregnant by the men of their own kind. Just a horrible group of people who really need to go back to Louisisana.
