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

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!

18. Why is it Beyonce in the headline when they both equally invested in this project. Dont get me wrong I love Bey but come one Kelly should get more exposure than what you all give her credit for

19. Wow, Beyonce and Kelly really have it together - what a nice thing for them to do. I don't agree that it's a hand out, it looks to me like a hand up where people can pay rent, have a roof over their heads, develop a routine, have somebody who believes in them (Beyonce and Kelly no less!).

I have to wonder whether Oprah's been been 'counselling' them, not that that's a bad thing . . . what better role model is there than Oprah? But honestly, this project has Oprah written all over it . ..

20. Must be nice! I wish I was on welfare and medicaid. I bust my !#@ every week at work and don't even live in a place as nice as that. Maybe I should have a bunch of bastard babies and get paid for it too! Hey Beyonce, want a real sob story?

In all seriousness, hat's off to Beyonce and Kelly.

23. Good for them and they didn't have to have DUI's to coax them into giving back. Keep up the great work ladies.

24. GREAT!! @ least they are trying to help the AMERICAN PEOPLE!! Unlike bradelina & the gang!!

THANK GOD SOMEONE STILL BELIEVES IN AMERICA & THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!

Maybe others like themselves will take notice & do the same, give back!!

25. IT WILL ALWAYS BE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN TO DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL LIKE THIS FOR POOR BLACK PEOPLE. NOW IF ONLY THE SUPER RICH AFRICAN AMERICAN ATHLETES, RAPPERS, ACTORS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE STEP UP TO THE PLATE TO DO THE SAME THING WE WILL END HOMELESSNESS FOR OUR PEOPLE WITHIN A DECADE. KOBE BUYING HIS WIFE A FIVE MILLION DOLLAR RING FOR EXAMPLE.

27. Huh. Wow, that's great!! Good job girls!

28. This is such positive, wonderful news. But there are celebrites like these girls who have been doing great deeds such as this for years -- but shy away from media attention about their work with good causes. (Talk about character!) I only wish we could hear more stories like these.

Kudos to Bey and Kelly!

29. Beyonce does a lot for Houston - she already has some kind of charity in the Inner Loop, it's a big building off I-45 by the Medical center. And she has participated in many food drives with the pastor of her church. She is a Houstonian we are very proud of!
