Singer/actress/designer Beyonce can now add one more title to her resume -- landlord! 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!
16. Good for them! Cheers! Bravo! It's so nice to hear good news like this. Maybe they'll spur other stars and the public to think more about doing positive like this in their communities. Thanks to TMZ for covering this one!

17. ......................WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Bloggers all saying nice things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...thats a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
19. wow nothing negative.... way to go ... but I know some idiot will did up something bad, b/c they can't stand to see nice comments... i love you girls..
21. 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
22. 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 . ..
In all seriousness, hat's off to Beyonce and Kelly.

25. 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?
27. 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!!

28. 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.

29. What a good news day; Clooney being kind to a homeless man, Beyonce and Kelly giving back. If more news days went like this more people might be inspired to do positive things with some of their free time. I'm not saying that watching trains wreck isn't fun in a guilty pleasure sort of way, but this is heart warming, and I think that's 1000x better. It's nice when news makes you feel good about people rather than better than them.
