Beyonce Shut Down Kelly Rowland's Album Release Party


When Beyonce showed up to Kelly Rowland's 'Here I Am' album release party she completely stole the show ...



From The NY Daily News
With her husband, Jay-Z, out on the West Coast, Beyoncé showed up at the Standard Hotel hot spot accompanied only by a security detail.

Upon her arrival around 1 a.m., Beyoncé's bodyguards initially seemed to be leading her toward the back of the club where Rowland was celebrating the release of her third solo album, "Here I Am," with the third member of Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams, and British pop star Estelle.

But then the script got flipped.

Although the crowd had thinned considerably by the time Beyoncé arrived, her appearance caused quite a stir among the remaining revelers.

As a result, her handlers seemed to think better of ferrying Beyoncé through the clamoring crowd to the back of the room.

Instead, they installed the diva in one of the club's front banquettes and brought Rowland to her.

The security detail also set about preventing anyone from snapping Sasha Fierce's picture. One bodyguard went so far as to shine his flashlight in the faces of would-be shutterbugs.

When Rowland arrived at her former band-mate's banquette, the two reunited with a very long hug.

Williams soon followed and quicker than you can say "Bootylicious," the Grammy-winning group commenced their Meatpacking District reunion. The trio hung out for nearly an hour and even allowed a few close friends to snap their picture.
