Weekend Where are they NOW???

So what has (Tenitra) Michelle (Mi Chelle My Belle) Williams (26) been up to. Aside from retiring from the all girl group Destny's Child...Michelle is Dating Gary Baxter (27) of the Cleveland Browns (DB)...currently sidelined for straining his pectoral muscle (breast plate). Michelle is currently in the studio recording an R&B album (this will be her third solo album). Michelle was born July 23, 1980, in Rockford Illinois. Michelle briefly attended Illinois State University. At 17, she had a friend that played the keyboard for R&B recording artist Monica, Tenitra asked her friend to tell Monica hello. Weeks later, Tenitra received a telephone call telling her there were openings for a background singer, Michelle boarded a flight to Atlanta, GA for the auditions and became Monica's background dancer. 3 years later, she received a call for her spot with Destiny's Child. The rest is history. Her first album with the group Destiny's Child was"Survivor"(2000). Tenitra has a solo inspirational/gospel CD that was released in 2002 entitled "Heart to Yours" (#1 on the gospel charts), and her second album "Do you Know(2003)", produced by Tommy Sims (CeCe Winans, Eric Clapton, Kelly Clarkson), Anson & Eric Dawkins (Tyrese, Ruben Studdard), Erron Williams (her brother)), Cedric & Victor Caldwell, PAJAM (Paul Allen & J.
