August 18, 2008: "Solange Knowles Claims People Think She Is Always Stoned"
The singer says her energy levels and sporadic speech patterns make people think she is on drugs. She said: "People think I'm high even when I'm sober." Solange also said she sometimes tells people silly lies to try to make them laugh. She added: "I tell lies. Not proper lies, just little lies. I started telling them - jokes I should call them - when I was very young. "I've always had a sense of humour but people haven't always shared it." Solange recently revealed she has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), but refused to accept what she was told by her first doctor so went for a second opinion. She said: "I was diagnosed with ADD twice. I didn't believe the first doctor who told me and I had a whole theory that ADD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine but then the second doctor told me I had it. "I guess I was in denial. I don't understand exactly what it is. The symptoms seem to apply to everyone around me in the industry - loss of memory, starting something and not finishing it." *** August 12, 2008: "Solange Knowles Might Go Crazy Like Britney Spears If People Keep Comparing Her To Sister Beyonce" Solange Knowles says she will "go crazy like Britney" if people keep comparing her to her sister. The 22-year-old younger sibling of R'n'B superstar Beyonce Knowles says she has to joke about comparisons to her sister or it will lead to problems. She said: "I get asked about Beyonce all the time but I try and make fun of it." "Sometimes I say she's not my sister. Other times I say I've stuffed her in my suitcase and sent it to Dubai." "I have to have fun with it or I'll turn into Britney - shave my head and go totally crazy." Solange also revealed Americans think she is "nutty" because of her forthright attitude. She added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I get a lot of wrinkled noses because of how outspoken I am." "Probably not in the U.K. because women here tend to be pretty frank and have a dry sense of humor but back home they're scared of me for some reason and think I'm a little nutty." *** April 18, 2008: "Solange Knowles Gives Jamie Lynn Spears Motherhood Advice" Solange Knowles has offered Jamie Lynn Spears words of support - insisting she has to ignore negative comments and concentrate on becoming a good mother. Knowles states she knows the challenge of being a famous young mum after she gave birth to her son Daniel in 2004 at the age of 18-years-old. And she tells Britney Spears' pregnant younger sibling to be strong, urging her to focus on her unborn tot and not the criticism she faces for having a child so young. She tells U.S. website People.com, "I'm sure a lot of people perceived that I was gonna be a young, irresponsible mom. I think that there are some moms who are 35 who are just as irresponsible." "You just have to make the best decisions for you. You have to decide what's best for you. Who are we to say what's right and wrong for a person?" *** Actress, R&B singer, songwriter, producer, model, and sister of Beyonce Knowles, Solange Knowles picture(s)/pic(s) and photo gallery, albums and singles covers pictures.
