SOHH SOULFUL

Beyonce appeared on MTV's "TRL" yesterday with both her new videos, for "Single Ladies" and "If I Were A Boy." The singer also opened up about her upcoming album I Am... revealing that the set will be a double disc collection.

Here's what she had to say on TRL:

On younger sister Solange Knowles: "On my album, she co-wrote two of the songs. She's grown so much. I watch her and I'm so proud of her. She's always going to be my baby."

On Solange's son Daniel Julez Smith, Jr. : "My nephew's 4th birthday is in a couple of days (October 18) in Houston, so I'm going to go out and see them... Oh, I spoil him. I get him whatever he wants!"

Why there are no collaborations on this album: "I just wanted people to get to know me and the two extremes of my personality. Once the album comes out, you'll completely understand. You can kind of see with the videos. One is my alter ego (Sasha) and the other one is really intimate and emotional. The album is kind of split into two, it's a double album."

Beyonce also announced that she'll be performing on the show's last episode, Total Finale Live, on November 16 @ 8PM ET/PT.

You guys are in for a very special treat. For the next few weeks while Eric Benet is on tour he has promised to check in with us by video.  Today's video features a special behind the scenes look at Eric preparing to do a radio interview.  I gotta say these videos give a brand new perspective on Eric, watching him and his boys joking around.
