Mathew Knowles recently sat down for an interview with The Huffington Post, and Beyonce's dad revealed that Destiny's Child will be releasing not one, but two new albums in the near future!
"[I]n November we’re putting out two Destiny’s Child catalog records with new material," Mathew said. "It’s all released material with some previously unreleased material."
While he added that there will NOT be a reunion tour to complement the first release, he said he hoped that there would be one in the next five years. "I think it would be incredible," he added. "The hardest thing would be choosing which songs they’re going to do, because we would want to mix it up with solo hits and Destiny’s Child hits. We would have to throw away some number ones from off the set list."
When asked if he had any advice for parents who are trying to break their children into the entertainment industry, Mathew replied, "Well first, you have to start young to really be the best at anything. But the one piece of advice that I have for any parent is to make sure that it’s your child’s dream and not yours."
Matthew served as Beyonce's manager from the start of her career through 2011, and he also used to manage fellow Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, but they parted ways with him, in 2009 and 2010, respectively. It was rumored that family drama caused them to sever their professional ties, but both insisted that it was strictly business at the time the announcement was made.
But seeing as Beyonce's dad no longer manages Destiny's Child, why is dishing the deets on their projects?

Usher's stepson Kyle Glover has been pronounced brain dead by doctors after being the victim of a jet ski accident in Atlanta on Friday.
Glover, the 11-year-old son of Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster, has not experienced any brain activity in the past two days since being admitted to the hospital. He was reportedly struck in the head by a passing jet ski while inner tubing on Lake Lanier in Atlanta.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, officials have ruled out alcohol as a factor and have recognized that the man on the jet ski and Glover were part of the same group. The cause of the incident is still under investigation.
Usher and Foster were married in 2007 and had two children together, Usher Raymond V, 4, and Naviyd, 3, before getting divorced in 2009.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher went for a motorcycle ride in Hollywood over the weekend, and even though the couple have been trying to downplay their relationship over the past few months, they've been spending an awful lot of time together!
After their lovefest on the Fourth of July, it's hard to believe that they're just uh, friends with benefits, but when Kunis was recently asked about their romance, she told Glamour mag, "Ninety-nine percent of it is bullsh*t."
Say what?! Maybe she's worried that Ashton's ex-wife Demi Moore is going to come hunt her down? Why are these two pulling such a Robsten here?
Brad Pitt's mother Jane made headlines last week after penning a controversial anti-gay, anti-abortion letter to a local Missouri newspaper urging people to vote for Mitt Romney, and now the actor's brother Doug Pitt is doing damage control!
"Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama - a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage," she wrote of the current President.
The married businessman appeared on the Today show to chat about spoofing his famous sibling in a new overseas Virgin Mobile commerical, but he quickly found himself defending his mother's statements.
"You know, I think moms and dads agree to disagree all over the world. So why would our family be any different? There can be healthy discussion when people agree with you. The bad thing is when it turns to venom and negativity, and we don't have that in our family. It's an open discussion. We can learn from each other, and if anything, it solidifies your point. Or maybe you learn something," he explained.
Brad Pitt is a liberal and an outspoken supporter of Obama, and his partner Angelina Jolie has been vocal about her bisexuality, so we wonder what they think of Mamma Pitt's strong views?

Work it woman!
Lindsay Lohan dined at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica last night, and the 26-year-old starlet was in a flirty and fun mood when she left the restaurant, which happens to be one of Rihanna's fav eateries as well. After wrapping Liz & Dick earlier this month and beginning pre-production on The Canyons, Lilo's certainly got plenty to smile about!
Lindsay dyed her hair back to red last Tuesday, and as much as we loved her brunette locks, we're so glad she's rocking the fiery tresses yet again!
And not only that, but earlier in the day Lilo got her black Porsche Panamera back, and it looks as good as new:

Parenthood won't be the only change for these two, their vampire show's losing its head honcho, creator Alan Ball, who's retiring from the show to work on other projects. Co-executive producer Mark Hudis, who's worked on the show for the past two seasons, will take over the reigns next season.
