R+B queen Beyonce Knowles struggled with depression for two years when her former group DESTINY’S CHILD went through a series of line-up changes - because everyone blamed her for the band’s troubles.

Destiny’s Child’s original line-up consisted of Knowles, best pal Kelly Rowland, and childhood friends LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson.

But it was all change in late 1999 when Luckett and Roberson accused manager Mathew Knowles, father of Beyonce, of failing to pay them an equal share of profits and alleged he gave preferential treatment to his daughter and Rowland.

Singers Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin were hired to replace the disgruntled members and the new group went on to shoot the video to hit single Say My Name.

However, it was only when Luckett and Roberson saw the promo that they reportedly realised they’d been kicked out of the band.

They subsequently filed suit against Beyonce, Rowland and their manager, claiming breach of partnership and fiduciary duties.

They settled out of court, but the Bills, Bills, Bills hitmakers soon became a trio - when Franklin quit just five months into the job.

Many critics held Beyonce responsible for the disputes within Destiny’s Child and she was targeted on blogs and in the press.

And the Crazy In Love star admits those were the darkest days of her career.

She says, “For a couple of years when I was 19 I suffered depression.”

Blake Fielder-Civil admits he introduced his wife, Amy Winehouse, to drugs in a new interview.

“I dragged Amy into it, and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road,” Fielder-Civil told the U.K.’s News of the World. “I ruined something beautiful.”

He said he would end their marriage to stop her from killing herself.

“Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love,” he said. “I have had to live with that for the past year that I have been in prison and I have got so much remorse.”

In the interview, Fielder-Civil, 26, admitted to introducing Winehouse, 25, to crack cocaine and self-injury. He said that Winehouse only smoked marijuana before he gave her hard drugs. He also described watching Winehouse have a seizure after an all-day binge.

“It was heartbreaking seeing someone you love more than yourself, someone you would die for, someone you would kill for, on the floor shaking,” he said.

Fielder-Civil admitted that “it’s my fault” and said he’d been in tears and speaking to counselors about how he and Winehouse can’t be together.

“If it wasn’t for drugs, me and Amy would be so happy. Just without that in our lives — without crack and without heroin — Amy would be making beautiful music,” he said.

He reached out to Winehouse through News of the World: “I’m sorry that love isn’t enough… I’m sorry that we can’t be normal together.”

The couple wed in May 2007 in Miami Beach. They were both arrested for marijuana possession in October of that year. Fielder-Civil was then sent to jail after being charged with conspiracy involving alleged witness tampering. He was released Nov. 5.

ER star Parminder Nagra and her photographer beau, James Stenson, are expecting their first child this summer, the actress confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively. “We are thrilled and overjoyed at the prospect of becoming first time parents,” Nagra tells Us. The couple will tie the knot as well. “Yes, our plans are to get married but there’s no confirmed date yet,” Nagra says. ” We have been together for nearly 7 years.”

Nagra, who was born in England, will continue to live in L.A. with Stenson. “The plan is to stay in L.A. We still have a home in London, so eventually the plan is to be bi-costal, but who knows what the future holds. We are just taking it one day at a time.”

Don’t expect to see Nagra - who plays Dr. Neela Rasgotra - sporting a baby bump on the show. “There are no plans to write the pregnancy in the show,” she tells Us. Nagra also says she doesn’t plan on taking any time off work. “I feel like I will want to work, but who knows what I’ll feel like when the baby arrives,” she tells Us.

The last episode of the emergency room drama is scheduled to air in February 2009.

Police responded to a trespassing call a few weeks ago on the property of ‘Spider-Man’ actress Kirsten Dunst.

Sources tell ET that it is not the first time the trespasser has showed up at Dunst’s canyon home in the Hollywood Hills.

Dunst, who is a neighbor of “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest, was not at home when the trespasser was on her property, said the sources, who added that security had also been stepped up at the home of Dunst’s mother.

The actress’ mother lives in the Toluca Lake area north of Hollywood in the same neighborhood as Jennifer Love Hewitt and Hilary Duff.

Liz Lemon favors her right side. That’s because a faint scar runs across Tina Fey’s left cheek, the result of a violent cutting attack by a stranger when Fey was five. Her husband says, “It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen.”

You can hardly see the scar in person. But I agree with Richmond that it makes Fey more lovely, like a hint of Marlene Dietrich noir glamour in a Preston Sturges heroine.

“That scar was fascinating to me,” Richmond recalls. “This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life. When you have that kind of thing happen to you, that makes you scared of certain things, that makes you frightened of different things, your comedy comes out in a different kind of way, and it also makes you feel for people.”

I wonder how the scar affected Fey in high school. “She wasn’t Rocky Dennis developing a sense of humor because of her looks, like in Mask,” says Damian Holbrook, laughing. Liz Lemon’s blustery Republican boss, Jack Donaghy, played with comic genius by Alec Baldwin, tells Lemon, “I don’t know what happened in your life that caused you to develop a sense of humor as a coping mechanism. Maybe it was some sort of brace or corrective boot you wore during childhood, but in any case I’m glad you’re on my team.”
