Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have fuelled speculation their Destiny's Child bandmate Beyonce Knowles will marry her longtime beau Jay-z in New York this weekend (4-6Apri08), after revealing they both flew into the city earlier this week (begs31Mar08).
The Crazy In Love superstar and rap mogul Shawn 'Jay-z' Carter successfully applied for a wedding licence in Scarsdale, New York on Tuesday, prompting rumours they will exchange nuptials on Friday.
On Thursday, New York news organisations reported Knowles is currently in the Big Apple, together with Williams and her mother Tina.
A number of gossip websites also claimed Jay-z had cleared his busy schedule for the day, after holding an alleged bachelor party in Toronto, Canada, where he has been touring with Mary J. Blige.
And now Rowland and Williams have posted a new video message to fans on YouTube.com.
In the footage, the pair can be seen fooling around when Rowland says, "We're out of town... in a hotel room."
Williams coyly adds, "In an undisclosed location...", before Rowland admits they are "in the Four Seasons in New York".
The Dilemma star goes on to detail her hectic work schedule, but remains quiet about the real purpose of their stay in the city: "I just got back from London... going to Denver this weekend to go see some friends..."
And she explains the absence of Knowles simply by saying, "B's in the studio tonight..."
Representatives for both Knowles and Carter are still refusing to comment on the marriage reports.

Mary J. Blige has slammed reports linking her to a steroid investigation in the U.S., insisting she has never taken the performance-enhancing drug. The Grammy award-winning star, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and actor Tyler Perry have all been accused of ordering steroids or human growth hormone from doctors and pharmacists.
