The group says there is a difference (between dressing sexy and dressing nasty. "A classy girl can wear something classy [and still be sexy," singer Beyonce Knowles told The Associated Press on Tuesday night, [dressed in a short miniskirt. "It doesn't mean you can't wear your j stomach out or wear a short skirt. That does- j n't mean your nasty, because you dress sexy. It's how you carry yourself," she added. Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle | Williams were dressed casually as they celebrated the release of their book, Soul Survivors: The Official Autobiography of Destiny's Child, at a party in midtown Manhattan. In the book, they discuss some of the turmoil that has engulfed the group — three former members left under PEOPLE IN THE NEWS acrimonious terms — and about their childhood. "We got a chance to put all the rumors to rest. I think it gives people the chance to know Destiny's Child on a personal level," Williams said. "Like us growing up — how some of us dealt with bullies, and self esteem. I know for me, I had no father fig ure ... it's a lot of things people will know and learn about."

Co-producer Lloyd Phillips said Wednesday that about five weeks of shooting in Thailand will wrap up main filming on the movie, which began pro duction in December. Previous shooting was done in Namibia, standing in for Ethiopia, and Montreal, standing in for London and Chechnya.
