When The Checks Stop Coming In
Kelly Rowland, News, When The Checks Stop Coming In
Posted by Bossip Staff
Here is a nice little ass shot of Kelly Rowland doing a striptease performance at G.A.Y. in London. Too bad for Kelly, we think she got the sex sells memo just a little late. For some reason there is nothing “stimulating” about these pics at all. Well at least she’s trying. Poor Thang.
Former DESTINY’S CHILD star KELLY ROWLAND hopes to transform herself into a dance diva with the help of Scottish DJs MYLO and CALVIN HARRIS.
The singer is desperate to shed her R&B image and is currently visiting London’s top nightclubs in a bid to change her sound. And the 26-year-old is keen to seek help from two of Scotland’s top producers. She says, ‘I’m keen to find out more about Calvin Harris and Mylo. I’ve heard very good things about them. “I’d be totally up for seeing what they could do with my music.

I like her too, but right now she is really looking desperate. I guess she’s following the can’t sing so I’ll get naked trend. Where’s Michelle?

Yup, she is not 25 or whatever they are claim to be. She has gained a lot of weight over the past 2 years or so. She is probably about 30. I remember she was super thin. You start gaining weight in your thrities. She is proof of that.

Hey people, just to make you aware, if you tried posting certain comments that didn’t make it on the board, BOSSIP has probably installed certain software that flags certain objectionable words. So much for the internet being the last bastion of free speech. The P.C. Police has struck again.

This is whack!
Dalia
1/27/08, 19:45:pm
If she doesn’t hurry up and leave Matthew Knowles, she isn’t going to have any kind of a career.
With the things she has been doing lately, it’s almost as if she doesn’t HAVE a manager.
He’s so busy just concentrating on Beyonce (cause she brings in the money), he doesn’t have time for his other clients.

1/27/08, 19:58:pm
She’s too bony to pull it off. If she’s attempting to be sexy she needs to find something a little more flattering for her shape. It looks like she’s trying way to hard. Better luck next time Kelly.

1/27/08, 21:10:pm
LOL@ She will do everything but drop P. DADDY KNOWLES ain’t that the truth….And you people are absolutely clueless abuout the industry and how much artist actually take home especially the ones without writing credits…..all those expenses, photo shoots, publicist, MANAGER (Knowles), stylist (Knowles) get paid FIRST and the royalty for the singer is basically nonexistent…most of the money for nonwriting artists is touring and that she had to split…and we know it wasn’t an equal split…and again, production costs, dancers, transportation, all that is paid first…the labels and manageemtn will never lose..the singers will…Kelly is FAR from set for life…neither is Beyonce thus all the endorsements to offset those overheads…Now Beyonce has paper that’s without a doubt…but not to the extent that you people think …and Kelly, I pray the Knowles are not her financial advisors as well…POOR THANG..
GET A CLUE and GET AWAY FROM THE KNOWLES CLAN…they are bad news…Ms. Christian and like they said now they are booking you out at gay clubs looking like a hooker…what about the Grammy’s they have Solange all up in there and she doesn’t even have an album out and they didnt EVEN MENTION you in the press release…if that wasn’t a slap in the face I don’t know what is….When she is 35 and broke, or damn near, maybe then she will get a clue and it will be far to late…the Knowles will merely pay her a couple hundred thousand to sing back up for BEY and also yall…don’t forget about TAXES…..

1/27/08, 21:19:pm
Yeah, she’s not hurtin’ for dough. She’s still getting checks I’m sure. Nothing wrong with getting your sexy on but this ain’t the way for her. Can’t be a follower all your life, take control sometimes. She needs to find a way to stand out in the industry and this ain’t it. She should change her music style and overall look. Or just find another careeer altogether.
Darkesthourgl*****
1/27/08, 21:26:pm
B if all that you said is true then she needs to switch careers quick or work with different people. It worked for Mark Walhberg, you know he is paid Funky Bunch or not.

But set a side there she’s very talented and guess what Alicia sold less then her so Po Thang for Alicia… Leave Kelly alone

Damn, what happened to her body??? When I first pulled up bossip & saw that *****ed up shape, flat ***** and big wig, I thought that was Lil Kim. I don’t have a problem with strip tease but if your body ain’t right stay off the pole. My prediction for the future is she will end up suing Mathew for mis managing funds.

and she didn’t make a whole lot of loot from DC since their income was split Bey(50%) kelly(30%) and Michelle(20%). Which was fair since Beyonce was the lead singer of DC.

That outfit does nothing for her. Not hatin on her, but without DC she seems lost. Kelly needs to get some direction in her career. She has 0 personality. Beyonce is a diva, AKeyes is a hip soulful singer/musician, Rhianna is sexy & spunky. But what persona is Kelly? She might be talented, but she comes across as boring. I don’t think Kelly’s solo material.

kelly needs to get different management. cuz the knowles are mainly focused on beyonce. or she should just stay over seas for a while cuz their market isnt as cut throat as america’s.
nique
1/28/08, 11:00:am
@Keely,
What makes you think Kelly has “millions”? With mama and papa Knowles running thangs and Beyonce getting all of the song writing credit, Kelly was a paid employee. No doubt she made a good chunk of change but based on the amount of common sense she seems to have (not much), I’m thinking her investment skills are probably suspect, thus she may be doing alright at the moment, but she’s not going to be able to live of off the DC money forever.
nique
1/28/08, 11:02:am
DM, I am so with you on that. Matthew Knowles is the ultimate hater if you aren’t his child. Scratch that. If you aren’t Beyonce (’cause Solange’s career is non existent). If Kelly got new management, she could probably do very well.
nique
1/28/08, 11:12:am
And another thing, all of y’all talking about she’s set for life need to go back to VH1’s Behind The Music and listen to the late Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes explain how to you how a group can sell millions of albums and still be po’! VH1 needs to do a behind the music with Destiny’s Child for real (make sure Beyonce’s not there so that we can get the real scoop).

She is a huge star over seas. Because they don’t mind a beautiful dark skin woman doing her things unlike the states. Do your homework because the checks aint hardly stop coming in.
This girl is doing her thing. And when we stop putting all of these less talented lighter than paper bag girls out front all the time we will see that she is truly a talented individual.

I love all the memebers of the group(destiny’s child), but i feel bad for Kelly. Beyonce and Michelle are clearly comfortable in their own skin and talents,but it seems Kelly can’t figure out what she wants to do. I always hoped she would get big(big as in celeb status), maybe she will, maybe she wont.
