Kelly Rowland: “I Want to be the Black Angelina Jolie”

Kelly Rowland’s looking to adopt a bunch of children soon. That what happens when your biological clock is ringing and there isn’t a man around to hold it down. Flip the script for more

Former DESTINY’S CHILD star KELLY ROWLAND is planning to follow in the footsteps of stars like MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE – by adopting a child.

The singer insists she is ready to become a mum and wants to take in a youngster from her native U.S. after working with a charity program for disadvantaged children.

And Rowland is adamant she doesn’t want to adopt a baby – because there are so many older kids in need of good homes.

She says, “I’ve always known I would adopt in a heartbeat but I don’t want a baby – I want to get a child that’s five, six, or even 10.

“I was doing Home for Holidays, which is a charitable holiday program for kids in the States, and some of the statistics means (sic) that older children don’t get adopted as much. I’d love to make a child feel that they’re worth it – because every child is worth it.

“I don’t want that many children – but I want a family of five, including adopted children. That’s still a lot, but I think it would be worth it.”

Sounds like she’s planning on moving ahead with or without a man. She might want to fall back, Kelly isn’t bankrolling Angelina’s money.

Is it just be or does her head look way big in this pic? Why the hell Bossip be *****ing up ppl’s pics?

Black Angelina Jolie….I guess she is about to steal someone’s husband, adopt a bunch of kids, pop out a few herself and then try to go to country acting as a humanitarian so that ppl forget that you’re a homewrecker…I hope that’s not what you want Kelly.

Sidenote- helping is one thing, but don’t steal anyone’s man!

Angelina Jolie is a *****ed up individual. she has, on many oc*****ions, tongue kissed her blood brother- come on. this is what you want to emulate? an incestuous w***** who only adopts kids to ***** numbers to their sick cult, give me a damn break

these black celebs are an atrocity. they push the “what you got aint good enough” agenda. it is rare that you see a black woman in hollycult wearing their own hair, lashes, noses, breats. it is so sad and the fact that it’s glamorized makes it grotesque!

Come on now. If Kelly can’t get a man, we might as well give it up…

6/19/09, 09:20:am

Kelly was my favorite in that group but before doing something that *****ed up get your own self together financially before you bring children into your family. You may find that there is not that much royality money awaiting you as you think.

Not with that weave, girl, you’ll be little more than Foxy Brown. Step your game up, you’ve been the flyest member of DC for a while, what’s going on?

Now, as far as the DC debacle is concerned, learn your lesson and try to recapture those fans who walked away after asking YOU to do the same for years. You supported that family who clearly had no concern for you and now you want sympathy?

Call Letoya Luckett – oh, wait, you were right there blasting them with the rest of the Knowles crew and now they’ve shown you that they don’t give a dam about you either. Ironic that Letoya and Solange have more clout, isn’t it?

*****ody cares

6/19/09, 09:33:am

that hair just looks completely fake. ciara’s wig has been looking horrible too. all these ladies need to cool it down with the drag weaves, there was a point when they were looking well done, now these broads are just plopping any 15-inches or better mess on their heads…

Why would Kelly want to be like Angelina when she is adopted her self ,nice gesture congratulations to her

Soul Touch

6/19/09, 09:42:am

Josephine Baker, Kelly. Check out your BLACK history…you would not be the first.

That being said, I believe that all black people need to lend a hand when it comes to adoption. Give a child a home. I’ve always wanted to adopt and plan to.

Oh, and Kelly, that hair is atrocious.

“That what happens when your biological clock is ringing and there isn’t a man around to hold it down” really? thats the most ignorant ***** i’ve heard before hows this for you “The harmonious household is largly a myth”

Why do you refer to yourself as the “black Angelina Jolie?” Just because Angelina goes around buying children doesn’t make her a role model. She could make a difference in many ways for many people with the money she pays for children. Being like Angelina Jolie is NOT complimentary.

Listen UP

6/19/09, 09:51:am

Kelly, the thought is heart-felt but think about this. First get a man. Every child deserve the benefit of a two parent home. Even though you may feel like you are financially able to raise a child. Money doesn’t raise the child.
Secondly, you need to grown UP–make sure you are mature enough to handle raising a child.

This site is so *****ing racist. Soul Touch, was it necessary to point out a black woman who adopted kids? Angelina can be her role model if she wants. She’s done a lot of good in this world with her money.

missunderstood

6/19/09, 10:26:am

Why couldn’t she be like Josephine Baker?? Why she had to be ‘the black Angelina Jolie’? SMH…

Soul Touch

6/19/09, 10:33:am

@hot*****

Nothing wrong with Angelina being her idol, BUT… If she wanted to be a humanitarian like Angelina, then the statement would ring true, but many many many times people are so trapped in today’s media that they forget the past. Angelina Jolie did not pave the way when it comes to adopting a number of multi-racial children, Josephine Baker did but her legacy and work to show the ALL PEOPLE OF COLOUR CAN LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY is so easily forgotten. Josephine Baker worked hard to erase the lines of racism and create a multi racial and culture society. Now if that is not the opposite of racist, I don’t know what it is.

Just pointing that out. Don’t be so sensitive. I love Angelina.

And why should I be ashamed of pointing out what a black woman has done, not only for black people, but for the betterment of people as a whole. NEVER.

Thank you.

While I wouldn’t have made the comment regarding being “The Black Angelina Jolie”, I am happy to see someone of color in the spotlight doing this and getting press.

As far as people giving her grief about her “bankroll” not being like Angelina Jolie’s, this is true HOWEVER there are plenty of middle cl***** families out there who adopt a child and they don’t have Kelly’s “bankroll.” Being filthy rich does not automatically mean a good home for a child. I’m sure this is a novel concept for some of you. From my understanding, she does well overseas, in England particularly…so she’s getting paid.

If she’s not planning to go and adopt a tribe of children all at once, this should work out just fine and I applaud her for wanting an older child. There are a lot of older children out there who need a home and don’t have it. She’s reaching out with a last minute life line so to speak to those who need it. God Bless her.

**Upon reading the article again, because I wanted to be sure..no where in the story does Kelly actually say she wants to be the Black Angelina Jolie. That’s just BOSSIP’s headline. So stop crucifying Kelly, kthx.

Bossip has a way of creating there own ‘quotes’…who the heck runs their site? They obviously don’t know anything about reporting. Guess they’ll learn when they get sued.

Like I said before, when a black woman achieves financial status, they see no need to have a black man in their life. The only exception being is when the black man is more successful than her, she may then consider him as a prospect.

Soul Touch

6/19/09, 12:34:pm

@Rrrrroe

So…if the non-black man is less successful, he’s still a better prospect?

wash ya *****

this biich just want something to say. didnt the govt take her house? where the kids gonna stay…. does she have that looong money like Beyonce? i bet you she aint gonna do it… just talking *****…..

@Soul Touch Black women are their own worst enemy. We don’t want to naturally gravatate to women of other cultures, but black women have shown their true colors. We now understand what we’re getting into before we make the plunge. We also understand that if we decide to take the plunge, the water will be much colder, if we take it with a black woman. 75% (estimate) of of successful black woman don’t have a man of lesser status. Or either they don’t have a man at all, because he’s not good enough for them.

at what point did the words come out from her mouth
“I want to be the black Angelina Jolie”??bossip’s just making up ***** as usual and wants to put black people down with the whole “Kelly isn’t bankrolling Angelina’s money.”bossip claims that black people tear eachother down,but it’s really bossip and some of it’s ignorant commentors on here trying to tear their own down.you people are just a bunch of ignorant hypocrites.i applaud kelly for wanting to adopt kids and make them feel that whatever age they are,all kids are equal.and she can still do all that WITHOUT a man.so bossip and its haters need to fall back.let kelly do kelly.

Dear Kelly,

I used to think you were the tightest chocolate drop from the Group Beyonce and her back up singers a.k.a. Destiny’s Child. Now I see that you have parted ways with the knowles clan that they have made you return all of their expensive wigs imported from Korea, and left you with this synthetic hair that smells like hay. They must’ve also had your return all of your Haute Coulture clothing and left you to your own vices. I emplore you PLEASE get it together and be the beautiful sister we know you can be. You have new management now, take time away from the cameras (until you can get your hair and gear game right) and take some acting lessons (cause let’s face it, you’ll never be a star as a solo artist). Use some of those duckets you have left to ensure your future through acting. I wish you luck!

A concerned…(Hell what am I? I can’t say concerned fan because I’m not a fan. I’m not a hater either… Hell let’s just leave it at concerned… Yeah that’s it.)

so what, who cares?

6/20/09, 11:39:am

Bossip, Madonna and Angelina are not the only celebrities adopting, so your comparison of Kelly to these two is just placing them on some high pedestal for adopting some kids, something which a lot of people, celebrities or not, are doing anwyays.

Ms_Nelson

6/20/09, 13:51:pm

I can’t believe people. Kelly is trying to provide a loving home for an unfortunate child and all you people are concerned with is her hair. That makes absolutely no sense. Also what the hell does Angelina Jolie have to do with Kelly? There are plenty of families out there that are providing homes for children as well and they do not get any praise. These families as well do not have Angelina Jolie money but they are still opening up their home for others.

JEFFREY

6/20/09, 14:44:pm

Ok wow…. Kelly NEEDS to be following in the footsteps of Angelina and trying to ACT. She is still young, and needs to be paperchasin’! WTH, she has plenty of time to adopt.

tgreen

6/21/09, 10:19:am

Wow you people do have your priorities mixed up you are concerned about her lace front and here this lady is wanting to give a under priviledged kid that may have been abandoned by your cousin, brother or sister a home at least she wants to start at home in the U.S. with adoption unlike these other so called celebrities she realizes that charity starts at home, there are many kids that wont ever experience what a family is like because people consider them too old to adopt at least she is making a effort.

kelly dont seem like she even like men. and kids growing up without 2 parents in a home could spell trouble. kids need the upbringing of a mother and a father.
