Kelly Rowland World {www.kelly-rowland.net}

I found an audio interview of Kelly with french radio “FG”. Unfortunately, they dubbed Kelly’s voice on it, so you barely hear her. You can still listen to it here.

To sum it up, Kelly says in the interview that she felt like the production of the song (”No future in the past”) was something new and that’s what she liked about it. She really got on well with Nadiya and she was excited about shooting the video in France (yes, apparently plans changed and they didn’t shoot the video in Miami as we first heard).
She also said the video is very futuristic, and that they were like flying in the air. She couldn’t wait to see the video.

Kelly spent some time in London with really strange creatures…. as she attended the opening of the « Ripley’s Believe It or Not » Museum last night. Check out photos here.

Japanese denim giant brand Evisu certainly went all out to launch their exclusive new range of Swiss Made Time pieces entitled Evisuswiss. It was indeed an elaborate event which oozed glitz and glamour and the attendees included A list celebrities such as Kelly Rowland who is the brand’s watch ambassador, Lupe Fiasco and Adam Deacon, all of whom were eager to view the stunning collection.

The name Evisuswiss represents the fact that the watches are beautifully crafted by experts in Switzerland and the range comes in a variety of sizes and shapes inspired by diver watches and vintage military style. The watches all maintain a delicate look each with intricate detailing and certainly convey a sense of decadence. Even the larger styles remain subtle and are most importantly, extremely wearable.

The exquisite launch party was a huge success and Evisu creatively and alluringly maintained their Japanese theme. Guests enjoyed beautiful hand-rolled sushi and stunning Japanese window decoration in addition to being entertained by gold painted models with samurai swords in tow. The models were instructed not to talk however which heightened the air of mystery surrounding the new range of watches.

The Evisuswiss timepieces are priced from £200-£800 and are sure to be a definite favourite this season among the style conscious.

Michael Jackson is obsessed with the Destiny’s Child song ‘Bootylicious’, according to former member Kelly Rowland.

Rowland said the R&B trio, who are currently on hiatus, first discovered Jackson was a fan when he sung their lyrics to them.

“He came up to us singing the lyrics to our song ‘Bootylicious’,” she explained. “We just stood there like dumbstruck fans, with our mouths open in shock.”

You may have noticed a new name on KELLY ROWLAND WORLD in the last few days. My name is Stefan and i am the new co-admin!
I’m really excited to help Celine, because i’ve been a fan of Destiny’s Child and our Ms. Kelly Rowland a long time and I have some unseen media to share with you guys. So keep on checking!
I have experience with building fan sites: I’m also running the fan site “Melanie C Base” (since 2005) and the German site “Support Ms. Kelly“.

So that’s all about me! Hello everyone! Nice to meet you!

A couple of months ago Kelly performed at the Hilfiger Sessions in Berlin, Germany along with international star Wyclef Jean and German singer Joy Denalane.
You can now watch Kelly’s performances from this event on the new relaunched website Tommy TV. Go to the site, choose your language, click “Sessions” and choose “Berlin” to see performances of “Work”, “Dilemma”, “Bootylicious” and “Like This”. However “Emotion”, a duet with Joy Denalane is missing on this site.
If you are registered at Tommy TV you can also see exclusive interviews with Kelly’s background singers, her musical director Jo and one with Kelly and Wyclef Jean together as well.

DESTINY’S CHILD might be on the verge of reforming, but KELLY ROWLAND needs to make sure she pencils some time into her diary to work with ALPHABEAT.

Kelly has previously said she loves the Danish band and wants to collaborate with them.

Now Alphabeat’s lead singer STINE BRAMSEN has told The Sun that the band want to work with her too: “That’s a great thing. I think it would be a good mix.”

“I mean we’ve only heard it in an interview like you guys have. We haven’t heard from her yet.”

“But we’d definitely be up for it – it’d be worth a shot. It would depend on what song, but it would be a good match I think.

“Destiny’s Child have done some great songs. I think BEYONCE is one of the best singers, and one of the world’s most beautiful women.”

KELLY ROWLAND has helped a young Aussie fashion designer realise her dreams - by wearing one of her designs for a concert performance.
The former Destiny’s Child star offered to model for Juli Grbac, a contestant on Australia’s Project Runway reality show, and the budding designer didn’t have to wait long for the singer to honour her promise.
Grbac won the chance to create an outfit for Rowland, and the R+B star wore it for a show in Cannes, France, at the weekend (17Aug08).
Grbac tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper, “She was so lovely and the fact that she has worn my design makes me so proud.”
