Kelly Rowland On Jealousy

Kelly Rowland shared her experiences with haters in a recent interview. The R&B diva says that women always have to be aware of cattiness and that so much more could be accomplished with sisterhood instead of petty jealousy.

"I think you always experience it as a woman, but you kill it with kindness. I hate it," she says. "It’s just pathetic. As women, we have to realize what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don’t have to compare yourself to anybody else. The world would be boring as hell if everybody looked alike, dressed alike, with the same body type."

Looks like Kelly still has some of that girl power from her Destiny's Child days.

Matthew Knowles' Destiny's Child Clones?

Matthew Knowles is reportedly hoping that lightning can strike twice. Beyonce's daddy is launching a competition to help fill up spots in a new girl group called From Above. Knowles has recruited five girls from the U.K. to join the group--but he's making them go through bootcamp in Houston first.

The five girls, Ashley, Daisy, Seyi, Chelsey and Monique are reportedly moving to Houston to prep the group, but will have to compete with two other girls, Jasmine and Brandy, for the final spots in From Above.

Matthew Knowles, of course, guided the career of superstar girl group Destiny's Child. So he knows how to groom an act, but this?

This sounds...really wack.

9th Wonder Isn't Begging Drake For Work

9th Wonder was recently asked about working with Young Money superstar Drake and the producer had an interesting response. He says he'd love to collaborate with the Toronto rapper, but that he isn't going to beg to work with anyone.

"It's up to Drake man. You know it's, it's - I've never been one, after all the albums I've been on whether it be Jay-Z's, Destiny Child, Mary J Blige, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, Memphis Bleek, Lloyd Banks -- all the records I've done on a major level, I've never slept outside somebody's door with a demo cd. It's always been, '9th, I want you to rock on my record'. So maybe I'm spoiled, maybe whatever, but I am not into sitting down with an A&R and playing an A&R beats. Jay-Z kinda ruined all of that because I dealt with him directly. If I dealt with him directly, I'm not about to play no beats for no A&R's, that's wack."

" I dealt with him directly; I sat with Beyonce for 3 hours and played her beats. Well played all 3 of them [Destiny's Child] beats. It was just me and them. It wasn't me, the A&R dude and them. I've dealt with everybody directly, so I'm past that."

Kelly Rowland Had Skin Color Issues?

Kelly Rowland opened up about her issues with her darker complexion as a youngster. Rowland came to fame as a member of R&B group Destiny's Child when she was still a teen, and she says that she was still wrestling with her skin color issues as an adolescent.

“There’s so much peer pressure growing up, I had an identity crisis. I went to a predominantly white school and I was the only black girl," says Rowland. "I can remember thinking: ‘I don’t want to be as dark as I am – I want to be a little fairer.’ I didn’t want to be me."

She says that Tina Knowles, mother of her superstar DC bandmate Beyonce, helped give her confidence in herself.

"Tina sat me in front of the mirror and said: ‘Girl, look at how pretty you are,'" says Kelly. "She made me feel comfortable in my own skin."

Letoya Luckett Supports Beyonce & Kelly

Letoya Luckett made it clear during a recent performance that she still has love for her former Destiny's Child bandmates Beyonce and Kelly Rowland. While performing at a Gay Pride party in Detroit, Luckett gave the two singers' a shoutout and showed her support.

"[Kelly] is still my ‘motivation,'" Luckett told the crowd. "Each of ya’ll go and get four copies of her album and get Beyonce’s album too. Stop hating on that girl. You know she is one of the most talented girls on the face of this earth. Both them h*es work!"

"Y’all support them, it is no beef, no hate between us," she added. "We are grown heffas, that was ten years ago. Y’all leave that alone and let us work."

Kelly Rowland Didn't Think She Was Pretty

Kelly Rowland recently opened up about her own self-esteem issues and how long it took for her to love herself. The former Destiny's Child singer has had a little plastic surgery in the past, and says that her beauty issues began in childhood.

"It took a long while for me to know that I’m beautiful," Kelly says. "I remember going through this phase when I was younger of wanting to pass by mirrors and not look at them. That was so ridiculous. I’ve learned now that beauty starts from within. If you don’t know your worth, if you don’t know your value, if you don’t know how fantabulous you are — it’s going to be hard for other people to see it. Being appreciative of self, is beauty to me."

Kelly Rowland Talks Dirty

Kelly Rowland opened up during an appearance on The Breakfast Club. The former Destiny's Child star touched on a number of topics, but one in particular caught everyone's attention. Ms. Rowland was asked about her dating preferences and whether or not white guys are more enthusiastic than black guys about performing a certain...'act.'

"You know what? To me, it just depends on the guy," Rowland replies. "If they like that. Of course, it’s better to find a guy that you can motivate to like that. I like me a nice swag of a black guy, I can’t even lie. To me, black guys and Arabic guys their swag is almost the same."

Kelly was also asked if she recommended dating a white guy. Yes, you can. I mean, it’s completely up to you," she said. "I like a black guy just as much as I love a white guy."
