Kelly Rowland & T-Pain Go Down Under

R&B star Kelly Rowland and the Auto-Tuned voice of R&B T-Pain seem to have gotten pretty close while hanging out in Australia. The two were Down Under for Supafest 2012 and got to hang out together during some down time.

Posting pics of themselves at the zoo, the buddies got to goof off while enjoying a break from the concerts--which also have featured Ice Cube, Big Sean and Chris Brown.

They've also been reportedly working on music for Kelly’s fourth studio album.

Kelly Rowland On Guest Artists:

Kelly Rowland made an appearance on "Chelsea Lately" and told host Chelsea Handler that she enjoyed collaborating with rapper Lil Wayne on her track "Motivation." She also admitted that most artists can be difficult because of outlandish demands for guest appearances.

"I saw him at a [Miami] Heat game and I told him I had a song. I went to the studio, played him the song and he got on it. Sometimes, I don’t know if you guys know, but artists will be a little bit difficult when it comes to getting on songs. You go through that Hollywood stuff," Rowland said. "I don’t like that and he just did it.

"They’ll demand a whole bunch of stuff," Rowland continued. "They’ll want half of the writers’ credit and you’re like ‘I ain’t giving you my writers’ credit or anything else.” So you just want to tell them to chill and get on the song. If it’s a great song be apart of it."

Kelly Rowland Fawns Over Blue Ivy

Just after Solange promised to spoil Beyonce's brand new baby girl, Bey's BFF Kelly Rowland couldn't contain her joy at the little girl that has seemingly become the most famous infant in the world. Kelly talked to E! about the baby and Beyonce and Jay as new parents.

"She is just more precious than a diamond. She ’s just so stunning," she said. "I'm so happy for my sister and her husband. She ’s beautiful."

"She’s an incredible mother. I' m so incredibly proud of her, so proud of her," Rowland also said. "She’s in Mommyville and I'm so happy for her and her husband's in Daddyville, and the baby is very beautiful."

Kelly Rowland Serenades Dwyane Wade

Miami Heat superstar guard Dwyane Wade turned 30 this weekend and his girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union, had R&B singer Kelly Rowland serenade her boo thang during a birthday ceremony that included T.I., Common, Usher and Rick Ross.

"Thank you everybody for coming to my honey’s 30th! Thank God he’s 30," Union said to the crowd. "I was almost starting to sound like a pervert but because my honey is all about the love of chocolate there’s no badder b*tch on the planet who represents the chocolate better than Miss Kelly Rowland. If you needed a little motivation to get your ass back in the gym in 2012 Kelly Rowland and her tight ass abs are here for a little treat."

Lebron James was also on -hand to celebrate his teammates birthday as Ms. Kelly sang a song for the star and his star-studded cadre of friends.

Michelle Williams Gushes Over Blue Ivy

Since Beyonce's had her daughter, all of her associates have chimed in about the super-baby; from her longtime BFF Kelly Rowland to her sister Solange to Gwyneth Paltrow. But no one heard much from the third member of Destiny's Child.

Michelle Williams finally gave her two cents briefly at a major event this week.

“She is absolutely gorgeous. We were all in love,” Williams, 31, told USA Today at Saturday’s BET Honors in Washington, D.C.

Quotes from Kelly Rowland popped up immediately after Blue Ivy Carter was born. It seems like the world forgot to even acknowledge Williams was a close friend of Beyonce's, too. SMH.

Kelly Rowland Disses Matthew Knowles?

In a new interview with JET magazine, Kelly Rowland revealed that she's looking forward to reuniting with her biological father for the first time in twenty years. While Rowland expressed some concern over the meeting, she also acknowledged that her BFF Beyonce and Bey's family helped fill the void that her absentee dad created.

"I think every little girl wants to be a darling in her father’s eyes, and I’m going to get the opportunity to meet my biological father, so we’ll see what happens," she said. "That’s all I can say because I’m going to meet someone I haven’t seen in more than 20 years. In my heart I have forgiven him."

When asked if Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's Pop and former manager for both Bey and Kelly, helped her as a 'father-figure,' her answer was pointed.

"Well, I am so thankful I was able to have my mom and Tina (Knowles), as well as wonderful women in my life," she said, noticeably omitting Matthew's name. "So I’m happy about that."

He was not arrested.

Kelly Rowland Is Bossy?

Kelly Rowland seems like a sweetheart, but a being a superstar singer can lead to relationship problems. Namely, Ms. Rowland says that she can be a control freak. Kelly says that her 'bossiness' has gotten on some of her significant others' nerves and is a good indicator of why she's not with anybody.

"The desire to be in control and decide everything myself as much as possible gets in the way," Rowland says. "The fact that I can act a little bossy has ruined quite a few dates. I choose the restaurant, I open the door myself, sometimes I’ll even pay the bill. I really have to learn to let a man be a gentleman.That’s probably one of the reasons why I’m single. I get in the way of myself when it comes to men."

Kelly Rowland Supports Kim Kardashian

Kelly Rowland empathizes with newly-divorced Kim Kardashian. While the world lined up to mock Kimmy K and her abrupt divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries, Rowland says she can relate to what the reality star is going through. Rowland almost married NFL star Roy Williams several years ago and says now that she's glad she didn't go through with what would've been a bad decision.

“I wanted that wedding. I wanted to be married," Rowland says. “You can just make wrong decisions in life. That was all part of growing up. I just think it’s important to trust your gut. I did a lot of soul-searching afterwards, and I want to be married, so dating is part of that process.”

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.

Kelly Rowland On Beyonce's Baby Girl

Even though the gender of superstar couple Jay-Z and Beyonce's already-famous baby was announced last week, there was no 'official' confirmation. Now, Bey's BFF Kelly Rowland has given the universe all of the proof it needs that Beyonce is indeed having a little diva.

“I’m so happy for my sister and her husband. They’re so happy in this moment right now, as they should be. They’ve made a little bundle of love, I’m so excited for them," Rowland told Glamour. “I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won’t be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after."

“I’ll be on hand for babysitting duties and I’m actually very good with messy diapers!” Kelly added.

Beyonce Praises Kelly Rowland

Beyonce recently did an interview with the British magazine New! and discussed her bestie Kelly Rowland's career and also talked about whether or not Ms. Rowland has any future plans for motherhood. Beyonce had nothing but praise for her former Destiny's Child bandmate.

"My girl is one of the hardest-working women in the industry," Beyonce said about Kelly. "We have known each other for so long, we are like sisters. She isn't just somebody I was in a group with, this girl is my family."

She also shared her thoughts on Kelly's future Momma-hood.

"You know Kelly loves kids, and she will 100 per cent be a mum in the future," Beyonce says. "She is a busy girl at the moment, but when she feels the time is right and she;s don what she wants, then she is going to make a fantastic mum!"

Kelly Rowland Is Excited For Beyonce

Kelly Rowland says she's ecstatic over BFF Beyonce's pregnancy. The former Destiny's Child singer shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming baby in a recent interview, saying that she can't wait to babysit Bey and hubby Jay-Z's first born.

"I'm so happy for her and her husband and just excited to be an auntie -- part two," Rowland told MTV. "First it was [Solange's son] Julez -- Now it's a new baby on the rise; it's gonna to be so exciting...I'll help take care of my 'sister' and her husband's baby first."

Kelly says she's not looking to become a Mommy herself anytime soon.

"I'm not ready for babies yet," she shared. "I can watch them take care of this little baby...I get to babysit, yes -- It's a wonderful moment. I just saw my sister today, and I got a chance to rub her tummy."

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."

Kelly Rowland On Flings

Kelly Rowland opened up about her dating happens in a recent VIBE interview. The R&B star revealed that she isn't a big fan of flings--even though she's had her 'situations.' She also shared that she isn't one to discriminate when it comes to dating.

"I like a Mr. Right. I don’t want them hopping around with Sarah, Michelle, Jessica… I want him to be mine," she responded when asked if she preferred a 'Mr. Right' or a 'Mr. Right Now.' But Rowland was honest about whether or not she'd ever had a casual fling. "Um… [giggles]. Okay, yeah, I did have a situation like that. In London. And it was cool."

"But generally, that’s not how I get down."

Kelly also revealed that she's not shy about dating outside of her race. "Absolutely," she said with a laugh. "I’ve been down with the swirl."

Kelly Rowland's Wardrobe Malfunction

Kelly Rowland had a little more than a nipple slip during a recent performance in New Jersey. The singer's breasts were briefly accidentally exposed as she sang her hit "Motivation." The wardrobe malfunction happened just a few days after rapper Nicki Minaj's boob popped out during a performance on "Good Morning America."

Rowland, as she should, made light of the incident.

"New Jersey crowd was amazing!! hope you enjoyed the show and didnt mind the peekaboo LOL!!!" she tweeted. "#kanyeshrug #stuffhappens."

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 Loves Lil Wayne

Singer Kelly Rowland is the latest celeb to sing the praises of rap star Lil Wayne. Following kudos from Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow, Ms. Kelly is also a huge fan of the Cash Money/Young Money superstar.

"He's just an artist that loves music," said Rowland. "You can tell that just by how genius he is on his records. When I loved this record ["Motivation"], I was hoping he would love the record. And you can tell that it vibed with him or it connected with him in some sort of way for him to do what he did on this record because when I got it back -- I literally was at a loss for words."
