Kelly Rowland: Post Destiny's Child and Running the Game

She may be one of the founding members of the most popular girl group of all-time, but Kelly Rowland is a star all on her own and 2013 will be her year.



We all first fell for the gorgeous singer/dancer/actress/TV personality from everyone's favorite all girls R&B band, Destiny's Child, but today Ms. Kelly is becoming a brand of her own. The group called it quits back in '05, and Kelly's been hard at work on her own endeavors since (actually, even before they split she was making her own moves.) She's had a few hits and misses on the charts with her solo projects, but in 2011 she topped the R&B/Hip Hop charts with her album Here I Am (which features her HUGE hit "Motivation.") It's been ON ever since! Everyone in the music biz is trying to get Kelly on their track. In 2011 Kelly reunited with Nelly (previously dubbed perfect for one another when they released their number one "Dilemma" back in 2002) for their hit "Gone." She teamed up with Ludacris to "represent" for beautiful women across the world in 2012. Ms. Rowland also got together with Future on the remix for his hit "Neva End." Now in 2013 she's running the charts with her own smash "Kisses Down Low," produced by Mike Will! No announcement of when the next CD will be released but if it's anything like it's first single, it's sure to be another number one.

Kelly Rowland is more than her music though. She began acting back in 2002 with roles on series such as The Hughely's and Taina. She later appeared in various films, such as Freddy vs Jason (2003,) The Seat Filler (2004) and Think Like A Man (2012.) She got her first TV personality gig in 2007 as a choirmaster on Clash of the Choirs. In 2009 Kelly hosted Bravo's reality competition series The Fashion Show, and in 2011 she served as a judge on the UK's version of The X Factor. This year, however, we've seen Kelly Rowland at her finest as she hosted the red carpet pre-Oscars. She also hosted BET's biggest fashion event of the year Rip The Runway! This girl is definitely on the come-up!

Did we mention she's stunning? Kelly has always been beautiful, but lately she has been absolutely jaw-dropping on the red carpets. She is definitely making a name for herself in the fashion world! She has killed event after event after event! Kelly Rowland is definitely one to keep our eyes peeled for now, because she is giving it to us, honey!
