Singer Kelly Rowland is gearing up for a venture in television.
The Destiny's Child member recently shot a TV pilot in
The series will feature the 27-year-old, Houston-bred singer showcasing the hottest food, hotel, restaurant and party destinations all over the world.
I hear networks are impressed with the pilot and jumping at the bit to land the show.
Apparently, E! Entertainment, Bravo, Style Network, A&E, VH1 and Oprah Winfrey's new OWN channel have expressed interest in the series.
'Around The World' is being produced by Acclaim Films (Datari Turner/Phil Thornton), who produced TV One's reality show, 'I Married A Baller,' in partnership with actor Brian Hooks' 4th Quarter Films company. Rowland and Music World Entertainment are producers on the series as well.
In other Rowland news, I hear 'The Seat Filler' star is on the market for a residence in
The singer, who has released two solo CDs, has had tremendous success with her sophomore opus, 'Ms. Kelly' in the U.K.
The set was re-released to retail outlets internationally as, 'Ms. Kelly: Deluxe Edition,' and features a cover of the Bobby Womack song 'Daylight.'
Rowland has become a media darling in the U.K., regularly photographed by the paparazzi there and commonly featured in the U.K. celebrity weeklies.

I am glad to see Kelly Rowland doing something outside of the music business. I've always thought of her as well spokened and that she was the "sharpest" member in Destiny's Child. I think an opportunity like this is right up her alley. I wish you well Ms.Rowland!!

I think she will be great at this. She has a great personality-very personable- and she is well spoken! I can't wait to support it. This is a good move.

I'm so sorry but, I would not be watching this show, I know that Beyounce's dad is trying to help his daughter in way he can, but Kelly really needs to get a life by getting married and having kids, and by then the group can get together and have a tour when they are in their thirities. Like Salt-n-Pepa are doing or she may want to go on a reality show Ha! Ha! Ha!

I believe that this is a great opportunity for Kelly Rowland, because of her lovable and sophisticated personality and great sense of style. Of coarse everyone loves Beyonce Knowles and all of her successful projects,but it's time for another member of the worldy popular girl group "Destiny's Child", to rise to the top in success. It's also good to know that Kelly will be producing the show as well. Who knows, maybe Kelly Rowland's new show could soar in ratings just as it did on the Tyra Banks show.

I wish her much success. She's always been my favorite DC member anyway, and I found it so sad to see her wasting away in Beyonce's shadow. Do your thing, girl.
