For some celebrities–your Katie Holmeses and your Angelina Jolies–pregnancy can elevate their careers and make them visible to tabloids for the first time. In the world of celebrity gossip a baby is akin to sprouting a unicorn horn–people just can't look away. Look at Liv Tyler; she somehow survived a Ben Affleck cinematic romantic coupling and a prolonged career break, yet she's still in Us Weekly every couple of weeks. But for Kelly Rowland, motherhood is just going to get in the way of her plans. Beyonce would never let that happen.
So refresh our memory. Who exactly is Kelly Rowland? She's the other one from Destiny's Child. Not that one that nobody knows, but the one that a couple of teenage girls totally love and are always defending as, like, totally being a better singer than Beyonce and stuff. The one who was in Freddy Vs. Jason. Considering it took us that long just to get a picture of Brandy out of our head and replace it with one of Kelly Rowland, maybe taking time off to have a baby isn't exactly the best career move right now. She said:
It's kind of a bittersweet feeling because I was planning to release an album next year.
Yeah, sure, it's cool I'm having a baby. I'm happy I guess. But I'm really bummed about having to put off this album. If I'm only a minor celebrity when I give birth I'll have to give the kid a really stupid name like Susquehanna or something and the baby will make it onto those lists with Pilot Inspektor Reisgraf-Lee and Tu Morrow. But if I'm super famous I can name the baby something that I'll pretend means beautiful or precious in Swahili or something and it will be able to play with Suri and Shiloh. I wonder if my doctor can, like, take the fetus out of me and put it on ice until after my record is a huge hit and no one remembers that show-off Beyonce anymore. That would be perfect.
