THE ROUND UP: KELLY’S ALBUM PUSHED BACK; TOLD U HE WASN’T 25; JIGGA’S MOM HONORED; SHAR WANTS TO WORK WITH PHARRELL
Friday, May 11, 2007

According to her official site, Kelly Rowland’s album has been pushed back…YET AGAIN! This time it’s only by a week, but I have a feeling this isn’t the last of it. Ms. Kelly was set to be released on June 26th, but was pushed back to July 7th. Kelly you need switch management, ASAP!
DOES THAT FACE LOOK 25?

Akon and his camp has been telling everyone he was born in 1981 ever since he hit the scene. This obviously was a damn lie, because different reports say the singer is actually 34. Even Vibe Magazine had to keep it real with the public. Come on Akon we all could tell your ass wasn’t an 80’s baby anyway. Get the fuck outta here.
GLORIA CARTER HONORED

Jay-Z stopped by City Hall to watch his mother, Gloria Carter, receive a proclamation from the City Council for her “outstanding contributions to the community.”
Carter oversees the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, a college-focused charity created in 2003 to help people who might otherwise not have the opportunity for higher education, such as disadvantaged youth and nontraditional high school graduates. The charity also offers mentoring programs and other services.
Jay-Z looked on as his mother received the framed proclamation. Afterward, they embraced in the City Hall rotunda.
“Very proud of her,” the 37-year-old rapper said as they left the building.
SHAR WORKING ON AN ALBUM
Former Moesha star and K-Fed’s Original Baby Mama Shar Jackson is hoping to launch her pop career with a little help from producer Pharrell Williams.
Shar, who recently underwent cosmetic surgery overhaul, is hoping to release her first album later this year, and she’s calling on the studio skills of Williams.
“I’ve got everything crossed. I’d really like to work with Pharrell.”

S. is really 37?? good grief!
That means Akon got to be right on his old ass tail…who really thought he was 25?? Im 25!! Hell naw!
What exactly is Shar supposed to be doing? Rapping, singing, complaining, dissing? Tryin to keep that 15 1/2 minutes of fame from getting dumped by some low life for another rich low-life? How you get attention from being a nobody’s ex?

Well damn that’s messed up! but uh…either I’m not really paying much attention or they arent even promoting Kelly’s album! If it wasnt for the internet I wouldn’t know she had an album coming out all I know about is her single “Like This” and her video which I barely see then again I dont watch much t.v.
25 my ass! we were REALLY suppose to believe that? I mean I KNOW a couple of ppl who look old as hell and they are in their 20’s but still let’s be real fool look like he pushing a good 42

POOR KELLY, THEY DO HER SO WRONG, THEY GONNA WAIT UNTIL A ALBUM COME OUT THAT MAY BE BETTER THAN HERS, THAT WAY HER’S CAN FLOP LIKE SOLANGE ALBUM AND MAYBE THE FOCUS WILL TURN TO KELLY’S ALBUM FLOPPING, THE KNOWLES ARE SOME MESSED UP INDIVIDUALS.
AKON–NEXT–HE LOOK OLDER THAN JAY-Z, WAY OLDER, WHO IN THE HELL THOUGHT HE WAS 25
NICE TO SEE JAY-Z MOM HONORED, THEY BOTH DOIN BIG THINGS AND ITS NICE TO SEE SOMEONE LOOKING OUT FOR THE KIDS.
SHAR—NEXT—ANOTHER K-FED TRADGEDY (CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE OUTCOME) BUT THEN AGAIN PHARELL IS HOT, HOPEFULLY HE CAN MAKE IT A GOOD ALBUM.

Dude more looks like he’s 45 pushing 50. I’m 37 and dude don’t look like he’s in his 30’s. Unless he been living a hard life, and I mean real hard. Then that dude is like 40 something. He looks way older than myself. And I look like I’m in my 30’s

Is Kelly’s album ever gonna hit the damn shelves. I don’t understand why she still rolls with Matt Knowles if her stuff never gets the publicity that B’s does. I guess she feels that she owes them her life or somethin’ *whatever*…
I never even thought or heard of Akon’a sge b4 but I guess now that I think of it, his ass looks nowhere near 25…

Stop insulting this girl’s intelligence..people act like she’s dumb or naive. She is a grown ass woman and makes her own decisions.
People act like she’s the only artist that pushes back their album. Why is it that when she does, it’s a big issue.
And when fyi, when a album is “pushed back”, it’s the record company, not the manager. Just like managers can’t decide when to release an album, they can’t push em back either.

I think Kelly pushed her album back a week because a lot of people are coming out with new releases on June 26. I know 50 Cent’s new album will be released that day, and he’s been # 1 twice so far, so I dont blame her for not wanting to compete with him.

Akon’s from Africa and they are always forging/editing passports, making up dates to get into the country etc FACT. don’t get all self-righteous on me cos anyone who is part of the African community or knows them is aware of this. Akon makes my skin crawl. I can’t believe this fool is actually popular. His sick perverted crispy ass needs to be shipped off on the nearest banana boat. Look at his face and you can tel dude is hella old. and whats up with that fucked up shit with his left eye?war wound? tribal mark? spear dent? god i hate him sooooo much and i ain’t afraid to show it.
i’ve given up on Kelly and her mediocre music career. she might have a great personlity, great voice, great looks but she just aint got IT. Beyonce/JLo/Mariah wouldn’t take being fucked about by a record company that doesn’t put them first. they would jump ship & do whats best for them. but Kelly’s too sweet, nice, naive and she stands for it and it pisses me off. NEXXXXXXXTTTTTT @ Kelendra Rowland. NEXT

Kelly feels like she loyal to the Knowles thats why she still with them. But she aint that stupid. She’ll wise up after this album flop and break away from Joe Jackson number 2 and they drop her from columbia records with the Knowles support or not record labels like big sells. Its sad because she can sing in my opinion better than Beyonce.
About Akon every artist lower they age in the music industry Ne-yo Ginuiwine R kelly etc….. they all 10 years older. So leave him alone he still selling records.

Kelly tyring to get a pass out of the wig crypt. you know they be starvin her ass down there. Those pics ain’t even her. The real Kelly has aged about 20 years due to lack of proper food and sunlight.

Akon is not a webmaster. Yes some websites have him as n October 14, 1981) but on official ones his correct age has always been listed.
Stop hating. The girl never should been up in the club. She used fake ID and from pictures she wanted Akon to grind up on her and dry hump

I bet their boxers are sweaty, musty and moist and stink of big black dick. Even typing about naked black men turns me on. I bet they are so aggresive in bed. Wow.

He’s the facial version of Iman’s feet rofl!! Angel you had me rollin when you said, We could tell your ass wasn’t an 80’s baby. Get the fuck outta here”. Hehe, always keepin it real on the CL!!!
Kelly needs to grow a spine and find some new management, this ish is ridiculous. Not that I’d buy her CD anyway, but if I was in her position getting my hard work pushed back every time I turned around I’d be heated! You need to just do you Kelly.

The album got pushed back because the label has faith in her and doesn’t want her to be over looked by 50 Cent, that’s why they are doing it big for “Like This” and releasing “Comeback” as the 2nd single which has leaked already
Sorry for the ones that wanna talk about stuff they know anything about

Congrats to Jay’s Mom, doing something positive for the community.
Album dates get changed all of the time - I know Kelly’s has been changed a lot it seems, but she said herself, that SHE wasn’t satisfied with the material.
Everybody saying she needs to change labels and management, but there are no other labels or management really checking for her - and no label is going to make her their #1 priority.

@ Chelly the Beyonce stans think you turned your back on them…lmao.your statement was coherently stated that you were fan of both ladies..smh..people need to stop half ass reading shit before they start calling people out
Kelly has personality, looks, and talent…but the songs that they give Kelly aren’t great at all..they do no justice for her..Matthew is Kelly’s manager for all the stupid fans that they think he has nothing to do with it..Beyonce SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE COVER OF VIBE because she has been overly promoted on this mediocre B’day album.,,as MATTHEW BEING HER MANAGER he should’ve done his job with gettng her heard like they do with Beyonce..but he’s not because he wants his daugher to have the best not saying he shouldn’t but he has other people to manage other than his daughter not to mention she is on his label..smh..Kelly needs to get another manager to further her career and to mold her style so she can stand out from Beyonce and for people to not compare the two..Brandy told her the deal but she didn’t listen because she was all in Beyonce ass..KELLY THIS IS BUSINESS NOTHING PERSONAL BETWEEN YOU AND THE KNOWLES FAMILY GET THAT MONEY AND FAME

Akon looks like somebody’s grandfather in that photo! I never really noticed how old he looked until now because I don’t pay no mind to his non talented ass. I was always confused when I heard a female say that he was sexy. Yeah the hell right!!!
It’s not just the record company who pushes the album back, it can be the actual artist, or the manager who is very involved with the marketing plan. In this case, Matthew Knowles cruel ass has screwed up Kelly again. He pushed it back once for a full year, now twice? This is why I don’t like Kelly, she’s boring and just plain stupid.
Shar on releasing an album??? Can she even sing? I don’t know about this, I would have to hear her voice and music. Pharell is a hot producer though so…
