Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland wants to reunite with Destiny’s Child after watching the success of the Spice Girls’ reunion world tour.

The struggling solo artist admits she and the rest of the band have discussed reuniting.

She says, “This current spate of reunions has given us ideas. Despite what people say we are all still really close.

“A couple of weeks ago Beyonce did a show in Los Angeles and asked me and Michelle (Williams) to join her on stage for Survivor.

“It was a real tear-jerker. The fans were crying and going nuts. I’d definitely like us to do more stuff like that.”

Kelly says she and Beyonce will further discuss the band’s future over Christmas dinner, adding, “As ever, Beyonce and I will spend Christmas Day together. It will be a real family affair.”

Does she have no shame? Discussing business over Christmas dinner is pitiful to say the least. SMH.
