KELLY Rowland To Meet Her Dad FIRST TIME In 22 Years
THE ‘Down for Whatever’ US singer is planning to meet with her estranged dad Christopher Lovett for the first time in 22 years, and she admits the reunion is only happening because she accidently saw him in a magazine.
She said: “A couple of weeks ago I was reading through a magazine and I saw a picture of him. I didn’t even know who it was until I read the caption. I haven’t seen him for 22 years.
“After that, I do plan on seeing him over the holidays, I’m nervous as hell. I don’t want to think about it. We’ll see what happens.”
Kelly – who was raised by her mother Doris before moving in with the family of her Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyonce Knowles when she was 11 –admits she has few memories of her dad and what she can remember is very “bleak”.
She told the new issue of Britain’s Marie Claire magazine:
“They’re pretty bleak memories to be honest. My earliest memories of him are short visits.
“It wasn’t really bonding time. Me and my mom were always chasing after him. As a kid, that’s not a good feeling.”
When she saw the picture of Christopher, Kelly surprised even herself with her extreme reaction.
She explained: “I completely lost it. My camp saw me disappear into the bathroom and they were like, ‘What happened?’
“I didn’t know there was so much emotion still there.
“You close so many different things of your life, and I like to shut them off and keep moving. But, in that moment, it just sucked everything out of me and I cried so hard. There were so many different emotions –confusion more than anything.”

For most of our mentally colonised media, news is what happens to Western idols. Haven’t you seen how evry ****** thing David Beckham does is headlines in Zambia? The media idolise British royalty, american politicians, European soccer stars and turn a blind eye to local idols and issues because they are too busy imagining they live in New York or London. African man wake up Heaven is in Africa. Nowhere else

The news is okay ba tumfweko in fact I’m interested to know how it goes. Ignore the vulgar lang. In the media you got to develope a crocdile skin. Some guys just enloy dissing and shooting. Guys if you not interested in a news item just ignore it. Who said you should read all the news items here. And you can as well get your news feeds from other sites. Lets not misuse the net and be Zambian. Insele tesho!!!!!!

I agree with Lasso. Three quaters of the news is rightly Zambian. Havent you heard of International news?????…..Hello…..? Even on bbc there’s international news and home news. Does that mean they are colonised by us. Go to bbc right now and look at their top stories. You will find that the first story topping the list of headlines today is ‘Plea for calm after DR Congo Poll’. Thats in africa. And this story on kelly is american but you will find it on british media, Nigerian Media, South african media, et certra. And they all dont have a problem but you. Mwilai sebanya.

Ba John Peter. After covering all home news, it is important for any media from any country or region to look at international news as well naimwe yaaabaaa. If you dont want to what is happening around the world just read what is Zambian and shut up.

Imwe ba fyatile, we also like tumfweko thats y we want it to be perfect.Critics are not enemies but comrades who seek perfection.Actually u are the ones who do not want the best for tumfweko becoz the one you love you correct. a spade is a spade that was not worthy news but worst of our time in reading and space for themslves.
