Kelly Rowland Wins TV Personality Award After X Factor Exit

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Glamour Women of the Year Awards – Kelly Rowland looked absolutely gorgeous last night as she waltzed across the red carpet at the 2012 Glamour Women of the Year Awards. The former UK X Factor judge was stunning in a black satin dress with an elaborate yet beautiful feather print on the back.

Others attending the event included Eva Longoria, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba and Dionne Warwick. Eva may have thought her Latina sisters were the hottest when she tweeted,

“Me and the gorgeous Latinas at Glamour UK Awards @jessicaalba @sofiavergara and the most Latin one @piersmorgan !! Ha!”

…but Kelly had them beat.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
