Kelly Rowland Wants Xmas Reunion with Estranged Dad

*Kelly Rowland says she’s ready to forgive her estranged father and wants to spend some time with him this Christmas.

The singer has not seen her father, Christopher Lovett, since she was 7years-old,

after her mother walked out on him when he turned to alcohol after losing his job,

but now she thinks it is important to “forgive” him.

Speaking on the UK version of ‘The X Factor’, which aired this weekend, Kelly says: “It’s really important just to forgive my father.

I want to meet him this Christmas, because now is the time, because tomorrow’s not promised to us.”

Kelly is a mentor to the girls on “The X Factor” and will be seen talking to Misha B, who has suffered similar emotional problems after being abandoned by her mother as a baby.

“I think it’s important to forgive people and we move on, we have to,” Kelly says on the show.

“The pain is there, of course it will be there, and it’s important to know that forgiveness is the first step towards healing it all.”

Christopher, 65, reached out to Kelly earlier this year, asking for forgiveness and saying he wanted to finally step up and be a father to her.

Giving his account of what happened, he said: “Kelly, I love you with all my heart. Please forgive me and let me be your dad again. I lost my job at a transportation company, sank into a depression about money and began drinking more and more.

The failure to provide for my family fuelled an anger that I will be ashamed of until my dying day. It wasn’t physical between me and Kelly’s mom, but there were many days and nights when Kelly would be bawling her eyes out.

“I really hoped I would get to make it up to her. Sadly I am still waiting for that day. But I can’t give up hope,” he said.

Kelly was happy to hear from her father after so long, but wishes he had been more discreet in trying to contact her. “He reached out to me, saying he wanted to see me but it’s unfortunate he did it so publicly,” she said.

Stuff You Didn’t Know About Kelly Rowland


*In celebration of her new album, “Here I Am,” Kelly Rowland visited the peeps at Essence. She gave them the low-down on her hit single “Motivation,” dishes on Beyonce, and talks about her favorite fashion, beauty and hair moments.

Besides the video below with managing editor Emil Wilbekin, she spoke on …
Dating/Love:
Kelly admits she has zero time for anything serious right now, but the Texas native gave us a clue as to what kind of man could “motivate” a southern belle like her to one day change her mind.
“He’s got to have great confidence,” Kelly tells us about the man she’d consider settling down for. “He’s got to be assured in himself as a man and have great goals. Ambition looks so sexy on anybody. Plus, I think it’s really important for him to have a great sense of humor. That’s just so sexy to me.”

About her “Here I Am” CD:

It took a long time for her to decide on an album title.
“At one point I asked my fans to help,” says Kelly. “Finally, I was having a meeting with my product manager and I said, ‘I want people to know that I’m here, that this is the most revealing record I’ve ever done, that this is the record, here I am.’ My product manager says, ‘that’s it.’”

She took a lot of creative control on this album, down to the sequencing of the songs.
“I wanted everything to be so definitive, like the songs and the lyrics, the arrangements, everything. I wanted to make a statement on this record. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years it’s that the sequencing of a record is so important. The titles and the sounds just have to flow into one another — that’s incredibly important.”

She worked with her favorite producers.
“I met back up with Rodney Jerkins because I hadn’t seen him since the last Destiny’s Child record. Being back with him was as if we had finished the DC record yesterday, and we picked right up where we left off. He has such amazing energy. Rico Love laid the foundation. I love him. He pushed me so much, and I am just so grateful to him because he brought out a different side of me. I also loved working with Red One, and Jim Johnson. His mom made me chocolate brownies, so I was really happy.”

Kelly Rowland in a rage over cabin crew

KELLY Rowland flew into Sydney yesterday - and then into a rage after a bust-up with Qantas cabin crew.
Rowland launched a verbal assault on the hosties as she walked through the domestic terminal, having just disembarked from flight QF430 from Melbourne.

The former Destiny's Child singer claimed she and her entourage had been treated like children on the flight, which landed about 1.40pm, and vowed to complain about the service, calling it "s****y".
It is thought the incident was sparked by some passengers using mobile phones on board and others sitting in the wrong seats.

"I found the flight attendants really shitty. I don't know why. You tell me," Rowland said.
"They were very rude to us. That's the first time you'll ever hear me say a curse word. They were just rude to us on the plane. They treated us like five-year-old kids."

Asked what sparked the incident she said, "I don't know. Every time I've flown Qantas it's always been fantastic. It was rather unpleasant."

Rowland is in town for last night's Supafest gig at Acer Arena, (reports The Daily Telegraph).
Fellow headliners Akon, Eve and Sean Paul were also on the plane but are not believed to have been involved in the incident.

A Qantas spokesman said it was important that all passengers followed the crew's instructions.
