Kelly Rowland is a control freak.

The former Destiny's Child singer admits she likes to plan every detail of her life but was pleased recently when her date insisted he make all her decisions.

She explained: "When I'm on a date, I'm very in charge. It's like, 'Hello my name is Kelly and I'm a bit of a control freak!' Even when I go to dinner with my friends, I say, 'OK, we'll all order this and this and this, and I want this day to run like this'

"I'd gotten away with it on some dates until recently when this guy actually made me be the woman, and I thought that was really cool.

"He said, 'Let me be the man; I know you know what's great on the menu, and I know you know exactly where you like to go, but I like to be spontaneous, so tonight you'll be the lady and I'll be the man.' And I was like, well alright! I liked the way he put me in my place. He'll be getting a call back."

The 'Commander' singer advises girls to carry on with their lives even after they get a boyfriend.

She said: "If you think he deserves a bit more of your time and effort, then go for it, but he has to deserve it and prove he's doing that too. I like to have girly days with my friends and that day can't move even for a guy."

Kelly also gave women advice for how to get rid of an undesirable man.

Rumors claiming Destiny's Child is planning a reunion are false, the former U.S. music group's manager said Monday.

"Contrary to rumors online of a Destiny's Child reunion, there are no plans for the group to reunite for a performance or album. The rumors are false," said a statement from Mathew Knowles issued by Columbia Records/Music World.

"Destiny's Child made an unprecedented impact in contemporary music, becoming one of the best-selling groups of all time," the statement added. "Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have each moved on to successful solo careers. The members remain close, but will not reunite as a group."

Kelly Rowland rowed with cabin crew on a "sh**ty" flight into Sydney, Australia yesterday (15.04.10).

The former Destiny's Child singer reportedly flew into a rage as she got off her flight from Melbourne and criticised staff on the plane for being "rude", "unpleasant" and treating her and her entourage like children.

She said: "I found the flight attendants really sh**ty. I don't know why. You tell me.

"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."

According to reports, tension on the Qantas airlines journey started when a group of passengers - believed to be in Kelly's entourage - started using their mobile telephones and sat in wrong seats.

Kelly Rowland once fell asleep on a date.

The Destiny's Child singer - who is currently single - once dozed off during a romantic cinema trip with a prospective boyfriend and was snoring so loudly her bandmate Beyonce Knowles had to interrupt and wake her up.

She explained: "Once I fell asleep. He was the nicest guy, but I just happened to fall asleep. We were at a movie and yes, he noticed that I fell asleep. Beyonce had to come up to me and say, 'You're snoring. We can hear you snoring back here.' That was so embarrassing."

The 'Independent Women' group - which also included Michelle Williams - are currently taking time off from the girl group to focus on their own individual projects.

However, the 28-year-old singer and Beyonce, also 28, are still great friends and haven't ruled out a reunion.

She explained: "If I'm in New York and Beyonce is in New York, we're there with each other. We pretty much like to stay in or we'll go to a lounge - it depends if we feel like being out.

Kelly Rowland's Fried Rider

Kelly Rowland demanded friend chicken and a special chair at Elton John's charity gig over the weekend.

The former Destiny's Child star told organisers at the Elton John Aids Foundation bash that she wanted "untold amounts of KFC" and a "love seat" before her performance.

It seems Kelly is undertaking an unusual diet - last week it was claimed the 28-year-old had banned chocolate from the gig and also needed a hypnotherapist to make sure she didn't succumb to her urge for the treat.

In the past Kelly has admitted that she sometimes allows herself to eat burgers and cookies when she gets lazy.

The 'When Love Takes Over' singer performed a number of her biggest solo hits, as well as some songs from her time in Destiny's Child.

Guests, including Lily Allen and Liz Hurley, enjoyed a three-course meal at the event which was held at London's Grosvenor House hotel.

They started with a winter salad of glazed figs, ham and goats cheese mousse, followed by sea bass and potatoes with a chocolate truffle with blackberries for desert.

50 Cent Recruits Kelly Rowland For Video

Rapper 50 Cent says former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland "never received the superstar treatment" that Beyonce got in the girl group. And he's doing his bit to fix that.

Rowland co-stars in his "Baby By Me" video, which premiered on the Internet Monday. The track appears on his "Before I Self Destruct" album, now due November 16 via Interscope. It marks his follow-up to 2007's "Curtis," which peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. charts.

"You can't forget all the work she did with Destiny's Child," he told Billboard.com. "The difference between Kelly and Beyonce is the extreme focus they put on Beyonce to make sure she was completely right. Kelly wasn't held in the same regard, so, in order for her to mean anything to America, they'd have to match the marketing dollars spent on Beyonce. She never received the superstar treatment."

The video finds 50 Cent meeting an around-the-way Rowland and day-dreaming about moving out of the 'hood and living a blissful life in the suburbs, where the happy couple resides with their three sons. But, after declaring his love and promises of sexing her up, 50 discovers the visions were all figments of his imagination, as Rowland is actually already married to another man, with whom she has a child.

Rowland isn't the only "Kelly" with whom 50 Cent worked on this project; he also collaborated on a total of three songs with R. Kelly, including one titled "Could've Been You," which made the final cut. But the album isn't all love, lust and sex, according to 50 Cent, who says there's a lot of "aggression" on this album as well.

"This album is the sequel to (his 2003 breakthrough) 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' -- it has all the elements that I missed writing about on that first project," 50 Cent said. "That album translated the strongest and what I presented then was a lot of aggression. The actual album has lyrics about moments from my childhood, and I describe then from a child's perspective."

Beyonce Knowles wants to clarify the MOBO rumors while singer Kelly Rowland is asking the MOBO organizers for an apology after she claims her performance was affected by bad sound quality. Kelly, 28, sung a rendition of her latest track When Love Takes Over with David Guetta at the recent event, but she said she wasn't happy with the sound.

She said on Twitter: "OK. So, I'm at the MoBo's and getting ready to have a GREAT show with David and the MoBo's F'd my sound up!!!!! P****D!!!!! "HONESTLY, that just makes me work harder! But, what I will say is the MoBo's owe me an apology!!!! I was LIVID after the show! "I wanted you guy to be the 1st to hear it from me! rehearsals. were fine. soundcheck. was fine. performance, was a struggle at 1st."

More MOBO...Singer Beyonce has denied reports she is not attending the upcoming MOBO awards in Glasgow, Scotland because the city is "too white". Beyonce, 28, is nominated for an award at the bash but will not be attending the ceremony to pick up the gong. After performing for cancer patients at a hospital in Singapore, the singer was asked about the rumors and she said: "That's just not true."
Former MOBO panelist Paul McKenzie said: "The real problem is getting the stars to go to Glasgow. I can understand why the MOBOs went to Glasgow - because they were having problems getting the council to foot the bill for security. But it doesn't work." Beyonce's team are insisting that the star was just not able to attend the bash. An insider said: "The slur about Glasgow is just not true. Beyonce knows exactly where it is. "I think you'll find that Beyonce is not the type of person to be impressed by the idea that she would snub one city over the other. Glasgow was good enough for her when she toured the UK. She thought the audience were wonderful."
