Singer Kelly Rowland is gearing up for a venture in television.
The Destiny’s Child member recently shot a TV pilot in Miami, Florida for a travel and lifestyle series that she will host called ‘Around The World.’ The show is a hip, modern version of ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.’
The series will feature the 27-year-old, Houston-bred singer showcasing the hottest food, hotel, restaurant and party destinations all over the world.
I hear networks are impressed with the pilot and jumping at the bit to land the show.
Apparently, E! Entertainment, Bravo, Style Network, A&E, VH1 and Oprah Winfrey’s new OWN channel have expressed interest in the series.
‘Around The World’ is being produced by Acclaim Films (Datari Turner/Phil Thornton), who produced TV One’s reality show, ‘I Married A Baller,’ in partnership with actor Brian Hooks’ 4th Quarter Films company. Rowland and Music World Entertainment are producers on the series as well.

The singer, who has released two solo CDs, has had tremendous success with her sophomore opus, ‘Ms. Kelly’ in the U.K.
The set was re-released to retail outlets internationally as, ‘Ms. Kelly: Deluxe Edition,’ and features a cover of the Bobby Womack song ‘Daylight.’
Rowland has become a media darling in the U.K., regularly photographed by the paparazzi there and commonly featured in both the U.K. celebrity weeklies.
