‘Keep It Between Us’ belter Kelly Rowland certainly kept all eyes on her as she made her entrance to the 2012 5th annual ‘ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood’.
The annual soiree, which this year saluted the achievements of African American actresses Octavia Spencer, Kerry Washington, Pam Grier, and Paula Patton, was a star studded affair that guest-listed names like Wendy Raquel Robinson, Tasha Smith, Jill Scott, Nicole Ari Parker, and more.
American Idol alum Jordin Sparks was also on hand to sing tribute to her late ‘Sparkle’ co-star Whitney Houston. See all the glitz and glam in pictures below (all photos courtesy of Essence magazine):

UNTIL
big fat, f** h**, no job having hater- X, Y, and Z and all “its” other aliases join in.
My b**** got dough u aint got, got grammyS, you aint got, got fashions- you aint got, the Billboard titled “biggest rnb song of 2011” (yas, from a semi-flop album-so what)- which you aint got. SO why keep talking about album sales and irrelevant s***. My girl has come a loooooong way from being Beyonce’s doo wop background.
SO who are you. Post some real s*** about who you are, and what you offer to the world! But you cant… and you wont…. so kick rocks.
@ Andre Leroy MF Davis, Truth, Lax and @ To XY nad Z, i love you all. You all said exactly what was on my mind. I love Kelly Rowland, and she is doing well.
Well… I see all the Rowdogs have congregated and are at “full howl”..children of the night, what sweet music they make:
“Death to XYZ”.. Long live B****-Queen Diva Kelendria Trene.
“Death to XYZ”.. Fly HER flag we give our most.
“Death to XYZ”.. Clapping hands – calling for thunder – exposing carotid throat.
“Death to XYZ”.. Rowdog Bloodhound ‘hot sun – cool moon’ run-strong give chase. “Death to XYZ”.. Rowdog Pitbull plow deep in neck vein.
“Death to XYZ”.. Rowdog steel + Rowdog venom + Rowdog magic = Rowdog thunder!
*XYZ watches horizon; studies the terrain; consults “bush doctor”*
*XYZ then runs to highest hill far above the “darkness that is the valley of the shadow of death”, then pounds chest and proclaims..* “For I am blessed. For I am chaste and without shame! For I now am guardian of the only flame.”
X,Y,”and Z” — “Ghost in the machine”
Cool look for Kelly & Jill Scott very nice also
