R&B singer Kelly Rowland took her cutie pie 14-month-old son, Titan Jewell, to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. Titan’s daddy, Tim Witherspoon, also tagged along to help pick out the perfect pumpkin for Halloween.
In unrelated news, Rowland is petitioning Empire‘s producers to beef up her role on the soap opera musical.
Rowland plays Leah Walker, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard)’s mentally unstable mom who appears only in flashbacks on the show.
But Rowland wants to spread her wings and prove she’s a better actress than her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Beyonce Knowles-Carter.
Rowland may get her wish.
Empire showrunner Ilene Chaiken told Variety that Rowland’s character will be expanded in season 2.
Chaiken also said Leah Walker’s confusing background will be cleared up in due time.
“You learn a lot of things, and we reveal them slowly — it’s a very slow burn over the course of the season,” Chaiken told Variety.
She added; “Who is Lucious Lyon? How did he become the person he is? This is the story we’re telling with Kelly Rowland in the flashbacks. And the reveals will ultimately be very consequential.”
Leah’s story will continue to be told in flashbacks until the day she and her son meet again.
Unfortunately, the way viewers are tuning out by the millions, there may only be a handful of viewers left to watch the sad reunion take place.
Being MaryJane tonite!!!!!!
Yasss! Can’t wait.
Rolls eyes
Please no, she’s horrible!
That little guy is a cutie
How are they gonna do her make-up to make her look old enough to be Lucious mother at his current age?
Chile make up in 2015 ….. it can be done ……
I know, its just she’s already way younget than him. This I can’t wait to see.
Well, she is a better actress than Beyonce. Beyonce ruined every single movie she’s been in.
Adorable baby. I haven’t watched Empire in 2 weeks. I’m very pissed about this bs Jem movie that is nothing like my beloved childhood cartoon. I loved Jem so much I got my girls in to it via Neflix. That movie they made is utter trash and so far from the premise of the cartoon they shouldn’t even be calling it Jem.
Her son is a cutie patootie ?,I watched and still missed her on the show. I will have to catch up on demand?
I’d rather see Beyonce play the role than Kelly!
They gonna have her looking like Eddie and Martin in the movie Life.
Can’t wait to watch Gabby play herself again.
Omg I was so excited when I heard about a jem movie,??sucks that it’s not going be like the cartoon
I haven’t watched since the first episode…I’m so over men sucking on each other’s tongues. Ugh. Anyway, I saw the trailer for Gem and I’m pissed right along with you.
Its a Jem movie?
Empire is horrible this season. I stopped watching that hip hop minstrel musical. Kelly can do better
yaaaaaaasss!
Right!!!
Is his pappy supposed to be white on the show cause otherwise…
be careful what you wish for kelley…..those demons in the industry will beef up your role to include flashbacks of your character sucking different mens dicks, and all kinds of immoral shenanigans
My nephew is a light bright like Terrence Howard & he’s not biracial. Neither parent is light skinned either. Sometimes genes skip generations.
I’ve never seen being Mary Jane, never watched. Scandal, saw one 10 min episode of empire, when she walk out of jail, never seen walking. Dead, never watched, power, dont know chyt about the black is orange, never watch blackish, dont know what JEM is, SHOULD I GO CRAWL. BACK UNDER MY ROCK…….:(
..you know dem demons aint concerned about your talent…dey just wanna know if you’re willing to sell your soul
All that means is you have a life. Congrats!
DNA tests don’t lie. Maybe he should get one?
Glamour and Glitter fashion and fame ????
Yea I know I’m mad. One of my favorite cartoons. With all this new technology they could’ve EASILY followed the original story. They are basically retelling Hannah Montana with this movie. No Bueno.
awww, cute pics!
My mom is very light & my nephew looks like her. Now Sandra a dna test was done at birth before he signed any paper work. He’s ours.
…and WHY is terrance howard’s character as a little boy looking biracial???
mutherfcrks trying their best to influence black women to procreate with demons.
…actually they’ve successfully succeeded doing that in Dallas, TX…too many of the black women in Dallas are Bed wenches
That cutie is surely his father’s child.
uh-oh, this bout to turn into a edomite on the one extreme and color-struck on the other post….
You already know ?
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly….for the love of everything in the 21st Century, please take that lip liner off.
how long can she play a dead woman of a grown azz man???
Hey Butta…did you see Deante’s wifes pics?
Lee Daniels has the same complex as Tyler Perry, I guess. Biracial/light skin wins and damn everybody else.
wtf DO you watch?
IDC
Right!
If that baby don’t look juss like him daddy. As of right now, Empire is a sinking ship. Kelly better re-think that want.
Nah, Lee gonna have her svking on women.
BOL!!!
Yeah. She’s a little cutie.
I.CAN.NOT.WAIT.
What part of Dallas you live in. Most be north Dallas cause that ain’t happening in Pleasant Grove and Oak Cliff
Y’all gonna learn to stop discussing skin tone with Sandra
I’ve been contemplating getting rid of cable myself because I’m always busy & I need to cut some expenses ?
I was being nosey…she’s okay. LOL I KNOW you saw where she’d put a pic up of them….right around the time they were going thru it..and somebody posted that she needed to take that pic down. I was done.
I asked that same question about the little boy.
Lesson learned ?
Hahahaha….I used to kill the lip liner. You couldn’t tell me nothing! You already know it’s gonna come back in style…all it’s gonna take is Bey or Rih for the minions to start lining their lips. LOL
Did you read the post? She’s not dead.
Sorry, but I am no longer emotionally invested in this show. My Wednesdays belong to SVU.
She may be locked up in a mental ward somewherez. ::waves hello::
history channel and discovery and movies, sometime LMN…. dont shoot me
lol, thanks
Yep. She was being so messy when she uploaded that picture.
It’s a rose that ain’t let go of the liner… be careful for feelings get hurt and it’s stacked peeptoe scandal all over again lol
You and me both! My brown lip liner with my bon bon gloss. Chile, you couldn’t tell me that I wasn’t IT.
Do we know Lucious ain’t biracial?
Bwahahahaha! OTBey ain’t have to hurt my feelings about those stacked peeptoes, but just as she reached one, I must teach one.
Good for her. I root for Kelly I want her to win.
Do you own a TV? Or you just watch BBC all the time?
**hug**
jem is on Netflix?!?!?!
Nothing is wrong with you but broaden your horizon. Doesn’t hurt to check it out. I don”t watch half that stuff but I check it out just in case I may like it.
They pissed me off something horrible with Jem. Turned it into some tween love story. I’m hot bout that.
U might want to save the SVU episodes when nothing else is on tv but infomercials and you can’t sleep
No. No matter, her “son” is 15 years older than her
This about sums up.my feelings about this show…sorry buttttt..
Kelly is better at acting than Queen B….. However she shouldn’t play his mom now….. She needs to stay in the past if she is doing well at that. Kelly is cute and my favorite out of all them Destiny Child’s girls….but she can’t act to me….
I think the makeup artist will age her. I just hope her acting skills are up to par when she emerges from the flashbacks and starts speaking her lines.
If you can’t sleep, all you have to watch is On the Case With Paula Zahn. That woman’s voice will put you right to sleep.
This is her role of a lifetime! She plays it very well when she is silent starting into space wondering what Bey is doing??????
You gotta be sure to set the sleep time on your tv though. I’ve learned my lesson from falling asleep with Investigation Discovery playing in the background.
happy cordcutter over here…
We saw the preview of it & before seeing the title, I was telling my daughter, that’s Jem, I remember watching the cartoon & had the doll
Um……mam that gravi has destroyed my day ??
Same here! And I do not miss it either


I’m too busy as it is
SO I be lost in the sauce when folks start talmbout all the shows but ION care not one bit.
I learn about them shows from my Roses on here
Speaking of Netflix, even though we really wasn’t, is anyone else having issues with your’s ..mine won’t load on my Roku
Awww look at the babies
me too, I watch a lot of movies though…
Where’s Kdub?

(semi)Recap Needed
I was thinking the same damn thing. So dated.
That sheep is how my hair looks/feel today!
#notawolfthough :crying1:
Been on there for very long time (the cartoon) that is ….
You not missing nothing with Being Mary Jane … unless you into that kinda stuff ….
I only ask because while possible the odds aren’t high and Terrence is biracial. I don’t think it would be realistic for Kelly and another black man to have a kid that looked like Terrence.
Yes Blanche 6 loves it.
Girl but you gotta watch How to Get Away With Murder! That’s the show right there! #1 show on TV!
I’m here. Lurk working
I thought she was decent in Cadillac Records
Gimme sec
Saw a cute quiz on BuzzFeeddotcom called “You’ll Never Guess How Old These Age-Defying Celebs Are” and Gab was one of the celebrities. When someone asked why it featured only Black women, someone replied, “What white 57 year old do you know that defies age?” Someone said, “Ellen DeGeneres.” Now that I don’t know but she did for a time represent Cover Girl.
Lorkin
In other news…it’s taken me about half a yr to post cuz I couldn’t figure out (didn’t have time to) or my work pc wouldn’t let me in this daggone disqus! I missed you, Roses!
It’s upstairs
Thanks for the reminder, yippeee!
I cut the cord years ago & am happy with Roku and Amazon Fire Stick. I no longer sit through boring fake restaurant scenes of Real Housewives of Atlanta because I found a person who reviews it on YouTube complete with imitations of Kandi. I get other interesting tidbits here on SR & I’m good.
Whet? You don’t like big foots?
Yup
See that’s what’s bothering me…. Perhaps if it was a well pedicured foot I’d be like to each their own but that shyt right there I can’t tell if that foot belongs to a female,male, shim,sham, etc. ?
Yes because beyonce looks old enough to play a grown man’s mother.
hateful.
ROFL!
But if brothas are abandoning us for women who are building their bodies & faces to resemble our God-given features, who can we run to, to share our empty spaces? Who can we run to when we need love?
guess we just gotta stand here contemplating…
Hey Feline!
Haaaaaay!
It won’t matter. In real life Florida was about 20 years older than James, and James was about 10 years older than JJ. Weezy was 20 years older than George Jefferson. Laurence Fishburne is only 9 years older than Anthony Anderson but plays his dad on Black-ish.
Thanks for this comment, BBS!
Ellen defies age to who?!
OMFG u and me both, when they white-washed shana i was too fvcking thru! i said i won’t dare support it (granted i prolly wasn’t gonna go see it, but still i’m outraged how they couldn’t cast an african-american girl as shana as it was in the cartoon instead of some bi-racial or latina or whatever that chic is) . . .
they run it on cable too that’s how i started watching it again (on discovery’s family channel)
She is a better actress but empire might not have a season 3.
Maybe I’m too old or too young but what is Jem?
Really? Thanks!!
You wrong for that!! Lmao
……………….
empire has fell all the way off
That’s truly truly truly outrageous
Good for you Kelly. I am looking forward to seeing more of your acting style on Empire. So glad to see you’re standing strong and independent of beyonce
Oh please!
Too much gay stuff. It was bad to have the cast singing songs at awards shows. Jussie promoting gay rights all the time. The line between show and reality was too blurred. Also Lee Daniels needs to be waaay in the background.
I looks like a baby Omari Hardwick
Her son is adorbz.
That’s make up! Without it she looks tired , run down
yes!!! ?????? Lee Daniels is doin wayyyy too much!!! & its showing n the ratings!
Motivation………..
……………..
Kelly has one of the cutest babies in hollywood! He is just soo adorable. He would even have made a pretty girl! That little pout!
“soap opera musical”…i love the cynicism…lmbo
Kelly is supa talented, but watching Empire ain’t my thang.
You living life. You ain’t got time for the TV shenanigans!
You smart!
lol
what time, what channel, what night?
He is tooooooo cute!!!
Lmbo……. missy lv me alone, ya I own a T.V, I’m just not into t.v shows i did When i Was younger, I just don’t find no use for them, I know it’s just entertainment, But I just cant get into it like that
I’m not normal an I
chile I’ll try, I just don’t see nothing interesting about it, I think I was kipnap and the aliens had me…****shrugs****
10 pm, ABC, Thursday ?
I don’t even know what kinda stuff it is… is it bad or what?
LMFAO!!
I think so too.
????that’s cold! Sad but true. Black don’t crack. #teammelanin
yes, without makeup Ellen looks older than her momma
