The Voice Kelly’s cash grab, plus Seal and Boy George’s feud

The Voice star is feeling the pressure of acting as the family breadwinner

If there’s one thing we didn’t think we would see Kelly Rowland – or any bona fide celebrity, for that matter – trying to sell, it’s Band-aids.

But The Voice Australia star left her fans baffled last week by teaming up with the bandage brand in a bid to make some quick extra cash. Kelly explained the odd move by revealing she’s no longer fussy about the jobs she takes since becoming a mum.

“When it comes to now, career definitely takes the lead because I have a mouth to feed,” says Kelly, who shares son Titan, two, with her husband and manager Tim Witherspoon.

“I want to make sure [Titan] is satisfied and well taken care of... that he has an even better situation, with his growing up and surroundings, than what I had when I was a kid.”

This isn’t the first time Kelly’s put her famous face and name to a surprising product since her glory days as a member of hit girl group Destiny’s Child.

Her impressive portfolio of endorsements includes allergy medication, phones, watches, laundry detergent, hair dye, alcopops and even milk, which saw the usually glamorous singer sport a creamy moustache for a US advertising campaign.

Over the past year, canny Kelly’s joined forces with American rice brand Uncle Ben’s to help kick off a $300,000 cooking competition,

and also announced the release of her own makeup line, though it’s yet to come to fruition.

Her first book Whoa, Baby! is officially a bestseller on Amazon, and she’s been making the most of her time on The Voice with Delta Goodrem, Seal and Boy George by plugging several companies on social media.

“I love getting goodies! I’m getting spoiled in the Oz!” Kelly captioned one happy snap of an expensive-looking handbag.

“Thank you @lorraineschwartz for my beautiful birthday adornments!” she wrote while flaunting some new fancy jewellery in another photo.

But maintaining a constant cash flow isn’t the only thing weighing heavily on Kelly’s mind, despite her consistent efforts to put on a brave face and appear upbeat for the television cameras.

As well as opening up about her self-confidence issues ssues and body insecurities to the he Sydney Morning Herald last month, Kelly has now admitted that hat she’s still struggling to dealal with the unexpected loss of herer mother Doris, who passed away way at the age of 66 in 2014.

In an interview with h Peter Stefanovic for 60 Minutes utes last week, Kelly broke down wn as she hinted her relationship ip with her mum wasn’t at its best at the time of her passing – somethingomething that will haunt Kelly forever.orever.

When Peter asked thehe star about the last thingng she said to her motherr before she died, she tearfullyearfully replied, “That’s a toughh question. It’s one of my greatest regrets. It’s something I’ll carry to my grave… or eventuallyually talk about, but I’m not readydy now.”
