So now we Know why Kelly Rowland looks like ICON Donna Summer!



So There’s a Reason we’ve seen Kelly Rowland looking like Donna Summer!
Kelly Rowland may be preparing to play the late disco-queen Donna Summer.
After unveiling the above image with a striking resemblance to the icon, many began speculating that the now pregnant singer could be the leading lady for the upcoming Spike Lee directed biopic, ‘Spinning Gold.’

According to The Root, “The biopic chronicles the life of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart, whose talents took him from being a poor kid from Brooklyn, N.Y., to launching the career of Summer, as well as those of Kiss, Joan Jett and the Village People. Pop singer Justin Timberlake will take on the role of Bogart.”
Rowland captioned the image with, “#tbt #DonnaSummer-ish #LovetoLoveYa”
Summer sadly passed in 2012 after secretly battling cancer.
Do you think Rowland is a dead shoe in to play Summer in the movie biopic?

Donna Summer's Daughters FIGHTING over her Will?!?

Disco Queen's Daughters Fighting Over Money
Donna Summer's daughters are fighting over their mother's estate...
Weeks after DONNA SUMMER’s untimely death, disco diva’s family battles over her $75 million fortune, say insiders.
Two of the singer’s three daughters– Mimi, 39, and Brooklyn, 31 – have turned family life into a “disco inferno” as they claw it out to see who gets the most money.
At the root of the problem are two different dads. Donna and singer/ songwriter Bruce Sudano, who tied the knot in 1980, are parents to daughters Brooklyn and Amanda, 28.
Donna previously had Mimi with her ex-husband, German actor Helmut Sommer.
“Donna was barely gone before Mimi and Brooklyn began battling over how much money they should get,” disclosed an insider.

“Mimi thinks she should get the most because she is first born, but Brooklyn made it clear that she and her sister Amanda should get more.
“Poor Bruce is still very upset over Donna’s passing, and the last thing he needs to deal with is the daughters fighting over the money – especially since Donna left it all to him,and he is being generous by agreeing to share it.
“Amanda is sweet and is sympathetic to Bruce. She keeps telling her sisters to stop being so greedy and give him space to grieve before making him go through all the finances.”

Hopefully they will all realize their family and distribute accordingly!
