{blackbabes} Kelly un-Cowed

Although Kelly Rowland respects fellow "The X-Factor" judge Simon Cowell's blunt approach, she said she's not nervous about what Cowell will think of her new album, "Here I Am." She told us at her release party at Top of the Standard last week that Cowell "hasn't heard the record," but added: "I love the record, so if Simon loved it or not -- I love Simon, but I don't care." Rowland added that the "X-Factor" creator's opinions leave no gray area: "It's like, 'Oh my God, that was awful,' or 'That was really nice.' I like seeing him in his element. His work is awesome."
