Kelly Rowland Had A Big Week, Too: Watch Her Play Celebrity Pickleball & Descend A Scary VR Mine
Beyoncé made some headlines this week. On Monday, Beyoncé was nominated for nine Grammys, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year. That brings Beyoncé’s total number of career Grammy nominations to 88 — tying her husband Jay-Z for the highest number of Grammy noms for anyone, ever. But Beyoncé wasn’t the only former member of Destiny’s Child out here making moves this week! Did Beyoncé play in a televised celebrity pickleball tournament with Dierks Bentley and Luis Guzmán? Did she appear on the Instagram talk show where Marlon Wayans forces his guests to do scary VR-headset things? No. No, she didn’t. Instead, that was all Kelly Rowland.
Tonight, CBS will air a Stephen Colbert-hosted celebrity pickleball tournament called Pickled. Kelly Rowland is one of the familiar faces playing America’s fastest-growing sport, and she looks like she’ll be a force to be reckoned with. In the Pickled trailer, Kelly absolutely hammers Tig Notaro in the back with a ball, which seems like the kind of thing that might come up in a future stand-up special. Here’s that preview.
Today, Kelly Rowland also appears in Oh Hell No, Marlon Wayans’ Facebook-sponsored online show. The hook of Oh Hell No is that Wayans gets celebs to confront their worst fears by strapping them into Metaverse goggles and putting them in nightmare scenarios. Kelly has claustrophobia, so Wayans sent her down a virtual mineshaft. Kelly had a bad time — penance, perhaps, for the Tig Notaro pickleball incident. Here’s her episode.
Pickled airs tonight at 9PM eastern on CBS.
