Rumors are circulating that former Destiny Child’s member Kelly Rowland is vying for the role of Donna Summer in the Spike Lee-directed film “Spinning Gold.” 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 posted an Instagram photo reminiscent of Summer’s 1970s look. Rowland captioned the photo: #tbt #DonnaSummer-ish #LovetoLoveYa.

What do you think ILOSM family? Kelly definitely has Donna Summer’s look down, but do you think she can play the part? Only time will tell, but let us know your thoughts on this in the meantime.

Things are going strong for Kelly, she has a new son- 8 month old Titan Jewell Weatherspoon, a fairly new husband- Tim Weatherspoon, and a now possibly a new lead role all in one year. You go Kelly! Good to see Ms. Rowland ain’t slowing up no time soon and if Spike Lee says the same, maybe we’ll see her on the big screen doing our beloved Donna Summer justice. Flip to the next page for a photo comparison on Donna and Kelly and let us know what you think.
