Kelly Rowland Signs Sims 2 Virgin UK

Flickerazzi: Kelly Rowland Signs Copies of Sims 2: Castaway

Kelly Rowland was at Virgin Megastore UK this afternoon, signing copies of Sims 2: Castaway. If you’re anything like me, you’re wondering, is she in the game, does she have a song in one of the menus, did she do voice over work.. Why would anyone interested in the Sims want Kelly Rowland’s signature on their video game box?

Well, according to Miss Kelly she’s a huge fan of the Sims, Electronic Arts (the makers of the game) found this out and EA has been pushing her as their secret celebrity fan.

Given that she also performed at an EA sponsored concert on Thursday, you’d have every right to believe she’s just a frontin’ fan to cash a quick check. ‘True fans’ were asked to submit questions for an EA online interview going up in a week or so, one person said that exactly..
“How much does EA pay you so you would act as if you really like the Sims?”

EA’s Community and Support Manager answered .. “She really is a huge Sims fan.”

And guess who is claiming responsibility for putting her on to the game?

Amerie Loves the Sims and Kelly Rowland Too

This past June, Amerie told gaming site Kotaku, “I am addicted to The Sims. I live out a virtual life online. I think it’s seriously cool, but I guess it’s kind of dorky… I’ve got Kelly Rowland into it too, and now we hook up in the game. Beyonce tried to join us, but she wasn’t into it.”

Whether Kelly’s a fan or not isn’t a big deal.

I just found it funny that she was pimping product for no apparent reason.

And for her part, it does help to get her name out. Is that necessary? A comment from another Sims fan kind of puts her post Destinys Child career in perspective..

“It’s publicity. I mean, I hadn’t heard of her before, now I have.”
