Alicia Keys Confuses “Wee” With “Wii” on ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’
9:53 AM on Mon Jan 25 2010 by Robbie Daw
The comedic TV appearances from Alicia Keys just keep on coming! She should've known she was in for it as she walked on the stage of BBC's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross and the house band coyly struck up Urban Cookie Collective's "The Key, The Secret." What followed was an exchange between host Ross and singer Keys that offered up some unintentionally hilarious gems, thanks in part to a few "lost in translation" moments.

Cute Kids of P.S.22 Cover “Empire State of Mind, Part II (Broken Down)”
2:36 PM on Mon Jan 18 2010 by Becky Bain
The cute kids at P.S.22 have done it again. After covering Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Tori Amos and, well, pretty much everyone whose ever had a song on the radio, the Staten Island elementary school students have tackled Alicia Keys' broken down version of "Empire State of Mind." They've retitled it "Empire State of Mind Pt. XXII," and they even added an age-appropriate rap part to honor Jay-Z. Consider this your daily dose of adorableness in one three minute video, which you can watch after the jump.

Alicia Keys Can Always Get A Job In Phone Sex If Singing Doesn’t Work Out
10:05 AM on Mon Jan 11 2010 by Becky Bain
Andy Samberg is probably the luckiest guy on TV. First he slithered up next to Beyoncé in nothing but a pair of tights, got to duet with Rihanna, and on this past Saturday's SNL, he made Alicia Keys say sweet, sexy nothings to him over the phone. Plus, the dorkier he dresses himself, the hotter the R&B stars get. Can't wait for Keri Hilson to eventually get on the show and be forced to straddle Samberg in a giant chicken suit. Til that happens, check out the sensual and seductive digital short "Booty Call" after the jump.

It appears there's further news to the fact that Susan Boyle racked up sales of over three million units of I Dreamed A Dream. While Boyle's debut has handily locked down the #1 position on Billboard's Top 200 Albums tally for the past weeks, this week's chart marks the first time the Top 5 positions have all been held by female solo artists, notes Paul Grein of Yahoo's Chart Watch music blog.

Since the release of I Dreamed A Dream over a month ago, silver-tongued song vixen Susan Boyle has held steady in her perch atop the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and warded off other high profile new releases from Alicia Keys, Chris Brown, Rihanna, R. Kelly and Adam Lambert.
And this week is no different, as the Scottish singer stays at #1 for a fifth week, forcing Mary J. Blige to debut at #2 with Stronger With Each Tear.

10:38 AM on Wed Dec 16 2009 by Becky Bain
Alicia Keys performed “Empire State of Mind, Pt. II (Broken Down)” on The Colbert Report last night to promote just-released album The Element of Freedom. And Alicia had a very special guest rapper accompany her on the song—no, not Jay-Z. Someone even better.
Stephen Colbert threw on a hoodie and performed an original rap interlude about living next to the Guggenheim Museum before moving to Connecticut and having a 60-inch plasma TV. Hilarious clip (made even funnier by a super-professional Alicia somehow managing to not crack up) after the jump: More »
