A. Keys Featured In “W” Magazine

In the June 2011 issue of “W” Magazine Alicia Keys reflects on her debut album “Songs In A Minor”.


“I just wanted to be who I was, which was like so many other girls I knew,” says Alicia Keys. “We grew up in the city, had a hard edge and obstacles to overcome, but we were still young and beautiful. I didn’t want to be all dressed up, all made up—I wanted to be myself, which hadn’t been done before.”

To commemorate Songs in A Minor’s 10th anniversary, Keys has assembled a deluxe edition featuring early demos, alternate takes, and live recordings from the era, including a classical medley and a sultry cover of “Light My Fire.” The package documents the five-year life of this landmark project, which covered most of the singer’s adolescence.

Sean Kingston in Critical Condition in Miami Hospital

Singer Sean Kingston is spending his Memorial Day weekend hooked up to a respirator in a Miami hospital intensive care unit.

According to TMZ and the Miami Herald, the 21-year-old reggae star was riding a jet ski with a female passenger around 6 pm Sunday when he slammed into a bridge support.

Lauren London Opens Up About Weezy

In a recent interview with Kathleen Cross for Skin Deep, actress Lauren London opened up about her past relationship with rapper Lil Wayne, their brief engagement, and her current relationship with his other baby mothers
What is the biggest misperception people have of you? What misperception bothers you most?

That my son is the result of some kind of one night stand or groupie encounter with his father. I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn’t belong to anybody but me.


Do you want to go on to the next question, or clear up the speculation now?

I met Dwayne when I was 15 years old. I’ve known him a very long time, and we were in a relationship that didn’t make it. We tried more than once to revive it, and we were engaged briefly years ago, but we eventually parted ways. People see the “Lil Wayne” persona and think they know who he really is. My son’s father is an intelligent, loving and lovable person who will always be a dear friend. That is all.


If you don’t mind another personal question, there is a lot of talk about how well the mothers of his children get along. What’s the real deal?

We are all good-hearted women who love our children and we want them to know each other. Real friendships have grown from that foundation and the result has been more love, less drama and less trauma for our kids.

Kelly Rowland’s Motivation Climbs To #1


Kelly Rowland has solidified at #1 on the top of the charts with her new single, “Motivation” featuring Lil Wayne. The song made it’s debut on the Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts 10 weeks ago and climbed it’s way to the top, giving Kelly her 2nd #1 (the first being “When Love Takes Over” which topped the Hot Dance Airplay & Dance Club Songs charts in 2009). Go Kelz!

Rico Love, who penned the song, recently revealed how excited he was to see Kelly back in the lead in an interview with Singersroom.com:

I’m excited for her because she deserves it. She’s a superstar. Sometimes you have to let people know how much of a star they are; you have to remind them how great they are because being in a situation where she was number two for so long and not in a bad way because that was her role, it’s kinda hard to step outside of that. So to be able to help her step outside of that and realize that she’s a leading lady and make her command her own presence in the studio and fighting with her and her fighting back and us just meeting in the middle and saying ‘this is what we’re going to do;’ we gonna make history. It’s exciting to see the numbers and I’m proud of her.”

Jim Jonsin, producer of the record, tells Rap Up:

I’m really happy that things are going well for her on this record. A real concern for us was to get that smash for her,” the hitmaker told Rap-Up.com. “She’s a friend of ours as well, so to see her win is huge.”

Well deserved!

Kelly is currently working on a new album titled, “Here I Am” that will be released later this year and she will also join Simon Cowell as a judge on the UK’s “X-Factor”. Big things poppin!

Meagan Good Talks Being Single By Choice

She recently sat down with Monica Cost and chatted about being single by choice, what she looks for in a man and learning to compromise in relationships.

Monica: Are you single by choice?

Meagan: Yes I’m single by choice. God is my lover until he sends me my husband.

Monica: What are some of the important lessons you’ve learned through dating in the past?

Meagan: I learned that relationships should improve your quality of life, not compromise it. I learned to always keep God first. I have also learned that it’s okay to compromise, but not to compromise the essence of what makes you who you are.

Monica: What are your minimum expectations from a man?

Meagan: My minimum expectations are that: he love the Lord, they are kind to other people, they respect me as a person, they want to be my friend-partner and not just my man.

Monica: What is the best way a man can approach you?

Meagan: A man can approach me by just being honest and straight forward..games are exhausting.

Monica: Do you see any issues arising from the disproportionate number of men to women? If so, what?

Meagan: I haven’t really noticed, but I do think two people who are meant to be will find each other.

Monica: What elements do you think are important when looking for a man?

Meagan: I think the most important thing is they are spiritual (love the Lord)..being that way creates positive habits, outlooks, and actions in a person.
