Alicia Keys appeared on the TODAY show yesterday and performed during their Summer concert series in New York.? Ms. Keys kicked off her performance with “Teenaged Love Affair” and ended with “No One.”? You can check out both performances after the cut…
I dunno why this video is so intriguing to me…but it is! Could it be because our elevator at work sux or because I always take the opportunity to adjust thangs in closed quarters? 😯 Whatever the reason, this video of a man trapped in an elevator for 40 hours is amazing! It shows in 2 minutes or less why I never want to be locked up….again. (that’s a story for another day!) The video was time lapsed and shows how anyone might act when unexpectedly trapped in 4X4 quarters. 40 hours, stuck in a small space, all alone…what would you do??
Kim Kardashian was spotted taking a leisurely stroll yesterday in Beverly Hills ~ sans the makeup and the glam on her way?to have lunch with a friend while texting up a storm on her two-way.? One person she wasn’t paging is Paris Hilton.? Word on the street is that Kim is still?a tad bit pissed at Paris’ comments about her Black Girl Booty?and she’s even gone as far as to block Paris’ freebies from the fashion circuit:
Reportedly, Kim scored some exclusive Ed Hardy gear on her Mexican getaway, and inked a deal that would prevent Hardy from giving any clothes to the hotel heiress.
An insider revealed, ?She called paparazzi and tipped them off and she?ll be wearing Ed Hardy clothes.? But she tried to get them to promise that they wouldn?t give any more clothes to Paris.? (Source)
Young Jeezy was performing at what looks like a high school…unfortunately his performance was cut short due to some dumbsters fighting in the audience. Increase the Peace PEOPLE! Besides the fight there’s not a whole lot going on in the video, but I just wanted to point out that Jeezy stayed on stage until security got the youngsters under control and even looked like he wanted to finish his set. A lotta hood-stars woulda took cover (*cough* Fiddy).
Also check the dude still tryna hawk his demo around 1:18 or so. He figured the cameras were still rollin so he should at least make the best of it 😕
One of my favorite former American?Idols, Jordin Sparks has been dropped (temporarily?) from the Alicia Keys Tour.? Reports are that “vocal problems” have caused Jordin to cancel all performances through the month of April.
”Jordin Sparks is on vocal rest and is expected to make a full and complete recovery,” according to a statement from 19/Jive Records. ”Sparks has been going nonstop over the past two years and now she’s going through the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice.” (Source)
