Wedding, baby, album, now WAX FIGURE!
Alicia Keys Unveiled her wax (hourly glass) figure at Madame Tussauds today in New York City. Do you think this is a good clone of the songstress?
She only gave birth six weeks ago, but new mom Alicia Keys is already back and beautiful as usual.
The 29-year-old singer looked trim in a flattering black dress and matching black boots as she attended a special screening of new Javier Bardem film Biutiful, in New York last night.
Keys gave birth to her first child – a son Egypt Dean on October 14, by her husband Swizz Beatz.
‘There is no word to properly describe LOVE, to describe BLISS, to express a FEELING like this!!! Thank U 4 your love, support & prayers!
‘ she tweeted, two days after the birth.
Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga take charity work seriously, and they’re going offline to prove it.
Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Usher and other celebrities have joined a new campaign called Digital Life Sacrifice on behalf of Keys’ charity, Keep a Child Alive. The entertainers plan to sign off of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday, which is World AIDS Day. The participants will sign back on when the charity raises $1 million.
“It’s really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on,” Keys said in a phone interview from New York last week.
For the campaign — which also includes Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Janelle Monae and Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz — celebrities have filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins to represent what the campaign calls their digital deaths.
The campaign, she said, puts the disease in perspective.
The foundation, which began in 2003, will accept donations through text messages and bar-code technology, which is featured in the charity’s Buy Life campaign. Raised efforts support families affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.
“We’re trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we’re all from?” said Leigh Blake, the president and co-founder of Keep a Child Alive.
Keys said recruiting celebrities was difficult because of scheduling, but “once I got people on the phone and I was able to paint the concept for them, everybody was in.”
Not one person said no, Keys recalled.
New Mom Alicia Keys is gracing the pages of the November issue of Vogue Italia and she is looking absolutely stunning! Alicia Keys gave birth last month to her first child, Egypt, with husband Swizz Beatz, the photos were taken while she was still pregnant.
