Alicia Keys took a morning stroll on the sandy beaches of Hawaii on Tuesday (January 31) with two of the most important men in her life, husband Swizz Beatz and 15-month-old son Egypt. The family getaway Alicia’s 31st birthday on February. 25.

I’m just exploded on the inside from all of Egypt’s adorableness. I promise this profile shot of Swizz had nothing to do with it.

Fans who purchased tickets to the Broadway show Stick Fly on Wednesday morning had the opportunity to meet and greet producer Alicia Keys and cast members from the new Lydia R. Diamond comedy inside the lobby of the Cort Theatre.

She’ll take your man, walk on water (you know, to show why you never stood a real chance with keeping him for the long haul in the first place) and provide the soundtrack to your evening. Temporarily relieving husband Swizz Beatz from his crowd control responsibilities Alicia Keys turned up a Big Apple party with some classic hip hop, spinning under the alias DJ AK 47.

Alicia Keys self-hosted eighth annual Black Ball in New York City last Thursday (Nov. 3) raised $3 million for the singer’s Keep A Child Alive charity.

Speaking to People magazine Keys expressed her high hopes for son Egypt to find a cause of his own one day to support. “For him to be able to see what happens in the world and be able to see different cultures and people and happenings — I think it opens your mind wide up,” says Keys.

“While I was [in Africa] shooting [a documentary for World AIDS Day], I was pregnant. It was so powerful being there . . . I thought to myself, ‘Wow, here he is experiencing this and he’s not even here yet,’” she recalls.

“I think as a compassionate person, which I really want to teach him to be, you naturally want to lend and be a part of change,” she continued. “I know that naturally he’ll find the thing that he’s passionate about and wants to change.”

Event planners responsible for organizing “The Mountaintop” Broadway opening night were unprepared to deal with the body count actress Cicely Tyson left on the red carpet after killing hoes on sight. Hope the county coroner had plenty of gurneys on hand.

Known survivors from the evening include Alicia Keys, Tisha Campbell-Martin, a wonky as hell Anna Maria Horsford, Star Jones, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Harry Belafonte, an irresistible Gabourey Sidibe and others pictured in the gallery below.

What was Martin Luther King Jr.’s final night on Earth like in Room 306 of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis? Katori Hall offers a dramatic response to that question with her irreverent fantasy “The Mountaintop,” which opened Thursday night at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.

She depicts events of that fateful date as a soul-stirring and eye-opening hoot, thanks to Camae (Angela Bassett), a sassy chambermaid with whom King (Samuel L. Jackson) shares Pall Malls, a pillow fight (no joke) and pictures of his place in history.

The drama was seen in another production in 2009 in London, where it won an Olivier Award. It marks the Broadway debut of 30-year-old Hall, who grew up in Memphis. (source)

I’m only making this statement because I’m being put out there as a liar and I am very embarrassed. I would like to confirm that the rumor about Swizz Beatz cheating on Mashonda with me is absolutely true. I would also like to confirm that the rumors about Swizz “sexting” me, even in his present marriage, are absolutely true. I am also confirming that I lost my cell phone and someone else posted all the stuff that you see on the internet.

I’ve known Kasseem since 2007. We met at Solange Knowles’ (whom I do not associate with) birthday party in Houston, TX. A gentleman from Kasseem’s entourage approached me and said that someone wanted to talk to me. After I asked who it was, he pointed at Kasseem. I knew he was “Swizz Beatz”, but I did not know anything else about him. I gave him my phone number and he called me right away and invited me to eat at Katz’ Deli on Montrose Blvd. The next morning, he invited me to accompany him at Radio One (979 The Box) for his interview. Afterwards, we went back to his hotel room but we DID NOT HAVE SEX. A couple of hours later, he had to leave so he could catch his flight. He hugged and kissed me in public as if he were a single man.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks later. He invited me out to Miami with him and I gladly accepted. I met him in Dallas and we flew to Miami together. My last minute ticket placed me in coach and his ticket placed him in first class, but he switched his first class seat with the guy sitting next to me so he could sit next to me. In Miami, we stayed at his friends beautiful home. This is where we became sexually active and this is where I found out he was married. He snuck me through the house and it was all odd to me until I found a gift with Mashonda & Kasseem’s name on it. I asked him later on why he was cheating on her and he basically said she wasn’t being the wife he needed. He also said that if she asked if he was cheating, he would not lie to her, but he wouldn’t come right out and tell her.

After that trip, he invited me to meet him in Philly. I was picked up from the airport and taken to a club where he was performing at. Him and his crew jumped in the truck and we drove to VA from there. In VA, we got on a tour bus and drove to multiple destinations. After that, I flew back to Miami, he got sick and I got stranded in the Miami airport overnight. I flew back home to Houston the next day.

Later that week, he went on an overseas trip with Mashonda. I received a call from him saying “My wife is about to call you. Tell her nothing happened.” When Mashonda called me, this is exactly what I did. He did not contact me after that. They got a divorce and although we stayed in contact afterwards, there was nothing too drastic. I’m guessing this is when he was dating Alicia. Recently, we’ve been contacting each other (as you’ve all seen), but I haven’t physically seen him. We were making plans to, but I had to work and I wasn’t going to take off work to go see him. I live on my own, I have responsibilities and I strongly believe that if you are not contributing to those responsibilities, there is no reason for me to neglect them to entertain you. I am a very independent individual and the people who know me will tell you that I would never hold my hand out and ask for anything and if I do, I have a very hard time doing it.

Even though Swizz offered and offered and offered to buy me things, the only thing I accepted was plane tickets to go see him. He’s a wonderful man and I had a great time with him as well as a great relationship. Of course he’ll deny the whole thing and of course Alicia will stand up for her man. It’s understood.

PREVIOUSLY: Reactions To Rumors of Swizz Beatz Allegedly Cheating On Wife Alicia Keys

“Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Some things are just LAUGHABLE!!!!!! Now, Let’s Continue to SHINE!! Everything else is a waste of time!! Sending love!,” subliminally tweeted Alicia Keys earlier this afternoon in response to an online tabloid site posting damning evidence that suggests her husband of one-year Swizz Beatz was (or still is) sexing and sexting a young songwriter behind her back.

Check out what some of the people I follow on Twitter had  to say about Swizz’s alleged double dipping and a picture of the his sideline piece after the jump!

Swizz’s creep: Christina Elizabeth

Keeping son Egypt close to her heart with a pair of namesake gold earrings a visibly super chipper Alicia Keys was photographed walking with her assistant and later younger brother Cole in Soho on Wednesday looking thicker than cold grits. Alright, ma’am!

This post entry has nothing to do with the removal of her chickstache, silly.

The next time January Joy wants to deface property while venting her frustrations at Alicia Keys face-to-face she won’t have to travel far. The corn-fed healthy frame of Mrs. Swizz Beatz has been immortalized in wax by Madame Tussauds in correlation with the 10 year anniversary of her debut album, Songs in a Minor.

Yes, Alicia Keys: The Stud Years over everything.

The tale of two titties.

Just when Mashonda decided to return back to work after driving around Manhattan from the comfortable (and fuel efficient) confines of her Corsica for the better part of her lunch break, Alicia Keys vehemently denying driving the stake inside the heart of current husband Swizz Beatz’s first marriage got January Joy all fired up again. That Kaseem Dean sausage must rival Jimmy’s.

Moment of honesty or sheer act of publicity?

“We didn’t start seeing each other until months after they had separated. I was aware of all the false things that were being said about me, it definitely hurt. I was sure that if I engaged, it would become back-and-forth like some sick entertainment, which goes against everything I believe and would have made things worse.” (source)
