Alicia and the whole cast of The Secret Life of Bees will be appearing on Oprah on October 2, 2008. Alicia will also be appearing on the Today Show and Live With Regis and Kelly on October 6. On October 8, she will be on the Conan O’Brien Show.

Alicia starts in a new commercial “Vote For Change” where she urges to vote on November 4th. Click here to watch the video.

Keys insisted that she would have “loved” to record with the troubled star. The ‘Back to Black’ hitmaker was running for the official theme song of new Bond instalment ‘Quantum of Solace’, but the job eventually went to Keys and White Stripes frontman Jack White.

Winehouse, on the other hand, was pretty enraged and mocked the bosses for opting for a “clean-cut and boring” line-up. However, Keys has stated that Winehouse should have been allowed to record the theme song. ”I would have loved for her to do it - it would have been awesome. All three of us should do it.” Contactmusic quoted Keys, as saying.

Alicia Keys has found a new way to give up her favourite unhealthy food - eat the snacks on film sets.
The R&B star has given up corn fritters after eating them in character for take after take while making The Secret Life of Bees in North Carolina.
She explains, “We had these great chefs from the local area, who had their own store and restaurant, Two Moms. “I ate those corn fritters, and the sweet potato pie and the corn bread and everything else that was on those plates. The corn fritters I had to eat a lot of times in one scene so I now don’t like them anymore.”
Keys admits she learned that there are rules to eating in movies: “If you actually eat and swallow once, you have to keep eating and swallowing to keep the scene looking the same. “If you speak the line and you’re actually chewing, you can’t speak the line again and not have that food in your mouth. After corn fritter 75 or so, I did start to spit them out. That was enough.”

Alicia and Jack White’s song “Another Way To Die” for the new James Bond movie has been played on the radio and we have a little snippit of it for you to hear. Click here to listen to it.

Alicia Keys ranks among the most successful female R&B artists today, but also deservedly stands apart thanks to the versatility and unique character she brings to her material. The 27-year-old New York native dished out a rich evening of soul Friday at theFoxwoods Resort Casino’s MGM Grand Theater in Mashantucket, a show that highlighted her chops as a singer and the musical range with which she backs them up.

Backed by a seven-piece band and three singers, the 11-time Grammy winner dove into a lineup of stout grooves the likes of her opener, “Go Ahead,” and worked out the funk-lined tune’s lyrics with a precision that was cool but never cold. Her singing was lean and economical, a sweet sparrow song in a musical landscape that more typically favors showy squawks, as she immersed herself in the grabby flow of “You Don’t Know My Name.” (more…)
