Eleven-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys launched one of the first text message donation campaigns in the U.S. to benefit Keep A Child Alive.

By text messaging the word ‘ALIVE’ to shortcode 90999, thousands of fans donated on the spot to Keep A Child Alive, helping support the organization’s crucial efforts in communities affected by AIDS in Africa.

Congratulations to Alicia for winning the BET award for Best Female R&B!
Miss Keys performed at the show her latest single “Teenage Love Affair”, she also invited onstage her favourite girl groups SWV, En Vogue and TLC one by one to sing with her a medley of their popular songs (”Weak” , “Hold On”, “Waterfalls”).

“This performance was surreal,” SWV’s Leanne Lyons said backstage. “When we got the call that Alicia Keys was one of our biggest fans and that she wanted one of her favorite groups from the ’90s to perform with her, it humbled us. She shared the stage. She’s not ego tripping.”

*Music producer Swizz Beatz sat down with MTV News to discuss rumors that an affair with R&B superstar Alicia Keys broke up his marriage to R&B singer Mashonda. Swizz says the only “affair” having to do with Keys was the “Teenage Love Affair” remix he produced featuring LL Cool J. Reports of anything more salacious with the singer – as suggested in stories posted on MediaTakeOut.com and in the pages of Hip Hop Weekly – are simply not true.

“That sh** just looks like drama,” he told MTV of the media outlets. “They got another big name involved. No, I’m not doing [any] f***ing interviews. Only thing I’m commenting on is music-related. I don’t comment on my personal life. Why start now? You start commenting on that sh**, then they start twisting it out. I’m not gonna speak about nothing. They [gave Mashonda] two pages in Hip Hop Weekly. She didn’t even say nothing about Alicia. They blew it up on MediaTakeout.com. They flipped that into some other sh**. (more…)

“No One” does it like Alicia Keys — and now the superstar songstress is heading to the classroom on an eco-friendly mission! Keys teamed up with Lexus and visited Frederick A. Douglass High School in New Orleans to honor the school’s environmental program, “Keys to Innovation” — and the star-struck students got a private performance they’d never forget! You can watch the video here.

Alicia has been nominated for a Much Music Video Award in the category of Best International Video for “No One”. Congratulations Alicia. The awards are June 15.

The hard work of members of the Cimarron-Memorial High School Earth Club to encourage recycling at their school and throughout the school district was recently rewarded when the club received a $2,000 donation through “Keys to Innovation,” a program supported by Lexus and Grammy award-winning singer Alicia Keys that honors schools for their environmental programs.

The school is now up against nine others for a $10,000 national award. In addition to the donation, the students received tickets to Keys’ concert May 9 at the MGM Grand Garden arena. Club members and their adviser, Jennifer Newman-Cornell, attended the sound check, visited the VIP lounge and had a meet-and-greet with Keys before she performed.

“The concert was amazing,” says senior Ria Daniels, the club’s vice president. “Alicia was so nice and told us to keep up the good work.”

During a phone-in press conference yesterday to discuss her As I Am tour, Alicia Keys talked about her favorite hair style, her love of Juicy sweatpants and her desire to collaborate with the White Stripes. “They’re very raw, very cut and dry. It’s like drums and guitar,” she said. “It’s that simple, and I love that.” (more…)
