May 12th, 2012 | Posted by in INTERVIEWSAlicia Keys Phoned ‘The Voice’s’ Jermaine Paul On Stage!
May 12th, 2012 | Posted by in NEWS
‘The Voice’ winner Jermaine Paul received a phone call whilst he was still standing on the stage on Tuesday night (May 8, 2012) from none other than R&B star Alicia Keys.
The first to congratulate the elated winner, Alicia was “screaming with excitement” down the phone while confetti fell around him according to Jermaine. “She told me she’s been watching me and supporting me the whole time”, he said. “She was saying how proud of me she was.” Jermaine, who was once a back-up singer for Alicia, won the top prize of $100,000 plus a Universal record deal after singing a rendition of R Kelly’s ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ for his final solo performance on Monday night.
Despite the partial sleep deprivation, and non-stop talk show appearances and TV interviews, the 33-year-old husband and father of four Jermaine feels he can’t complain. “I’m loving every bit of it”, he admitted on Wednesday night. “I’ve been dreaming about a moment like this my whole life. Former Monroe-Woodbury High School basketball star, choir director and youth pastor, he’s always struggled to find his way into the spotlight. “I’m so excited about the future and getting in the studio and creating this album.”

Alicia Keys’ Smile: Get Your Teeth Gradually Whiter
May 5th, 2012 | Posted by in NEWS
It’s difficult not to take note of Alicia Keys’ affectionate, warm smile. The Grammy award winning singer, songwriter is seen most times captivating fans with her wide, gleaming smile whether performing before substantial crowds or hand-in-hand with husband music producer Swizz Beatz.
The talented piano player’s teeth are as aligned as the keys she stroke, but more importantly her teeth are impeccably white. Not the unbelievable white-turning-blue office visit finish, but a whiteness that seems to be a byproduct of proper dental care and perhaps some nonabrasive whitening at-home techniques.
Having a white smile is just as important as dental hygiene because dingy teeth are a certifiable way to get others to become distracted. You want what you have to say to take precedence, not stained teeth. The mother-of-one along with America’s Next Top Model producer Tyra Banks, “There’s Something About Mary” actress Cameron Diaz, and mogul Queen Latifah, who recently agreed to headline a Lesbian And Gay Pride Festival all understand the importance of healthy, bright smiles.

March 27th, 2012 | Posted by in NEWS
Keys and her producer husband Swizz Beatz have listed their Crosby Street penthouse for $17.950 million only two years after the couple bought the place from funk/soul/rocker Lenny Kravitz for $12.5 million.Whether this is just apartment flipping, or whether the charismatic couple with a toddler son in tow is looking for another “Empire State of Mind” kind of dwelling remains to be seen.
But even in New York, where Keys penned an anthem about a city where “concrete jungle dreams are made of,” the light-soaked apartment was no ordinary celeb crib. With a floating staircase connecting 6,167 square feet of living space plus another 3,000-square feet of terraces, there’s plenty to covet — or envy — about this downtown dwelling. According to Sotheby’s International, which holds the listing, the apartment boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 powder rooms and an enormous state-of-the-art, windowed, gourmet eat-in kitchen with walk-in butlers pantry, and separate formal dining room that faces east and is encased in a glass solarium.
