Alicia to put down the mic soon

Well the recent word that is going around the net is that singer/actress Alicia Keys has set her mind to retire from her music career not too far from now. To my understanding, she feels she is in a very comfortable state financially and emotionally. Keys also went further by saying that "I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures." I hope decision about retiring did not have anything to do with that scum known as 25+25 Cent. I don't believe it, she will probably pull a Jay-Z move in the long run even if she do retire. What do you think?

Can you imagine Alicia Keys getting photographs with a bunch of kids alongside her in the park or something? I can...Singtress Alicia Keys reveleaved in an interview with WENN while attenting a movie premiere not too long ago in New York City that she is not quite ready to being called 'mommy' yet but it's something worth considering. I’ve always loved kids. Kids are so important. It’s important to nurture and spend time with them and listen to them. I’m not ready to be a mom. But (adoption) is something that is important to consider. That’s what I really admire about Angelina. I think it’s beautiful the way she embraces children of the world.” And she insists she would like to create a family of different cultures, like Jolie: “We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think. So I possibly would (adopt), when I’m more in the motherhood stage of my life.

Alicia Keys Cover Blender Magazine

Eleven times grammy award winning singer Alicia Keys is gracing the latest cover of Blender magazine looking very F-A-B! From Reading a brief portion of the cover story "Alicia Keys unlocked" courtesy of blender.com. It really opened my eyes a little more on Key's music life and somewhat inner battles. Where she expressed her feelings toward the "lesbian" rumors circulating and so forth. Catch a glimpse below:
She built her first wall as an 11-year-old, to deal with the pimps and strip-club shills who’d catcall at her in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, as she shuttled between music lessons, ballet classes, school and the apartment she shared with her single mom. Keys took to camouflaging herself in cornrows, baggy jeans and Timberlands. “One hundred times a day, it was ‘come dance for me,’ ‘come work with me,’” Keys recalls.“ At 11! So my mentality was Protect yourself. And that took me right into the music game.” She kept the wall up (and the cornrows on) when, signed to a contract with Columbia Records at 16, she had to fend off the advances of music producers more interested in sex than music. “I was meeting all these people who just wanted to use me,” she says. “Or be with me.”

Quote of the day from Alicia Keys

I feel most beautiful when I’m not all glammed up, when I’m in my most natural state. Don’t get me wrong, I love having my hair and makeup done and wearing beautiful clothes, but I think it’s important for you to be able to appreciate yourself without all of the extras, how God made you
*applause*....*still applauding* I am very proud and not to mention ecstatic Alicia Keys response to usa magazine's 20 questions w/ alicia. The reason being, is seeing how young women,close friends and family members that truly rely on the outside to make them feel better on the inside. It kills me! When they don't even realize that yes make-up and hair matters, but they also look beautiful withouth it. It should not be a must at all...[Source:aliciakeysdaily]

Check out Alicia Keys behind the set of her upcoming movie- 'The Secret Life of Bees'. Upon several researches I have found out that this movie is based on the 2002 novel "Secret life of bees" written by Sue Monk Kidd. The character that Keys will be playing is named June Boatwright, the movie is set to be release in 2009 and it is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. After the cut, you can find a brief plot summary of this upcoming movie and a synopsis of the novel Synopsis from Novel:

Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life has been shaped around the blurred memory of the afternoon her mother was killed. When Lily's fierce-hearted black "stand-in-mother", Rosaleen, insults three of the deepest racists in town, Lily decides to spring them both free from jail. They escape to Tiburon, South Carolina -- a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters, Lily is introduced to their mesmerizing world of bees and honey, and the Black Madonna.
Plot Summary from Movie:
With pieces of her past all jumbled up in her head, young Lily Owens seizes an opportunity to leave behind her father and their South Carolina peach farm.

Alicia Keys Cover Giant&Passion Magazine

Check out miss Alicia Keys on the cover of Giant Magazine for the Dec21st/Jan. 2008 issue. Continue reading after the cut for an interview snippet with Giant Magazine, thanks to aliciakeys.net and more georgous shots from the inside of the cover. As you can see above, Alicia is also gracing the cover of Passion Mag
In a recent interview with Giant magazine, Alicia revealed that the talk show queen had advised her to maintain total secrecy about her relationships. When Keys was asked about her rumoured romance with her producer, she replied: "That's what they've been saying for a while now, but I don't usually address that question. Oprah told me never to tell - and I can't disobey Oprah!". However, Alicia did admit that she has found a perfect partner for herself. "I definitely found my partner. I know he is somebody who will always be special to me and that we're always going to be in each other's lives". She also owned up to her secretive nature during the initial stages of a relationship. "It's my nature to let them show me who they are first before I show them who I am. But once I'm in love with somebody, I'm the best girlfriend you could ever have," she said. Alicia said that her tendency to hold back had been emotionally draining at times, especially when she battled depression. "I was feeling so sad all the time, and I couldn't shake it," she says. "I started burying my feelings, and it got to a point where I couldn't even tell my family or my friends, 'I'm twisted,' or 'I'm exhausted,' or 'I'm so angry.' I became a master of putting up the wall so that I was unreadable," she said. [SOURCE]

Check out miss Alicia Keys gracing the Dec.3rd issue of Jet magazine. Inside the cover Keys mentions that "In a lot of ways I guess it’s my transition into womanhood. All the songs have something to say about the things I’ve experienced" Read more after the cut and make sure to cop that!
Alicia Evolves Alot can happen over six years. For singer Alicia Keys, she grew up. She has swapped the trademarkcornrows and sneakers she proudly wore when she first hit the music scene in 2001 for the flowing dresses and stiletto heels that mark a sophisticated 26-year-old. Still, some things — her powerful voice and innate talent — remain consistent and have even gotten better. Her recently released CD As I Am is proof of that. “In a lot of ways I guess it’s my transition into womanhood. All the songs have something to say about the things I’ve experienced,” Keys tells JET of her third studio release. “It’s special because I’ve grown as a writer, producer and arranger. Every way that I could have possibly grown, I have.”Read more in the December 3 issue. On newsstands now.
