If my memory isn’t failing me, I do believe that Alicia Keys appeared in a Proactiv infomercial in 2004. So that’s why I’m so shocked to see these mini volcanoes on her otherwise beautiful mug! AK was photographed out and about in Beverly Hills doing a little shopping yesterday displaying her highly reactive face that a little of the Proactiv she advertised would most certainly clean right up!

Alica Keys needs to practice what she preaches and checkout The Proactiv Solution 3- Piece System below that retails 39.95! To buy click HERE!

Carrie Underwood & Alicia Keys from the looks of it both gave performances to remember last night at Conde Nast Media Group’s 4th Annual Fashion Rocks At NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. Checkout Carrie with the guitar and Alicia rocking those out-of-this-world f@#k me pumps! Hot tamale! Work it out girls!

The Good
Tyra Banks
That close-up could be in Vogue, that footwear is MAJOR! (She could have left the ostrich feather shoulderpads at home though)

Carrie Underwood
This girl’s face is flawless. She’s gotten really skinny since idol but it’s hot!

Nicole Richie
It looks like pregnancy has done Nicole Richie some good! She has that glow!


Mary J. Blige
Espionage never looked so good! I’m loving this look on Mary!

Ashlee Simpson
Damn she got skinny! Is she starting to look better than her sister.

The Bad
Jennifer Lopez
She just looks sleepy and that dress is really ill-fitting. J. Lo is not doing it well!

Alicia Keys
This one might not be all that bad, but it’s certainly not good. She went a little heavy on the eye makeup and that dress and hair make her head look big! I still love her though!

The Ugly
Carmen Elektra
There are no words necessary. This is just tragic!

Avril Lavigne
Ummm, Hell No!

Fergie
Sometimes I think Fergie gets a bad rap when people call her ugly…This isn’t one of those times

AK on being comfortable in her skin:

“I am less rigid and more open to different experiences now.”

AK on who she’s being dating:

“We have been dating for more than a year,” “It’s a good thing, because if we weren’t, who is really good out there to date? I think to myself, If I were not with my current friend, the options are not that good. I would have to date a banker or worker.”

AK on dating in the men in the entertainment business:

“No, I am not interested in guys in the industry. They are tainted,” “you sit back and wonder, how many women has this man slept with? And I don’t want to know. No, thanks, I will never be apart of anyone’s list.”

AK on her beau’s qualities:

“He is really brilliant. I need someone mental,” “He has great conversation, and I love that. I cannot stand conversing with someone and in a few minutes they run out of things to talk about.” “He very much allows me to be my own woman. I don’t like controlling guys. Most guys are so insecure and don’t know how to handle a woman who can make her own moves. He is self-driven and has his own dreams and goals. I love that about him. We can flow in a lot of different ways.”

A few of our love muffins weren’t feeling the new album cover for AK’s album, As I Am, as shown in our previous post. Take a look at a few other photos taken by the same photographer Randall Slavin. She looks gorgeous, although it’s hard to make out much of her features due to the darkness in the photos. At the same time, that’s what makes them haunting and beautiful. If you as an AK fan could’ve picked any of these photos for her cover, which would you choose?
