THE FACTS
Alicia Keys talked to the Associated Press about her new Web venture.

THE SPIN


I guess if a bunch of bloggers on the internet were calling me a homewrecker and my man’s ex-wife was throwing shade my way for all to see I would be annoyed by the Web, too.

I’m all for positivity, though (minus my previous sentence), so if Alicia Keys wants to make folks smile, then go ahead.

But if I were here, I’d ban Mashonda for the forums.

THE FACTS
Usher’s rumored girlfriend reportedly fired from her job at Def Jam.

THE SPIN
What do Usher and Alicia Keys have in common?

They both seem to have a thing for messing with married people. Fortunately for Swizz Beats it doesn’t result in a firing – just an angry soon-to-be-ex-wife.

For Def Jam exec Grace Miguel, though, her extracurricular activities are rumored to have her now needing to file for unemployment.

Via The YBF:

“Things just got real with Usher’s budding relationship with Def Jam exec Grace Miguel.  Our extremely reliable source who works at Def Jam tells us that L.A. Reid forced Grace to resign last week.  And yes, it was mainly-if not all– because of the bad press they’ve been getting after her relationship with Usher was made public. Womp womp.

Oh, but it gets better.  Said source confirmed for us that Usher not only cheated on soon to be ex-wife Tameka [Raymond] with Grace, who is 12 years his senior…but Grace was indeed married at the time as well.  She filed for divorce conveniently around the same time Usher did.  Tameka was also married and “filing for divorce” around the same time she and Usher got together.  Now that’s karma for that ass.  But for who exactly?  It’s actually seeming like Déjà Vu…”

What is it with this dude’s obsession with married older women?

THE FACTS
While being interviewed by the Today Show, Alicia Keys addressed Lil’ Mama hopping on the stage during her performance with Jay-Z at the MTV Video Music Awards.

THE SPIN

Alicia Keys seems to have randomly appeared in connection with the promotion of her new single, “Doesn’t Mean Anything,” which premiered yesterday.

But no way were the co-hosts going to let her not talk about Lil’ Mama.

On Lil’ Mama saying she was overwhelmed by the Hovi ghost and that led to her jumping on stage, Alicia said: “We can appreciate her being overwhelmed and inspired but we would’ve preferred she did it from her seat.”
