ALICIA KEYS: $50 MILLION DOLLAR WOMAN!

R&B singer-songwriter, pianist and actress Alicia Keys was recently confirmed as the face of Glaceau’s Vitamin Water brand in a deal reportedly worth $50 million to the star.

With this, Alicia, 27, will follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Aniston and rapper 50 Cent, who made $400 million from his deal with the company last year. The ‘No One’ singer said she decided to partner with the drinks company after finding she couldn’t stop drinking the unique-tasting beverages.

“I don’t partner with anybody, but this really was natural for me because I’ve been a fan from the beginning,” she said. “I love their personality. Have you ever read the bottles? Don’t you just feel naturally smarter when you read it?”

Meanwhile, Alicia also hit the headlines last week with the news of her collaboration with White Stripes frontman Jack White to record “Another Way to Die”, the theme song for the new James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace” due for release this November. This will be the first time a duet will be singing over the opening credit lines of a 007 film.

DID ALICIA KEYS MARRY THIS WEEKEND?

Word on the street is Alicia Keys married longtime partner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers Jr. on the 4th of July. Not sure if this is true yet, but last time we caught up with Mr. Brothers he mentioned he was going to be in the lab while Alicia went on tour?! Hmmmm…we’ll keep you updated!

JANET JACKED!

PageSix.com is reporting that Oprah Winfrey has taken control of the long-gestating Lena Horne biopic and has cast Alicia Keys in the title role.

“We’re going to start filming next year, and we’ve got Alicia,” Oprah reportedly told the New York Post column during an interview for her film “The Great Debaters.”

The announcement comes as a final blow for Janet Jackson, who for years has expressed interest in playing the legendary entertainer on screen, and was actually in serious consideration when the project was set up as a TV movie at ABC until ‘nipplegate’ a few years ago, and Lena and daughter jumped on the media bandwagon, asked Janet to be booted off the project. Where’s the unity?!
