She's one of R&B most recognizable musicians and now Alicia Keys has been immortalized in wax, thanks to Madame Tussaud's.
The 30-year-old singer's waxwork creation made its debut at the famed New York City museum earlier today (June 28).
After seeing her amazingly real-looking likeness, Alicia couldn't stop gushing, "I actually think it's really, really good! I was looking close up: It's like my eyebrows are for real, and it's like my eyes are for real, and the bone structure of my chin, like, 'Look, that's my chin! That's my jaw!'" she told MTV.
Keys added, "It's incredible. It's really incredible, and I think it's so cool to be a part of the New York City part of the exhibit. I was born and raised here, this is my home, so it's so perfect."

Giving her fans something wonderful to wake up to, Alicia Keys performed on ?Good Morning America? today (June 28) to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of her debut album Songs in A Minor.
The ?Fallin? songstress looked fabulous as she hammed it up for the cameras in Times Square, New York City, sporting a wispy green dress with beige strappy heels.
Alicia recently told press about her new project ?Stick Fly,? a play that she?s co-producing on Broadway.
She explained, "This is a story that everybody can relate to. I'm passionate about this play because it is so beautifully written and portrays Black America in a way that we don't often get to see in entertainment. I know it will touch all audiences, who will find a piece of themselves somewhere inside this house."
As for her new life as a mother, Keys mused, "I feel like I'm definitely more creative. I'm more thoughtful about my plans and the things that I do, so overall everything is like a hundred times better."

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz stepped out in London last night for the ?Keep A Child Alive? benefit which raises money to provide treatment and support to families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Completely noble cause, and I won?t knock it. I?m just here to talk about fashion, post-baby bodies and the fug dirt-bag-ness known as Swizz Beatz.
Alicia wore a ?custom Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci custom-made long bustier black gown? (ID credit: Red Carpet Fashions). From the front, I love it. I think Alicia looks elegant and prettier than I?ve seen her look in a while, despite the too-pink lipstick. From the back? yikes. That white panel, plus an ass flounce, plus the tacky belt? It?s too much.
Can I just say? I?m so happy that Alicia has stopped with the forehead jewelry. It was getting too much, and every time Bossip called her ?Cleopatra Keys? I thought ?yeah, right on.? But you know she?s still Cleopatra Keys in her mind. She named her baby Egypt, for the love of God.
As for Swizz and his deadbeat ass?he looks like hell. Alicia could do so much better, but whatever. She?s happy. I won?t harp on about it, especially when I think their shelf life is limited and I?ll probably be covering their divorce soon enough.

Alicia Keys is a homewrecker. It?s not a case of ?maybe this happened, or maybe it happened this way.? Nope. Swizz Beatz was married to Mashonda, and he was screwing around on Mashonda with multiple women including Alicia and his London baby mama Jahna Sebastian (Jahna was his third chronological baby mama, Alicia was the fourth chronological). Mashonda notably called Alicia out in an open letter posted online - and Mashonda called Alicia out when Mashonda and Swizz were still technically married. Mashonda?s story never changed - Alicia and Swizz were fooling around at first, and then Swizz dumped Mashonda for Alicia. It was all pretty sordid and gross, and I blame the mainstream white-focused media for not giving the story more attention. Because if Alicia had gotten even one-hundredth of the scrutiny Angelina Jolie had gotten, Alicia wouldn?t even be trying to sell this BS. As CB reported earlier, Alicia is the cover girl for the new issue of Essence (CB had some early excerpts here). In newly released interview excerpts, Alicia is trying to act like she?s the real victim here, and that she never did anything wrong:
Multiplatinum artist Alicia Keys has opened up about her scandalised love life for the new issue of Essence magazine in the US. After being branded a ‘home wrecker’ by some media and bloggers Alicia is maintaining that she did nothing wrong and that her husband, Swizz Beatz, was completely separated from his ex-wife before they got together.
‘We didn’t start seeing each other until months after they had separated,’ she said. ‘I was aware of all the false things that were being said about me it definitely hurt.?
Alicia married Swizz, real name Kasseem Dean, in July last year in Corsica while she was six months pregnant with his child. Swizz, a music producer, was previously married to the No Panties R&B singer Mashonda Tifrere, 33, whom he has a son with. The union between Alicia and Swizz exploded in the media when Tifrere posted a letter online saying that Alicia had ‘assisted in destroying a family,’ and did a series of ‘tell-all’ interviews.
Swizz and Tifrere’s divorce was finalised in May 2010 and Alicia and Swizz announced engagement less than a month later. Bloggers went wild, accusing Alicia of being a home-wrecker and calling her names. She remained tightlipped throughout the episode.
‘I was sure that if I engaged it would become back-and-forth like some sick entertainment, which goes against everything I believe and would have made things worse,’ said Alicia.
After months of aggravation Alicia remained silent but now, she says, she is finally at peace with Tifrere, who recently posted thanks for her ‘beautiful blended family’ and accepted Alicia as a ‘partner’ in caring for her son.
‘Things are really good now,’ said Alicia who also revealed that her love with Dean is ‘intoxicating and whole’.
Swizz has another child with British singer Jahna Sebastian, who was conceived while he was still married to Tifrere.
‘Kasseem is very present in his children’s lives. I wouldn’t be able to love him otherwise,’ said the 14-time Grammy winner. ‘We are doing what is best for the children.?
Often interview-shy Alicia also revealed that she has being living by advice from Oprah Winfrey for many years: ‘She whispered in my ear and said “Keep some of you for you”,’ she recalled.
The musician, actress and mother launched her first album, Songs in A Minor, ten years ago - it sold twelve million copies. Her son with Swizz, Egypt, was born in October. He is named after the African country because Alicia took a trip there to release the pressure and stress of her success.
[From The Mail]
I?m surprised she acknowledged Jahna and Swizz?s daughter, however briefly. Word around town is that Alicia has actually gone with Swizz to London to spend time with the baby, and God knows, Alicia is the one probably paying the child support payments (unless Swizz is still deadbeating, like he was before he married Alicia).
As for Alicia?s ?pity poor me? routine - ugh, bitch please. I?m not a member of the card-carrying Homewrecker Patrol, but don?t play this crap for sympathy, and don?t blatantly lie. Alicia has bad taste in men, and she made a series of major decisions that people have every right to be critical of.

Alicia Keys is on the cover of Essence Magazine next month, and she looks so pretty with understated hair and makeup and her hair slicked back. Alicia is of course married to music producer Swizz Beatz, who unceremoniously dumped his then-wife for Alicia back when they first started cheating together. (Read this article for background on that, Swizz’s ex wife described how she was still sleeping with him, how they had an eight month old daughter, and how Alicia and Swizz were carrying on behind her back for months together.) Swizz and Alicia have a seven month old son, Egypt. Swizz also has another child with the woman he was with before his last wife, and he has an illegitimate baby daughter with a young British singer, whom he refuses to support in any way. Plus, he owes millions in back taxes. A real winner of a guy to have kids with. But according to Swizz’s wife and fourth baby mama Alicia, everything is going so great that she can relax and feel open. Good for her I guess.
On love: “Falling in love is such a force, but this is a whole other level of magic…”
On music, marriage and motherhood: “I was very closed for a long time. But I feel so open now. To feel open like this means you’ve found the center in yourself. You’re not hiding; you’re not worried about anything. Everything’s going to be just fine.”
On dedicating a song to her mom: “In the past, I’ve written mostly from my own perspective. But I just wrote a song for my next album that was inspired by a conversation I had with a man who was expressing how indebted he feels to God. He said, ‘I owe God.’ Now, what an interesting thought. And as much as I believe in God, for me that translated into how much I owe my mother for who I am. So I went home and I wrote I Owe You. It’s dedicated to her?”

I really love what she said about dedicating that song to her mother. It’s a nice message ahead of Mother’s Day - which reminds me that I have some gift shopping to do before Sunday!
That said, Alicia has told both Swizz’s ex wife’s son and his daughter with that singer to call her “umi,” which means mom in Arabic. (This is according to Swizz’s ex wife.) So I don’t have much regard for Alicia. She’s pretty much pulling a LeAnn Rimes without tweeting about it incessantly. Now Alicia has let her guard down with a guy who cheats and gets other women pregnant regularly. It’s just a matter of time before it happens to her, because men like that do not change.

Making the most of the warming weather, Alicia Keys was spotted out in New York City with her son Egypt Daoude Dean over the weekend.
Joined by her husband Swizz Beatz, the ?Fallin? songstress played the doting mommy by holding her baby boy close while strolling down the street.
Alicia collaborated with Jennifer Hudson on Hudson?s new album I Remember Me. And Jennifer told press that she had a blast working with Keys.
?I think that's part of the reason why I had such a good time in the studio with Alicia in our sessions is because I'm around people who are music and they are the music of our generation and music that I've always admired and somebody that I've always looked up to so I almost can't find the words to express to you what it meant to me to hear Alicia say, ?Oh my god.??
?I remember we were recording 'Everybody Needs Love,' and when I did the note at the end and she was just sitting there like, ?Oh my god, wow how did you do that?? It's like, ?Alicia Keys is tripping out over me singing?? So that meant that much more to me because it was coming from her. And then seeing myself through her like, ?wow, so I can do what she's doing one day. Maybe someday I'll be producing that next artist.? So I was able to learn from her even in the process of creating my album.?
