Love it Or Hate It: Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys was spotted heading into the MTV Studios to tape a segment for It's On With Alexa Chung. She's wearing an interesting pair of boots. What do you think? They are very bold and could come in handy if you want to double check your makeup in the shiny side. LOL!
Alicia is going to be performing at the American Music Awards in November. Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Taylor Swift are just a few of the others that will be up on stage, as well. After the great show they each put on at the MTV Music Awards, I just might tune in for the AMA's. :)

Jay Z Says Lil' Mama Pulled A Kanye During The MTV Video Music Awards
While sitting down with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Jay-Z talked about how upset he was when Lil' Mama rushed the stage during his performance on the MTV VMA's earlier this month.
“I would never do that. I would never have the nerve to do that. We go to rehearsals, we do run-throughs, and we work really hard on the performance to put on a show for people. And to interrupt that moment for us, I don’t think that was the right thing to do.
I actually thought it was the equivalent of what Kanye did to Taylor Swift but nobody really talked about that because I’m not a lil sweet girl from middle America.”
“I’m cool with her being excited and all that, but you also have to understand people put in work to make that performance happen–the planning of it, there's a lot of planning that went into that performance. To disrupt that is out of line.”
“I was a little angry–but what imma do, fight Lil Mama?”
What do you think about what happened? Is it equivalent to what happened between Taylor Swift and Kanye West?

Gucci And Mary J. Blige Celebrate The Foundation For The Advancement Of Women Now
To benefit the Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now, Inc. (FFAWN), Gucci and Mary J. Blige celebrated September 16th as Gucci for FFAWN Day in New York. Gucci donated 10% percent of the day’s sales from its New York 5th Avenue Flagship store to FFAWN.
Gucci toasted the evening with a private in-store cocktail party co-hosted by Mary J. Blige with guests including Alicia Keys, Estelle, Devon Aoki, Leigh Lezark, Serena Williams, Mark Ronson, Donald Trump, Russell Simmons and Lebron James.
In honor of Gucci for FFAWN Day, Mary J. Blige hosted a lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building earlier in the day to light the world-famous icon in FFAWN’s colors—purple, yellow and white.
I always love to find out the meaning behind the Empire State Building's colors.

Angelina Jolie Dropped From Vanity Fair's Best Dressed List
This doesn't sound right for an actress whose fashion sense is admired enough that her stylist had designer dresses stolen the night before she was scheduled to try them on for a fitting! Yet, Vanity Fair has done it: they dropped Angelina Jolie off their annual Best Dressed List.
Brad Pitt made the list for the third consecutive year, although for the past two years he was listed in the "couples category" with Angelina.
Some people will make their debut on the list: Kelly Ripa, Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, and Alicia Keys are on it for the first time.
The list will be released in the September issue of Vanity Fair, which hits newsstands August 11.
Check out some of the outfits Angelina wore on the red carpet. Do you think she deserved to be dropped off the list altogether?
