Alicia Keys went on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and chit-chatted with host Robin Roberts about the 10th Anniversary of her debut solo album “Songs In A Minor.”

The photos were taken early on in her pregnancy (not sure precisely when).

Alicia spoke about being photographed during her pregnancy saying, “I like to transform myself like a chameleon. The photos showing me pregnant seemed brave and strong to me, just how I feel at this time”

Rihanna closed out the show, performing several of her new hits, including “Hard,” “Rude Boy” and “Russian Roulette,” all from her latest disc, Rated-R. Old crowd favorites, including “Disturbia,” “SOS”, “Don’t Stop the Music” and “Umbrella” were also on the setlist.

Alicia Keys performed her set wearing a tight black top that made her rumored baby bump that much more visible. Keys is reportedly engaged to producer Swizz Beatz, but she has not yet confirmed or denied whether she is pregnant.

Boos could be heard when Justin Bieber was introduced at the festival. However, 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto defended Bieber by telling BBC, “He’s a young kid. He’ll be able to charm the crowd.”

Soon enough, Bieber’s hecklers were drowned out by screaming teenage fans.

Their civic duty to the independent film community involves being holed up in screening rooms and together choosing their favorite entries – with 12 narrative films and 12 documentaries competing for $100,000 in cash prizes.

The R&B beauties jetted to the slums of Rio de Janiero, Brazil in February to film a new music video for Put It In a Love Song, which they recorded for Key’s latest album The Element of Freedom last year.

Alicia Keys and Beyonce Knowles

Speaking about her Beyonce duet, Keys tells Rap-Up.com, “Expect it right after my Un-Thinkable video. It’s kind of nice that I have such a great video (with) such a great artist in the can. They’re going to be able to see the Un-Thinkable video first and then see Put It ina Love Song, but it probably won’t come until closer to this summer.”

Keys has ruled out inviting Drake to make a cameo in the clip when she shoots it later this month but hopes to collaborate with him again in the future: “He won’t be in the video. That’s too obvious. (But) he’s a great guy. I’m really proud of all the things he’s been able to achieve, and we’re most likely going to do some kind of remix for the song that’ll be really good. There’ll be more of me and Drake.”

Alicia Keys - Speaks during the Service Nation Summit in New York

The talented Ms Alicia Keys will be in the movie history books when she becomes one of the voices behind a new theme song for the forthcoming soundtrack to the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

Alicia will be singing with White Stripes frontman Jack White, on a track which will be called Another Way To Die – the first duet in Bond soundtrack history.

Alicia Keys has reportedly been tapped to sing the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie, “Quantum Of Solace.” According to reports, other hopefuls for the coveted gig included Amy Winehouse, Beyonce Knowles, and Leona Lewis.

The E! Network’s Marc Malkin is the reportedly the source of the news saying that an “insider” tipped him off. “I believe Alicia is the winner,” he said.

Although the info is being widely reported, the “powers that be” have yet to confirm the good news. According to reports, Alicia’s reps refuse to issue any comment and the movie’s spokesperson is quoted as saying that they still have “no info” on the theme song for the film.

The 27-year-old seemed most at home tucked behind a grand piano, the instrument that provided both her stage name and the backbone of hit ballads such as Fallin’ and You Don’t Know My Name.

Alicia Keys looked slightly awkward encroaching into Beyoncé’s thigh shaking realm. She was far better at the piano, alone and bluster free, performing Sure Looks Good To Me and her Prince cover, How Come You Don’t Call Me. When holding an epic high note and then milking the applause, the crowd was completely hers.

Her latest album, As I Am, sees her edging away from soul towards more mainstream ballads thanks to collaborations with Linda Perry, the woman who gave Pink and Christina Aguilera their biggest hits. Though Superwoman tried too hard for the Girl Power vote, The Thing About Love was a fine tune.
