According to a new report, Alicia Keys could be named as the other woman in the divorce of hip hop producer Swizz Beatz and R&B singer Mashonda. The soon-to-be former Mrs. Swizz apparently lost it when she heard about the birthday party that Alicia threw for Swizz at the Manhattan Louis Vuitton store last week. A friend of the producer told the media “His relationship with Alicia began after their separation. He hasn’t kept it a secret. He still has great love for Mashonda and has promised to take care of her and their son and support her career.” Mashonda says otherwise though. A friend says “Mashonda has had enough. She put her career on hold to be a wife and mother. She’s tired of pretending she’s deaf, dumb and blind to what’s going on. She can’t believe how disrespectful Alicia is being.”

The death of Ike Turner has got the music industry talking about the loss of another legend. But they also happen to talk about the late music legend’s ex-wife who, incidentally, is a music legend in her own right.Tina Turner’s rep issued a statement regarding the death of her former husband some time after his death was reported saying “Tina is aware that Ike passed away earlier today. She has not had any contact with him in 35 years. No further comment will be made.” It may sound harsh. But for those that don’t know, Ike was very abusive towards Tina. That should explain the coldness.

Good news is Amy Winehouse is still alive, she’s eating and she’s performing. Bad news is that she’s been in the same clothes for 3 days straight and she has that scary look in her eyes. You just know something’s about to go down! Dressed up in the same clothes for three days boozing and farting in the same dress means she would be stinking beyond recognition and then those drugs and inhaling some coke and other things would have made her go out of senses for those 3 days, I wonder where she slept these 3 days, might on the pavement of some dark unvisited roadside. This girl needs help urgently and not just a rehab centre but a specialist that can work some magic on her or she is doomed and she just following in the footsteps of Lindsay Lohan and some of the other peers who have taken to drugs as a swan would to water, now she’s got in to the water and doesn’t know the way out, time for an SMS (SAVE MY SOUL) message.

Rapper Eve plans to celebrate the removal of her alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet in style – with a cocktail. The hip-hop star was ordered to wear the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) last month after striking a plea agreement for her DUI arrest in April. Oh yeah, ankle bracelets or not she cannot live without drinking even for a single day, I am really astonished that how has she managed to survive this past one month. Celebrate, more than a celebration I think she cannot wait to get over drunk and fall flat on her face or get fully drunk and drive her car herself and ramp it into a pole on the roads. This is the best way these guys can think of showing how stupid and genuinely insane they can get with a glass of champagne. It’s the most common yet idiotic way of expressing that they enjoy life after getting high, when they are in their senses they are so stressed up with work and life related problems that they forget to smile.
