My girl A. Keys is takin' over! I love to hear about our artists on the come-up, especially if it's a SistaGirl like Alicia Keys.  The word is out about her new deal as spokesperson for Glaceau's Vitamin Water line.  She will be the new face, replacing her new ENEMY 50 Cent.  The deal valued at $25 MILLION DOLLARS places her in new ads and commercials for the product.

50 Cent was one of the first hip-hop artists to be down with Vitamin Water, reaping $400 million dollars when the company was bought by Coca-Cola.   50's beef with Alicia stems from her comments in a recent Blender magazine interview.  She made some statements about hip-hop and ya boy Fif said this:

"I don't like Alicia Keys no more [for] the same reason why I said I don't like Oprah Winfrey," I'm prejudiced. I don't like people who don't like me." Hmmm.

Mariah and her new Mama-in-Law, Patricia hug it out at her party at Six Flags in California.

Jay & Bey in Boston the other night.
