While she's currently promoting her new album "As I Am," she'll be auditioning contestants through videos uploaded to her Myspace page. Contestants between the ages 21 and 30 are requested to submit a 30 second or longer video of an a capella version of Alicia Keys song. However, in order to qualify, the press release states that contestants mus possess a valid passport and must be physically fit and able to dance.

The deadline for submissions is May 5 and a winner will be selected around May 15. The lucky winner will get the opportunity to tour with her worldwide.

Wow, so get your videos ready. I wonder if Danny Noriega, one of the American Idol rejects, will submit one of his funny videos - he'd be perfect for her tour.

Alicia Keys will reportedly get married to her music producer boyfriend Kerry 'Krucial' Brothers in New York this summer. According to Star magazine, the lovebirds have booked Oheka Castle on Long Island for a wedding on July 4th.

Although they've never spoken about their relationship, they've been writing songs together for years and own the production company KrucialKeys and New York's Oven Recording Studios. Keys rep hasn't confirmed or denied the wedding plans.

Well, good for her. I wonder if she's hopeful that the gay rumors will stop after she gets hitched. It didn't seem to work for Whitney Houston though.

Alicia Keys Wears an AK-47 Pendant

Alicia Keys told Blender magazine that she recorded her most sexual song so far. She said:

"I'm discovering my sexual side. I recorded this song ... it's so sensual, it moves you."

Her manager even warned:

"We do not record songs like this!"

Alicia revealed an emotional breakdown she experienced after her fame grew quickly:

"I was hanging off the edge of a cliff. Something had to give, or I was gonna lose my mind."

Her manager described the result of her depression as "dark, weird" music.

Apparently, Alicia said she now wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead."

It's good to know she's not depressed now and has found her "sexual side" but wearing an AK-47 pendant around her neck is kind of bizarre. I guess this makes her tough.

Not sure why Beyoncé was bending forward like that,
maybe her back was hurting?

I was happy to see her later take that thing down.

Miley Cyrus tried to pose sexy, but looked a little uncomfortable.

Fergie made sure her boobs were on display.

Rihanna looked cute. Surprisngly, she didn't
wear something more revealing.

Alicia Keys Could've Been "Wild" Like a Stripper

Alicia Keys reportedly had to change her choice for a professional name because her mom didn't think the one she chose was appropriate. According to Us, Alicia was born as Alicia Augello-Cook and had a tough time coming up with a new name for the entertainment business. When Alicia resorted to using the dictionary, she came up with a last name of "wild." Apparently her mom didn't dig that name because,

"she said, 'It sounds like you're a stripper,'"

Alicia revealed to Newsweek.

She then ended up with Keys, explaining:

"It's like the piano keys. And it can open so many doors."

It's always interesting how entertainers come up with their professional name. I love the name Keys too, but it would've been more fun if she stuck with name "Wild" and had a sex tape leaked though.
