Alicia Keys was playing at the Essence Music Festival on Saturday night and as you can see in the video she fell over on her ass while singing one of her songs. Insert your own joke here about her song Fallin’.
Normally I find it hilarious when celebrities fall but she is pregnant so maybe I shouldn’t be laughing, instead I will laugh at the person recording the video asking her friend if Alicia meant to fall – yes because falling down while pregnant is part of her tour.
I don’t get why the backing singers don’t even move, if I seen a pregnant woman falling down I would be doing some Spiderman shit to try catch her and make sure she and the baby are safe.
Alicia Keys took to the piano to perform her new song, “Empire State Of Mind” on “The Colbert Report” last night and to say that it was hilarious would be an understatement.
The funny part happens when Stephen comes out in his hoodie and raps the part that Jay-Z sings. He changed the lyrics and it’s just too funny.
Check out the video:
The lyrics:
Yeah, I love New York, it’s the king of all the cities
I lived up by the Guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki
Volvo to the dry-cleaners pickin’ up my khakis
Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air much better for my asthma
Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal
M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47
Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass
To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class
Stephen Colbert is awesome, I just love him to pieces. And Alicia Keys is just brilliant. This video is full of so much win.

Sparks, who is only 18 and about to start the biggest tour of her life, is suffering from “an acute vocal cord hemorrhage,” according to officials.
The reigning “American Idol” winner canceled a concert at Penn State scheduled for last night, an Earth Day show on the National Mall in Washington, DC set for today and – most importantly – the first night of the Alicia Keys tour where she is the opening act Saturday night.
“Because of the risk of permanent vocal cord damage, Sparks has been ordered to strict vocal rest and will not be able to perform anywhere until her condition improves,” said a spokesman for the arena at Penn State.
Sparks, her family and reps from her management team at 19 Entertainment could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday.
A medical Web site for the University of Pennsylvania described bleeding in the vocal cord as “a serious problem . . . caused when a person who has laryngitis uses their voice at the height of infection.
“Some severe cases may require laser microsurgery.”
The description of the problem as “acute” also indicates the injury may be severe.
That no one from her family or record label was returning calls yesterday to explain the extent of her problems did not help calm the fears of fans either.
Calls to “pray for Jordin” were all over the “Idol” sites yesterday.
The Playboy mansion must be experiencing some hard times. One of the members of the trio of girlfriends Hugh Hefner boasts is trying to reach out and touch someone. Kendra Wilkinson posted a rather cryptic message in her Myspace page.
words i need right now and u too!!!!!

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important, Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect, It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks, It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly, And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget where you’ve been, But also know where you’re going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored every step of the way.
Nothing like expressing yourself through Alicia Keys. Cheer up boo. You have an ass you can bounce quarters off of, you live in a mansion free of charge and full time servants who can bring you Colt 45 and Bagel Bites 24/7. Life can’t be that bad.
Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson — better known as Hugh Hefner‘s trio of blonde girlfriends from E!’s “The Girls Next Door‘ reality series — will appear for the third time on the cover of Playboy.
“It kinda happened by accident,” Hefner told The Associated Press. “It was not the original plan. I knew we were overdue for a cover featuring the girls. For our annual sexiest celebrities list, we always get votes from readers on the Internet of who should be on the top of the list. Lo and behold, as the votes were coming in, we found the girls moving up higher and higher on the list.”
Madison, Marquardt and Wilkinson will be featured together in three different covers for the “25 Sexiest Celebrities” issue. In the newsstand edition cover image, out Feb. 8, the women are clad in glittery lingerie in front of a starry backdrop.
“To be perfectly frank, I have unexpectedly fallen in love,” Hefner said of his ongoing relationship with the three women. “It is the relationship with Holly that will probably last forever. The others will last for as long as they want it to last before going on with their careers and lives.”
Among the celebrities to make Playboy’s list are Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alicia Keys, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Hefner said the top three online celebrity vote-getters were Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, with “The Girls Next Door” coming in fourth place.
“Yes, there was some favoritism involved,” Hefner joked. “I know them personally.”
