Alicia Keys Covers Juicy Mag + What REALLY Happened With Her Beyonce Video?
Alicia Keys (real name Alicia Augello Cook) is “The Most Beautifullest!” cover girl for our October 2012 issue of Juicy Magazine. The issue also features interviews with Brandy, Big Sean, Eva Marcille, Laz Alonso, Amber Rose, B.o.B and Q Parker of 112. Speaking of Mrs. Keys, some Beyonce and Alicia fans were sad to learn that their collaborative 2010 collaborative song, ’Put it in a Love Song’, will never have a video released. In an interview with Essence magazine, Keys explained:
“Sometimes with creative things [it] all comes together and it’s [perfect], and sometimes things almost come together and it’s better to just leave it. We had a ball shooting the video. It just so happens that the whole thing, for some reason or another, didn’t quite come together, so we just decided to leave it.”
Hopefully the two will the stage together.
Chris Brown Tests Positive For Marijuana During Probation Hearing
After taking an ordered drug test in Virginia, Judge Patricia Schnegg in L.A. revealed that Chris Brown tested positive for marijuana. In order to keep with the terms of his 5-year-probationary period, illegal drugs like weed just aren't allowed.
The Judge told a silent Chris in court today:
"You are not an average person sitting in a living room. You are not only in the public eye, but you are on probation."
There was no repercussion given at the time of the hearing, but the Judge did order an additional hearing in November to review various probation records.
His ex, Rihanna, who was the victim of the night Chris received the assault charges for, tweeted words of support right before his hearing today saying:
"I'm praying for you and wishing u the best today!"
LOL..Me too!

SAD: DMX Tries to Use Google for the First Time
Most people would say that using a computer in this day and age is no big deal. Most homes have multiple computers, and phones now come with all the capabilities of a computer. Even children in elementary school are now using them but there are still people that are not completely familiar with computers and one of the is DMX. He recently stopped by Power 105.1 and after the interview he was asked google himself and watch what happens.
DMX even goes as far as saying that he doesn’t even want to know how to use a computer. When he was asked to look himself up on Google he also says he thinks computer words sound wierd.
“Computer words are funny. What the f–k is a ‘Google’? That dont even make sense”, he says.
Watch him here as he tries to Google himself:
SMH!
JUST AWFUL: The Brooklynette Dancers Reveal Their...Uniforms
Nope, this isn't merchandise up for sale for you to hit the club or the corner in. They're the new uniforms for the 20-person team of cheerleader/dancers for the Brooklyn Nets.
Jay-Z, who is partial owner of the team, had the responsibility of designing the new Nets logo. And the black and white themed arena and team colors have, of course, extended to the Brooklynettes.
Some folks think it's a glammed up refreshed look that will shake up NBA dance teams. But we don't know if that shake up is a good thing. The NY Post spoke to the designer, who says he loves a "pop star look", for an explanation:
“The uniforms are feminine and strong,” said the costumes’ designer, David Dalrymple, who has worked with fashion icon Patricia Field for decades, collaborating on costumes for “Sex and the City” and “The Devil Wears Prada.”
“This isn’t palm trees and sunshine. It’s New York City, and it’s Brooklyn. It’s a different sensibility. We go hard,” the designer said.
“They have a jumpsuit, a neoprene scuba blazer with sequin leggings, a little cropped warm-up jacket, and painted sequin leggings,” Dalrymple said.
All the looks feature the logos in black and white...with short skirts and pleather-like low cut material and multi-printed catsuits and all. And yes, the fingerless gloves, boots and latex are all a part of the look. Not sure how these chicks are about to dance in this, but I'm sure we'll see soon.
We have an eerie feeling HouseOfDamnIt'sWrong has something to do with this. But still...
DO WE LOVE IT?!
Fashion publicist MURDERS rich girlfriend after she tried to break up with him!
The former boyfriend of Sarah Coit, a beautiful, 23-year-old millionaire's daughter from Greenwich, Connecticut, has pleaded guilty to brutally murdering her for wanting to leave him.
Miss Coit was found face up in their Lower East Side, New York apartment, partially beheaded and with the blade of a knife still lodged in her skull. She had been sliced across the mouth and jaw with such force that the knife had snapped.
Her live-in boyfriend, Raul Barrera, 33, faces anywhere from 15 years to life in prison.
His guilty plea, saves the Coit family from enduring a murder trial which would have revealed the full gruesome details of the autopsy evidence and testimony.
His defense lawyer Paul Feinman told the New York Post: 'Going to trial, he figured, wasn't his best option.'
Manhattan Supreme Court Richard Carruthers will pass sentence after hearing evidence from both sides in the coming weeks. Prosecutors are expected to ask for the maximum sentence - 25 years to life.
Miss Coit was killed after a heated row that woke neighbors at around 2.15am on Sunday 8 April.
'It was pure anger,' one source said. 'He didn't want her to leave, and he didn't want her to be beautiful for anyone.'
Brianna Andalore, 20, said she heard screams of 'No, no. Stop, stop. Don't hurt me' through the walls of an apartment she was staying in.
Another neighbor said: 'When she was brought out, the cops were yelling, "Don't look Don't look", her head was almost off. Her neck was wide open.'
Joost Bohner, 33, said, 'I heard her yelling, "Help me, Help me." It went on for quite a while, at least 20 minutes.
'People from the building were yelling out, "Where are you, What apartment?" She never answered them, and people started calling 911.'
Miss Coit was found face up on the living room floor with several stab wounds and the gaping neck wound, sources said. She survived long enough to be taken to hospital, but died an hour later.
'A bright, wonderful girl': Sarah Coit had been studying marketing at Hunter College and was a former high school athlete
An autopsy revealed that the former high school athlete was killed by a stab in the back which left internal organs protruding.
Prosecutors revealed that Barrera, who was arrested last year on unrelated assault charges, was on his way to Penn Station to make his escape when he called his father.
Assistant District Attorney William Beesch said: 'His father told him to turn himself in.'
Public relations worker Barrera has since been held without bail.
Sources close to the investigation said that after being picked up by police, Barrera said: 'I did something bad.'
Miss Coit had been studying marketing at Hunter College. Her father, Lynde Coit is a Cornell-educated lawyer and the family live in a $1.4 million home in Greenwich.
Speaking to the Post, a woman who lives nearby said: 'She was a bright, young, wonderful girl. She had a bright future ahead of her. She has the most wonderful family you could imagine.'
Real Housewives of Atlanta GETS FOXY For Charity Costume Event
Check out your fave drama-filled reality chicks in their costumes, which honored iconic black women in film, Kenya Moore put on her Foxy Brown best for her charity costume gala in the ATL. The lady in red with the cut-out boobage and sexy curves and 'fro said about her event:
Soooooo relieved that my event was an incredible success. Thank u to my generous sponsors, family and friends. You all were amazing!
Her "RHOA" co-stars dressed up as well to support. For now. And as for the charity gala itself, our sources say it was set up as more of a taping for an episode of "RHOA" rather than an actual charity event. No surprise there.
and looked like she threw a Tina Turner/80's wig on top of her actual outfit.
Cynthia & Peter Bailey looked like heightened versions of their usual selves. But Cynthia was actually going as Mahogany with her Billy Dee Williams escort.
"RHOA" Newbie Porscha Stewart and her former NFL hubby Kordell Stewart hit the carpet...and she got golden as Dorothy Dandridge.
NeNe Leakes was barely recognizable with her edgy look, made famous by none other than Grace Jones.
And Phaedra Parks rocked her extra elaborate catwoman/S&M costume to become Eartha Kitt:
Oh....
Actress Terri Vaughn and her husband Karon Riley must have missed the costume memo.
Marlon I meant Marlo Hampton is rumored to be axed completely from this upcoming season, but that didn't stop her from showing up to the gala to support fellow TALL Kenya. She kept it glam as Diahann Carroll.
And last but certainly not least, Lawrence Washington dressed as the woman he always wanted to be.
WERK.

Deion Sanders Pissed At Paying $10K in Monthly Child Support
Public drama between Deion Sander and his wife, Pilar, has died down for the past few months. Until recently. According to reports, Deion is none too pleased about the amount of monthly child support that he’s been forced to pay. What’s all the fuss about? Monthly, Deion has been shelling out $10,000 for their children. He claims that this amount is actually SIX TIMES more than Texas law requires.
What does Pilar say? She suggests that the amount is more than fair, as their children are pretty expensive for the single mother monthly (with $450 for haircuts, $2,000/month for a special diet for the kids, $900/month on uniforms and shoes for the kids’ sports activities and $500/ month on the children’s cell phones). What’s more is Pilar says that her estranged husband is worth at least $250 million. Meanwhile, the courts will have to duke this one out, as Deion has filed docs in Texas Supreme Court challenging the support order.
