Alicia Keys snaps cig ads

Alicia Keys put the nix on advertisements for her show today in Indonesia that stated the show was sponsored by A Mild cigarettes, which is produced by a Philip Morris affiliate. She had her people send a letter to Philip Morris saying she's an advocate for healthy living and doesn't promote smoking at all and asked for them to be removed. Surprisingly, they took the ads down with no problem.

Ahhh...women who don't smoke. So sexy.

Alicia Keys working with Jack White

From the world of odd pairings, Alicia Keys and Jack White are gonna tag team the new James Bond theme, Another Way to Die. Jack actually wrote the song and was supposed to be joined by Amy Winehouse, but since she's such a total effing trainwreck, Alicia Keys signed on to take her spot.

Hey, it worked for Linkin Park and Jay-Z, so why not Alicia and Jack?

Alicia Keys officially blows

She's gorgeous, she has a hell of a voice, and she's officially hit rock bottom. Alicia Keys is now designing WeeMees. You know, those stupid little dwarf things that people create and post on their AIM? Man, having your 15 minutes of fame end must really suck.

Wardrobe Malfunctions: Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys has second lowest #1 of all time!

This week Alicia Keys has the #1 album in the country.

Soundscan is the company that has been measuring album sales and determining the chart since 1991. This week soundscan said Keys' As I Am sold 60,519 copies - enough to make her #1, but also a low enough amount to make her the second lowest-selling #1 album in the history of Soundscan charting.

This definitely prooves that CD sales are waaaaaay down and dropping like a lead brick made of iron.

Questions then:
Do you still buy CDs, or mostly digital downloads?
Do you still listen to the radio? (Be honest... I can take it.)

By the way - in case you're keeping track - the lowest selling #1 album of all time was The Dreamgirls Soundtrack.

VMA Rundown!

Here's a couple stills of Britney's performance last night. Ironically they move just about as much as she did. And one reason why she was so "out of it" was because the hotel cancelled her big plans with Criss Angel last minute -- throwing her all off. And she knew it - reportedly crying backstage after her performance.





But at least Britney didn't have the worst OUTFIT of the night (although she's a semi-close second). That honor goes to Lil' Mama:



Kanye West cried like a little beeeotch backstage again - it seems to happen a lot at award shows. He was majorly pissed that he lost in ALL 5 of the categories he was nominated for. He said he'll never come back to MTV again. Yo Kanye -- don't you realize nobody really cares who wins or loses, we just care who looks good and bad - and who fights who???

Speaking of which Tommy Lee and Kid Rock got into a scuffle at the show. Pamela Anderson's crabs broke it up. Yawn.

And back to Britney... she did it again! Last night... no panties... got out of a car cooch first... paparazzis were there. Not a good night for Britney. To see the vag-slip... and it's very naked so please only go if you're 18+... click the "before" pic of Britney below.



In the end -- I thought it was a good show.
Chris Brown and Rihanna was the best performance.
The live singing bumpers to and from commercial were weird, rushed, but cool.
Justin's "bring back music videos" message was rad.
Alicia Keys looked hot.
Britney gave us something to talk about.

I don't want to watch it the 247 more times that it will be replayed on MTV over the next week... but for the most part - mild thumbs up.

What did YOU think??? Leave comments... I'll use them on the air tonight... and in tomorrow's Celebrity Dirt!!!
Werd.
