Alicia Keys stopped by The Wendy Williams Show recently to talk about a variety of topics including her husband Swizz Beatz, her new hairstyle and her two-year old son Egypt kissing Jay-Z and Beyonce's one-year old daughter Blue Ivy during a visit.
"Actually Egypt kissed Blue and I don't think Jay liked it very much," Alicia told Wendy. "He called my husband. He was like 'umm, watch your son.'"
Alicia also discussed her upcoming "Set the World on Fire" tour with Miguel, her current favorite musicians and more.
Meek Mill is in an awkward position. On one hand he knows and likes 50 Cent. On the other hand he works with someone the G-Unit general does not like in Rick Ross.
During a recent interview with Sway in the Morning a fan called in and asked Meek if there was a way he could squash the beef between the two.
"What they got going on they grown men," Meek said. "It's been going on for a long time. If I could I would. I knew 50 before I ever got signed with Ross. When I signed with Ross I couldn't just act like I didn't like 50 at all, that would be fake of me. If I could I would. I don't like seeing nobody I know go through anything. I don't wanna be in the middle one day and you gotta choose sides or anything like that. I had plans on doing that. If I'm around ain't gonna be no fighting or nothing like that."
Master P's younger brother, C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, will have to serve out the remainder of his life sentence in a Louisiana prison after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal.
Miller was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced in 2009 to life in prison for the 2002 murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas, at a Harvey, Louisiana nightclub.
The jury came back with a 10-2 verdict in favor of conviction. Louisiana and Oregon are the only two states that allow for non-unanimous convictions for some crimes.
Miller's lawyers were hoping the high court would make a decision "on the constitutional law that requires federal juries to reach unanimous verdicts in criminal cases, but allows states to make different rules," but were unsuccessful.
According to the Associated Press, "the justices recently have rejected similar appeals asking them to treat state and federal trials equally. Decisions involving gun rights and other issues generally require states to extend the same constitutional rights as the federal government."

When Tupac Shakur died in 1996 at the age of 25, he left behind a treasure trove of unreleased music. Many of those gems have now been heard on the six albums that have been released since his passing. However, there are more unheard tracks from the rapper that many consider to be the greatest of all time.
Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, head of his estate and founder of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, issued a statement vowing to get all of her son's music to the public.
"I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac’s entire body of work is made available for his fans," reads the statement. "My son left many incomplete pieces and even more unfinished ideas. Using the blueprints he gave us, I am committed to fulfilling this duty."
Jampol Artist Management will oversee "licensing, apparel and other ventures in all media, worldwide, as it relates to Shakur's music, film, name and likeness" according to Billboard.
"It’s our responsibility -- and our privilege -- to ensure that new generations of fans experience the power of Tupac’s music, his ideas and his storytelling," Jampol said in a statement.

Lil Wayne has reached rock star status in the music world. Whatever he does onstage or off makes headlines. But has the New Orleans rapper let success go to his head?
Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97 thinks so. Today Peter said the syrup sipping, pills and yes men have turned the Young Money boss into an embarrassment.
Rosenberg also cited Weezy's recent offensive lyrics about Emmett Till, picking up skateboarding at his age and his comments about banging Chris Bosh's wife as further proof the rapper is making all the wrong moves lately.

BRUSSELS - Police are looking for eight men who drove onto the tarmac of Brussels international airport and stole millions of dollars worth of diamonds from the hold of a Swiss-bound plane.
Brussels prosecutor's spokeswoman Anja Bijnens said Tuesday the armed and masked men crashed through the security perimeter fence around the airport with two cars.
Within minutes they made their way to the plane, took the cache of stones and drove off into the darkness.
In a stunning raid on a loaded commercial aircraft, eight armed robbers got away with as much as $350 million of gems
The robbers, who wore outfits resembling dark police clothing, got away with 120 parcels, mostly containing diamonds but some also holding precious metals.
Brussels Airport spokesman Jan Van der Cruysse tells Bloomberg News the diamond thieves apparently were efficient, needing just three minutes at the plane in an operation that took only 11 minutes total.
"It was very well organized, very swift, efficient and well planned," Van der Cruysse tells Bloomberg News in a telephone interview.
Sources say the gems could be worth between $50 million and $350 million dollars.
Police found a burnt-out van close to the airport later Monday night but said it was still looking for clues.
Here is a list of some previous high-profile jewel heists.
2005: Thieves threaten the guards and hijack an armored car from Dutch carrier KLM's cargo ramp at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, making off with millions in diamonds and jewelry. Subsequent media reports put the value of the loot at up to $100 million. "It was a secured area of the airport, so it's a big question how those people could get there," an airline spokesman said at the time.
2003: Robbers tape over security cameras, disable the alarm system and break into the high-security underground vaults of the Diamond Center in Antwerp, the world capital of diamond-cutting, getting away with an estimated $100 million in goods. After prying open 123 of the 160 vaults, the thieves stood ankle-deep in a pile of diamonds, gold, jewelry, stocks, bonds, cash and lockboxes, police said. The bounty was so abundant they had to leave a lot behind.
2008: While Christmas shoppers stroll outside the posh Harry Winston jewelry shop near Paris' famed Champs-Elysees, armed thieves - some dressed as women and wearing wigs - enter the store and steal gems and jeweled watches worth up to $85 million, according to French police.
2009: Two elegantly dressed men rob the Graff Diamond Store in London's posh Mayfair district and carry away necklaces, watches, rings and bracelets worth more than 40 million ($62 million at today's exchange rate), according to Scotland Yard.
1994: Machine-gun-toting thieves steal $45 million in gems from the Carlton Hotel in Cannes on the French Riviera.
2004: Twelve pieces of jewelry worth about $31.5 million, including the 125-carat "Comtesse de Vendome" diamond necklace, are stolen from a store in Tokyo's Ginza district.
2007: 120,000 karats in diamonds, worth $28 million, are stolen from safe-deposit boxes in an ABN Amro bank in Antwerp, Belgium, according to police.
2008: Masked thieves drill a tunnel into jeweler Damiani's showroom in Milan, Italy, making off with gold, diamonds and rubies worth an estimated $20 million. The company did not confirm the value of the stolen items.
2002: Thieves break into a Dutch science museum, where an exhibition promised to show visitors how to tell real diamonds from fakes, and made off with necklaces, tiaras and precious gems on loan from other museums estimated to be worth $12 million.
1993: Robbers manage to open only five of the underground vaults at the Antwerp Diamond Center, yielding loot estimated at $4.55 million.
Rumors that Drake is planning an exit from YMCMB have been circulating for months. Those rumors intensified in December when it was announced that Drizzy's October's Very Own imprint had inked a deal with Warner Bros. Records.
The Toronto emcee has previously denied those rumors, and did so again at an All-Star after party this weekend in Houston.
“I just want to say as I’m standing in front of you tonight, proud as a man that’s about to be with Young Money-Cash Money for another I don’t know how many albums. YMCMB for life," Drake told the crowd.
Do you think Drake is really happy with Young Money? Or is he just waiting for the right time to exit stage left?

A London man apparently angry at Rihanna because of her rekindled relationship with Chris Brown yelled insults before hurling a bottle of Lucozade (a UK energy drink) in her direction outside of The Box nightclub. The bottle missed, but the singer scraped her knee on a metal object while dodging it, causing her to scrape her knee. She was seen wiping blood away from the minor injury.
Riri's bodyguard chased the man before injuring his leg and requiring medical attention. The assailant escaped according to the New York Daily News.
Rihanna was in town debuting her new clothing line, River Island, for London Fashion Week.

Joe Hundley

An Idaho man is under arrest and charged with assault after hurling a racial slur and slapping a crying toddler in the face on Friday.
60-year old Joe Hundley was seated next to Jessica Bennett and her 19-month old adopted son Jonah, aboard a flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta when the toddler became fussy. As the plane descended the baby began to cry. That's when Hundley told Bennett to "shut that n*gger baby up" and slapped the child near his eye causing him to bleed and cry even more.
Other passengers came to Bennett's aid and she was given another seat.
Jonah Bennett
"I could not believe he would say that and then hit him," Jessica Bennett told KARE 11. "I felt like i was in another world. I was shaking."
Bennet said Hundley had drunk several double vodkas during the flight and had previously complained that her son was too big to be a “lap baby.”
Jessica, Josh and Jonah Bennett
"He reeked of alcohol," recalls Bennett. "He was belligerent and I was uncomfortable. [Joe] Hundley's comments were racist and hateful. We have numerous questions about how a passenger could get so violently out of control as to assault a toddler."
Hundley denied using a racial slur or hitting the baby. He did acknowledge that he “asked the mother to quiet the child" according to the Smoking Gun.
However, another passenger on the flight corroborated Jessica Bennett's story.
Todd Wootentold agents that he “heard derogatory language coming from the rear of the aircraft” and got up to investigate. Wooten said he “he saw Joe Rickey Hundley strike” the toddler.
Hundley's employer says he has been suspended from his position with Unitech Composites and Structures in Hayden, Idaho, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
If convicted Hundley could face up to one year in prison.
"If he goes unpunished it would be awful," said Jessica's husband Josh. "We want to see this guy do some time."
