Alicia Keys opened her “Elements of Freedom” tour up yesterday in New York City at Madison Square Garden and like most concerts that hit NYC, some surprise guests accommodated her, including her boo Swizz Beats, Beyonce, and Jay-Z.

While Alicia was performing “Put it in a Love Song” which features the Mega diva Beyonce, Beyonce showed up and showed out. It looked a bit strange with Alicia on stage with just 3 dancers alone but Bey added the spice to the performance. Check it out.

Alicia’s boo, Swizz Beatz, was also in the building and made a guest cameo in-between Alicia’s set of “Empire State of Mind” and then introduced the Mayor of Hip Hop himself, Jay-Z. The concert looked really exciting for the fans.

Alicia ontinues on her near 3 month tour up until May 7th, ending it in Berlin Germany. For the full list of concert dates check out AliciaKeys.com.

Tyra Banks recently had Beyonce on her show where they talked about her record-breaking six Grammy Award wins, her P.D.A. for Jay-Z, her new fragrance line, the Michael Jackson tribute, etc.

As we all saw during the Grammys, Beyonce shocked everyone, including hubby Jay-Z, with her over the top expression of love for him. You could tell she was so excited about her win that she mistakenly broke one of her ‘relationship rules’!

Thanks to the people at Lady Gaga’s official site for releasing these photos of her on the set of “Telephone” music video. There are no pics of Beyoncé just yet but don’t you kids fret she’ll be releasing some too! Take a look below.

I love a lady with a telephone hair do!

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has named Beyoncé as the official face of their limited-edition “Fashion For Haiti” T-shirt. The charitable tee features black and lime green graphics designed by Peter Arnell, who also created the CFDA’s iconic “Fashion for America” mended heart T-shirt that raised $2 million dollars following 9/11 for the Twin Towers Fund. As the spokesperson for “Fashion For Haiti,” Beyoncé has a message for all fashionistas: “Join me and the fashion industry by buying and wearing the Fashion for Haiti T-shirt. Together we can send a message of hope by raising much needed funds for the people of Haiti.” In addition to Beyoncé, fashion designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Tommy Hilfiger and more are rallying to promote the $25 knit. The CFDA will donate the net proceeds from each T-shirt to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Look for the tee to hit shops and e-boutiques on February 16.

Beyonce | Black Culture

Pop diva, Beyonce, had two songs “Waiting” & “Black Culture” that leaked this week. The songs are JUST okay; I mean nothing much can be said about them. They sound like filler songs for her upcoming project or maybe she was bored in the studio and decided to record. I dont know! I know she can do better than this. Take a listen and give your thoughts.
