Alicia’s Getting Hitched?

Posted by Bossip Staff

Alicia & Kerry

Word is Alicia Keys is getting married:

“Alicia is planning on marrying her music producer beau Kerry ‘Krucial’ Brothers in NYC this summer. Star magazine is reporting that the couple is planning on tying the knot at the Oheka Castle on Long Island on July 4, 2008.”

As much as we’d like to believe that, we think it’s best to do a “wait and see” on that one.This is probably just some ploy from her publicist to take the heat off her from the backlash of that gangsta rap statement. Just a thought.

  12. jai

    actually this is old news, way before the blender incident so i dont think it was supposed to draw away from alla that mess.

    it was reported first maybe a few weeks ago, complete with pictures of the castle. step your game up, bossip.

  13. Fast tailed Tonya

    Its about got damn time! I hope he blows her back out on her baby grand piano!

  14. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    I have not been unable to sleep this evening due to police and fire alarms ringing in my codominium community so I thought I would check on Bossip. This has to be a desperate attempt to shift attention away from her recent comments. Alicia, stand behind your words girl because us black women need to stay strong. Anywhoo, I am going to try to lay down again before the rabid dogs arrive! Have fun Cujo (shrugging shoulders)

  15. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    unable=able

  16. anc*****d mad at the hbo and the wire wack ending

    backlash from bey and jay

  17. UMJUSSAYIN

    bey

    lish

    nia whos next kim .. i cant take this *****!

    sad lezbo u see this ***** man!!! what we gon do fam>?? lol

  18. cici

    Good news. I can’t wait to see they get married.and one thing you may not know,that they began their romance through a celeb club called ”m illio nairechats. dotco m”, where is full of milli-onaires, beauties, and celebrities. Now it’s time for them to remove their dating profile but just leave their blogs and videos there

  19. Poly-Graph

    @artof war, ditto. her body language sez it all. Unspoken communication can be more powerful than words. For her sake, I pray she ain’t gay or bi.

    @umjussayin, you probably ain’t lived long enough to know who you really are, get some wisdom first suggur, or take a poly graph!!! Holla

  20. Poly-Graph

    @umjussayin, you probably ain’t lived long enough to know who you really are, get some wisdom first suggur, or take a poly graph!!! Holla

  21. Queen Dee

    Actually, Bossip, if your staff was on their ***** they’d know this came out weeks before that “gangsta rap controversy” came about. I saw pics of the castle on one of her fansites as well as another blog.

  22. Poly-Graph

    @ just sit p in be pretty, I hope you can get some sleep tonight, Real Black women unite! Alicia tries to be all political, she put her foot in her mouth, because she could not explain herself clearly on Ryan Seacrest last evening.

  23. Lili

    Yea….the timing’s too coincidental. lol Much luck to them though!


  24. congrats Alicia Keys, thats whats up

  25. brown sugar

    i don’t know about this dude. he cute and all but i don’t know. anyways im her #1 fan so im happy for her. i never thought she was gay. she has her own style and just because she didn’t walk around in high heels and tight skirts people think she gay. my style is like alicia’s.

  26. rfl

    good for them if this is true!!!

  27. Anonymous

    ***** please!!! Yeah, she got her own style alright. When she open that mouth or walk around in them skirts, she’s as butch as they come. Look at the pic, they aint feeling each other like that. That’s her dawg–not her man. A marriage to this dude would be a straight career power move. This new makeup and stiletto s***** aint fooling no real ni**as.

  28. K-ten

    hmm…well, ok…

  29. LaSabre84

    Man leave this lady alone! She been dating him for some years now (Not exactly how many)but she is happy with this man, so why does it have to be a stunt? Alicia is not a stunner, she is stunning! I’am soooo glad she is with a dude that is not flashy, and getting locked up for stupid *****! Carmelo listen up!

    Congrats Alicia!

    Many blessings to you and Kerry!

  30. DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    IF $HE DOE$ IT OR NOT I ONLY WI$H HER THE BE$T!!!

    P$: @ PANAMANIANS…….

    DAAAAAAAMN!!!!!!! ;)

  31. BOSSIP IS WHITE OWNED AND STIRS UP *****!

    ***** Bossip, its owned by a stupid white guy and is now edited by a stupid white woman he hired. His other site is jossip.com. Try a black owned gossip site such as young, black and fabulous.

  32. ki

    I think alicia only eat fish to keep her weight down

  33. Don't mind me

    Doesn’t she look elegant

    These things havppen in three’s. congrats if true

  34. Lady Architect

    Congrts to licia. Bossip yall are slow this came out weeks ago before the blender incident and before jay and bey got married so it streamed from neither. I wish people would leave her alone about the gay thing because she has not ever stated that she was. People got that from her playing opposite of a gay character. Suddenly everyone has a gaydar? And why are yall concerned about her body language? To me she’s being respectful in public and keeping personal behind closed doors. Sometimes if you have to go through so much to prove you’re with them, then the actual stunt is on you. They were together for years. Be happy for her.

  35. Don't mind me

    hear hear

  36. LEESA

    I guess if gay male celebrities can have pretend “marriages”, Alicia can too!!

    I still think she plays on the Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott team!

  37. LB

    this is no ploy to curve the backlash from the Blender comments because this RUMOR was on MTO over 2 weeks ago.

    Step up ur game, Bossip

  38. Streetz

    @LB

    LMAO! I knew I saw this somewhere else lol. damn Bossip is always late on the come up. Yall need to get off Alicia’s *****. gotdamn. hating must be hereditary

  39. Rotex

    Congrats to her!

  40. dee

    Yall are slow as hell. This info came out way before the Blender mag… and it came out on MediaTakeOut first. That magazine just probably did what the radio stations do — looked on MTO, and reported it as if it were fact.

  41. ANOTHER PLOY

    This is just another ploy to squash the gay rumors. Unless he’s into threesomes and he’ll let her bring a girl into the mix. This publicity stunt was out before she made the comments. This is strictly SO PEOPLE WON’T STILL THINK SHE’S GAY.

  42. bree

    um i heard this story already, so this has nothing to do with the statement she made about the damn ‘gangsta rap’ term..you’re just late Bossip

    & what the hell is wai ?

  43. dEs... THIS IS OLD (& UNTRUE) NEWS

    *****s been speculating about this for a week (or two?) now, aka BEFORE the “gangsta rap” sh*t even came out(!)

  44. Harlem World

    I would marry that woman as well.

  45. dEs

    search Media Takeout, they had a “story” on this on APRIL 8–sh*t ain’t true

  46. $m♥K.E.Y.

    Bossip ya’ll cannot spell

    “wai and see”

    use spell check you Trailer Park Crackers, it is

    “wait and see” damn ya’ll make Khia seem literate!

  47. swoosh

    sure

  48. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @my 11:17 imposter. LMAO, girl you’ve got insomnia because you are a sad, lonely, miserable failure and your insanity gives you no peace!! LOL @ this girl interrupted calling herself a rabid dog…how funny and crazy is that?!?!

    BTW, I live in a “house” not a condo. :-)

    @Bossip the original version of this story that you all posted at 4:55pm yesterday was funnier, the writing was a tad bit more pithy.

  49. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    Oh and if Alicia is getting hitched, congrats to her and her man…

  50. Don't mind me

    Why does everyone think she is gay? Is it because she is not being provocative and suggestive to sell records?

    Because she is not marketing her self through her sexuality to cater to men in the most obvious ways?

    Never gotthe whole gay rumour. I mean what was it ever based on apart from the above which says more about you then her

  51. CAN'T YOU TELL

    She behaves like a gay woman and that’s it.

  52. Don't mind me

    just sit down and be pretty – how did you get your gravatar up. I’m not having much luck with this!

  53. Don't mind me

    How so? How do gays act?

  54. Lady Architect

    I wanna know what makes people think she’s gay? Like seriously what facts about her rub you that way? I don’t see it so I’m trying to get that point of view from people who are saying it’s a cover up and you guys think she’s gay.

  55. Don't mind me

    Well Lady they recon she acts gay???? What does that even mean??

  56. Lady Architect

    lolol that sounds so stupid. One of my closest friends is gay and you can’t tell. Most of the time they are not ones for attention, but you have some that are. Anyways be more worried about the men who are so quick to deny it and try to be all thuggish.

  57. Lady Architect

    Don’t mind me,

    Hey that means if you imitate a gay person trying to be funny that means you’re gay because you’re acting that way. lol. I think people are going off of the fact that she’s not all over king,smooth, or sport illustrated and she’s not on stage with her legs all wide open and oh yeh the fact that she speak with p*****ion and intelligence.

  58. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @Don’t mind, go to gravatar.com and follow the directions. It’s pretty easy and might take a few minutes for your pic to appear.

  59. jusplayit04 The Great

    Just a ploy she’s really gay


  60. congrats to alicia.. and why r people so stuck on her bein gay… just because she came out with braids… and nothin was wrong with her statment.. i swear if it aint a post about beyonce then people got sumin negative to say… im happy for her.. they been together for years and this was planned before her statment and before jay and bey so again stop comparing everybody to bey…


  61. i got alot of gay friends boys and girls… that dont make me gay… if she was on magazines or half naked then she would not be considered gay? she just got respect for her self unlik everybody else in hollyweird gettin knifed up and goin blonde and half naked………im happy for a.keys stay natural..

  62. as seen on t.v.

    congrats to the happy couple…

  63. Melissa

    This ish sounds like a bunch of BOSSIP!!! I don’t believe this for one damn second!He does not look like her type for one and gettin married…oh we’ll just have to see this with our own eyez!!!!

  64. Kompton's Kutie

    Queen Dee

    Actually, Bossip, if your staff was on their ***** they’d know this came out weeks before that “gangsta rap controversy” came about. I saw pics of the castle on one of her fansites as well as another blog.

    ———————————

    Thank You.

    Congrats Alicia!!!

    ——————————-

    @everybody on her being gay

    I like Alicia but, Alicia has a boyish demeanor. Which has nothing to do with the way she dresses.

    And if any gay person can point you out on being gay, you’re gay. They recognize each other.

    Plus, my inside industry person/persons said she was years ago.

  65. Lady Architect

    Kompton’s Kutie,

    What do you mean by boyish demeanor? What’s that? How has she shown it?

  66. I'm Just Me

    CONGRATS TO HER AND KRUCIAL!

  67. Don't mind me

    @ Lady- My point exactly- how shallow they must be for thinking that way

    @ Just sit- Thank you

    They recognise eachother…… smh dear lord

    My point is proven. Wether she is or isn’t I have seen nothing that indicates that she is apart from not letting it all hang out and playing up for the fellas

  68. Lyte Bright

    they seem more like best friends / business partners than lovers. i dont know….she even said she be wanting some real bad. if he’s her man, she shouldn’t be in desperation to get some. im just saying….


  69. UM PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE SHE AINT ALL UP ON HIM … KEEP IN MIND THIS IS PUBLIC SHE GOT RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE>

  70. LB

    the question isn’t why do people think she’s gay. the question is why do people really give a fck. thats what i wanna know. Haters throw that out there like its supposed to hurt her or something. if anything, all yall are doing is getting her the gay communities support and dollars.

    lets think outside the box, people

  71. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @LB, I agree, who cares if she, Missy, Queen Latifah, etc, etc, . are or are not gay? As long as you’re not the ones in their beds, how does it impact anyone’s life? Speculating about folk’s sexuality is soooooooo 90’s and quite boring. *yawn*

  72. Don't mind me

    Either way I still think she is amazing regardless. I was just wondering why where when and how that got started?!


  73. OK AND SO WHAT IF SHE HAS BOYISH DEMEANOR … SHE COULD HAVE BEEN A TOM BOY IN HER PAST LIFE AND THAT DOESNT MAKE YOU GAY

  74. Lady Architect

    Thanks Ms Meca for your intelligent words.

    Lyte Bright,

    They are business partners and they can even be best friends. My parents are best friends cause they go through it all together and are busness partners when it comes to paying bills or taking care of my lil bro n sis. Who knows she could be waiting for a wedding night. I donno how true it all is but I see speculations of her being gay is weird. In that case all the female entertainers can be gay. Rihanna uses Chris as her ploy, Beyonce uses Jay as her ploy, Ashanti uses Nelly, etc.

  75. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @don’t mind…you’re welcome. Hope it works for ya.

  76. Kompton's Kutie

    Boyish demeanor= meaning she has boy like mannerisms. She may appear feminine with the way she looks but she’ll hit you with a boylish gesture. It may be little but you catch it.

    Ex. like gay men that aren’t that flamboyant, but you can catch certain feminine gestures and mannerisms from time to time. They may act manly but they slip up sometimes.

    She’s like Hoops from Flavor of Love.

    Alicia always has shown it. I caught it in the beginning. If you know gay men they will let you know. Game recognize game.

  77. Southern Belle 225

    @Lady A…girl, its just a vibe she gives off and they way she talks and carries herself is just a tad bit too masculine. I think what throws alot of people off is the fact that she is so damn pretty and feminine looking. I’ve always thought she was gay. There is nothing wrong with being gay and when I say that, I’m not trying to slam her because I love me some A Keys. I just think the girl is gay.

  78. Lady Architect

    Nah that’s not very true because there’s a lot of undercover men who will show no sign and fool people for years. I haven’t seen Alicia do no manerisms outside of being an around the way type of girl just chillin. Sounds to me like it’s because she’s not an over dramatic female. I can see if she were like Da Brat grabbing her fake crotch and stuff but outside of bopping her head at her piano I haven’t seen it.

  79. Don't mind me

    I’ll give you all a treat tomorrow with me ugly boat race.

    aka face!


  80. POOR ALICIA HAS TO MARRY THIS MAN TO GET RID OF THE GAY RUMORS, THAT ARE TRUE….LOL! O WELL

  81. Don't mind me

    @ Lady- mission impossible but I hear you. Stereotyping is easier for some. If you don’t ***** out your batty and pout “you be boyish and gay.”

    To me she is one of the most elegant females around.

  82. LB

    regardless of how she carries herself, the fact still remains that what that girl does behind closed doors is *****ody’s business. i could see if she were one of those celebs that puts their entire life on display, but she doesn’t. she keeps her private life private and people HATE that! we’ve become such voyeurs of these celebs lives that we feel entitled to know their every move. and when a celeb refuses to do that, the public doesn’t know how to hand it, So they create their own perception of them.

    Real Talk

  83. Lady Architect

    yeh it’s true I was just trying to understand and see if someone really had some knowledge of her being gay, but now I see it’s about her “look” and “mannerisms” that don’t involve her shake her tail, showing her crotch, and letting her man smack her butt or feel her up out in the open. Like they say it takes one to know one so some should question themselves especially Jay cause every post he’s callin someone gay.

  84. Lyte Bright

    @Lady Architect,

    i hear you and i know business partners/best friends can be lovers. but im saying, i dont see the chemistry between them when you see them together. whether its in a video or a photo. just my opinion. im not hating on alicia cuz i love her, but thats how i see it…

  85. Don't mind me

    @LB- Yes that is true. Some play it up themselves. Their like the parts to a game of media chess! media works for and against them

  86. Nookie

    So what if she’s gay, whatever makes her happy. She seems to be a really down to earth person

  87. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @don’t mind

    Since you are new I suggest you keep close with me because I am the “Queen of Bossip!” I received a trophy last year for “Most Off-Topic Post” and I am also the two-time “Self-Promoter” champion of the world!

  88. Deitre

    I don’t understand how people try to *****yze and categorize people you don’t know. You don’t know Alicia and most of you haven’t even seen her in real life. So why does her personal interest you so much? If she getting married, congratulations. If not, so what? Dang some people really need to get a life, instead picking apart and *****yzing verbal and nonverbal cues from artist to determine their sexual orientation.


  89. I KNOW THIS GOSPEL ARTIST , THAT ALICIA CAME ON TO AT A SOME BOG DINNER EVENT,AND THEY GIRL TOLD HER THAT THAT SHE DIDNT MESS AROUND LIKE THAT, SHE SAID ALICIA WAS VERY AGRESSIVE AND STILL WANTED HER, SHE JUST WALKED AWAY, AND I GUESS *****ODY GOT LICKED THAT NIGHT

  90. LB

    and clearly making up sh*t off the top of ur head is another tactic to use as well :|

  91. Lady Architect

    lol LB. I can’t wait to see Alicia in concert on Saturday! Maybe I should keep an eye out for those boyish mannerisms. SMH


  92. He is sexy and they make a cute couple.

    Marriage near my birthday, I love it.!

    Go cancers.

  93. LB

    @ Lady Architect. I see her on Tuesday. and i got a meet and greet. i’ll be sure to tell her how funny her haters are. lmao!

  94. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @Lady Architect

    You are going to the show in Hampton??? I will be there, if you would like we can meet up since we have been cyber-friends for some time now! Anywhoo, just let me know what you think about it. I am going to make Mimosas before the show if you would like to join us.

  95. Don't mind me

    @ Just sit

    How kind I have been viewing this for a while the mary imposter etc etc. I originally was Mrs decided to change to something more appropriate for this site lol. I’m aware of what you do. You live an interesting life

    @ jay – It must be true then if youre saying it lol

    Damn left out. Gonna have to wait for her to p***** by Europe. Have a great time ladies

  96. kai

    I dont know why she wanna marry him hes *****in ugly lol

  97. Lady Architect

    Dag LB I wanted a meet and greet, but it was too late by the time I read the email to get it. SMH.

    Just Sit and Be Pretty,

    Yes I’m going to the show in Hampton. I’d love to, but I don’t meet ppl offline. That’s how people get kidnapped no offense. What is a mamosa?

  98. CAT EYES

    WHAT KIND OF JOKE IS THIS?LMAO

  99. Lovely Brown

    This story is old, Media Fake Out posted this story about a month ago.

  100. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    @Lady, obviously that’s my rabid, psycho stalker posting at 10:29 and 10:58. I wish this lonely trick would get a life!! Sheesh, this obsession is really getting out of hand. BTW, a mimosa is orange juice mixed with champagne, usually a popular drink for brunch or afternoon festivities, i.e. baby/bridal showers, etc.

  101. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    LOL @Don’t mind…good answer. :-) Imposter, I keep telling you to take less focus off me and instead, devote your energy on your failed, miserable life!!


  102. I thought she was an undercover dyke? Now this?


  103. Hollywood is gonna have the highest divorce rate in history! These Nicca’s swear! Jay and Bey has set the tone for everybody to get married. They all gonna be wasted.

  104. NICE TRY AT FRONTING

    She might be friends with this dude but I don’t see her marrying a man. She is a beautiful woman that’s why no one wants to believe she is gay but it’s so obvious to some of us with gaydar. We don’t care, we just wonder why she tries to be girly so the guys can fantasize. And they fall for it. DUMMIES.

  105. Shawn08

    I can see her marrying him to slow down the rumors. But, I know for fact she is into women… And is in love with a woman.

  106. I'm just gonna wait for Negrodamus to post so I can get my laugh on...

    soooo…because she has boyish mannerisms she is gay?

    Some of y’all really need to quit. Some women CAN and DO enjoy things like sports, video games, and clothes that don’t suffocate you….but at the end of the day they enjoy getting *****ed down (by a real *****) as much as the next “womanly” woman…Find something else to talk about….sheesh

  107. ethang

    She’s gay. Many in Hollywood know she’s gay. Her label had her change her image to stop the rumors. However, it doesn’t matter. Everyone knows she’s gay. Nothing wrong with it though. Travolta and Cruise married women to conceal their true identity. Alicia’s doing the same.

  108. spontaneous

    Can’t believe bossip and star are reporting news that came out on mediatakeout weeks ago!

    If Kerry isn’t alicia’s man then she is a single woman. She has never confirmed who she is with she just says she has a boyfriend. If it’s not kerry then it must be the damn invisble man! No way you attend events color coordinated arm in arm with someone who isn’t your man while your boyfriend chills at the crib. That is the only thing that makes me wonder about her sexuality cause she acts like she has something to hide. If they were getting married alicia is the type to secretly get married and tell you about it when the divorce is finalized! Either way I too can’t wait to see her in concert when she hits the ATL!

  109. HOTSTUFF

    I heard rumors of her getting married before those Blender mag comments were published…

    I just don’t think an artist of her calibur needs stupid Publicity stunts…


  110. I like Alica and i’m happy for her :) I can’t see why people would say she’s gay. Yes she does have tomboyish ways sometimes, but thats with any girl. I know she loves Prince and can remember seeing her in concert an she even came out dressed similar to Prince hat, heels and all and walking as he does but thats just commendable. She just giving him props showing him she digs his style… However over the last couple of years Alicia has fem’d up her act she is wearing more dresses and heels, but that just a sign of maturity on her part, she growing up and getting older and shedding any old images of what we saw before when a person matures and grows it shows and to me its really showing with her. She just down to earth and is a “this is who I am” kinda person. I’m sure if she read some of these blogs she probably would give a f*ck, cuz guess what she is secure within herself and don’t need confirmation from no of us..


  111. whoops meant to say none of us… typo

  112. Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    I doubt that’s true… I think that she’s a natural lezbo and is really trying hard to cover up all that natural swag. File her under conflicted because she’s going to come clean one day and it might take while tho until she get on that “keeping it real” kick.

  113. lisalisa

    He’s her beard.


  114. Congrats Alicia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  115. Encyclopedia Brown

    wtf is this?

  116. so f*ckin' rude

    a. keys get married to a man? ha thats when God allows Lucifer back into his Kingdom.

  117. diedre

    i dont understand where yall got this gay thing from, first off, her and kerry been together since BEFORE songs in A minor came out,get ya facts str8, and 2nd this issue was BEFORE the blender article.

  118. diedre

    and as far as body language is concerned, if yall know anything about cl***** and yall would know that that is how couples did it back in the day, check ossie davis and ruby dee, or ashford and simpson, oh *****, thats EXACTLY who alicia compared herself and kerry to in her As I am booklet when she was thanking him….smh…….

  119. Ben Jake

    I love to see black love! We need to stay together and stop separating, and divorcing…

  120. gen

    @spontaneous

    She has never confirmed who she is with she just says she has a boyfriend. If it’s not kerry then it must be the damn invisible man! No way you attend events color coordinated arm in arm with someone who isn’t your man while your boyfriend chills at the crib. That is the only thing that makes me wonder about her sexuality cause she acts like she has something to hide.
