Postergirl For ProActiv

Posted by Bossip Staff

key5.jpg

The beautiful and talented Alicia Keys was spotted in Beverly Hills sans her make up. We are guessing the Proactiv endorsement checks stopped coming in because someone can play a game of connect the dots on the side of her face.

We’ll give her a pass since her promo shots are bangin:

  1. 1st ***** *****a*s

  2. Mr. First

    First!


  3. Wow I just saw her at the VMA and she looked on point and least chris brown thought she did he was grining his ***** off when the camera pointed towards him. Still a beautiful girl just need to stop lying about her skin care and get up on some AMBI. Support black business.

  4. KDogg

    First after the first two.

  5. Sad

    What a sad job you have.

  6. iBossip@Skool

    bossip dun upgraded on me

    gon head bossip


  7. Is this a recent picture? I know this is what she USED to look like…

  8. stan-b-gone

    it takes more than proactiv to clear up old acne scars. thats what those are. they are not bumps.

    she still beautiful!

  9. Jingles

    Bunch of haters…..

    One love people, she is beautiful.

  10. Dalia

    Everyone knows that you have to give your skin a rest from makeup. It was probably the makeup that broke her out because the Proactive has really been working for her.

    She has more talent in one pimple than most people have in their whole bodies.

    Give her a break.

  11. Shotta

    I would stil hit her, In the face that is.

  12. BJ

    stop it Bossip & people; she is a beautiful talented women who seams to have her head on straight !!! don’t care if it’s a new pic or not there is not one guy (& a lot of women who would not “hit that”

  13. smart*****

    Noone, noone, noooooone, can claim to be purrr-*****t


  14. She is still plug-able

  15. inhirnamy137

    She is pretty, but I don’t consider her beautiful, because she looks like the average light skin chick with long hair, but I guess she has very sensitive skin.

  16. Keys Kisser

    And she still is better looking than 90% of these boppin a$$ hizzoes in Hollyweird!!!


  17. How come no matter how much weight Alicia gains, she never gains any lbs. in her chest area?

  18. nicole

    i know for a fact once you stop using proactiv, your face gets *****ed up.

    still a gorgeous chick, though.

  19. Sara

    That’s not acne scar. That’s acne. I’m sure she’s taking care of her skin but when you have acne problem like Alicia keys then it’s very difficult no matter what products you use to always have nice beautiful skin.

    It’s the same thing with Cameron Diaz..she also got acne issues.

  20. kim

    i bought that proactiv ***** and it don’t work period.*****ing scam

  21. VB

    AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY BEYONCE IS BETTER .IN ALL CATEGORIES .SHE HAS THE BETTER VOICE .SINGS BETTER SONGS WITH BETTER CACTHIER HOOKS .IS PRETTIER WITHOUT BEING MIXED RACE AND HAS THE BETTER SKIN.

    BEYONCE >>>ALICIA

    ALICIA LOST.

  22. Shae

    Rotflmao! HOT MESS!

  23. elle

    hey, *****ody’s perfect.

  24. inhirnamy137

    VB your right Beyonce skin always looks good.

  25. Doc-2-B

    bossip you are triflin’ as hell! one minute you’re hyping her up over you-know-who and calling her beautiful and talented (which i totally agree that she is), but then you publish ish like this before her album is supposed to drop disrespecting her about something that she and millions of other people have to deal and are sensitive about (no i don’t have an acne problem, but still…why tease her about it?). this is just rude…at least she’s not a fake overrated diva like you-know-who, who probably has acne too but her lacefront covers it up. goodness gracious…just leave people alone (even you-know-who) and let them do their thing and make their music. or at the very least, be consistent in your coverage of celebrities. sheesh

  26. Doc-2-B

    by the way VB…Beyonce>>Alicia because she has better skin products? can you even tell what beyonce’s songs even mean? please…

  27. Shelly

    Just goes to show young girls that NO ONE is perfect… With a LOT of make-up, you too can look like any of these celebrities.

    &

    Doc-2-B, get over it! It’s not that serious…

    Gossip sites do not discriminate…

  28. yes

    that last pic is weird, that oufit shouldnt be hidden behind the piano

  29. Lili

    ^^^Doc-2-B, you are so right.

    But this is a blog, not an AKeys fan site. I’ll admit, I was a bit perturbed when I refreshed the page and saw this post, but again, this is a blog, and it is what it is…

  30. 70122Gyrl

    This is utterly stupid to even comment on this blog. Come on Bossip, we can’t bring down one of the few sisters in Hollywood holding it down and representing the way this lady does. Alicia is talented, never included in the mess and controversy we typically read about, seems down to earth and no matter how many pimples, blemishes or whatever it is, she is still beautiful.

    Is this really all you could say about her??? Come on.

    BTW, she looks a hella-vah lot better than Bey. Her beauty is natural, God given. Bey’s is bought, glued, dyed, fried and whatever else she does to that damn mop on top of her damn head.

    Hush yo mouth!

  31. justbeingreal

    Doc-2-B Get yo stan ***** outta here!!!! Alicia don’t give a damn about u and it is not that serious b/c not everyone likes Alicia just like not everyone likes all the other celebrities. But imo I agree that Beyonce’s skin is a lot better. Say what u want about her but that girl has some nice skin and u never see her w/ bad skin. Either way both ladies are beautiful and talented so stans fall back!!!

  32. justbeingreal

    and 70122Gyrl that goes for u too b/c ya’ll two stans sound so damn pathetic. People love them some Beyonce and that’s the way it is so get over it already b/c don’t neither Alicia or Beyonce care about ya’ll. Damn do ppl get paid to stan for a celebrity?


  33. D@mn boo, Make-up is a wonderful thing!

    but the girl is deep, and talented! I wuv alicia keys! hi..umjussayin, txboy!

  34. Jingles

    looks like the average white skinned chick…..prettier without being mixed race??? What a bunch of racist *****e !

    If some cracker was spewing that crap everyone would be up in arms…..

    maybe one day…..one day…..this ignorant b/s will be over.


  35. Now, now, Bossip. Ya’ll leaves Alica alone; you hear me!

    LOL


  36. Alica is beautiful with or without make up. She could be breaking out from eating greasy food or from drinking soda. Exercise is not only good for your body it’s good for your skin.

  37. loveyoulongtyme

    Um, as much bashing that goes on here at bossip, why are folks all sensitive about Alicia Keys?! If this was Brandy, Monica, Mya or god forbid BEYONCE, yall would be clowning for days. Yes A-keys is talented and cute, but she is no better than the rest of those girls yall clown on a regular basis. So don’t go telling bossip to take it easy on Alicia if the rest of the young divas are still fair game.

  38. umjussayin

    hey ms suga walls tx boy ntm tru .

    and as for the caption who gives a ***** bossip? really ?

    im gettin tired of this *****. im bout to ..to WORK. *****!


  39. K. So I been reading some throwback bossip posts and I am dyin on the train.

    Lmmfao! Ahahahaha

    What happen to that cl*****ic shyt?


  40. Yalls. Convo is so whack!

    I have a new found appreciation for my mornin crew.

    Tears

  41. Tamila

    This is so mean. Acne is not about what you eat or if you take care of your skin. It’s a disease, over production of sebum, extra cells, etc. She just needs to get on some Accutane. And she’s STILL BEAUTIFUL. Stop hatin.

  42. BronxBrawler

    Once I look @ her hips & thighs I forget about a little acne.

  43. Lisa

    Doc-2-B

    This is not a *****ing fansite. Bossip is a gossip site. If an artist no matter how talented and beautiful she/he is walks down the street with ACNE all over her *****ing face then you better believe that a gossip site like Bossip will put that pic on this site and clown her.

    That looks a hot mess. She’s still very talented though. Too many Alicia stans on here. If that was Beyonce all of y’all would be laughing and clown her and it would be like 600 posts. Y’all some hypocrites.

  44. reena

    acne is not cause by drinking soda or greasy food. She still pretty

  45. lawyerbarbie

    first, can I register my “not a fan” status of this new comment layout. Second, its because her hair is curly….I have the same problem, my face is clear everywhere but the sides of my face/jawline because the gel and such that you put on curly hair can irritate your skin badly

  46. simperfi36

    Bossip shut the heck up!That’s not funny,so she has acne leave the beautiful lady alone.


  47. Acne can come from eating greasy food which clog your pores or drinking things which contain a lot of acid, such as sodas. Dermatologists recommend drinking plenty of water and staying away from friend foods.

    “According to a research published in December, 2002 issues of Archives of Dermatology, certain high-glycemic foods cause acne. These food stuffs lead to high production of insulin in the body, which raises the male hormones. As an effect of rising hormones, there is excess production of sebum in the body which ultimately leads to clogging of pores thereby causing acne. Foods such as grains, milk, processed food, bread, french fries and potato chips are the main culprits in this case.

    The experts suggest a switch over to a lower-glycemic diet. A lower-glycemic diet would contain the following:

    1. Cereals that contain bran, barley and oats

    2. A lot of fresh vegetables and fruits

    3. Lots of water, herbal teas and vegetable juices

    And a lower-glycemic diet would not contain the following:

    1. Walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, and filberts

    2. Large amount of dairy products and milk

    3. Sodas and other aerated drinks

    4. Potatoes

  48. davis

    Alecia is beautiful no matter what. It’s just a little breakout.

  49. Wiggety wiggety wack!


  50. Didn’t her and Diddy have some acne issues? I thought I saw both of them on an infomercial at one time. Oh well, I’m still mad at BOSSIP. Lol!


  51. Diva we got covert operations going on

  52. Darkflava21

  53. Well, back to work for me!!

    Hi ISSMH!!


  54. @ ISSMH!!!

    Who? What? When? Where?

    **the dead has arisen**


  55. We hide out in the haloscan rooms.


  56. ISSMH–

    I wonder if BOSSIP really gives a rat’s patootie that I’m *****ed off right now?!!!

    I guess not.

    See–the way that I look at it is–BOSSIP done went and gave me the fat “black tops” and now that I’m addicted, they wanna throw me the “skinny green tops”. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I feel like a crack head!!!!!


  57. Summin is wrong with you


  58. Oh, OK. I gotta tell you this, though–

    The other night, I got into it with the lady at McDonald’s–AGAIN! See, what had happened was—I noticed in the drivethru that they had a picture of a fire extinguisher with the arrow pointing down but no fire extinguisher so I asked the lady and the guy to please move and I took a piture and sent it to the regional office. I let them know that they could be SEVERELY fined for this and I was just trying to look out for them.

    They got mad at me.

    BASTIDS! Lol!!!!!!


  59. Hell you messin with them fo?

    Lmao

    I hope you never eat there again

  60. TopThat!

    She pretty much has a acne problem I kinda feel bad for her which is shocking cuz i usually could care less but its pretty horrible.

  61. TrueTarheel

    Alicia is great, but…3 simple words.

    Laser Scar Removal

  62. TrueTarheel

    ^^Same! Moms tries to tell me it’s because of the things I eat, but there’s nothing greasy or sugary in the crib for me to eat. When I get bumps, I only get a few on my edges…

    But no, AKeys has an acne problem. I get a few bumps but they don’t look anything like that, and they damn sure don’t show up on camera.

    She needs to hit the dermatologist something serious.

  65. Reformed GammaRay

    proactive=Joker products from batman, man…that ish is like crack to the skin, it can be harsh on diff textures and some skin types can’t take all that,my skin got worse if I didnt use it in a while and my skin wasnt that bad to start but it’s hella sensitive since proactive… damn face in proactive rehab…

  66. Reformed GammaRay

    allrighty the “new new” comment spizz..what’s dark came to light eh bossip? ella eh…

  67. rachel

    Alicia is a pretty girl like the rest of us she is not perfect and for some reason I get the feeling that SHE is ok with that. I’m looking forward to the good MUSIC that she always delivers.


  68. whoops guess she took one too many squirts to the face lmao….now go google ron paul

  69. cutemama007

  73. I no likey the new “unimproved” Bossip!!!


  74. UMJUSSAYIN

    what is up? what are you doing? this comment section really does suck, but what can you say!

    I am *****ed up, I know that! Girl, why I was walking down the street yesterday, and I saw a little girl..that could be no older than 3 years old, tell me why did she have her hair spiked in a mo-hawk, dyed at the tips, she had rings on every finger, and had on big black hoop earrings! WHYYYYYYYYYYYY? Her mother thought that..that was the cutest thing! I tell you, when she turn 6, and start back talking, her mother can’t say *****, or when she get knocked up at 11, she really can’t say ***** neither! I was wondering If this little girl, had a father, and what he thought about this hoochie *****!

  75. La. Finest

    ***** Proactiv!!! I get breakouts easy too, like when people have the nerve to actually touch me in the face or when I have my hair in my face too long. Don’t feel bad Alicia we all got flaws.

  76. Super Man Dat Hoe

    ***** She’s Still sexyer Then 1,000

  77. Patches O'Hoolahan

    i hate this new comment thing form bossip! never thought i would miss seeing wesley snipes’ picture!!!

  78. Msbiord

    Plus the fact it’s new album time so all the stress could be taking a toll on her skin…stranger ***** has happened lol

  79. DC Tap Water

    I think a lot of people are offended because AK sings relevant sh*t and not bull*****….She prob dont care about you all caring about her skin tone…So who really gives a damn..She knows she got a rash on her face lol…And that lunch pail bag, I will hit her with it….

  80. DC Tap Water

    She still the Shiiiit!!!

  81. Queenie

    Noone, noone,noone but yoouuuu can take away those from your faaaaace. j/p

    She’s still cute though


  82. I don’t understand how all that money can’t buy an acne solution. WTF? The worst one is Cameron Diaz walking around town, face looking like a middle schooler. You should not have pimples like that AND wrinkles.

  83. Beautiful Blue Eyed Angel

    she is still beautiful…

  84. Wrong

    mrs. dwayne johnson…..”I don’t understand how all that money can’t buy an acne solution. WTF? The worst one is Cameron Diaz walking around town, face looking like a middle schooler. You should not have pimples like that AND wrinkles.”

    You don’t get it do you? If you have serious acne problem (Alicia Keys) (Cameron Diaz) then it’s hard to get rid of’em. It’s like telling a fat person all she has to do is go on a diet and she’ll be fine. That’s not always true. Many people are natural big and it’s very hard for them to lose weight and they can struggle with that for many years and sometimes their whole life.

    If you’re blessed with good skin then you should be happy. The same thing with people who never struggle all that much with their weight because they’re blessed with good genes.


  85. And she still fly….

  86. BubbaGoosie

    Go Alicia! She’s the bomb!

  87. hmpf

    She’s still beautiful and she’s got a wonderful gift.

  88. hmpf

    It doesn’t matter what amount of money you have. Acne is a systematic problem that can be caused my hormones, genetics, oil production, product sensitivity, etc. I am sure if there was a cure for acne they would purchase it. Who wants to live with that on their face. You need to do your research before you jump to conclusions.


  89. She still looks beautiful.


  90. Drock mahogany nice txshawty notch

    Follow the clues man!

    We found a safe haven. LOL

    Well send for you later.


  91. Didn’t Jessica Simpson get busted for using Accutane when she was a ProActive spokesmodel? Seems to me that ProActive is like their man Diddy; full of hot air. But the world isn’t going to end with Alicia having acne…she’s a human being.

  92. Mr Eff

    i swear some of yall act like the celebrities are robots.She’s human like the rest of us.9 out of 10 times u see her she’s on point..But i get this gets more recognition

  93. jay

    Where am I?? What is this place I have entered?? I’m confused, I Stay SMH, Ms. Sugar Walls, Sureshot, Traycee, 504, MTW, someone please explain WTF has gone on since I’ve been away?? Bossip did’nt break up the crew with this new shyt DID THEY??:(

  94. jay

    twshawty, drock, notch, mahogany??? Where did ya’ll go. @ I Stay SMH Where is this safe haven you speak of??

  95. FIDDY

    SHE ALWAYS HAD BAD SKIN!

  96. Keeping It Real

    Im convinced all the writers for Bossip are either women or gay men because all they do is ***** and talk about people all the time.

  97. Straight...no chaser

    Is this Bossip??? I don’t care how many bumps, scars, scrapes, bruises she has on her face…I’m still copping that album.

  98. jay

    Why??

  99. Creole Princess

    Alicia is still pretty with or without the breakouts, the last couple of summers I had acne not as bad as hers though…don’t really know if it has something to do with the heat in S.FL, but proactive and other precribed meds didn’t work for me…it was when it started getting cool in the fall (60 degrees) that cleared my skin. So it may have something to do with the environment she in.

  100. Notch

    Good morning yall!

    Im off for a few days and bossip done changed ish on me! (off gambling for my birthday!!)

    Keys work on the face..playing connect four on your cheeks isnt sexy..

    But i still love you girl!!

  101. Notch

    Im lost..where the hell is everyone???

  102. LeaveHerAlone

    thats messed up Bossip…!! word..one minute youre bigging her up,next minute youre *****ting on her…over a medical condition…!!! thats messed up people!! im not hatin on yall ,im just stating the facts….acne is one of those things thats hard to control..most of these celebriho’s have acne..they just cover it up very well…anywayz, im on bossip everyday…and most of the time yall are on point,even tho you stay judging people …whether theyre talented or not..like some of the other comments said, no one is perfect…not even Beyonce…

    not even me..

    not even you..

  103. nono

    wow. amazing what make up can do. she even looks darker than that when she makes appearances.

  104. dani

    Alicia seems to have stans now..lol..bossip is still a gossip site that makes fun of celcbs people..Alicia is my girl..and she has always told people that she had a acne issue way before she endorsed into Pro-Active….as for the Beyonce and Alicia comparisons..please stop..Beyonce has flaws too like her weight..she has to really try hard to get it under control then some women in Hollywood..she can’t get too big or too small because people will dog her out.anyways..I’ll keep it real with a celeb if yo face look like a nuclear bomb done blew up in yo face then so be..lol…celebs are real people too..get over it Bossip is doing there job

  105. Parisian

    You Americans are so obsessed with skin tone and skin complexion.

    That is very sad

  106. lano

    This lady is so thick goodness gracess.

  107. justbeingreal

    btw why is it that Beyonce name comes up on any subject about any female artist? I know she’s a lot of ppl’s favorite including mine but this don’t have nothing to do w/ her. She has a great body and is very talented and so is Alicia so can yall please stop trying to bring down one or the other b/c they are both doing their thing.

  108. eve0513

    ISN’T THIS A BLACK GOSSIP SITE. I THINK A LOT OF POEPLE ARE MISSING THE POINTBY GETTING THEIR FEELINGS HURT.

    AK BETTA STOP PUTTING HER FACE UP IN EVERYTHING…LOL!!!!!

  109. Keisha2doll

    Alicia Keyes is beautiful, spots and all!!! In fact I think her spots are sexy.


  110. Oh thank god bossip gave Alicia a p*****. If that wasn’t so, I couldn’t imagine how Alicia could go on (SARCASM)

  111. joe

    she probably just got a facial. apparently some people here don’t have proper hyigene and couln’t figure that out.

  112. Cutiepa2tee

    Wow… when will people realize that celebrities are human. Human’s get acne… perfection doesn’t exist. To think that it does exist is completely naive on our part, I think.

  113. Cutiepa2tee

    *make that humans, not human’s lol ; P
