Alicia Keys hosted Keep a Child Alive’s 5th Annual Black Ball at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City last night. A bevy of A-Listers showed up for the worthy Charity bash. Here, she is seen posing it up with actress Jessica Alba:
Alicia looked great. Such a remarkable woman she is. But what will set tongues wagging again is a certain somebody who was there….
And it certainly wasn’t Alicia’s long-term partner Kerry Brothers. Justin Timberlake, Alicia’s good pal and collaboration partner John Mayer and um, Alicia’s ALLEGED new squeeze Swizz Beatz was there as well:
But no Kerry Brothers and you best believe I seeked out every pic on Getty, and he wasn’t there. And you’d expect her man to be at her side on an important occasion like this one. Not trying to start up any conspiracy theories here. I love Alicia like cooked food but if she truly is the reason why Swizz and Mashonda ended their marriage, then that’s certainly not a good look. Peep more musical and non-musical fabtacular celebs who attended after the jump.
Tyra Banks, Iman and hubby David Bowie, Queen Latifah and Zoe Kravitz attended:
Everyone looked nice except for Zoe. This chick never gets it right. *SMH*

I love Zoe Kravitz. Shes not really dressed for the event but she has that rough rock edge to her style which i love.

alicia looks so lovely, forget about tyra

Alicia looks purrty. I find it odd that Kerry was not there, but Swizz was. Things that make you go hmmmmm……
November 14th, 2008 at 9:00 am
everybody looks good to me…even timberfool and zoe…
November 14th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Everyone looked good. I think Zoe looked cool too. But, what exactly happened at the ball? And who is the guy inbetween JT and Swizzy?
November 14th, 2008 at 9:13 am
John Mayer

first off ALICIA confirmed that shes NOT with kerry no more. They are still business partners and friends but the relationship has ended. Damn toya i thought you posted that awhile back?
And swizzy even stated that alicia didnt have nothing to do with his marriage. He said that mashonda and him was over. And mashonda just tried to start shit to create a lil buzz and it still fell. Cus nobody is checkin for her debut album..its been about 15 yrs and she still talkin bout a debut album lmao!
Alicia is a legend and a caring person. i love her to death not only does she put out quality timeless music but shes also has a big heart.
so hate on haters….

Alicia looks fab.
Everyone else looked good too.
BTW, I was at the ball last night and Krucial WAS there. Alicia socialed with both guys.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:38 am
@Mileka: That’s John Mayer! You’ve never heard of him?
Alicia, Tyra, and Dana look good…The man in the wig and Zoe scare me
Why is Zoe famous????????????

The Anonymous was me

OMG Krucial how dare u not show up to the Black Ball. Big Deal whateva. He wasnt at the one in 2007 or the one in London earlier this year. I really dont see a big deal with Swizz there. people continue to read into thing. but obviously they dont give a damn, y would they. who are u, me, anyone to judge. why ruin a friendship, future music collabotions, relationship, whateva cause people talkin ish they obviously know nothin about. This isnt Swizzs 1st time at this very same event, as well as the others in attendace. Theyve been at the same events before and will continue to be. They both have youth foundations.
and i need to correct myself according to Noelle Esquire of KCA College Headquaters of NYU. Kerry Brother was in attendance for this year, awards presentation and celebrity auction.
But as a President of UWG’s KCA College Chapter, this event is not who came with who, who wore what, who was there who wasnt BUT about about raising awareness and money for those in Africa, India, and soon to be South America suffering from the HIV/Aids pandemic. Those who have been left orphaned by parent who have died from it, are give shelter and gaurdians, and food. AS well as the ARV meds to those who are living with the pandemic.
as we say it only takes a dollar to help change the life of thoses suffering and living with HIV/Aids. WHO GIVES A BUCK! I Do, We Do, and We hope u will to. get informed

Kerry was there. just because he didn’t walk the red carpet doesn’t mean anything. he was there
November 14th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Everyone looks great…except for JTimberfake, looking like the fucking Uni-Bomber.
I still love his music though….m.f.er

Jessica Alba ~ Wow, I’ve never seen her look so bad before. Motherhood must be tough on her if she can’t even take the time to fix her hair.
Alicia ~ She is my favorite musical homewrecker. Not really feeling her look though. Glad she took the time to shave her legs this time around.
Tyra ~ Something about her reminds me of Mariah…
Queen ~ She looks good minus the hair and the shoes.
Zoe ~ H.A.M. as usual.
November 14th, 2008 at 10:53 am
NONONONO Krucial was not there
Come on people read in between the lines Swizz and Alicia
are together DUHHHHHHHH
November 14th, 2008 at 11:12 am

@ erock
BOOOOOO Whore Its called a gossip site so gossip is the
Business here and I am pretty sure Swizzzy is blowing that back out…….
November 14th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
mial, how dare you think alicia didnt shave her legs….
and shes definitely not a homewreckerk, you must really not know her character. true, please GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE with that bullshit you spewing! swizz done denied the rumor TWICE and alicia didnt even take the time to associate with the rumor and she does with alot of things she hears because she has alot of shit to do.
i think everyone looked ko0l [jt included, minus the hat] and swizz’s suit is THE BUSINESS. i need it lol.

I find it so ironic that the same people who support Obama and his views on abortion ( for example PARTIAL birth abortion) are going to a charity to keep children alive….

here a clip from the awards portion of the show with Queen Latifah accepting with a great and moving speech….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Ri22hoL-w

GV, Keep A Child Alive is an AIDS charity, not a Save-The-Babies-From-Abortion one.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Dont matter …then its even more hypocrtical.
November 25th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Just to set the record str8….
Kerry “Krucial” Brothers WAS, I REPEAT was the the Black Ball this year in NY. He didn’t walk the red carpet.
I was at the event and he WAS there.
Thanks….stop supporting rumors…..get your facts str8!
