Celebrity Seed: Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Kendra Wilkinson, Hank Baskett
Singer Alicia Keys played step mommy to husband Swizz Beatz’s kids, Kasseem Jr and Prince Nasir. They took the kids to see the movie ‘Spiderman: Turn off the Dark’ in NYC over the weekend. After breaking up a happy home, the insecure Keys, 30, didn’t waste any time getting pregnant to solidify her position in his life and to assert her baby’s importance over the other woman’s kids.
But the tactics of a conniving woman usually fail to work in the long run, especially when dealing with a serial cheater, like they say Swizz Beatz is. I don’t see this story ending well for Alicia at all. Photos: Splash News

Awwwww….. how adorable is he? 
Celebs Out & About: Kanye West, LaLa Vazquez, Kelly Rowland, M.C. Hammer
Musician Kanye West, 33, attended the Giuseppe Zanotti Design Beverly Hills Store Opening cocktail reception yesterday in Beverly Hills. Mr. West looked cool as a cucumber rocking a pair of vintage Alitalia Sport 550 Sunglasses. Kanye is said to be so upset that Nicki Minaj surpassed him in record sales that he immediately went back into the studio to try and top her. His next album is due out this Summer. Good luck to him.
LaLa Vasquez, 31, and singer Kelly Rowland, 29, were spotted bowling for charity dollars at the Lucky Strike Lanes on February 3 in Lakewood, Colorado.
Something about Kelly’s hair disturbs my soul in this picture. Is that a patch of her hair missing on the side?

Celebs Out & About: a plethora of C and D-list celebs in Dallas
It’s the weekend of the Super Bowl in Dallas, Texas, which means every B, C, and D-list celebrity is in town hoping to be seen. The few remaining publicists in the biz probably told their clients to get to Dallas any way they could — even if they have to ski there — because there are no real stars in town due to the heavy snowfall and canceled flights. You know it’s a celebration of irrelevancy when has-been rapper Yung Berg shows up at your event.
Shameless hussy Evelyn Lozada, 41, pushed up against NFL player Chad Johnson, 33, of the Cincinnati Bengals at the PepsiCo Super Bowl Weekend Kickoff Party last night featuring Lenny Kravitz and DJ Pauly D at Wyly Theater in Dallas, Texas.
Tennis superstar Serena Williams, 29, looks amazing considering all the rumors we’ve been hearing about her health lately. It looks like she’s picked up a little weight since we last saw her. Serena says the cast will be off her foot next month and she’ll be playing in a tournament. It will be good to see her back on the court if she really does play which we doubt.

Chris Paul and Steph Curry: Where Amazing Happens
Here are the last two commercials in the NBA’s not-so-innovative green screen “Where Amazing Happens” commercial series featuring rare archive footage of today’s NBA phenoms, filmed during basketball practice while they were still in high school.
Most kids dream about being in the NBA, but in the commercial series — which have been described as “creepy” — NBA fans are sent back in time to “foresee” the futures of their favorite NBA players, including 17-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire, Kevin Durant and Steve Nash.
The worst of the lot is the Chris Paul commercial, which looks like a high school student edited it. You can practically see the green screen when the kid steps in front of Paul. CLICK HERE to watch.
Everyone agrees that the best commercial by far is the one featuring a teenage Steve Nash and a kid from the future who tells Nash: “You’re going to be a 2-time MVP, a 7-time All-Star and you break your nose, like, a dozen times.” CLICK HERE to watch.
Stephen Curry’s “Where Amazing Happens” commercial is the last installment in the series. Stephen was the 7th draft pick by the Golden State Warriors in 2009.
In the commercial, a young boy from the future interrupts Steph as he’s warming up alongside his All-Star dad, Dell Curry, prior to the the start of a Toronto Raptor’s game in 2000. The boy tells Steph: “In 10 years, I’ll be with my dad… and we’ll be watching you.”
D.C. Police Make 6th Arrest in Teenager’s Murder
When 18-year-old Latisha Frazier went missing last August, her case was assigned to a homicide detective rather than the missing person’s bureau. Latisha would never run away and leave her 4-year-old daughter, her parents told police.
Family and friends say Latisha was a good mother and student, who went to school in the mornings and worked in the afternoons so she could take care of her daughter at night. Her father, Barry Campbell, often wears a t-shirt with a picture of himself and his daughter.
“It’s so sad. It’s hurtful,” he told NBC News in an interview.
Investigators say a group of 6 people — 3 men and 3 women — lured Frazier to an apartment in D.C.’s poverty-stricken Parkland neighborhood on August 4. There, police say, her hands and legs were bound together with duct tape and a bag placed over her head. The men and women took turns beating and stomping her with their fists, feet and blunt objects.
The group then put her in a closet inside the apartment. When she began to make noises, they pulled her out of the closet and beat her again. When she fell unconscious, they took a stick and poked her to see if she was still alive, then they stuffed her back in the closet for 2 days.
At some point, her body was discarded in a dumpster behind the apartment building. Her remains have never been found.
Months went by without a trace of her. Then a tip was called into the Metropolitan police department, leading detectives to believe she had been murdered.
5 people were taken into custody months after Frazier was first reported missing. The 6th suspect, 23-year-old Brian Gaither of Southeast Washington, was arrested yesterday at the same location where Frazier was murdered. He is charged with 2 counts of murder and ordered held without bail.
The defendants told detectives they believed Latisha stole money from one of them.
“Nonsense,” say Latisha’s parents. The suspects don’t work. The suspects don’t have any money. They say Latisha was the only one among them who had a job.
Halle Berry’s ex: “Don’t call my baby black!”
The latest missile has been fired in the ongoing custody battle between Halle Berry, 44, and her ex-boyfriend, underwear model Gabriel Aubry, 35.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, sources say Gabe “goes nuts” whenever someone refers to his 2-year-old daughter Nahla as black.
Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ … whenever Gabriel would read a story about Nahla that referred to her as “black,” he would go off, insisting his baby was white. We’re told Gabriel would tell Halle and others they should demand a “retraction” when such references were made regarding his daughter.
I’m going to have to agree with him there.
Nahla is not black. If anything she’s biracial or mixed, but she’s definitely not black. I don’t see that as a problem — if it’s true.
But sources also tell TMZ that Gabe once called Halle a “ni**ga” – indicating that he might be a racist. That would be dead wrong if he called her the N-word in front of their child. Not that Nahla even knows that the word is offensive. But you can imagine the manner in which the N-word was delivered. No wonder the kid is terrified whenever daddy and mommy get together.
