Alicia Keys Is Looking For A Few Good Bloggers




Who among us hasn't taken a look at chart-topping R&B superstar Alicia Keys and thought, "I bet I could go to work for that woman acting as an instrument for the expression of her worldview on the Internet." Keys wants to make those theories a reality, as she is partnering with Monster to find a blogger for a soon-to-launch online property called I Am a SuperWoman.

"It will ignite super women with empowering content, delivering vibrant and optimistic news, opinion, and entertainment at a supersonic pace," reads the statement of purpose on the official Web site. "IAAS (I Am A SuperWoman) will give powerhouses everywhere one source to connect with each other — and the world." It sounds like Keys wants her own version of Goop.

Think you can provide a place for powerhouses to gather? Keys would like to see your resumĂ©. The semi-finalists will go to London for an incredibly elaborate job interview, and the winner will be at work for Keys by July. She isn't just looking for superfans, either. According to the job listing, applicants must have two to three years of experience, a Bachelor's degree and the willingness to be interviewed on television (at least throughout the interview process). It's also not a telecommuting gig — I Am a SuperWoman will operate out of New York City.

Still, it's as cool a contest as we've seen and will probably attract some truly talented people (you know, like "Project Runway").

Alicia Keys: Keys’ Beyonce duet delayed

Alicia Keys is postponing the release of her much-anticipated collaboration with Beyonce until the summer - so she can put out a track with Canadian star Drake.

The R&B beauties jetted to the slums of Rio de Janiero, Brazil in February to film a new music video for Put It In a Love Song, which they recorded for Key's latest album The Element of Freedom last year.

The promo was expected to air in March but Keys has revealed she's put the song on hold while she makes plans to promote Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready), which features vocals from singer/rapper Drake.

Speaking about her Beyonce duet, Keys tells Rap-Up.com, "Expect it right after my Un-Thinkable video. It's kind of nice that I have such a great video (with) such a great artist in the can. They're going to be able to see the Un-Thinkable video first and then see Put It in a Love Song, but it probably won't come until closer to this summer."

Keys has ruled out inviting Drake to make a cameo in the clip when she shoots it later this month but hopes to collaborate with him again in the future: "He won't be in the video. That's too obvious. (But) he's a great guy. I'm really proud of all the things he's been able to achieve, and we're most likely going to do some kind of remix for the song that'll be really good. There'll be more of me and Drake."
