Chanteuse Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz, a Harvard business school student, got the gift of a lifetime over the Christmas holiday weekend: a son, Genesis Ali Dean.

As up and down the Mid-Atlantic the rampant, unchecked destruction of Alicia Keys' native habitat barrels on, Page Six brings us a cautionary tale from Flying Point Road in Southampton where, earlier this summer, a sleeping homeowner awoke to find Alicia Keys having a small party in her home.

Alicia Keys says her son gave Blue Ivy her first kiss, even though Bey and Jay obviously seek a more powerful alliance.

Today, the once fawned-over phenom Alicia Keys released her fifth album, Girl on Fire (not a Hunger Games reference!). It's pretty good — I've never thought of her as a great provider of texture, but there's a sonic adventurousness to this album unlike that of any she's released so far. Perhaps it is compensation for her increasingly strained voice (though that sort of thing rarely bothers me — a little grit from overuse can add a lot of soul).

The Empire State Building's new Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting system already gave us a glimpse of its potential on election night, when it was used to display results in real-time.

Kim Kardashian's giant boyfriend gives her a giant diamond. A Victoria's Secret model gets a DUI, kicks a cop, and escapes an L.A. jailhouse. Kellan Lutz rejects Britney Spears. Wednesday gossip attracts magpies.

Ashton Kutcher's maybe-mistress milks her 15 minutes. The Baldwin family Christmas will be argumentative. "Taylor Momsen offends Scottish crowd," but not for the reason you think. Tuesday gossip will soon be naked.

Britney Spears (or her imposter) might be a big stoner. Halle Berry's boyfriend gets in trouble with the law. Charlie Sheen tracks down his hooker-snatched watch. Saturday Gossip Roundup is backing over paparazzis like it's Grand Theft Auto IV.

Celebrities, including socialite Kim Kardashian, have quit Twitter until AIDS charity Keep a Child Alive raises a million dollars. A day later, they've got $105,484.03. It's a worthy cause, but this may not have been a winning gimmick, guys!

To promote its upcoming return to our airwaves, here's the newest—and coolest—thing the cast of Glee has for us: a cover of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' New York-celebrating ballad, "Empire State of Mind." Warning: it's awesome. Listen inside.

Singer Alicia Keys got hitched to producer Swizz Beatz in Corsica on Saturday in a ceremony performed by Deepak Chopra and attended by Queen Latifah and Bono. Because that's just what you do, when you're rich. [Page 6]

Sandra was in Beverly Hills all week, but nobody got her picture. She should teach seminars to Lindsay Lohan, who got caught partying last night. Alicia Keys is pregnant and engaged. Gary Coleman is in the hospital. TGIFriday gossip.

A mystery celebrity will be coming out of the closet on the cover of People on May 5 and lots of people are talking about who it's going to be. Well, it's time to toss out names and respective odds.
