We’re well aware that security was very lax at last month’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but this video here is comedic gold! Remember when Lil Mama hopped her azz on stage and crashed Jay-Z and Alicia Keys‘ performance? Well a brand new video has surfaced and it features Jay’s wife Beyonce trying to stop Lil Mama from going up there on the stage. Clearly Lil Mama was in her own world and didn’t give a damn!

Alicia Keys is planning on launching her own blog, IAmASuperWoman.com, later this year when her new album drops. She talked about the blog while discussing the vision for her new company AK Worldwide with The Associated Press last week.

What do you think about A Keys launching a blog dedicated to empowering women with all of the drama surrounding her, Swizz Beatz and Beatz’ soon-to-be ex wife Mashonda?

Looks like the issues surrounding this “love triangle” between Swizz Beatz, his soon-to-be ex wife (and mother of his child) Mashonda and his new woman, Alicia Keys, have reared their ugly head again! Though Beatz and Keys (that sounds funny together, haha!) have yet to publicly announce that they’re knocking boots, anybody who follows either of the two know what’s going down behind closed doors. They’re always at events together, send mushy messages to each other on Twitter and have even been spotted by the paparazzi enjoying an intimate evening.

Well now Mashonda’s fed up with the whole situation and has decided to put A. Keys on front street for allegedly assisting in the failure of her 5-year marriage. Here’s a message she sent to Alicia the other day on Twitter.

After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @aliciakeys twit page. I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do. Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child. Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.

I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.

Here are the videos featuring the performances from Sunday night’s (Sep 13) MTV Video Music Awards: Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and more! Even with all of the mishaps (Kanye and Lil Mama, we’re talking about YOU!), the show turned out great. This year’s VMAs were possibly the best in a while: fun, entertaining and definitely unpredictable. Continue reading to check out all of the performance videos!

Rapper Lil Mama says her emotions were running last night during the VMAs as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed their song, “Empire State of Mind.” She sent in an apology statement to MTV earlier today apologizing for jumping on stage with the two icons, who for the most part, ignored her presence altogether.

“I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,” the statement reads. “I admire them and look up to them as role models. ‘Empire State of Mind’ had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.”

Jay-Z appeared to shoo her off when he noticed her up there and said, “You’re T-Paining.” But she didn’t care. She kept on bopping her head and rocking to the music before striking a pose along with Jay and Alicia at the end of the performance. We would have loved to hear the conversation that followed!

Check out the video after the break.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys closed out the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of their song, “Empire State of Mind,” which comes from Jay’s new album, The Bluprint 3. Towards the end of their set, a noticeably excited Lil Mama jumped on stage and crashed their performance… AWKWARD!!

Here are some photos from the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, held Sunday night (Sep 13) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Big names like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West and more all showed up and posed for pictures. Continue reading for the rest of them!

With the 2009 VMAs just a few days away, it’s hard to believe MTV is still adding performers and presenters to the final line-up. But they are and their official website says that Jay-Z will be debuting his collaboration with Alicia Keys, “Empire State of Mind,” at this year’s ceremony. The track comes from Jay’s latest album, The Blueprint 3, in stores and online now.

Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Shakira, Jack Black, 50 Cent, up and coming singer Justin Bieber and others have been added to the list of presenters, which already included Ne-Yo, Nelly Furtado, Katy Perry, Tracy Morgan and more.

In addition to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, other confirmed performers include Beyonce, Pink, Wale, Lady Gaga, Pitbull and Janet Jackson, who is set to open the show with a musical tribute to her late brother, the King of Pop aka Michael Jackson.

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards are set to air this Sunday, September 13th live from New York City’s Radio City Music Hall at 9pm/8c and will be hosted by Russell Brand.

It looks like Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys aren’t hiding their love anymore. The pair was spotted enjoying each other’s company during a romantic evening at the VIP club Wednesday night (Aug 26) in St. Tropez, France, and even though neither one of them have officially put out that they’re “dating,” we believe these pictures pretty much speak for themselves. Don’t you think? Though we can’t help wonder what his soon-to-be ex wife Mashonda thinks about all of this…
