Brew Bits: Alicia Keys & Swizzy Go House Shopping

Hey, wreck one home... buy another one. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist... I'll stop now!)

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have been spotted house-hunting around New York City. Word is the two have their eyes on a multi-million dollar duplex penthouse condo on 170 East End Ave., that's across from the mayor's Gracie Mansion. The building has a gym, squash courts and a private screening room. And again... it's across from the damn mayor of New Yaaaaawk!

I really need to know what that orange suit is about though...

Brew Poll: Too much, too soon?

I'm sure by now everyone has the seen the pictures over at YBF of Mashonda and Swizzy high falutin birthday party for their 3-year-old son Kaseem, Jr., at FAO Schwartz. The dapper birthday boy rocked Louis Vuitton sneakers and a John Galliano blazer. Now, I'm all for kids looking cute but is this a little overboard? Don't we need to start teaching our children early that it's better to buy stock in a company then their goods? If you have Louie sneaks at three, where do you go from here? I'm not dissing Mashonda (@mashondaloyal) and Swizz for their choices, I'm just sayin'.  Is this too much, too soon?

Twitter Fits

Twitter is the new breeding ground for ranting sessions.

Chris Brown threw a bitch-fit because some stores have opted not to sell his trash "Graffiti" album.  He claims he's being blackballed in the wake of his Rihanna beatdown, although industry insiders have predicted this album will go Triple Tupperware©.  So, Breezy took to his Twit for Twat (@mechanicaldummy) and went o-f-f:

Meantime, another Twitter ranter said a mouthful today.  Swizz Beatz (@therealswizzz) is throwing his own digital punches at estranged wife Mashonda (@mashondaloyal), who went very public about Swizzy's relationship with Alicia Keys back in September.

Here's what Swizzy had to say.

And here's Mashonda's clap back.

I really want these celebs to employ the SPELL CHECK before they hit send.

So, what's your call... is Twitter the right place to air your dirty laundry and get your rant on?

Homewrecker Gate: Tsk Tsk Tsk Alicia.......

Well, so much for " I ain't mess with Swizz while he was still married". YBF somehow got their hands on these juicy lil photos of Swizz and Keys gettin smoochie smoochie in January '08 *sigh* I know people say it's the man's choice to stray and you can't blame the woman but can't you blame her just a teeny tiny lil bit??? I'm just sayin....

So Alicia, you still launching iamsuperwoman.com??? hmmmm......

I hope Mashonda doesn't have another twitter rampage, cause this is truly some bullchit.......

Mashonda Has Some Words For Alicia Keys

Now, I've been the "I need to know why this didn't work out...why did you choose the 'other'...why didn't you like me" girl before. But, after the tears dried and I manned-up, I got over it. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be and after all, it usually winds up being his loss, not mine anyway.

So, after hopping over to Bitchie's space and reading this long ass tweet from Swizz Beats' ole lady Mashonda to Alicia Keys (Toucan Swizzy's new lady), at first, I thought this girl has got to let go! But then, I thought about the child involved and for a second... I reconsidered.

So, follow along now: Apparently Alicia Keys was having some kind of studio debate about love on her Twitter page... should you go for the smart choice or the choice that creates spark. Ok, so Mashonda reads this and takes to her Twitter page to call for a woman-to-woman "for the sake of my son" chat with Ms. Keys. She wrote this extremely long tweet Saturday.

@MashondaLoyal: 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.

Already I can hear some of you saying " why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken". Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.

My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.

If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.

Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would've handled things more carefully. I'm not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now

This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don't have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!

I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what's real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the "people", this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.

I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.

If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I'm not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.

To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.

Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.

Lordamercy! Mashonda is now saying because the tweet was "so important" to her, she may retweet it everyday until she gets a response from AK. Are you trippin', Boo? (And who knew you could tweet that damn long...but I digress)

I've learned there is NO SUCH THING AS CLOSURE! Now, I certainly get the concept of not wanting the new "friend" around your kid until you've met her and "approved." But, ideally, what are you really going to do? You can't control everything, and you can't really put a stop to who your ex starts dating. At some point, you really do have to move on and just let that shit go!

I get it though, Mashonda. You married this man. It's hard to let go. You made the vows and here comes miss piano player with hips all up in yo' marriage. But dammit, men don't wander randomly. He rolled out. Period. End of story. I don't know that I believe the concept of some evil temptress stealing a man like a thief in the night (not that Mashonda has really categorized Alicia as such). But, clearly, it's over. Let it go. That doesn't absolve Swizz of his responsibility in this "affair," nor does it absolve Alicia. But, Mashonda, don't let what these two did control you. And wanting to re-tweet this everyday? Ok, that makes you look a bit stalkerish. You're too talented, too beautiful and have a child to raise. The moment for your woman-to-woman chat will come. This really isn't a matter for Twitter! Stop chasing after answers, girl. Let Toucan Sam go!
