When Soundtrack Collabos Get Weird

Blue-eyed blues-rock demigod Jack White and sexiest woman alive Alicia Keys (yeah, we said it—check the resume) might not exactly be musical peas in a pod, but they both possess ridiculous quantities of talent. And now they’re teaming up to pen and perform the theme song to November’s Quantum of Solace, the newest James Bond jammy.

It won’t be the first time that strange bedfellows have teamed up for a soundtrack. There have been surprising mash-ups in the past like Roni Size hooking up with Cypress Hill, and even a Fat Boys x Freddy Kruegar rap banger atrocity. With the Keys/White collabo on its way, we’ve rounded up some prime examples, arranged in order of increasing bizarreness. Dig in the crates with us after the jiddump, chiddumps.

Which BET Awards Woman Looked The Best?

Wayne and Kanye definitely dominated last night’s BET Awards, but we really had a hard time paying attention to all that rap shit. With some of the finest women in the entertainment industry strutting their carefully manicured stuff, how could we focus on anything else?

Consistent hotties like Alicia Keys, Cassie, Ciara and Rihanna all had typically strong showings, but a new batch of starlets like Lauren London, and Angel Love also made their bids for the belt. After the jump, see pictures from the event and vote on who was the evening’s #1 stunner.

Alicia Keys Has A Teenage Love Affair

We still don’t know what to think about these recent rumors that say Alicia Keys got engaged to her longtime producer Kerry Krucial (Is she a lesbian? Or is she getting married to her secret boyfriend? You can’t have it both ways, gossip queens), so we’re just trying to pretend like it isn’t true.

Alicia’s new video for “Teenage Love Affair,” the third single off As I Am, is making it easier. In this homage to Spike Lee’s School Daze, ’Licia looks as delectable as ever with her door-knockers on. Wait for the scenes at the end, where she attends the pajama party in a trench coat and teddy, much to the surprise of her love interest, actor Derek Luke. Check it out after the jump.
