Alicia Keys asks ‘What Would Oprah Do?’

Soul singer Alicia Keys considers American TV mogul Oprah Winfrey one of the wisest women she knows, taking her advice on several important issues. After having a near breakdown in 2006, she said she took Winfrey’s advice about getting your life back after achieving fame. Winfrey also advised Keys not to get drawn into talking about personal issues that tend to turn into the latest celebrity gossip.

Without going into details, Keys told the UK’s Now magazine, “Right now my life is really, really good. Love fills you up like nothing else can.” Keys married her sweetheart Swizz Beatz in July, and the two became parents to a son, Egypt, in October.

Alicia Keys' Jack vow

Alicia Keys has vowed to work with Jack White again.

The pair teamed up on 'Another Way To Die', the theme song for the latest James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace', and Alicia says they worked so well together they will definitely collaborate again.

She said: "This isn't the last time we'll work together, this is just the beginning."

The singer believes 'Another Way To Die' has "fever", adding it fits in well with the new spy film which she describes as "sickening".

Alicia explained to GQ magazine: "I felt like us together would be some real rock 'n' soul s**t. It has this fever to it, these really heavy drums and the Memphis Horns. It's the first duet in Bond history? I didn't even know that. But that's what makes it so fly; two worlds coming together to create something that totally goes with the movie."

The star also rubbished claims there is a feud between her and Amy Winehouse, who was rumoured to be recording a James Bond theme with super-producer Mark Ronson earlier this year.

Alicia called the rumours "cute", adding they were entirely untrue.
