Alicia Keys has a gorgeous, healthy body. But that doesn't mean the petite star can't get a boost from shapewear just like everyone else.

During a show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 17, 2010, Keys hit the stage in some shiny black skinny pants and a tank. No big deal right? Well, we thought you might like to know about that tank top -- turns out it's secretly shapewear!

Yummie Tummie, an Oprah favorite, makes popular cotton tanks that have a special midsection made of stretchy suck-it-in fabric.

You can wear them on their own like Keys and no one will be the wiser. Or, layer them under other tops for a slimming foundation.

Since so many fans have taken to wearing the tanks on their own, the brand's creator, Heather Thomson, decided to expand her ready-to-wear items into a collection of work-ready ruffled tops, nightclub-ready corsets, and even turtlenecks and collared shirts -- all with the same secret tummy-slimming layer.

Look for the new line this June at fine department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales, or on YummieTummie.com.

Alicia Keys is FAT! She has thunder thighs, a spre tire and a FAT ass, she is NOT all that in the LOOK dept like Marrissa Gold makes her out to be, if you can't see that Sweetie, then you are blind as a bat or fat as a little piggy too.....

And your point (which is a matter of personal taste) is?

We exchanged emails, but her assistant said she couldn't have a relationship with me.
That was 5 years ago. Funny thing is, the same thing happened with Caroline. Her butt swelled up like a Hippo-bottomus too. I don't get it. I've been seen with some of the most beautiful women on earth. Amazingly, the ones that said no, kinda have become more to like than they were before. What can I say ? Al-

To jrayhol: Call her what YOU want, but she is a superstar and worth millions. Now as for YOU? What is it you do for a living, besides blogging on line and talking about people? Tell us ALL how successful you are? Tell us ALL how good looking YOU are? Tell us ALL what exactly gives you the right to call others names, when in fact the only thing that you do have going for you is the use of a computer.

GREAT people talk about IDEAS

AVERAGE people talk about THINGS

SMALL people talk about OTHER PEOPLE

WE are all sure where YOU fit in

And you are what? Some perfect size beauty? Ha, ha, ha... You sound like someone, who is jealous. Alicia doesn't care about peons like you. I'll wager you
aren't even rich. Must have buck teeth as well... Ha, ha, ha...

panzie, 3-26-2010, 10:28PM

TOMMY, 3-26-2010, 7:01PM

From her waist down she is an obese pig, just like the other spook singer Beyonce.

Whoever says Alicia Keys is fat or anything else bad about her your crazy, she is one of the top 5 best looking celebrity's. Her body is amazing and she beautiful so get off her and stop hating. I bet jrayhol and rj dont even get girls that are even a quarter as beautiful of Alicia.

Oh please, both are sad creatures... Thier need to say only negative things,
show what kind of sad beings they are... Thank goodness, they don't have
any real power... Both Alicia and Beyonce, have tried to live in a decent manner.
What about those who would say such negative things about such young ladies...
They will just laugh all the way to the bank and have happy lives, I hope. What kind
of life will the two of you have? They can't even get any intelligent person, to spend
time with them. Thus the harsh words. They are sad and pathetic... Sigh...

rj, 3-26-2010, 8:51PM

I so sick of hearing size 16-18 is the average size of a woman --HELLO-- thats just an accuse to get away with being a fat ass. Eat right, exercise, and at least try to be a little in shape so when you walk down the street your freakin gut isn't jiggling more than your ass!!! STOP using "it's normal to be big now a days" cause it's not! If you disagree your just another fat ass trying to defend yourself.

Alicia Keyes is one of the most beautiful women on the planet -- from head to toe. She could wear a burlap sack & still outshine anyone. She has it all, looks & talent. All you who are dissing her, sounds like sour grapes to me....
