  • Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood Rock Baby Bumps at Global Citizen Festival

    Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood both rocked their baby bumps of varying sizes at the Global Citizen Festival in New York on Saturday. Alicia Keys is expecting her second baby with husband Swizz Beatz. She announced her pregnancy back in late July. Their baby is due in December. Carrie Underwood is expecting her first baby with hubby Mike Fisher. She announced that she was pregnant on September 1st.

    Alicia Keys took the stage ahead of Carrie Underwood in Central Park on Saturday. In fact, Keys opened the show with a beautiful rendition of ‘We Are Here.’ As part of her ‘We Are Here’ peace movement, she was accompanied during her opening act by singers from both Israel and Palestine.

    Carrie Underwood took the stage a bit later in the show doing an awe-inspiring cover of R.E.M.’s song, ‘Everybody Hurts.’

    It was abundantly clear that Alicia Keys is pregnant. She wore a white button-down shirt with white tank underneath and white pants for her Global Citizen Festival performance. Her baby bump is more than evident, however from behind one would never guess she is expecting.

    Carrie Underwood camouflaged her tummy with a black minidress. It no doubt warmed the hearts of all her fans to know that under that dress, her tiny baby bump is growing.

    Did you catch either Alicia Keys or Carrie Underwood’s performances at the Global Citizen Festival on Saturday? The concert streamed live and then was broadcast with some of it pre-recorded for airing on NBC on Saturday evening. Tamron Hall served as host.

    If you did see the show, which act impressed you the most? Or were you more drawn in by the stories of those who are working to raise awareness for the Global Citizen movement?

  • Pitbull Sues Spirits Company Over Vodka Recipe

    Pitbull is suing the E. & J. Winery & New Amsterdam Spirits Company for naming their new vodka recipe the ‘Pit Bull.’ The rapper trademarked his name back in 2000 and alleges that the company has been using his trademark in their efforts to promote the alcoholic beverage. The drink is made up of 2 parts New Amsterdam vodka, 1/2 part lime juice, 1/2 part grapefruit juice, and parts lemon/lime soda.

    Pitbull endorses Voli vodka, which is featured both in his music video Give Me Everything and in the lyrics of his song Rain Over Me.

    “[Voli] gave me a great opportunity to be an owner of a brand that I really believed in,” he told the Los Angeles Times when he first became involved with the brand. “That’s why I got involved with Voli. It’s in a market where it’s needed and everybody wants it.”

    The rapper is now demanding that the E. & J. Winery & New Amsterdam Spirits Company provides him with compensation for their earnings made from the Pit Bull. He also wants them to stop using the name immediately.

    A couple of months ago Pitbull’s Voli brand was targeted in a lawsuit over a young man’s death at the scene of one of their promotional events. A boat featuring the Voli logo ran aground, prompting the captain to ask for help from the promo attendees. One of them got too close to the engine and was killed at the event.

    Pitbull’s Voli brand is a low-calorie fruit-flavored vodka line–not completely unlike the Pit Bull the defendant’s company was serving.

    In happier news, Pitbull appeared at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night where he performed his new song We Are One. The song debuted on Friday.

    Do you think the rapper will win his lawsuit or will lawyers argue that he doesn’t hold a trademark for the different spelling of his name?
