These are photos of Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz at the “Keep A Child Alive” ball last night. As you can see, Alicia doesn’t have much longer, does she? She’ll probably give birth in the next month, I’m thinking. Oh, wait. You didn’t even notice her pregnant belly? Why is that? Oh, right. Because Alicia Keys is trying to start a forehead-bling trend. ‘Licia thinks she’s fashion-forward, and a trendsetter. Lock up your baby-daddies, Alicia Keys is starting trends!

But back to the forehead-jewelry… I can’t even. And this kind of junk is in my genes – Indian women do this kind of thing. For special events, they’ll do elaborate facial jewelry, like attaching a nose piercing to a bejeweled earring, attached to an elaborate headpiece. It can actually be pretty if it’s part of a whole “look” and it’s for a truly amazing occasion, like a wedding or something. Alicia also attempted to rock some forehead bling on her wedding day:

I gave her a pass for the most part. I thought she was just trying to draw the eye away from her pregnant belly. But now I just think she’s trying to make this a real style choice. Another thing that bothers me is that the forehead piece doesn’t seem to make any sense with the dress or with Alicia’s other jewelry. Blue-grey dress, diamonds… and then a cheap, budget-looking (faux?) ruby-and-pearl forehead accessory.

Of course, I’m also disturbed because Alicia has permanent smug-face these days, like she won some kind of jump-off prize when she married Swizz. ‘Licia, he’s going to cheat on your ass too, girl.
