Looks like Alicia Keys is letting fame go to that pretty head of hers. Here’s what a gossip source posted about her antics in London recently:

Alicia had flown into town to promote her amazing new album The Element of Freedom and was initially more than thrilled to be offered the grandest suite of all at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge.

But upon arrival on Monday morning Alicia was far from happy. Despite the suite being used to accommodate stars of the caliber of Michael Jackson and Madonna over the years, Alicia hated it. In fact the star – who’s riding high in the charts with Jay-Z on their Empire State Of Mind track – turned on her heel and walked away from what would have been a three-day stay – worth an estimated £5,000 – at the plush London gaff.

My source reveals: “The hotel had been in discussion with Alicia’s team for a week, preparing her suite with her favorite flowers, scents and goodies. The hotel’s Rib Room entrance on Sloane Square had even been closed off at her bodyguard’s request for her arrival. But when they saw the Luxury Suite, Alicia and her people asked for something bigger.

“They were told there wasn’t anything bigger and that the Luxury Suite was the biggest and best in the hotel.

“Basically, Alicia took one look and said she ‘didn’t feel the vibe’. And when she does that, she’s not joking, so the whole entourage piled into her limo and left.”

    Im sure there’s more to the story than that. That story isn’t even plausible. Keys is too down to earth for some petty mess like that. I think there was something really wrong for her to turn down that type of perk. Like stained sheets or some type of misrepresentation of the accommodations. What she just became a diva overnight?? She just stayed locally in my town not too long ago in surprisingly low key but posh hotel for 3 days. If she can do that, Im sure she won’t mind star treatment at the Jumeirah Carlton unless there was something really off.

    I agree with Schelby

    Alicia personifies the delicate balance of beauty and intelligence. It is indeed rare to find these two traits residing in one person simultaneously. An additional trait that is inherent to Alicia Keys is down-to-earthiness. I do not believe this journalistic fodder. Maybe she did not approve of the hotel security? Maybe the hotel had lost its luster since Michael Jackson’s stay? Maybe the accommodations were not up to par? Maybe she just wasn’t feeling it? Whatever her reason for departing, she had every right to reject the hotel. The hotel suite wasn’t free. It’s Alicia’s hard earned money that will pay for whichever hotel she deemed appropriate for temporary residency. It’s her money; her chose.

    It pays to be the boss: hard work, determination and focus, makes it possible to have discerning taste about anything and everything that you choose.

    I’m just saying.

    Dhe’s not a diva. or a woman with an oversized ego (unlike lots of singers)…she’s a H-O-T-T-I-E!

    That’s not being a diva, that’s getting what you want when you are kicking out your $$$. That’s called smart. If it was free and she complained…that’s another story.
