Married With Other Women's Children

Wheel out the Baby Grand piano and pound-out a soaring soulful melody, because Alicia Keys and producer Swizz Beatz are married. They exchanged vows on the French island of Corsica on Saturday in front of a small group of family, friends, Bonos, and Queen Latifahs. Spiritualist Dr. Deepak Chopra was the officiant, because of course he was.

Alicia wore a Grecian-style dress by Vera Wang that hugged her growing baby bump. She wore her hair back in a low bun, topped by a 60-carat diamond headpiece created out of a necklace, PopEater reported. Swizz wore a white tux by Tom Ford, if anyone cares what men wear.

They must not have asked if anyone objected, because all the women who say Swizz has spurned them would have marched up and read aloud from their Facebooks. Swizz's first wife, Mashonda, says the newlyweds were having an affair while she was still married to him and raising their three-year-old son Kasseem, most notably posting an open-letter to Alicia on Twitter.

Another woman, Jahna, says she had a daughter, Nicole, with Swizz, and that he skipped out on the child support, even though a DNA test proved he was the dad. So far, no one's turned up any legal records to support this. Swizz does have a 10-year-old son, Prince Nasir, with another woman. As of press time, she didn't have any angry emails, Facebook updates, blog posts, or LOL Cats ragging on Alicia.

So, in light of all that, congratulations! I guess! I don't doubt that Alicia and Swizz are nuts about each other, musician-style, but let's just say if I were Queen Latifah, I'd be giving a present that's not a big hassle to equitably divide.
