It seems like more and more Hollywood women are taking a trip to the gun shop.

Now, adding herself to the list, Alicia Keys says she is considering buying a gun for protection.

Alicia Keys wasn't going to take any chances walking by herself at night as a young girl, so she made sure to keep a secret weapon in her pocket.

Alicia admits she used to carry a knife when she was a child. The singer - who grew up in tough Manhattan neighborhood Hell's Kitchen - has revealed she felt safer when she carried a weapon.

Sultry, R&B artist Alicia Keys made her boyfriend wait a year to have sex with her.

The singer has rarely spoken about her relationship with boyfriend Kerry "Krucial" Brothers until now.

Rapper Kayne West has reportedly asked his 29-year old girlfriend, Alexis, to be his wife while the couple were on a recent two week vacation. The marriage will be the first for the couple who have been dating since 2002.

Kanye's career almost ended prematurely after he was involved in a near fatal car crash four years ago. However, the hip-hop star turned the experience into a hit song, 'Through The Wire', which featured on his debut album 'The Dropout'.
