New York - Backstage in a dressing room at New York University's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, lit by bright "Hooray for Hollywood" lights along the mirrors, Alicia Keys stands.
She is giddy.
"I just got this new belt," she says to my camerawoman and me as we meet her, showing it off.
Indeed, the new belt is stylish. It's brown, low-slung and has a little pocket attached to it on the side. Her schoolgirl-like glee over her new accessory is fitting, as she is about to walk into an auditorium full of college students.
