The New York Library is usually home to a hushed silence and book enthusiasts, but on Monday night it hosted the cream of the fashion fraternity, plus a fair sprinkling of Hollywood stars, including [Scarlett Johansson] and [Alicia Keys]. [Scarlett Johansson] and co-star [Alicia Keys] were sporting striking new looks in New York this week. The platinum-haired actress had swopped her bombshell locks for a decidedly more demure brown 'do, while her trademark sexy dresses had been replaced by casual shorts. Alicia was similarly transformed, with a mop of unruly curls and floral outfit that were a world away from her more familiar sleek on-stage persona. Five-time Grammy winner [Alicia Keys] is on a private visit to Africa to follow up on her work with Keep A Child Alive, a US-based organisation also supported by [Oprah Winfrey] which is working to raise Aids awareness and treatment. Many of America's hottest stars were in the mood to get the party started early when <I>Rolling Stone</I> magazine threw a glitzy nominees bash in advance of Wednesday night's Grammy Awards ceremony. Couple-of-the-moment [Tom Cruise] and Katie Holmes enjoyed an enthusiastic reception when they appeared in glitzy Las Vegas at an electronics industry event that drew a roll call of major entertainment names. Soul diva [Alicia Keys] proved that her vocal talents aren't her only stunning feature when she took to the red carpet in Los Angeles on Thursday. The 24-year-old made light work of stealing the show when she turned out for a movie premiere dressed in a figure-hugging, off-the-shoulder creation. Glamorous stars like [Naomi Campbell] and [Alicia Keys] are well aware that the Big Apple offers a dizzying number of upmarket eateries. Local New Yorkers would have been forgiven for feeling a little surprised, therefore, when the two A-listers arrived for a gala event in Manhattan with their lunchboxes in their hands.
