The superstar is preparing to launch a female empowerment website, called IAmASuperwoman.com (IAAS.com), this autumn, and signing up Alexis Tirado marks the end of a campaign to find her 'head blogger'. She partnered with employment website Monster.com to find the right person earlier this year.
The ad read: "With IAAS.com, I'll be displaying my 'voice' in a different way and need just the right person to help me express a point of view that I don't think exists yet in the blog world."
New Jersey native Alexis Tirado landed the highly-coveted position. And Keys introduced Tirado to the crowd during her Good Morning America showcase in Central Park. The singer told the crowd, "This right here is the lovely lady named Alexis Tirado who is now the head blogger of iamasuperwoman.com. Congratulations!"

arah Palin is pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-gun and supports oil drilling both offshore and in ANWR. She has publicly questioned whether global warming is man-made.
Her husband, Todd Palin, is an Alaska native whose grandmother was raised in a traditional Yup'ik Eskimo house. Employed for two decades in the oil industry, Todd is a production operator, a member of the United Steelworkers, a commercial fisherman, and a four-time winner of the Iron Dog snowmachine race (along the famous Iditarod Trail.) His wife has been known to call him "first dude."
Sarah's political views are consistent with her conservative Christian beliefs. The mother of four when she became governor in 2006, in December 2007 she was pregnant with her fifth child when prenatal testing revealed Down syndrome.
A member of Feminists for Life, Sarah did not consider abortion. She gave birth to Trig Paxson Van Palin on April 18, 2008; Trig is Norse and means "true" and "brave victory," and Paxson is a region in Alaska the couple favors. (Van Palin is a nod to the rock group Van Halen.)
The other Palin children have equally unique names. Son Track (18) is in the Army and will deploy to Iraq. Daughters, Bristol (17), Willow (13) and Piper (7) are in public schools.
The Anchorage Daily News has called Sarah Palin "the Joan of Arc of Alaska politics" and " one of the most popular local politicians in America." Anchorage radio host Dan Fagan says, "She's a hockey mom, she lives on a lake, she ice fishes, she snowmobiles, she hunts...she has a float plane," and in his opinion, "she's as Alaskan as you can get."

She was born on the 8th of June 1983 in Bilzen, Belgium. Her father Lei was a professional soccer player. He was the first Clijsters to win sports trophies. Her mother Els is a cancer survivor. Clijsters also has a sister named Elke. Clijsters first picked up a racket when she was 5. That was when she realized she wanted to play tennis. At first, Clijsters thought it would be fun to pursue tennis as a hobby, but she was so good at just a hobby. It was obvious that a young Clijsters should be in juniors. With Lei Clijsters� incredible soccer career, the young Belgian never had trouble finding the money for coaching, traveling, and whatnot. She apparently didn�t have trouble in juniors either as she breezed through it. A couple of those trophies include a 1998 French Open Juniors doubles title, and a runner-up title at the 1998 Juniors Wimbledon. It was very clear at this point to Clijsters and her coach Carl Maes that she was ready for the WTA Tour.
When Clijsters was not very known to anyone on the WTA Tour (now know as the Sanex WTA Tour); she had won 3 satellite titles even. But she began to be some word of mouth on her premiere year of 1999, at Antwerp. After competing in the tournament as a �lucky loser,� Clijsters reached the quarterfinals. At her first Grand Slam which was Wimbledon, Clijsters reached the 4th round after upsetting the 10th seed Amanda Coetzer in the 3rd. Although she lost in the 4th, at least she fell to her idol Steffi Graf. Her final phenomenal show at a Grand Slam was at the U.S. Open. She reached the 3rd round and faced the eventual champion Serena Williams. The loss looks as if it would be Clijsters' biggest regret. The U.S. Open and Wimbledon were just the beginning for Clijsters.
Directly after the U.S. Open, Clijsters was at the Seat Open in Luxembourg as a qualifier. At the all Belgian semifinal, Clijsters beat World No. 2 Belgian Sabine Appelmans, and in the unexpected final, she pounded World No. 1 Belgian Dominique Van Roost. Her ranking benefited too, and reached No. 47 as a result of winning her first WTA Tour title. She followed that tournament with a final showing at Bratislava. She lost to Amelie Mauresmo, but finished the year in the Top 50. Kim is now in the Top 10 after two years of rising to the top.

American actress Bernadette Peters was a five-year-old performer on Horn and Hardart's kiddie-talent radio program, and by age 11 was appearing on Broadway in Most Happy Fella. Peters achieved national fame in 1968 with her campy performance as Ruby, the 1930s-style chorus girl protagonist of the off-Broadway musical pastiche Dames at Sea. The role demonstrated only one aspect of her talents, but nonetheless threatened to typecast her as a squeaky-voiced dumb blonde.

Bernadette scuttled that stereotype herself as leading lady in the 1969 Joel_Grey musical George M. The following year she played Mabel Normand opposite Robert Preston's Mack_Sennett in the musical comedy Mack and Mabel, which, though a failure, has become a staple of community theatres. (The amateur Mabels have an ongoing tendency to imitate Bernadette Peters). In 1976, Peters costarred with Richard_Crenna on All's_Fair, a Norman_Lear TV sitcom that showed neither star to best advantage. Reluctant to leave her native New York City, Peters has nonetheless occasionally travelled to Hollywood for an off-and-on movie career. Hilarious as a babaloo-ing cabaret entertainer in Silent_Movie (1976), the actress was even better as the long-suffering wife of goony Steve_Martin in The_Jerk (1977). She was reunited with Martin in Pennies_From_Heaven (1981), an uneven but fascinating attempt to juxtapose the fanatasies of 1930s popular music with the grim realities of Depression life. Offscreen, her relationship with Martin was intensely romantic for several years. Feeling unfulfilled in Hollywood, Bernadette Peters returned to Broadway in the mid 1980s, reclaiming her Dames at Sea prominence tenfold in such musicals as Sunday in the Park With George, Song and Dance, and Into the Woods, nearly unrecognizable in the latter in her heavy makeup as the wizened witch of "Hansel and Gretel" fame.
