Contrary to reports circulating around the Internet, Swizz confirmed to Life & Style that he won’t be tying the knot this weekend. ”I’m not getting married this weekend,” he said with a laugh. “It’s interesting though, seeing the stories. People are very creative!”
While Swizz didn’t want to give away too many of the details, he did dish on what Alicia will be wearing. AsLife & Stylereported in this week’s issue, the singer will be a gorgeous bride in Vera Wang and Christian Louboutin. “I’ll give a shout-out to Vera Wang for doing the dress and Christian Louboutin for doing her shoes,” Swizz said. As for the groom? “Louboutin’s doing my shoes too!”
The couple, who also have a baby on the way, met 13 years ago. “She started doing her thing the same time I started doing my thing, and we had a mutual friend that introduced us,” Swizz reveals. “So I’ve known her throughout both our whole careers.”
And Swizz, who is already a father to two boys, isn’t too picky about whether his third child is a girl or a boy. “Whatever God brings my way. I’ll go for a boy; I’ll go for a girl. I just want a healthy baby who will be blessed,” he says.
Wow! Rihanna and Alicia are pulling their star power together to find a bone marrow donor for Shannon Tavaraz, an 11 year-old Broadway star who plays Nala in “The Lion King.” In April she was diagnosed with an acute form of leukemia.
In a statement to People Tavarez says, the news “really hit me hard.”
Her struggle also struck a chord with Alicia Keys and Rihanna. The singers, who both started their careers when they were young, decided to help get the word out that Tavarez needs a bone marrow transplant to live. Keys says she was touched when she visited Tavarez on July 2 in the Long Island hospital where she receives daily chemotherapy treatments.
“For her, the sky is the limit, but now she’s fighting for her life,” the mom-to-be, who is asking fans to become donors, tells PEOPLE. Keys hopes Tavarez and other patients like her to have the chance to “grow up to live their dreams.”
Rihanna seconds that sentiment. “[Tavarez] should be performing on Broadway, but is confined to her bed, fighting for her life,” Rihanna tells PEOPLE. “She needs to find a bone marrow donor to survive. I urge all my fans to register [as donors]. It’s the most beautiful thing someone could do, to give the gift of life.”
The original asking price for Lenny Kravitz’s 5 bedroom, 7 bathroom, 5,818 sq. foot New York penthouse was $19.5 million back in October of 2007. Now Swizzy, Alicia and baby can enjoy the penthouse for a discounted $14 million and stroll around SoHo in utter bliss. What a shame. It looks like the ultimate bachelor pad.
