Alicia Keys gets her Oprah Winfrey on

NEW YORK (AP) -- Alicia Keys has influenced many lives with her soulful, heart aching piano-driven songs for almost a decade.
Now that the Grammy-winner has established herself as one of music's brightest stars, Keys is ready to inspire others - without singing a tune.
Keys is launching AK Worldwide, a company that will handle the 28-year-old's projects outside of music.
The first is The Barber's Daughters, a handcrafted jewelry line engraved with messages of hope. Keys will also launch a Web site, iamasuperwoman.com, devoted to spotlighting inspirational women and causes.
Keys says her creative work as a businesswoman has spilled over to her music - and that's reflected on her upcoming CD, "The Element of Freedom," to be released Dec. 1.
On the Net: http://www.aliciakeys.comWhat's the difference between this and one of those pretend news articles in papers that's slugged "Advertisement"?
You keep running such PR, CURLEY (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!), and no amount of charging for "
exclusive content" will help.
