American R&B singer-songwriter, pianist and actress Alicia Keys was recently confirmed as the face of Glaceau’s Vitamin Water brand in a deal reportedly worth $50 million to the star.

With this, Alicia, 27, will follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Aniston and rapper 50 Cent, who made $400 million from his deal with the company last year. The ‘No One’ singer said she decided to partner with the drinks company after finding she couldn’t stop drinking the unique-tasting beverages.

“I don’t partner with anybody, but this really was natural for me because I’ve been a fan from the beginning,” she said. “I love their personality. Have you ever read the bottles? Don’t you just feel naturally smarter when you read it?”

Meanwhile, Alicia also hit the headlines last week with the news of her collaboration with White Stripes frontman Jack White to record “Another Way to Die”, the theme song for the new James Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace” due for release this November. This will be the first time a duet will be singing over the opening credit lines of a 007 film.
