Alicia Keys is currently filming The Nanny Diaries here in New York City with Ben Affleck and Scarlett Johansson. Apparently she’s taking the whole acting thing pretty seriously.

When asked if she’d be contributing music to Diaries, Alicia had this to tell MTV.com:

“Probably not,” Keys replied. “You never know, but even with the other movie, it wasn’t about doing the music for the movie. I think later on I’ll try getting into acting as well as doing the entire soundtrack. But right now I want to focus directly on the acting.”
Alicia however is in the studio and says she wants to work with John Mayer (who is a major D’angelo fan).

“I love his writing style. He’s funny, very witty,” Keys said of Mayer. “I think we’ll do some writing together. Linda Perry, our styles combining would be very interesting — a soulful Rock/Blues thing. John Legend would be an interesting collaboration. We were on tour together but we never sat down and vibed and wrote. I want to do some interesting collaborations, things that are different, and see where it leads.”
