Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys: New Marriage and Old Debt

Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean has 99 problems and his chick ain't one. The newlywed music producer , 31, has been honeymooning it up on yachts in Corsica, France with his new wife singer Alicia Keys, 29, like he doesn't have a care in the world. Technically he shouldn't, after all, he did just wed one of the most intelligent and graceful women in R&B, but according to recent news, Swizz has found himself in a boatload of trouble.

Shortly after everyone viewed the secret wedding photos of Swizz and Alicia marrying in Italy, we could barely get out our oohs and ahhhs before tax documents surfaced showing Dean owes $2.4 million in taxes. Accumulating since 2006-2008, the total is part of a larger seven-year debt due to 35 different tax liens from the IRS.

Keys certainly has money of her own -- as does Beatz, who, according to Forbes, made $8 million in 2008 alone -- but what is going on here? Should Alicia have dug a little deeper before walking down the aisle? Maybe money grows on trees in the Dean household, but with more than 30 tax liens, child support and tax debt in the millions, Keys might have benefited from taking a moment to think before walking down the aisle.

If you want to look effortlessly chic this look is the way to go this season. To show you why the romper is the must-have item to own this summer we have put together two day and night looks for under $100. Frugal and fab--it doesn't get any better than this!

Evening Style: Dress Your Romper Up

ROMPER STYLE TIPS:

Fit & Fab: The right romper fit should not be skin tight. We suggest buying one-size up from the size you would normally wear. The short part of the romper looks best when it hangs loose around the thigh area. If you're a woman with hips, avoid rompers with short pockets which have a tendency to make you look wider. Don't choose a romper that falls too short unless your legs are tight and toned (such as the lovely ladies above). The most appropriate romper fit should fall in the half way point between your hip and knee. To accentuate your shape add a belt to the look to help cinch your waist.
