Alicia Keys fans in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio will have to find another way to see the R&B singer, as she skipped her tour dates at those locations.

Keys skipped those stops - Pittsburgh Tuesday (April 22), Ohio yesterday (April 24) - due to swollen vocal chords. According to Reuters, she is expected to resume Saturday (April 26) in Columbus, Ohio, where tickets from the Cleveland show will also be honored.

The tour, which is to promote Keys' latest album, As I Am, is another similar loss, as opening act 2007 "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks has been unable to perform due to an acute vocal chord hemorrhage. She is expected to return in May.

The adopted bi-racial son of Tom Cruise is set to portray a young Will Smith in the upcoming movie "Seven Pounds."

According to the Associated Press, Connor Cruise's role in the film is a minor, non-speaking part that was filmed over the course of two days, more than a month ago.
