It will be a big hoop-de-do

Grammy-winning singers Alicia Keys and Shakira will perform during halftime of the NBA All-Star game.

The league also announced that Usher will perform at the Feb. 14 game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Keys will sing her hits “No One” and “Empire State of Mind,” plus “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart.”

Shakira’s performance will include “She Wolf” and “Give It Up To Me.”

Usher will perform his single “More” during the player introductions.

Spicing things up

Victoria Beckham will co-host “The View” next month.

The singer, model and businesswoman (and wife of soccer superstar David Beckham) will be a guest co-host of the weekday talk show Feb. 17.

Beckham’s appearance will be her first as a featured guest co-host. Her first-ever guest appearance on “The View” was last September.

In 2007, the Beckhams were featured on “View” creator Barbara Walters’ annual “10 Most Fascinating People” television special.

Baby with the bathwater

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen says she gave birth to her son in her bathtub.

The wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said she wanted to be aware and calm during birth, so she decided to have her first child, Benjamin, at home on Dec. 8.

To prepare, she says she did a lot of yoga and meditation.
