| KEYS BATTLES AMERICA'S OBESITY
R&B star Alicia Keys is teaming up with "Sesame Street" character Cookie Monster to tackle America's obesity epidemic.
In his new song, "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," furry blue creature Cookie Monster learns there are "anytime" foods and "sometimes" foods, and cookies are decidedly "sometimes."
Dr. Rosemarie T. Truglio, the long-running TV show's vice president of research and education, says the Street also will introduce new characters, such as talking eggplants and carrots, and guest stars will address healthy activities -- such as singer Keys talking and singing about physical activity.
