Mary J. Bilge Gets Sued
Posted in Divas, Mary J. Blige, R&B on the August 14, 2008
Reports have surfaced that Mary J. Bilge is being sued for $2 million in federal courts. A producer is claiming that the music used in the R&B diva’s tune ‘Work That’ is his and that he never gave any permission for his music to be used in the song. The reports also say that it’s unclear whether Mary J knew that the music wasn’t appropriately sourced. If that’s the case then she may be given the clear. But aren’t lawyers supposed to check all that stuff out before a record is released? Someone needs to do a lot of explaining.

This should be hot! Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige are going on tour together. The pair of hip hop and R&B icons will be going on a 26-date trek across America. The tour will kick off in Miami on March 22 and will wrap up in May.
Jay-Z released a statement talking about the joint tour and the songs they will be performing. He said “The (songs) we’re playing are the soundtracks to people’s lives. We’ve poured our hearts out many a night in the studio and look forward to going one step further on stage.” I can’t wait for it.
Silly Celebs, Steroids Are For Athletes

While we are used to hearing steroids accusations against athletes, it is less common to hear celebrities linked to the scandals. That is about to change.
According to the Albany Times Union, an investigation is underway regarding steroids trafficking. The people involved? So far the list includes Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean, and Tyler Perry.
No one’s rep would comment at this time.
R&B Divas in Fur - Mary J. Blige and Patti LaBelle

Mary J. Blige and ‘Clash of the Choirs’ star Patti LaBelle won’t let PETA, the threat of red paint or the horrors of slaughtering animals get in the way of their seemingly real-looking fur outfits. I bet that PETA is having a field day writing some letters to these two when they saw this picture.
The diva duo was snapped at Mary’s record release party which was hosted by Target in Soho on Tuesday. Don’t they just look like the best pair of Siberian huskies you’ve seen this side of the fur protesters? I would hate to be them when I know that cans of red paint are steadily being produced still.
50 and Kanye: The Diva Version
Posted in Divas, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Music People, Pop Music, Rumor on the October 4, 2007
To be able to sell more records, you have to be in some kind of competition where your fans would have to support you all the way and buy multiple copies of your album just so you win. It sort of worked for 50 Cent and Kanye West. Could it work for two divas as well?
Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige are said to be setting up their own record release date showdown. But according to SOHH.com, it’s not true. The diva duo won’t be releasing their albums on the same exact date.
Mariah would be releasing her new album first on November 20th while Mary J will drop her new album on November 27th.
