Murry J. goes 'Kendu' on her band

Mary J Blige forgot her manners, stopped her band from playing then publicly chewed them out in front of Hollywood A-listers and industry execs at a Clive Davis sponsored pre-Grammy event inside the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom Sunday evening.

Legendary Michael Jackson bandleader Greg Phillinganes, later said that Murry was right to stop the music and correct them as long as she didn't throw the mike at him again .

In other post Grammy news, what if Beyonce invited Aretha to sing background on 'Halo'?...something similar happened when rock icon Stevie Nicks joined country-pop princess Taylor Swift to sing a high school love anthem on stage.


They look like Mike spit them out hisself...

Body Language

Mary J. Blige and her husband Kendu and Monique and her husband Sidney walked the red carpet at the premiere for Precious. A person's body language says a lot about how they feel about you...

Murry.....

...on this month's Essence. Can't they find somebody new to do these covers?

T.I. feat. Mary J. Blige "Remember Me"

Just in case you were wondering, T.I. was busy before he reported to the slammer. I wonder how long it'll be before Tiny makes a "special announcement" on her reality show?

Mary J. Blige on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon (06-12-09)

I eagerly awaited Mary's Friday night appearance on June 12th, mostly because I thought she was going to perform. Mary came out and chatted for a while promoting her new fragrance and her Tyler Perry movie, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself." Mary did not perform. I have no idea whose idea this was, but singing is her strong suit. It would have been beyond cool to hear a MJB jam session with The Roots.
