The Queen of Hip-Hop R&B just purchsed her palace!  Singer Mary J. Blige just paid $12.3 million in CASH for her new digs in Saddle River, N.J.  Althought it seems like a lot of dough, MJB got a huge deal!  The house originally went on the market last year for $17 million and was reduced this year to $13.9 million.  Ja Rule, Wyclef Jean and the Rev. Run of Run-DMC are all nearby neighbors.

Check it out after the cut…

Blige’s newly constructed eight-bedroom house – built on 4.2 acres and modeled after a French country manor – features a 14-seat movie theater, a fitness center, a hardwood basketball court and an elevator.

It also has a gourmet kitchen, eight bathrooms, a spiral staircase and a wine tasting room.  (Source)
