Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott and Alicia Keys all get their own Essence Magazine cover for the month of June. The magazine is featuring the 3 ladies in their annual “Black Music Month” June issue and all three are doin the dayum thang! You can check out a sneak peak of the interviews over at Essence.com.
Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute held a press conference the other day to announce the start of their new organization. The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, Inc. (FFAWN) is an organization whose mission is to inspire women from all walks of life to reach their individual potential. Through scholarships, grants, and programs that foster strong self-esteem, career development, and personal growth, FFAWN is intended to help women gain the confidence and skills they need to achieve success. FFAWN will initially focus its efforts in Yonkers, NY and surrounding communities in Westchester and then expand its scope to include the Greater New York area and, eventually, the entire country.
Mary J. Blige performed on the Today Show this morning and dammit I missed it. I’m still searching for the clip and will update this post when I find it, but in the meantime I recommend playing Growing Pains on your iPod and clicking on each pic real fast. The effect is what I call a “BBC” Broke B*tch’s Concert. Try it….it works!
*UPDATE* ~ Ok…stop the BBC! Watch the interview and the performance after the jump!
Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z turned out New York’s Madison Square Garden Friday night during their 30 Something Heart of the City Tour. I guess the wardrobe is the same for every concert cause these pics look the same as all the others I’ve seen. I still love me some Mary though so I’ll keep posting em! Click here to read what the NY Post had to say about the concert.
Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige took a moment out of their busy tour schedule to give Tavis Smiley an interview. Jay touched on how Roca-Wear was founded and Mary…well…she’s just plain ole Mary!
