R&B singer Mary J. Blige is featured on the cover of the July 2008 issue of Vegas Magazine.
BY: ISOUL HARRIS » Mary J. Blige has a certain distaste for this country’s favorite pastime, American Idol. But she won’t admit it outright. “I haven’t really watched it since Ruben [Studdard] won,” the singer tells me after cutting her workout short and grabbing the phone at her New Jersey home for our interview. But whether she likes it or not, she does think the juggernaut show does the contestants a huge disservice. “Honestly, it’s not giving most of them a real chance to become an artist for the rest of their lives,” she explains. “They are on national TV every night. They have automatic fame. All of the greatest artists had to struggle for their success.”
Kim KardASSian (that girl has a fat ass, fake or not, and me likey!) and her boyfriend/fiancee/future baby daddy/whatever Reggie Bush were spotted leaving Koi restaurant in Los Angeles last night. Too bad you can’t see that ass in these pics =( Random question: When do you think Kim’s gonna get knocked up?

Blige walked the red carpet alongside actresses like Thadie Newton and Paula Patton and all looked fabulous even though most of the dresses worn at the event last night were surprisingly low-key and safe considering the theme.

(Photo: Wire Image) According to Shameless Hype, Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z got some “splaining” to do! Jay and Mary had to postpone their Oakland, CA show, which was originally scheduled for Sunday night, to last night. They, of course, killed it on stage. No surprise there. But according to a source close to Jay-Z, the two got drunk and had so much fun the night before in Vegas that they decided to push the show back one night … to get some rest, I suppose. But that’s not the story they told their concert-going fans. They lied and said they had some “technical difficulties,” when in reality, they just didn’t feel like performing in front of a non-sellout crowd. Check out the e-mail below:
“What’s good, i’m a employee on the Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige tour and im also a native of Oakland. As you may had heard, the show was postponed due to some ol bullshit excuse of technical difficulties, but I know for a fact that nothing was wrong other than the fact that Jay and MJB were in no rush to get to Oakland, because they were too busy getting drunk in Vegas and wasnt trippin off performing in front of a non-sellout crowd in Oakland. I am sending you this because you guys are repping the bay and I was make sure that my town knew the real reason behind this. Please do not release my email address, because a brotha still needs this job with the show. Peace!”
