Mary J. Blige Loses Her Cool in Front of Hollywood Royalty
It’s easy to tell when a sistah’s love life is lacking by the way she treats others around her.
According to online reports, Mary J Blige forgot her manners and chewed out her band in front of A-listers and industry execs at a pre-GRAMMY event inside the Beverly Hilton’s international ballroom last night. They say just as the band was about to strike up Mary’s hit “No More Drama”, Mary began flailing her arms and demanded to know, “Can we get the right music for Mary J Blige?”
[For the benefit of those who don't know, a classic sign of narcissism is when one refers to oneself in the third person.]
Anyway, she added: “Are we practicing still?” as the audience, which included Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, Usher, Taylor Swift and Joan Collins, looked on in disbelief because clearly, the band was not practicing, and it is not proper to disrespect top notch musicians at such a high profile event.
Mary eventually got herself together and continued her performance, and the well-heeled audience gave her a standing ovation, which was probably meant for the band.
Greg Phillinganes the legendary musical director of Mary C Blige’s band said later that the diva was right to halt the music and diss the musicians.
He explained that his ear piece wasn’t inserted properly and he hadn’t heard what the singer had said. Although I’m not sure what that has to do with Mary’s bad manners.
PICS: 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards
Rihanna won the award for best dressed at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards!
Former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland FAILED last night with this ill-fitting lacefront wig contraption. She might need to hit up Misa Hylton-Brim for a few pieces from her new wig and extensions line.
Singer/songwriter Keri Hilson more than made up for her fashion miscue the night before in this elegant number from Dolce & Gabbana. Isn’t she awesome?
MORE pics after the break!
Beyonce Is So Insecure
I woke up this morning to an Inbox full of emails about Beyonce’s insecurity revealing itself (again) during last night’s GRAMMY Awards telecast. I didn’t see it, but I’m told that Beyonce showed her azz after Jay Z gave Rihanna so much attention.
Apparently, Jay Z left Bey to cool her heels in the audience while he took Rihanna and Beyonce’s nephew Daniel (Solange’s son) onstage with him. Beyonce couldn’t just allow Rihanna and Jay Z to have their moment in the sun. She’s so insecure that she felt the need to remind the world who her husband is (as if we somehow forgot in all the excitement).
It was a pathetic power play by Beyonce that wasn’t even necessary when you consider that Rihanna prefers light skinned dudes anyway.
Bey later kept up appearances for the photographers by posing with her nemesis, Rihanna for a few flicks.
But as Wendy Williams would say, ‘the truth is written all over Beyonce’s face’.
