Just yesterday I said to myself I wouldn’t post anymore pics of pseudo-celeb Amber Rose unless she was wearing something spectacular. The professional beard was spotted leaving the London Hotel in NYC yesterday.
Troubled golfer Tiger Woods was photographed working out in a local Bally’s Gym in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania yesterday. He’s in Philly for the AT&T National tournament this weekend. Tiger hasn’t won a golf tournament since coming from self-imposed exile following that accident in Windemere, Fla last year. Rampant rumors that his estranged wife Elin will get $750 million in a divorce settlement are false. According to Forbes, Tiger isn’t even worth that much. GirlsofPhilly.com/INFphotos.com
New Music: Mary J Blige ft. Jay Sean – Each Tear
Remember when I told you guys that the music industry is going in a different direction away from Hip Hop and R&B? Here’s more proof in this new video for Mary J Blige’s “Each Tear” off Mary’s album Stronger With Each Tear.
Aside from the obvious fact that her duet is with a non-black artist, do you notice how the video features extras who are mostly Caucasian and mixed children as opposed to Mary’s core demographic?
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.
