Thanks to Prince Williams of ATLPICS.net for these images of R&B legend Mary J Blige and Oscar nominated actress Taraji P. Henson partying hard together in the ATL over the weekend. Can you believe Mary just turned 38?
On the other hand, gorgeous Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson is older than Mary J Blige but looks ten years younger than her stated age! This is what clean living looks like.
I honestly don’t know what the whole story is behind these pics of Mary and CSI: Miami star Adam Rodriguez. A witness who was there said, and I quote: “Mary and the guy from CSI: Miami got into it in the VIP”. My source could have been mistaken, but at one point during the shouting match, Mary’s friend Taraji tried to intervene, but was held back by her close “friend” Chaka Zulu (Luda’s manager). In the interest of fairness (and because we are dealing with a legend here) I reached out to a respected industry veteran who was also in the VIP with MJB and Taraji. But unfortunately, he was not entirely forthcoming about what transpired between MJB and Adam. Despite the apparent tension between MJB and Adam in the pictures, the industry veteran said there was “nothing going on” between MJB and Adam. So we are left to draw our own conclusions about what happened.
I’m told that Mary’s BFF Taraji tried to intervene after Adam “pointed at Taraji” but she was held back by her “friend” Chaka Zulu, Luda’s manager
But, according to witnesses, Taraji broke free and got in Adam’s face. Don’t you LOVE how Taraji stuck up for her girl Mary while the men in the room just stood back and did nothing?
Mary was finally led out of the VIP by security. But many questions remain as to what took place.

INTERESTING, DON’T YOU COMMUNICATE WITH LUDA? I READ VIA TWITTER SHE WAS IN HIS HOME OVER THE WEEKEND, MAYBE HE CAN CLARIFY A FEW THINGS FOR YA. LOOKS ALL KINDA CRAZY FROM THE PICS THOUGH.
Mary please don’t ever leave the house without a lil make up unless you are going to the store trying to keep a low profile. & you know I love ya girl so I wouldn’t tell ya nothing to hurt yout.
@ topic yall let that I’m a change women mess fool yall if ya want. Mary has always been known for her fierce tude. Some things will never change. You step out of line she will put you back in. Remember she was going to kick that chick from Vibe Magazine azz behind the comments she made.
That’s why you have to love Mary. She keeps it real no matter how much money and growth she has.
The pictures don’t go with the story IMO. If Adam (love him) and MJB got into it, why would Chaka not intervene and then pulled Taraji back if she tried to calm the situation down? And how many BFF’s can Taraji have?
I wonder if MJB was on a power trip and ran into someone who didn’t give a eff who she was or was it a simple misunderstanding
Morning Fam!
@Ice I did not let MJB fool me at all. She still has a tude thats just her. I have a cousin who LUVS her some MJB just like you do.
She can’t act worth 2cents so I will be interested to see if she steps up for this new role.
I’m going to wait on Eastpoint’s version… I know he was there!…
@CK LOL
CK … u in da kona for that … lol .. lol
HOLLERINNG … lol .. lol
@ CK now see… its too early for that… see now… that’s EXACTLY what I was thinking.
ckarin you is on punishment. yes ma’am. making me weak like that with laughter.
however, i will join you in that kona and wait on his commentary as well. bet he was wearing the latest and the greatest too.
@Ice Yes I went to Utopia. I left early the crowd was a little young and I was tired (I didnt get my usual Sat nap). The decor was nice, food was good and the DJ was JAMMIN! My gfriend said they stayed until 3am I was knocked out by then..lol

Industry men avoid getting into altercations with each other because, depending on who comes out on top, the end result could be career-ending. But they have no trouble calling women b*tches and hos and letting men beat women down in front of them.
@ ckarinwhite and kwallace577:
please go check my last comment in the AG Ent. Secret Society post from Friday.
Sandra you need to go back and read that AG post cause we have added new comments..lol
Sandra,
you said more?? LMAO!!
On Topic: I would be very annoyed if a photog was taking numerous pics of me while I am pissed..

Hello All, I absolutely LOVE Mary J. She has truly blossomed into a beautiful and talented singer over the yrs. And her figure? To die for! She used to have a badonka butt but now? Childddddddddd, she could teach us healthy black women a thing or two, that is if we want to lose weight. (Most of us LOVE our big butts!) YOU GO MARY J, alllllllllllll the way to the bank. Peace.
Adam Rodriguez is such a cutie *sighs* but you don’t argue with my Mary J. not at all. And any man that’s sits and goes back and forth with a woman is very suspect in my eyes. I think Adam is GAYYY! Just something about him gives me gay vibes. Oh well he was beginning to be too pretty for my taste anyway. Does anyone else think he reminds them of a younger version of that Puerto Rican guy from NYPD show?
“HOLLERING”
yeah sandra i saw it. and you too made me weak. laughed so dayum hard and then got light headed from doing so. poser.
“i was driving by uptown lounge and i saw mary being lead out by security…THEN my boy i went to school with (cause to hear him tell it…summa errybody was his classmate) gave me the spots vacated by them in the VIP…i was wearing the pieces i have from andre 3000 clothing line…”
I wondered why the line at Uptown was down the street Sat night. Now it makes sense.
@Kwall to the KONA..lol
@ Daisy I feel you on the young crowd. But there is nothing better than a good DJ.
This story isn’t being reported anywhere else. Sandra you should’ve had this topic with the words Exclusive up. I want to see how long it takes to get the full story.
In that first pic Mary looks like she is thinking… I will fvck you up.
& WHERE THE HELL WAS KENDU AZZ AT? Any other time he is right up her azz. She can’t even make a commercial without him there. Now a man is jumping bad & he is MIA. The next story better be Kendu beats the pulp outta Adam.
Now I love me some MBJ but she has a known tude. Maybe Adam said he wasn’t the one and she wasn’t going to be japping off at him like that. So if a man stands up to a woman talking chit (not that I’m saying the above is the case because we don’t have the whole story) he is suspect? WTF! Can I please have a you know you suspect/gay when….book because it’s just getting out of hand. What can’t a man do to be suspect or gay these days.
Morning family!
*Stepping back out*
@Ice I dropped down low and swept the flo with it one to many times I hurt my knee..lol
@Shauny I feel you. Send me a copy of the book when you get one..lol I know being in the A I am quick to call somebody/something suspect but in this case I don’t see how it was thrown into the mix.
Ya’ll crazy – however East defends his statements….LMAO!
LMAO @ Daisy….girl, we are too old for all of that…
I hope Taraji doesn’t call herself an item with Chaka….WHAT IS IT WITH HIM….he is so not cute to me and yet he gets all these leading actors, and co starahs in his mix…..Chaka must be hung like a horse..?? Why hasn’t anyone hooked up with LUDA??
@Krysi J…I am with you on Chaka. What is it about him?
Why can’t Tariji and Chaka really just be friends? I don’t think she is dating him.
@Yvonne I am not trying to claim being old just yet..lol I just need to make sure I stretch real good next time..LOL

Actually, I was told by a VERY credible source that Chaka Zulu was “escorting Gabby around Atlanta” while Luda was on the road touring and Gabby was staying at Luda’s house all alone. Chaka ran interference for Luda at various industry events with Gabby to conceal the fact that Luda and Gabby were an item. But u didn’t hear any of this from me.
@Daisy-LOL. A good stretch wouldn’t hurt at all!
How is Gabby and Luda an item when she is supposed to be with Dwayne Wade? Did she move on? I’m SO confused
I don’t understand why Luda would even go that far to cover up their relationship….I know Gabrielle had to feel real low. One thing I have to give credit to B and J is for having the ability to stand against all adversity concerning their relationship…they let everyone say what they wanted to say, and just make it happen simple as that. It really doesn’t take all that distraction shyt….I mean truthfully, it ain that serious. Chaka making himself look crazy to me, cuz Im like weren’t Gabby and Taraji friends? And at the same time Im like he running thru all deez females ain he married, and even if he aint why would somebody on Taraji’s level want him?
*side note*
and whats this I hear about Chingy smashing Trannies?
@Krysi I saw that as well and I have a gfriend who loves her some Chingy. I need to email her that story..lol Ohand B and Jay played the private role as well you know they were together way before they went public. He just wanted her to hit 21 1st. Jay and B do nothing for me as a couple. If they like it I love it glad they are happy but they have never moved me.
“Don’t claim ya azz is ready when you’re not cause if you play me out I’ll blow up your spot. & I don’t care where are, or what you say, or what you do. & I don’t care who you with it could be ya bitsh or even your crew. I never thought that I would have to step to you….”
Ice…..what are you singing about boo?
Sandra I had always heard that it was Luda and Gabby too. I actually heard they recently had a pic up on Twitter (I refuse to join) of him and Gabby having dinner and posting some sarcastic comment about them. It’s like that now because err body know she’s banging D-Wade but I have always heard that they were undercover lovers and not Gabby and Chaka.
@ Krysi I was listening to the song & this topic popped back in my head as far as her attitude. Thought the words for fitting for the occassion.

Extremely suspect! Look how he’s pointing his finger in Taraji’s face. Where were the MEN?

No. Remember back when Gabby and Chaka were constantly photographed together at various events? Well that was to throw rumor mongers off the scent and conceal the fact that Gabby and Luda were an item. Their relationship was on the hush hush tip because I didn’t find out the truth about them until last month. I was convinced that Gabby and Chaka were kicking it. But I guess Chaka did what a manager does to protect his client. Anyway, supposedly someone else learned about their romance and set Luda’s crib on fire. But you didn’t hear any of that from me. OK?

***********************************************************
I need EVIDENCE!
I just had to google that Luda story… dizzam.
I thought Luda was still with his daughter’s mother. I even spotted him once with a ring on the fourth finger of his left hand. Gabby had to be the one that wanted this relationship on the hush hush. She is the Beyonce of the acting world. Overexposed.
Don’t see how him keeping that relationship under raps would hurt him.
Gabby has always irked me as an actress. She plays the same role (not very well I might add). Cute girl but not that good of an actress IMO. Her and Luda would make a cute couple. Maybe her and D Wade were only friends who knows. Men and women can be just friends.
@39 I see men and women argue all the time. So now that makes a man suspect. Go figure!
Men that argue with women are LAME!!! I’ve NEVER met so many envious dudes until I moved down here.. SMDH!
So Mary’s back on the juice?
Envious men, lame men, groupies, “models”, wannabes, industry folks etc are in more cities than just Atlanta. I see why my gfriend who is an original GA peach doesn’t like the new yorkers who move down here only to diss the A 24/7.
@Ice I caught up on Living the life series over the weekend so I am a life..lol I did see where they added Trey Songz 00711 to the Oceans crew. Necole made a comment that Usher has gotten MIA since Trey was added but I doubt that is the case. Usher has 2 young children to help tend to.
Let me school ya’ll ladies like my faggy friends have schooled me on nyggas behavior. A straight nyggas not gonna keep going back and forth arguing with a female. They just aren’t its not in their character. They are gonna say their piece (call a girl a bitch or hoe) and keep it moving or call up a female friend or family member to handle their light work. Gay nyggas argue and do all this back and forth with females. So from my eyes looking at these pics and reading what allegedly went down I think Adam is gay if this is indeed true.
You ladies must be talking about Adam Rodriguez being a butt surfer? Yes, his tea has been spilt all over my Inbox. I’m trying to clean it up now.
@Zuley and how do you know what was said and how long they supposedly went back and forth? Thats what I thought. I dont know if Adam is gay or not could care less. Do men LIKE to argue NO but will they heck yes! Gay men are Queens of course the LOVE drama and to argue.
@Daisy I said “from my eyes looking at these pics and reading what allegedly went down I think Adam is gay if this is indeed true.” And I just checked out his interviews on youtube and he is quite team tang to me there was no masculinity present AT ALL! He was definitely serving a plate of prettyboy realness. How you doing Adam ALRIGHT! See I like real nyggas like Monica’s hubby Rocko thats a straight nygga for you. Adam Rodriguez… is a queen and was probably tryin to let Mary know he is the only real queen diva in VIP that night and she wasn’t having it.
Ya’ll are crazy if you don’t think he is gay he has a lisp and everything watch the video below. I wouldn’t trust him around a hot dog or banana.

As I said before I could care less if Adam is gay or not he doesn’t do anything for me and real nygas like Rocko can be just as GAY as Adam “thugs” like him are the real deal DL brothers! Since you want to be dropping so much knowledge
