MJB Does Good Deeds

Mary J. Blige is not stingy with her paper:

Last week, Blige was at the Diane von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District when she overheard a girl having a problem at the register. A spy said, “The girl had a dress on hold that she loved, and the bill was $900. She thought it was only $500, and she couldn’t afford it.” Blige told the saleswoman, “Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress.” The customer at first declined Blige’s offer but relented after the singer said, “I know what it’s like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist.” The customer wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Blige said, “Just enjoy it. I’m blessed, so let me do this.”

That’s the stuff we like to hear. Kudos to Mary..

  • Give me a break!

    Helping someone buy a $900 dollar dress. Please she could have help someone who really needed it.

  • Madame Enigma

    That’s my girl…

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    Both good deeds. Good to hear.

  • Lauren

    As for Kelly…good for you!

  • swoosh

    good enough for me

  • Vinandi

    she’s looks beautiful!!!

  • Paint it Red

    High 5 to Nina Knows for the insightful observation: “she should have took that money and bought her ass a black weave”

  • rosemarybaby

    please this bish could have gave me 900 worth of damn gas now that is a good deed

  • I’m Just Me

    That is wonderful!It is great to see both of them doing something to help others.

  • Nikko

    Mary can do whatever she wants with her money, but I do agree that I wouldn’t give someone an extra $400 for a DRESS that they obviously couldn’t afford.

    Do you know how many times I’ve walked into a store and saw something I really liked, but looked at the price tag and said “No way. This is WAY overpriced for a garment”? That lady should have done the same thing instead of helping Diane von Furstenberg become wealthier while she’s borrowing from her mortgage or rent to purchase a dress.

    That’s just down right ridiculous.

    Yes, Mary, you ARE blessed, but my way of helping people like that customer is telling her where they could get a similar dress for MUCH less.

  • Nikko

    Rosemary…

    “please this bish could have gave me 900 worth of damn gas now that is a good deed.”

    THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING!!!

  • MeMe

    IT’S NOT ENOUGH THAT SHE HELPED SOMEBODY. PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE TO COMPLAIN. MARY IS INVOLVED WITH SEVERAL CAUSES. THIS IS MAKING NEWS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE SELLS CLERK AND THE GIRL TOLD PEOPLE. THAT GIRL WAS PROBABLY EXCITED AS HELL TO LET PEOPLE SHE IS KIND. GET OOF HER. SHE SAW THE CHANCE TO HELP AND SHE DID. DAMN.

  • finally17nluvinit

    i got a phone bill that 60 dollars,…i kno u culd spare some change 4 that.

  • Johar From Algeria

    Kudos to Mary J, she’s really kind. We all can help, at least with 1 dollar.

  • Teezy

    Go ahead Mary! It doesent matter if that dress was $9.00 or $900.00 that girl had saved her money to try and get it. We all have saved money to buy something expensive that we really want. People dont hate on that girl or Mary.

  • Aunt Viv

    That girl had no business spending on stuff she couldn’t afford. But good Mary for her generosity.

  • Aunt Viv

    And I’m even more impressed by Kelly.

  • ME MYSELF AND I

    o goodness

    thank god for mary

    i dont know what that woman would have done….

    if mary wasnt there …she is the savior

    THIS IS NEWS ….mary changing the world

    *snickers*

  • YOU NOT ME

    @keesha stupid comment

  • ME MYSELF AND I

    @ you not me

    your comment is also stupid

    she need to dontate that money to a real charity

    to help needed people —- that woman didnt have to get a $900 dress she could have settle for a dress that she can afford ….

    FYI: if she can afford a $500 dollars dress she dont need mary help…

  • YOU NOT ME

    also the caption say DOING A GOOD DEED, not saving the world, that was a good deed people, a good deed, that’s all, something she didn’t have to do.

  • bria

    That is why I buy everything that she does. She is just a girl from around the way who has made it big. Not trying to put on some Jackie O image.

  • ME MYSELF AND I

    @you not me

    quit while you are ahead

    cause your comment still dont make sense

    plz read my comment again

    did i mention her drug use …..

  • CNS

    The Kelly and Mary stories should have been posted in reversed.

  • Barry B

    the story is funny but sad, helping that girl buy a 900 dollar dress. Both she and Mary are out of order! ! !

  • N’awlins Native

    This is one hell of a materialistic world. Tell me when Mary offers to fill up some tanks or buys groceries to help out a single mother or family. Not when some hoodrat, whom I sure doesn’t own a bit of property needs a dress to go the the club. She should’ve taken her ass to H&M!

    Why is it that white people like Brad and Angelina do more for our people than we do?

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    God Bless Those That Giveth….

    Let the Church Say, Amen!

  • yanib

    I’m mad at the girl in the store trying to buy a dress she couldn’t afford. Get your ass to Target.

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    *Blesses…..my bad

    He Blesses the giver.

  • Dfiestyone

    May God continue to bless them!!! Kelly is so pretty!

  • YOU NOT ME

    @me myself, you confused baby i was talking to keesh who said that , i was saying that to her, so you need to quit while your still behind. you got in on something that was not even meant for you.

  • Roxie Heart

    Love the fact that your name is “on dat piff & ciroc”. I’m trying to be down. LOL

  • ME MYSELF AND I

    gosh girl go away

    move on

    wow!!!

  • Always Classy

    Some of you people are so simple. Mary is not the one bragging about this or trying to get recognition. She just so happened to be there and offered to help. If this mess is even true. How do you’ll know what she gives out to orginazations? You don’t so quit trying to judge. Being jealous is truly a sickness!! Green is not a good color on some of you’ll.

  • goldyn5md

    can i have 900 for my rent Mary?????

  • ME MYSELF AND I

    @goldyn5md

    good one

    i wonder if she would give it to you

  • oN dATpiFf & cIRoC

    THANK YOU @ ALWAYS CLASSY…..you’re soo right I wish more ppl thought that way!

  • SuckaFree

    OH MY! I’m not feeling Mary’s outfit here. Her pants need to be a bit longer w/those heels.

  • http://braibrai@yahoo.com ms braided beauty chicagos own

    brad and angelina arent the only people who help blacks…. oprah, jay z, beyonce,Bill Cosby, and a lot more have helped africans… brad and Angelina are one of the few whites who help… its great that mary was generous but i agree she could have helped a more deserving person… come on now a 900 dollar dress is a little way out unless you are beyonce1

  • LdyK

    I think it was nice of mary to want to help that young woman. So what if it was a dress, she was at a store…not a charity event. it’s Mary’s money to do what she pleases. give her a damn break. Mary is a good-hearted person.

  • bree is an OBAMA supporter.. YES WE CAN!

    Mary’s outfit is wack as hell

  • MDM.ORG

    I love Mary but I think if the girl had the money to buy a $500.00 dress she wasn’t that broke that she couldn’t get the other $400.00. I know Mary makes alot of charity contributions and its her cash to do as she pleases, but on this one I wish she was helping someone with rent then buying a dress. Yet it was a nice thing to do regardless.

  • NoWay

    If your net worth is $500 then you dont need a $900 DVF dress. Go to Forever 21 and buy the knock off joint. GTFOH

  • CLASSY

    Forget the dress, where is a bottle of lotion for her stepsons legs?

  • Ms Sharmaine

    Kudos to Mary!

    How many celebrities would be that generous?

    Mary is beautiful inside and outside!

  • http://myspace.com/afiya00 Afiya

    The deed was okay…but that outfit Mary has on is not the business…she looks jacked from head to toe…and sunshades in the evening is not the business as well…guess you don’t want people seeing the windows of your soul huh Mary…is it that bad?

    Poor Kizzy, she be tryin’…gots to give her credit…

  • Hi Haters!

    I hope the broke chick in need wasn’t some white witch!! heck given the area {meat packing district} it probably was some already wealthy white woman who get’s things her way all day…when will black folks stop helping white women?

  • Kassie BK 4lyfe

    THATS Y SHE SO BLESSED!!

  • Chanel Shades

    I just saw some black Chanel shades for $470, I got $13 you got the rest Mary?

  • Celebrity CSI

    Nevermind the aid…..did MJ look in the mirror before leaving home? OK, does she even own one? Somebody please google that & get back. lol

  • Suge Knight

    What are ya’ll muthaf*ckas stupid? that was a complete set-up for publicity! remember a few years ago Oprah had a show about good wigs vs bad weaves, one girl in the audience couldnt afford the wig she liked, so Oprah bought that sh*t for her, No the girl is still fat and ugly with a bunch of kids, but at least her head looks presentable……….

    Oprah didnt care about the other problems in her life because she was’nt white and 40.

  • Suge Knight

    Oh and do some research, i bet that dress was the same size as Mary!

  • http://braibrai@yahoo.com ms braided beauty chicagos own

    I just said beyonce for a name .. i know she has way more money than that plus i am just glad they are helping someone africa or who ever damn!

  • http://braibrai@yahoo.com ms braided beauty chicagos own

    damn damn damn… its just a gossip board! not a declaration for a world war battle! aint none of this information putting any money in my pocket so its just opinions!

  • Mr. Marcus ™

    buying someone a dress is not charity nor something to pat yourself on the back over

    i still love Mary

    Real Love!!!

  • Chanel Shades

    Mary I’m waiting at the register, you got me? Hurry, I really need these shades.

  • Chanel Shades

    Mary security is asking me to leave the store can you send Kendu with the money?

  • Betty

    how bout giving the balance of the dress to the homeless guy outside the shopping building

  • TEEDY

    Y’ALL KILL ME ON HERE. YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT HOW THE GOOD DEED WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT WHATS STOPPING YOU FROM HELPING AFRICANS, FEEDING THE HUNGRY, BOARDING THE HOMELESS. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE RICH TO MAKE A DIFFERNCE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN BUT DON’T DOWN SOMEBODY ELSE. FUKK, IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD BUY ALL YOU HOES A $500.00 DRESS. LET HER SHARE THE LOVE/MONEY ANYWAY SHE WANTS TO.

  • Nikko

    LMAO @ Chanel Sandals!!!!!!!!

  • bria

    What a beautiful family. When you allow yourself to be happy and too open up and allow love in instead of just giving it out but a combo of giving it out and recieving it it’s a beautiful thing.

  • MDM.ORG

    Whatever.

  • http://braibrai@yahoo.com ms braided beauty chicagos own

    i know whatever!!!!

  • MS. G

    What I would do with $900, fill up with gas, pay rent, buy groceries, pay balance on my tuition, but I say what Mary was trying to do like many others said it’s so many other dresses the girl could of opted to buy knowing that it wasn’t in her budget unless she had Mary money, which e didn’t so Mary can I get some assistance.

  • beautiful b

    DAMN THATS BEAUTIFUL, YEAH WE CAN ALL NAME ALOT OF OTHER THINGS TO DO WITH DAMN NEAR A THOUSAND DOLLARS, BUT MARY WAS BEING REALISTIC SOMETIMES WE JUST WANT A PRETTY DRESS AND CANT EVEN AFFORD THAT, LET ALONE PAY A BILL.SHE WASNT TRYING TO CHANGE THE WORLD JUST BRIGHTEN SOMEONES DAMN DAY AND THAT WAS THE GIRL SHE HAPPENED TO RUN INTO. GO MARY!!!

  • Somer

    This is basically a story about black spending. If she was trying to purchase a dress for $900 that she obviously could not afford, I will be willing to guess their is something in her household that is being neglected…………..kids, rent, gas, electric, etc….

  • kori

    So many people complaining about a kind deed. She could of minded her own business, paid for her clothes and walked out of the store with her fat bank account. Sometimes there are people at the grocery store $1.00 short and not one person will offer to help them, some of you on here included. Too self involved with your own problems to show any care or concern for another human being. It is call compassion, or empathy for your fellow man. Some of you on here who have none. Shame on you all for criticizing a kind gesture.

  • Ms. Doagae

    ….and is it just me or is Kelly Rowland just a wee bit over-dressed to be doing anybody any good?????

  • You Smell Me

    the point is, that Mary helped someone who WANTS something.

    “I know what it’s like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist.”

    Im sure she has charities, as all people who make millions do. She saw someone in a bind and she helped them out. If any of you people were in that situation you’d be happy as hell….

  • RiveGauche2006

    Hey can someone help me with my avatar please?? i tried but it did not upload. thanx.

    n2winin2000@yahoo.com

  • ATL

    Mary does charitable work, she doesn’t forget where she comes from. But one moment, when she helps a sister out that was probably feeling real salty at the register, it’s a problem?! People are never satisfied, MJB could have feed thousands of kids in Africa by now, but because she gives up $400 to help a woman buy an expensive dress, people all over her?! Go ahead Mary, damned if you do, damned if you don’t…because if someone had seen you there and not helped that girl, you still would’ve had people criticizing you for being cheap! And most importantly, that’s her damn money!!! Who are we to tell that woman what to do?!

  • brwnbarbie

    I think it was nice of Mary to do that. It’s crazy how people shyt on anything that someone does to help someone else. It’s not like Mary doesn’t do anything to help the needy. She just happened to be in a store where a girl couldn’t afford the full price of the dress and picked up the tab. That is no reason to belitte her. That girl definitely had to know she needed a nice chunk of change if she was shopping in Diane von Furstenberg because her clothes are not cheap! And what Kelly is doing is definitely noble.

  • De

    The family looks nice. The kids, especially the boy, almost look like her. Kendu, be nice to my girl.

  • Kaya eliot

    Mary is involved in a lot of other the deeds and charities also!! Go to her fan web-site. It is just that sh_t like this is the only thing that makes the news!!! Get over it

  • jhnelle
