Mary J Blige graces the cover of Vegas magazine. Here’s a taste of the interview:

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 [says] 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.”

Mary knows all about getting her hustle on. She’s been holding it down consistently since she first entered the game. No doubt Ms. Blige’s got that diva-tude on lock.

    Gosh, that damn wig…is it glued to her head…is that why she refuses to change it…or is that what Kendu likes… *sigh*

    She looks beautiful though…here.

  • Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (fka Keepin’ It Real – D’Original)

    Get ‘em girl…

    You know they gonna talk about your hairdo, but f#ck ‘em you got Kendu, a lotta money in the bank and you doing “just fine”…

    Looking good – Very Nice!!!

  • Good Girl

    Can Mary PLEASE change her hair color!!?? Damn!! Sick of seeing that blonde wig, weave…. whatever it is. Come on Mary girl>>>retire that color

  • azdelish

    I think she looks nice for her age.

    She does need to get rid of the tats…..

  • Aunt Viv

    LOL@WyzePro,

    With your comment about her earlier today, I’m now smelling Campbell’s soup!

    But real talk, Mary is longevity personified. ‘Tasia and those other AI cats can learn from her…

  • Good Girl

    I love Nikki Underwood>>>>>>> funny as hell!! U make my day brighter girlfriend

  • Erm, what the HELLY?

    Mary sooo pwitty!♥

  • bree

    LOL @ WYZEPRO!

    Mary looks good cleaned up..she seems really comfortable with her style these days..i guess she feels the blonde/tan/neutral colored-clothes/knee-high boots will never fail her.

  • southernbella

    @azdelish

    What’s wrong with her tatts…nobody says anything to Angelina about her tatts…

    Black people are so quick to talk about one another. Mary reps for the hood. She has been through a lot. I dont see nothing wrong with her tats. At least they aint all on her neck with.

    I will admit that I hate to see women with their baby daddy or locked up boyfriend tatted on them. That is just horrible. I have a friend that has her man’s name tatted on her like 5 times. One for each time he been locked up!!!

    WHOA! now ain’t that GHETTO!!!

  • southernbella

    @Afiya…

    I know right! She got the neck tats and all. Now, I’m all for tats but at least get them in places where they can be covered or places were they wont affect you getting a job.

  • Aunt Viv

    Erm I love your gravie! So cute!

  • Aunt Viv

    It’s a lovely cover (wig and boots nonwithstanding-she definitely needs a style intervention on those issues). Wait, did they photoshop her arm tat?

  • MS K

    I feel some hating on her part about america idol. First of all a good singer will go far no matter how quick stardom comes.

    IS THAT JAB A FANTASIA???

    SOUNDING LIKE FAITH HILL WITH CARRIE UNDERWOOD

  • Niobe

  • http://braibrai@yahoo.com ms braided beauty chi towns own ‘slides you were right about Cabrini Green LOL!

    Butter pecan… i am all of a sudden craving ice cream .. i love pralines and cream!!!

  • Chaka

    I noticed how they increased her boobs and get rid of her tats. I wish they do something about that Carol Channing wig. Other than that, she is beautiful.

  • My son’s parole officer said it’s gonna be alright!

    Mary looks beautiful. I understand the point that she was trying to make but, if a person has a chance to get fame this way, than do what you have to do. I don’t hate anyone for how they get their fame. Some people are in the right place at the right time when they were discovered and some people had to work very hard. That’s just the way things work.

  • kenya

    i like the wig/weave color on her, i love mary for what she was and what she is now. the hell she went through is what makes her music so good. if she hadn’t had those struggles i doubt she would be as succesful…go ‘head Mary!!

  • R.R.

    MARY YOU JUST KEEP DOING YOUR THING MA, MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAM. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN AND WILL REMAIN ONE.

  • CJ

    Mary J. Blige looks like Redd Fox!

  • 2cute4u♥♥♥

    I respect her, but I’m not a Mary fan like a lot of people are. I just don’t see what all the hype is about her. Don’t dig the blonde wig!

  • Hannibal

    SHE LOOKS DISGUSTING!

  • Capital Peach

    Where are her tats? Make-up cover-up? I’m sorry, I’ve just never been a Mary fan, but I applaud her for making it this long in the game.

  • http://www.empressofmusic.com MrStyle

    Mary is one ugly untalented woman but she has some good songs!

  • Tahira

    @MR STYLE

    That is so mean to say.

  • ItoyaSo

    How much more “white”ified can Mary look? It’s no wonder she and Lil’ Kim are friends. SMH @ black women who get famous and instead of showing pride for their accomplishments as African American women, they get famous and start to assimilate into the white world. It’s disgusting that in 2008 so many sisters have no sense of self worth or pride in their own race.

  • K.K

    love da pic but something aint right with it

  • z100

    love da pic but something aint right with it

    i could not have agree more

    they dont celebrate they blackness – they more

    into the white world, or try to be white…with the blond wig, the bleach skin, and knife face, and then they give these little speeches i am so proud to be black …

  • Celebrity CSI

    If anybody know about struggles since entering the famegame it’s Mary J. We done heard every nook & cranny of her tumultuous life. I don’t watch AI…& never have but I’d rather instant fame than reliving…or should I say listening to suicide on wax. Mary cool though…now. lol
