Timeless Beauty

Posted by Bossip Staff

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.

    I have searched her photo on ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” which is a casual encounter dating site. It is said that she is seeking one night relationship . Is it true?


  4. Mr. Pro….

    She does not…she has on flip flops…that look like boots


  5. 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.

  6. 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!!!

  7. Good Girl

  8. azdelish

    I think she looks nice for her age.

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

  9. 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…

  10. Good Girl

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

  11. Erm, what the HELLY?

    Mary sooo pwitty!♥

  12. 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.

    @azdelish

    What’s wrong with her tatts…*****ody 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!!!


  14. 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!!!

  15. 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.

  16. Aunt Viv

    Erm I love your gravie! So cute!

  17. 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?


  18. southernbella & Afiya….

    That is nonsense. My dude want me to get is name…I say ‘Keep On Pushin’ like your Bun B


  19. Auntie….

    YES!!! Just goes to show you…she is not “Just Mary”….

  20. southernbella

    I wish I would get another *****’s name tatted on me.

    Aint no way…

    What makes it so funny is that my friend’s boyfriend be cheating on her and whooping that ***** on occasions. I’m like THIS is the dude who you choose to put all over your body. But she think its hot. She always looking for places to get another one…

    I just smdh!!!

  21. Aunt Viv

    @Nikki,

    I thought so!


  22. Auntie…

    They even took the scar off her face…shame

  23. I'm Just Me (I DO NOT PREFER LIGHTER SKIN-TONED GENTLEMEN)

    She really looks nice here.


  24. IJM….

    Is that you?

  25. SUNNYDAYZ

  26. SUNNYDAYZ

    I ONLY WISH SHE WOULD STOP WEARING THOSE BLOND WIGS AND WEAVES … SHE AND OTHER BLACK CELEBS EMBRACE THE EUROPEAN IMAGE TOO MUCH I BLACK WOMAN WILL NEVER HAVE BLOND HAIR SO KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY ..KNOW YOURSELF

  27. 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

    second ruben won the 2nd season and she performed tha 4th season finale with elliot yamin.

    SO STOP LIEING !!!!

    I THOUGHT THE FORE FATHERS OF GAME ,SET THE WAY SO THAT UP AND COMING ARTIST WANT HAVE TO EXPERENCE THE GROWING PAINS OF THE GAME.

  28. Niobe

    She was infected with the Diddy curse and lived to tell. Now how many artists can claim the same?

  29. lil latte(had her puppies on 4th of july)

    The boots are really tattoos…j/k…mary you always look good no matter what color hair your wearing

  30. Jahpson

    she is so gorgeous!!

  31. butter pecan

    Always looking good girl. did she finally get that tat removed? Thank God.


  32. Thanks Mary j… I just bought my Carol’s DSaughter products and they are wonderful… i wont use anything else…especially the almond butter body wash!!!


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

  34. Chaka

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

  35. 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.

  36. 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!!

  37. 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.

  38. CJ

    Mary J. Blige looks like Redd Fox!

  39. 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!

  40. Hannibal

    SHE LOOKS DISGUSTING!

  41. 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.


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

  43. Tahira

    @MR STYLE

    That is so mean to say.

  44. Somer

    OK BOSSIP………………….

    HOW THE HELL DO YOU CALL MARY TIMELESS BEAUTY WITH THAT *****ED UP ***** BLOND ***** ON HER HEAD AND THEM FAKE ***** TIDDIES?

    She is the farthest thing from timeless beauty ***** you can get. Why not add Lil Kim to your list.

  45. 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 *****imilate 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.

  46. K.K

    love da pic but something aint right with it

  47. 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 …

  49. 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

  50. lucee
