Mary J. Blige Foots Bill For Young Shopper

Published: Wednesday 18th Jun 2008 by Sam
Mary J. Blige Foots Bill For Young Shopper Mary J. Blige showed her generosity whilst on a visit to New York recently. Check out the report via the NY Post:

MARY J. Blige has a heart the size of her record sales. 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.”

Good on Mary…

Any thoughts?

    I agree w/ Soufian. They need to stfu. Mary did a good thing! She didn’t have to get the dress, she could have purchased her stuff and bounced. lol Go Mary!

    I didn’t expect for MJB to do that… that’s really nice… Now I’ll see her differently (I’m a fan of what she’s doing… I got all her albums but I never really was into the woman herself)

    But wait a minute… Does it means that finally u’ll have soe Mary help in luxury shop only?

    that was really sweet of her. i like hearing stories like this.

    and to the dumbass that said most celebs would do the same thing. please name one celeb who did that exact same gesture out of the kindness of their hearts and not for publicity reasons?

    awwww. Mary is so awesome, and no- NOT EVERY OTHER CELEBRITY would do it. Some, but not all. I think Paris Hilton did something similar not too long ago.

  13. LoveyDovey June 18, 2008

    I couldn’t see some of the younger celebs doing what she did cause what she did came from the heart. She didn’t do it just 2 look good infront of the cameras.

    that was a good gesture, and i am so proud of mary j because she has matured and blossomed into extrordinary woman,and i may add, she developed alot of class which is a good thing. for the haters, if she didnt do that for the young lady, then you would say that b****, or why she cant give back or some dum s***. you cant please people , that is why she write songs like hate it or love it and take me as i am assholes.
