Promo Trail: Mary J. Blige & Jazmine Sullivan Announce Joint Tour
106 & Park received the diva treatment on Monday when the object of K-Ci’s infection (this ain’t over, Kendu) Mary J. Blige and Jazmine Sullivan appeared to announce that they would be embarking on a tour together this fall.
Blige announced the trek — also scheduled to include Miguel — during an appearance on BET’s “106 & Park.”
The tour will begin October 2 in Atlanta and feature stops in New York (October 11 and 12); Atlantic City, New Jersey (October 8); and Virginia Beach, Virginia (October 3).
Blige told the “106 & Park” studio audience that Sullivan was “one of the most amazing female singers out right now in this generation, and of course, she’s got to be a part of my generation.” She added: “She’s my sister. I love this girl’s voice and spirit. Jazmine Sullivan is for real, and she’s going on the road with me.”
Quick Flicks: Ms. Hill & Friends Rock The Bells
Lauryn Hill surprised the sea of hip hop fans at Governor’s Island on Saturday by bringing out guests Jay-Z, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Mary J. Blige, Chris Rock, and John Legend to say whaddup toward the end of her set at Rock The Bells. Too bad her performance left a lot to be desired. I mean, a lot.
Even more quality flicks here, here, and here.
Star Tracks: Mary J. Blige At FFAWN + Catherine Malandrino T-Shirt Launch
Willona Woods isn’t bragging about her physical prowess [as displayed in the video of her bitch smacking Kendu] but trying to make the world a better place one garment at a time. On Wednesday she and designer Catherine Malandrino debuted their limited-edition FFAWN + Catherine Malandrino capsule collection of t-shirts at Bloomingdale’s flagship New York City store. A portion of the sales from this event will benefit the Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now.
The rest of the money will be put to good use by sending Mary’s sister LaTanya to singing lessons. Need I remind you what she sounds like?
Cuntier With Each Tear
The mark of a true entertainer is their ability to resonate with their audience. And by resonate I mean scare the shit out of them with a series of facial ticks and violent hand movements. Willona Woods almost came out of her wig during her performance last night at Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammy Gala. Somebody give this woman a fawdie water.
Courtside Candids: Mary + Kendu Laugh It Up At The Laker Show
Bitch slap? What bitch slap? Willona Woods and K-Ci’s arch nemesis were Jacked out at the Staples Center on Tuesday night sporting mile long matching smiles. The Governator’s wife even made a quick cameo to share pleasantries with the couple. It’s all good until a Laker Girl or Kardashian sashays by. Cue Nicole Wray!
Star Tracks: Rihanna, Mary, Chris, LaLa, Alicia, and Ne-Yo
Rihanna and BFF / assistant Melissa jetted out of JFK this morning. The Barbadian recently got inked up again at her favorite NYC tattoo spot East Side Ink. Her latest tat reads ‘Never a failure, always a lesson,’ but backwards. Girl, I guess.
