Mary J. Blige covers VIBE magazine [Full Spread]
Mary J. Blige covers the latest issue of VIBE magazine. Here’s what the 41-yr-old entertainer had to share:
On when she feels most beautiful: “When I’m made up and dressed and my heart is good and I feel happy. I’m not going to lie and say I feel beautiful when I have on a hair scarf and I’m running to the gym, I feel confident, but beautiful? That’s a the red carpet.”
On when her husband thinks she looks the most beautiful: “When I’m running to the gym [laughs]… He always tells me, “You don’t need all that stuff.”
On how her husband would describe her: “I think he’d say I’m a sweet person. Of course he’d also say I’m crazy because I’m a woman [laughs]. We’re not crazy! Men, they look at us and want to know, “What’s wrong with you?” Uh, the same think that was wrong last month. The same thing. It’s funny, yo.” More >
Mary J. Blige Covers LA Confidential Magazine [Photos]
Mary J. Blige is featured on the latest issue of LA Confidential Magazine. Check out the images from the shoot and some excerpts from the interview below.
On her addictions: “What I did was I chose to learn how to drink socially and it didn’t work. The test comes when you have to decide whether you’re drinking to be social or drinking to cover up something again. To cover up depression. To cover up guilt. Shame. Abandonment. All of that, man. Once I realized, “There you go again,” I had to stop. Whitney Houston’s death really affected me. Her death is another reason I stopped. I really do think I’m done. I looked at how that woman could not perform anymore.”
On her support for same-sex marriage: “I would say this to those people: I’m not God. God said not to judge anyone lest you be judged. That’s it. Who am I to point my finger? You’ve got to walk in love. To say you do not want people to be happy is so mean, so not me.”
On how old she was molested as a child: “I was 5. Mmmm … yes. I was 5. I don’t want to go into the details. It’s something that hurt me really bad. I’m still the same way. When I open up to trust you, I trust you wholeheartedly. And then when you betray that trust, it closes me up.” More >
