Mary J. Blige Performs “Mr. Wrong” And “The Living Proof” On ‘Wendy Williams’
Sat Feb 4 2012 by Idolator Staff
Leave it to Wendy Williams to get right to the juicy stuff. Mary J. Blige made her first appearance on the colorful talk show, and its effervescent host sure didn't shy away from heavy topics like motherhood, marital problems, and substance abuse. The Oscar-snubbed songbird opened up about all this and more when questioned about how she can continue drinking even after a long battle with cocaine addiction. Said Mary: "I don’t need alcohol to get me out of a depression or get me out of a bad moment, but I have occasional drinks with my friends." The diva also had time to perform "Mr. Wrong" and The Help soundtrack's "The Living Proof." Watch it all below.

Mary J. Blige’s “Mr. Wrong” Video Is Without A Mr. Wrong
Mon Dec 19 2011 by Becky Bain
The video for "Mr. Wrong", from Mary J. Blige's My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act I), begins with a music box opening up, but instead of a tiny rotating ballerina, we see the soul queen holding onto a stripper pole. (Note: do not get your underage daughter a similar music box for Christmas.) Unfortunately for us, Mary's Mr. Wrong — aka, Drake, who appears on the track — is MIA from the chill clip. (Ditto that for his verse.) Let's get this straight — you got Drizzy for your song, but left his presence completely off the single? Wha? Explain the method of your madness, Mary! More »
