Mary J Blige On Love and Marriage: Consider The Source

“Marriage is a challenge. I have never been married before. You have no idea how marriage has changed me. I have never been with a man who says he loves me as much as [Kendu] does. I didn’t believe in anything like that, I’m challenged to believe in him and trust him and it’s hard, but I’m doing it. Growing Pains is about trying to trust a man when you’ve never trusted one before. “

Your title is "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" do you think any other artists deserve to hold the title after you?

Mary J Blige: You know what I honestly think? Anything to do with being a queen and a leader comes with responsibility. There’s a lot of people that qualify talent wise, but as far as strength to get through this stuff, none of them qualify. What are they doing? They may be talented, they may be pretty, but they have to also have heart to be given the title of a Queen. This s**t comes with responsibility. You can't just lead people; you have to love people as much as they love you. I love my fans. I mean I have sacrificed so much for my fans. I started to speak to them and I have never stopped. It feels really good that my life has saved someone else’s life – that my whole ministry has touched some girl out there.

Okay We Get 50 Cent, But Why Would Mary J. Blige, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean Be On Somebody's Steroids?

Music's Top Black Artists Named In Shocking Steroid Use Scandal

Citing unidentified sources, a report is alleging that all these brothers and sisters, along with award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry, may have received or used performance-enhancing drugs.

While the Grammy-winning Blige blasted the report, others were much more on the hush-hush.

Guess it wasn't enough to get Marion Jones and Barry Bonds, not that we're feeling particularly sorry for either one of them right now.

Law-enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate the celebrities broke the law. For now, at least, officials are focusing on the doctors, pharmacists and clinics providing the drugs.

Albany District Attorney David Soares launched his investigation into steroid trafficking last year.

So far, 10 defendants have pleaded guilty and some professional athletes have been linked to the probe in news reports. Records shared with the Times Union and information from several cooperating witnesses on Long Island indicate the celebrities received prescribed human growth hormone or steroids. In some cases, aliases were used for their delivery.

Hot Photos: Red Carpet Regulars Beyonce, Ne-Yo & Mary J. Blige Don't Disappoint At The 2007 American Music Awards

International Artist Award winner Beyonce looks like a butterscotch pecan scoop of "Oh Yeah!"

Classy never goes out of style, right Ne-Yo?

Mary J goes Gallactic, but it works.

Is Ashanti heading to the Academy Awards after the AMA's? This burst of yellow was a bit too much for our taste. Some long white gloves and she'd be all set for Winter Formal.

Whether he's at dinner with ex Lisa Bonet or at the AMA's, Lenny Kravitz looks exactly the same. But is that a good thing???

Idol winner Carrie Underwood and loser Chris Daughtery won big tonight. Is Jordin Sparks next? Well, at least she looks the part.

We love us some Alicia Keys, but she looks 4-months preggers in this black number.

Sean Kingston, we'll talk about you after you go home and change! NOW! Hurry up!!!!
