For me, it isn't about the few hundred dollars Mary J. Blige gave to a shopper. It is more about the wonderful gesture and the lasting memory she provided to a woman who couldn't afford a dress that she fell in love with while shopping at Diane Von Furstenberg.

Someone was complaining about high prices and Mary overheard. A woman couldn't afford a dress she was trying to save up for and Mary stepped in and covered it.

According to MTV News, Miss Mary said,

"I know what it’s like to want something and not be able to have it."

The happy shopper bagged her dress and then asked for Blige’s details so she could repay her. But the generous singer said,

"Just enjoy it. I’m blessed, so let me do this."

So very nice of her!!

Mary J. Blige is exhausted! So much in fact that she had to cancel this week's Australian / New Zealand tour. The dates have been postponed because Mary litereally is beat. She just couldn't make the trip from England where she is currently performing and is extremely disappointed.

"I am so disappointed that I won’t be able to make it to Australia and New Zealand for the June tour as planned. I want to thank all of my wonderful fans who supported the announcement of my first tour in these countries and I can’t tell you how excited I was to come down in June and put on a show for you all. Postponing these shows has been an extremely difficult decision for me and I am sincerely sorry that I will not be able to fulfil my tour commitments."

The dates for Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand will now take place in November.

Here's a random group of celebrities for you.  Helen Mirren, Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige all arrived at the Letterman show last night.  Helen looks pretty funny trying to pose for a picture while talking on her cell phone...and they say women are good at multi-tasking :)

One of the many amazing perks Jay-Z gets for dating Beyonce is being able to use her celebrity to help promote his many ventures.
