-----------------------------


NEW YORK (AP) - What`s the 411 on Mary J. Blige? The queen of hip-hop soul is getting married.

Blige told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she got engaged to her boyfriend, whom she prefers to keep out of the spotlight, over the holidays.

She hasn`t set a wedding date, but said that when she does, it will be ``no big wedding. It will be a small wedding with just real friends and family. The industry is not going to know about it, the press is not going to know about it.` The marriage will be the first for the 31-year-old.

This week, Blige rereleased her latest platinum-selling disc, ``No More Drama.` It contains new songs, including a Sean ``P. Diddy` Combs remix of the song ``No More Drama.` It marks the first time Combs and Blige have worked together since he produced her first two discs, 1992`s ``What`s the 411` and 1994`s ``My Life.`

Blige said it was good to work with Combs again.

``We`re the same people, but smarter people,` she said. ``It was a lot of fun, it was like old times.`

Blige will perform at the Super Bowl on Sunday, then heads out on tour.

My thing is that if you're trying to do something private and out of the spotlight, then don't mention it at all. Now folks are gonna be all up in her face asking questions and watching her like a hawk.

She was like 19, when 411 dropped...
She just lived a ruff life... She looks 40+, but she is probably 31...

[Vronni]

I think that she is about 31. I recall her being about 21 when she came out and that was 10 or 11 years ago

[OhSoPrecious]

I'm happy for her. . . especially if she's not going to have no more drama in her life~!!! :D

[seductive_tee]

I give it a few weeks before it's leaked about who he is......

[djackso]

Cocaine, alcohol, & weed is not the ingredients for the foundation of youth. Mary has scars from abusive boyfriends & she looks younger than ever to me.

Amazing what Mac products can do, huh, djackso.....LOL :hammer

I HATE looking younger. It's a curse as far as I'm concerned.

I also agree with Mel, Mary is looking like Tina Turner in that pic. LOL :p

[OhSoPrecious]

Tastey. . . a curse~?!?!?!?! :rolleyes: :eek:

[Tastey]

I didn't think so when I was in my 20's. But now I am 37 and am constantly approached by men who are just TOO YOUNG.

I mean I don't mind dating a man whos even as much as 10 years younger but right not I have 3 college students...Yes I said college students who don't understand why I won't give them a chance. :eek: WTF?? WTS???

My name is not Stella and I ain't never lost my groove so they certainly can't give it back LOL :D

[Melotic]

I don't think so, why are people also in search of the Fountain of Youth, then...

I am get attention from the young ladies, too... It's alright by me... My own family lost track of my age... That's cause I take care of my self... I have never smoked, nothing... I don't drink like a fish, just at special events...;)

Everyone wants to be young... That's what moves this society, 75% of products on the market have something to do with looking young...:cool:

[Tastey]

But it's different for a man. A older man with a younger woman has always been acceptable. But an older woman with a younger man is perceived as desperate.

My family lost track of my age too. LOL My sisters tell people I'm 30 all the time. LOL You would think they'd could add their own ages and figure it out. LOL :p

[Melotic]

What makes you happy, is all that counts...;)
