Big Boi is back with his second solo effort, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, and the above is his first single “Sumthin’s Gotta Give” featuring Mary J. Blige.

So…. its a rumor going around that Mary J Blige has resorted back to smoking weed and drinking heavily and her marriage ain’t doing so well. Recently, she cancelled her tour in New Zealand and Australia in exchange for laying around in hotel rooms, ordering junk food, and arguing all daym day with her husband, Kendu. They say that Mary J Blige is just letting herself go…but I don’t know how true the rumor is, so I will keep you guys posted.

Mary J. Blige looks absolutely stunning on the cover of Vegas Magazine… Bellissimo! In her interview with the Sin City mag, she sheds light on the music industries newest talent maker…Mary J. Blige has a certain distaste for this country’s favorite pastime, American Idol. But she won’t admit it outright. “I haven’t really watched it since Ruben [Studdard] won,” the singer tells me after cutting her workout short and grabbing the phone at her New Jersey home for our interview. But whether she likes it or not, she does think the juggernaut show does the contestants a huge disservice. “Honestly, it’s not giving most of them a real chance to become an artist for the rest of their lives,” she explains. “They are on national TV every night. They have automatic fame. All of the greatest artists had to struggle for their success.”
