Whoa!

While it was first reported that Mary J. Blige owed a heaping $900,000 to the New Jersey state in taxes, we've come to learn that she actually owes an INSANE $3,426,255.43 in total between NJ and federal taxes!!!!!!

Believe it!

The Grammy winner ignored bills from the IRS in 2009 for $574,907.30, 2010 for $2,203,743.53, and 2011 for $647,604.60 AS WELL AS the initial $901,769.65 she needs to cough up to the Garden State.

Let us also not forget that she defaulted on a $2.2 million bank loan and the charity that is suing her for never paying back a $250,000 loan.

OUCH!

We'd advise her to break out that check book and fast, but something tells us not even an uber-successful songstress like Mary has that kind of cash!

Looks like Lauryn Hill could very well be getting a musically-inclined cell mate!

On the bright side, wouldn't they would make a GREAT singing duo??

Ruh-roh!

The tax man has cometh, and Mary J. Blige was unprepared!

The unofficial Queen of R&B was SHOCKED when the state of New Jersey recently hit her with a tax lien for $901,769.65!

Whoa!! We don't care how fancy a couch you own, that kind of change doesn't hide out underneath cushions!!

Worse yet, this ruling comes only a few months after the ah-mazing artist was targeted in a lawsuit after allegedly defaulting on a bank loan of over $2 mil!!!

Yikes! The I'm Going Down singer might be doing just that if she doesn't scrounge up piles of cash soon!

Good luck, Mary J.!! We're pulling for you!

Ahh, her beauty is timeless!

As the gloriously glamourous Mary J. Blige graces the cover of VIBE for an ah-mazing 10th time, we find ourselves shocked by how much soul music evolved since the 42-year-old first bust out on the scene.

Mary J., for her part, is thrilled with the new landscape — her heart SWELLS with pride as she claims Rihanna is the new face of music!

In the magazine interview, the Queen of R&B revealed this about the Stay singer

Whitney Houston's death will always be sad, but if Whitney could know it, we'd hope it'd bring her peace to know that her death may have saved a life.

Mary J. Blige turned to religion to help her with her drinking problem after Whitney's death.

She said:

What the F?!?!

Mary J. Blige is involved in a rather expensive lawsuit from a defendant who claims Mary has defaulted on a loan and owes $2.2 Million dollars!

We totally said that amount of money with our pinkie in our mouth while laughing in an evil manner.

The complaint was filed today by a bank in Manhattan who wants the original amount of money back plus $58,000 in interest. They say

Short of Marilyn Monroe serenading JFK, this is the best birthday tribute we can remember!

The Rolling Stones performed Saturday in London to commemorate their 50th year in the business — wow, we feel old!

Mary J. Blige was one of many talented performers to help the band celebrate the big five-zero in style!

Ch-ch-check out Mick Jagger and Mary J combining vocal talents in this ah-mazing rendition of Gimme Shelter (above) — an iconic single released two years before the talented R&B artist was even born!

Other special guests included the legendary Jeff Beck and former bandmates Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor.

This was the Stones' first gig in five years, but they clearly haven't slowed one bit!!

Mary J. Blige had an amazing night at the Lakers game!

Don't believe us? She had 37 points, 116 rebounds, and like four home runs. She missed her penalty kicks though. That's basketball, right?

LOLz!

Nah, none of that happened — but she DID go to the game and watch!

To be honest, we're getting frustrated with all these celebs going to the Lakers games though, because not one of them has brought us back a foam finger yet. No matter how many times we remind them, they always forget.

Maybe someday!
