    This girl BETTER have cords to be on Mary’s label.

  2. skinnyredchick(NEWORLEANSBOUND)

    well her name sounds silly, but she’s really pretty.

  3. calltyrone

    Is that tension in those pics between Mary and Kendu? I hope not, I like seeing Mary happy and don’t want her going back to the old days of pain and heart ache

  4. BlkBubbaWitBlueeyes

    Mary J Blige’s Boo look like he secretly fantasing about Mary’s light skin signee ‘Starshell’- LOOL

    He got that look about him that says- ‘Man I should be with her instead of this DARK BUTT’ looool….

    I never understand why Mary insists on wearing that blonde hair, it makes her look ridiculous cos it dont compliment her skin tone. She would look so much prettier if she wore a black or dark brown weave.

  5. SayItLoudHD

    Mary has her own record label and it’s about time after being in the business so long and knowing so much about it. Love you Mary but I hope this chick is not just a pretty look and has good pipes.

  6. LULU

    Mary’s outfit is cute. So what happened to the other guy that was signed to her imprint, did he ever drop an album?

  7. thickems

    If I am not the biggest MJB and Maxwell fan, I dont know who is ! ! !

  8. episodes

  9. NunYaBiz

    Yea.. I saw a video months back with this girl…. she’s nice. Look fwd to seeing what she has for the world… she has that same innonent aura A.Keys had wh/she dropped.

  10. ThinkAboutIt

    May God bless MJB, and all her ventures.

  11. NunYaBiz

    Yea.. I saw a video months back with this girl….I dug it. She’s nice. Look fwd to seeing what she has for the world… she has that same innocent aura (don’t think I spelled that one right) A.Keys had wh/she dropped.

    Side note: Doesn’t she remind you of the girl in the black dress in the Micheal Jackson video, “Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on…” (Can’t think of the name)
    The same girl was also on a Different World.

  12. luvbug

    MAKES ME SICK HOW THE RICH AND FAMOUS R CATERED TOO. ALL OF THOSE BOTTLE OF WATER FOR WHAT? ALL I GET IS A HALF SWEETENED CUP OF KOOLAID AND A DRY DAYUM TUNA SAMMICH.

  13. Educated Goon

    Oh just what we need, another lightskin girl whining and singing!

    Come on this formula is played out… When will change come?

  14. Stacy H

    Mary looks good…Kendu looks bored

  15. SupaNova

    @11 The way you make me feel is the song

    She does favor that lady

  16. DanniElle

    Thinkin tha same thing as #2.. thats a dumb name but she’s really pretty

  17. SupaNova

    @13 Your name is such an oxymoron. A goon is a petty criminal,how educated is that? Were you educated in prison on how to stay alive in the joint? I mean like really? That image of that foolish talking rapper you have for your picture is a disgrace to humanity

    Back on topic: What does this young lady’s skin color have to do with anything? Damn do you live on a plantation or something? Still focusing on shades and complexions? She can’t help the way she look.Maybe she’s talented and just happens to also be considered by most to be very attractive.I just wish her the best,if she’s not singing about casual sex or a man breaking her heart all the damn time.

  18. Deann Dmere

    Dam i didnt know Mary had a label!
    Shiiiid sign me!!

  19. DarkEmpress

    im glad mary changed up her wig. this one is looking much better. I guess she and Kendu arent having any kids. I always thought they would but they’ve been together for a while now and nothing has happened. He already has kids though.

  20. ***thisiswhatithink***

    female. check
    light skin. check
    tight clothes. check

    … and there you have it ladies and gentleman the ”RnB star” formula.
    Just enough black for BET not too much black for MTV.

    kerching!

  21. THISISME

    @NunYaBiz
    I KNOW WHO YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT HER NAME IS TATIANNA THUMBZENT
    OR SOMETHING SHE WAS THE LEAD GURL IN THAT VIDEO BUT I DONT THINK SHE WAS IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, THAT WAS A NOTHER WOMAN

  22. notadummy

    Mary is a dummy. Listening to that dumb sucker azz husband of hers. You know damn well he’s screwing that young girl. Alicia Keys will be just like this next year. Listening to your husband who has far less morney than you is not the business.. #dumbbiztches

  23. CHILE PLEASE!!

    What is up with the cheap corny name??? What the fuck is she part of Spongebob crew or something? LOL! BTW its about time Mary is trying to do something else other than screaming on a dam track sounding a mess. I hope Starfish Shell or what ever her Leoni Lewis/Mariah Carey Hybrid mix can sing? We’ll see!

  24. JUDAH

    I doubt if Mary J. Blige’s “husband” has time to have sex with this girl, because I’m sure that the girl is spending most of her time trying to satisfy Mary J. Blige in the bedroom. Believe me, that is how she got signed because Mary J. Blige is as dyked out as they come lol. Furthermore, she is a worshiper of herself…..”Matriarch Records” lol. This woman is the matrix for bugged out, drug-addled, whorish, b*sexual black women that play the blame game, but she’s a “matriarch”? Yeah, ok.

    In regards to the whole “light-skinned” agenda, many black women need to spend more time correcting their delusional aspirations and foul attitudes as opposed to chalking up their bitterness to skin shade bigotry. This is the age of globalism. All icons that are pushed must have the globalized look. All that being said, there are many so-called “dark-skinned” black women that have been signed and get pushed in the past i.e. Patti Labelle, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. and the present i.e. Jennifer Hudson, Estelle, etc. They will never be as big as Rihanna or Beyonce because again, “artists” like Rihanna and Beyonce are pawns to be used to subvert and pervert the women of all races, so they must look similar to women of all races.

  25. if you care

    why does everybody think kendu is tappin her protege.

    maybe she is tappin her protege. mary sometimes gives off lez vibes.

    i dont want to catch them though. my girlcrush is ana beatriz barros.

  26. lalala

    Kendu is staring this girl down! He isn’t even glancing at his wife in any of these pics. He even tilted his head to look *around* Mary to get a view of the girl.
    —-
    On another note.. I wish Mary success on her new venture and also her new artists.

  27. Mrs. Sk8board P (ak & bk stan)

    cute girl.. let’s hope she has the vocals to back it up.. well at least something

  28. Delorean Car flux capacitor

    Since when do “YOU HAVE TO HAVE PIPES TO SING ON MARYS LABEL” Mary j blidge cant sing worth a damn herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AND THAT CHICK JUST MADE MY CGI LIST and thats a hot stage name

  29. QW

    Kendu sittin over on that counch lookin mighty quite like Mary dun already popped em and checked em, he look shooked. I like Marys brown crocodile purse thats right behind her in pick #2, its hot. Oh, and I like Marys look all together, she looks nice & comfortable at the same time. Much love to Mary and I wish her and her artist Starshell success and prosperity.

  30. Heaven of Shoes

    If Mary signed her then I know she’s hot.

  31. Educated Goon

    She is wearing contacts… I guess she aint so “exotic” after all.

    She could still get my dick tho..

  32. Weekend_Love

    Love Mary!!!!!
    thats whats up

  33. Gina

    Tatiana who?!!! This chick looks like Leila Arcieri (Jamie Foxx’s old squeeze that was in Q-Tip’s Vivrant Thang video) spit her straight out the womb!!! Wow what a resemblance…

  34. shirleyowe111

    Sadly, My boyfriend and me broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i may be in need of someone to love..still..My friends told me about A G EM I N GL E .( o M and i got curious about it.. they met their boyfriends there.,It’s the best place to meet an older boyfriend or a younger girlfriend. i cant risk myself..So i got a usename(Anny888) there in order to find a new boyfriend.is it wrong?

  35. momo

    and she will be compared to beyonce and she will be compared to rihanna. MY GOD….can’t the industry go for a different look. Anyone noticed how Rihanna was compared to Beyonce until she cut her hair and went black. news flash music industry listen up…..EVERY LIGHT SKIN GIRL WILL BE COMPARED TO BEYONCE NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY CAN DANCE OR SING UNTIL THEY CHANGE THEIR STYLE…..lets face it thats the only reason why rihanna made it this far. CAN WE GET SOME DAMN VERSATILITY PLEASE!!!!!!!

  36. ☆ Tami ☆

    Thought it was Leon Lewis for a minute there

  37. Sarah

    I hope this chick can sing because it would be shame if a beautiful talented dark skin woman like Mary J. Blidge went the “I’m just gonna sign somebody cute with light skin and good hair” route regardless of talent.
    You would think Mary would be willing to think outside of the box a little and give a fellow brown skin or dark skin sista that is really talented a chance. Lord knows they need them in this industry now.

  38. Lola

    HER NAME IS LANEAH CL GET YA FACTS STRAIGHT

  39. dyneera

    it’s always the lightskinned bitches damn mary y could’nt u have a brownskined artist there are some beautiful brownskinned women ugh hollywood just erks me because it hynotizes black people thinking light is the thing to be or to act white which black people over do it and they are called bojie it’s a mess what is the world coming too

  40. Dana

    I hope MJB knows what she’s doing esp. with a husband who has a wandering eye. Mary said her husband used to date supermodels and he had to really convince her she was the one due to Mary’s insecurity. They’ve been married about 8 years & at least 5 into it MJB said she had never met his kids mom. Who marries a guy and doesn’t meet the kids mom when the kids live with you? Sounds like Lamar Odom.

  41. salimah

    WOW at all the ignant comments about this young lady’s skin color!! Damn you would think this was a KKK blog the way some of you sound so racist! BLACK is BLACK. no matter what the shade. I’ve known biracial people who have dark skin and coarse hair so does their complexion make them more Black??—-GTFOH!! Skin color DOES not mean success–Hell do you see Tamia or Amel Larrieux all over blogs?? Both are light skinned Black females who are BEAUTIFUL and have REAL talent–Not Known for shaving their head and parading in their “edgy” clothes with their latest boo but REAL talent. Success is NOT about skin color or these two ladies would have blown up huge. You See Rihanna is canceling shows left and right — so stop the madness!

  42. LMAO

    @32 nailed it that’s exactly who she looks like

    @35 me too at first

    @39 ditto. Kendu’s not faithful and gonna have Mary whooping this girl’s ass. Mary never met the Mom because the Mom was 3-5 mos. preggers with their last child when Mary thought it was okay to sleep with her Husband.

  43. Somer

    Sorry but I agree with 13.. Mary had to follow the recipe & use the same tired azz ingredients on the scene today for the last decade. If you put Beyonce & this chick in the same big azz lace front & sunglasses you could not tell them apart.

    Also agree with #27. Mary is not the best singer herself so don’t just assume this chick has strong pipes.

  44. GLORIA

    I just found out that Lady Gaga wrote the song “Super Lover” for her. It was suppose to be for Brittany Spears. Anyway…Super Lover doesn’t sound good coming from Starshell. Lady Gaga should’ve kept that one. These artist all sound the same. They need to write their own music. That’s when it will be true to who they are.

  45. idomind

    Kendu is def not checking for anyone but another man. He is def not into women as Mary is not into men. This is the softest I have seen her look and that is not saying much because she looks like as hard as her kindred sister spirits- Queen Latifah, Serena Williams, etc.

    Kendu is a sissy that is why she beats up on him and he takes it. This new girl got Mary wearing makeup and daisy dukes. Now you know……..
    This new girl is not cute and looks like the rest. She must be desperate to do anything with Mary to get signed.

  46. leann

    since when is mary j blige dark skinned? and janet jackson? and whitney houston? dang if theyre dark skinned who is light skinned?

  47. Lia

    STARSHELL??????

    SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF SPONGEBOB LOOOOOL.
