Mrs. MARY J. BLIGE was honored last night (alongside actor Danny Glover) by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund in New York. On had to serenade the audience was FANTASIA BARRINO and RAHEEM DEVAUGHN who kilt it! RHOA’s SHEREE WHITFIELD as well as Tyler Perry mainstays TASHA SMITH and LYNN WHITFIELD also came through.

I hear Ms. Fantasia did a gospel rendition of ‘Purple Rain’ that made grown men weep…
