MARY J. BLIGE OPENS CENTER FOR WOMEN


R&B singer Mary J. Blige gives back to her hometown of Yonkers, New York. The Grammy winner opened her new facility along with Hip Hop Mogul Steve Stoute, the Mary J. Blige Center for Women. 

This was a dream being fulfilled, a symbol of her own struggles as a child and a young woman. It was the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Mary J. Blige Center for Women. Mary gave an emotional speech as she spoke to the press. The building has no sign yet, but it will soon become a safe haven for women and young girls, offering them different programs for education, life skills, self-empowerment and much more.
FFAWN (Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now), which was founded by Blige and Steve Stoute, partnered with design house Gucci and Westchester Jewish Community Services to bring Blige's center to fruition.

According the The Sun: In February German-born Karl Lagerfeld was blasted after saying Heidi was 'too heavy' to be a catwalk model. Now he's claimed no-one in the fashion industry knows who she is.

The French-based designer said: "I don't know her. Claudia Schiffer doesn't know her. "She was never in Paris, we don't know her."

He also had words about husband Seal, talking about his skin. He added: "I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his skin. "Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters."

Okay, what did I miss! Why the hate Karl? What did Ms. Klum and hubby do to him?
