Blige�s big heart

Mary J. Blige has a heart the size of her record sales, PageSix.com reports.

Last week, Blige was at the Diane von Furstenberg store in New York City when she overheard a girl having a problem at the register. A spy said, �The girl had a dress on hold that she loved, and the bill was $900. She thought it was only $500, and she couldn�t afford it.�

Blige told the saleswoman, �Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress.� The customer at first declined Blige�s offer but relented after the singer said, �I know what it�s like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist.�

The customer wanted to send her a cheque for the balance, but Blige said, �Just enjoy it. I�m blessed, so let me do this.�
