HERE'S TODAY'S BONUS STORY

As previously reported Mary J. Blige celebrated her 41st birthday yesterday; however she's not the only one that got gifts. Mary gave fans a special gift by re-releasing a "up-dated" version of her video "Mr. Wrong" including Drake.

In case you didn't know, when the video dropped last December it didn't include Drizzy. More than likely they had schedule conflicts when production for the video was going down the first time. It's all good now though. By the way, you can get that song and more on Mary's new album "My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act I)" in stores everywhere.
