     *Mary J. Blige was shopping at the Diane von Furstenberg store in New York's Meatpacking District when a woman at the counter appeared to be in distress over an item she couldn't afford.

      "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," a witness told the New York Post's Page Six."

       That's when Blige swooped in with her pocketbook and told the saleswoman: "Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress," the witness recounted.

       The customer at first turned down Blige's offer but eventually agreed after the singer said: "I know what it's like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist."      

       The woman wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Blige said, "Just enjoy it. I'm blessed, so let me do this."
