MARY J. HELPS STRANGER GET DRESS OFF LAYAWAY: Singer dips into own pocket after overhearing woman's predicament.
*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."
