Mary J. Blige Covers ‘Shape’ Magazine, Says Whitney Houston’s Death Inspired Her To Get Fit
Wait. When did Mary J. Blige inherit the body of an Olympic sprinter? Seriously, you could grate cheese on those abs! The 42-year-old R&B icon shows off her incredible physique on the cover of this month’s Shape magazine in a tiny, white bikini.
The seasonal singer credits her amazing physical transformation to Whitney Houston. She was so devastated by her friend’s death that she reassessed her own life. “Whitney Houston’s death really crushed me,” Mary J. explains. “I saw someone so incredibly talented just diminish, and I refuse to go out like that.”
