Mary J. Blige Will Only Wear a Designer She Can Pronounce

From a flack at Alison Broad PR, circa 10:57am:

Please let me know if you'd consider including Mary J. Blige in Guy Laroche during your Grammy recap this week.

From same flack at Alison Broad PR, circa 11:49am:

Hi All,

I want to apologize profusely for my previous email. Apparently both Guy Laroche and Michael Kors sent eerily two VERY similiar dresses for Mary J. Blige to consider wearing to the Grammy's. Ultimately, the below picture is, in fact, by Michael Kors.

I apologize for the confusion.

Even more embarrassing: Mary J. even told E!'s red carpet cameras that her dress was from Michael Kors, not – and we're paraphrasing here – "one of those French designers I can't pronounce."

Like, say, Guy Laroche.

    Actually, it was Seacrest who said that, not Mary J.

    Seacrest: "Who are you wearing"

    Mary: "Michael Kors, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry."

    Seacrest: "Finally! A designer I can pronounce. I can't pronounce some of those French designers' names."

    Mary: Silence. (Stare seems to say, "Move it along, whipping boy…")

    Homey, no. I do not understand. Because when I say "ask", it sounds like… "ask".
    You need to check yourself, before you wreck yourself. *Snaps fingers*.
