Mary J. Blige's father was in critical condition Friday after being stabbed early Thursday.
According to WOOD TV 8, an ex-girlfriend stabbed 63-year-old Thomas Blige in the neck during a domestic dispute at a southside apartment complex in Battle Creek, Mich. Blige reportedly accused the woman of slashing his tires.
Police found Blige with three stab wounds, including one in the neck. The Battle Creek Enquirer reported Blige underwent surgery at a hospital in nearby Kalamazoo, Mich.
The Enquirer reported police arrested the woman, who was wearing blood-splattered clothing, at her apartment Thursday. She was treated at a local hospital for a cut was in jail, awaiting her arraignment in Calhoun County.
The Huffington Post said there have been at least seven domestic violence between Blige and the unnamed woman, who reportedly was sentenced to six months of probation after entering a no-contest plea to charges of aggravated domestic violence against him in October.
Blige has reportedly described her father as a jazz musician and Vietnam War veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome. According to Biography.com, Thomas Blige abused her mother. "He left us when I was 4, but he'd come back from time to time and abuse her some more," she reportedly said.
In her song, "Father In You," Blige sang, "When I was a little girl, I didn't have a father / And that's why I'm leaning on you."

Sometimes you come across talent so great that it puts you in a trance. A state of  “maaannnn, I wish I could do that!” But more so the present fact that this person, this artist, is capable of producing such creativity is mind –blowing and often I find myself being a proud observer – proud of the creator and producer of said art.  As if I were there from the beginning when the vision was planting and there in the moment the dream had flourished.
Lee England Jr., is my latest “awe” moment. I am a fool for just realizing how familiar I am with his work! LOL. With personality and a skill set that he executes like second nature, this brother is baaaaaad.  Young, ambitious, and extremely talented the twentysomething – year- old violinist and vocalist intrigues the ear by taking familiar songs and tweaking them, adding a kaleidoscope of sweet instrumentation and intertwining rhythms.
During his  mini-concert performance at the University of Chicago’s Logan Center for the Arts over the weekend, England fused the sounds of  jazz,  R&B, pop and soul into an hour-long experience for all genres and audiences.  Lee England  and fellow musicians beautifully played Rihanna’s hit single, “Diamonds” , performed various tunes by Adele, threw in their twist of Cee Lo Green’s “Crazy” and  eloquently combined Usher’s “There Goes My Baby” with Michael Jackson’s “Lady In My Life”. The transitions were smooth as he and his Soul Orchestra weaved in and out of songs with an aesthetic that soothes your audio stream.
From Chi-town education and setting Lee England’s musical foundation to the breeze of Venice Beach in sunny California, the L.A. scene propelled Lee’s destiny. In the midst of performing at various NBA Games, his arena continues to grow and has encountered working with artists such as Eric Roberson, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, to name a few and has gained credentials as an opening musician for artists such as Chrisette Michele, Rick Ross, Ryan Leslie, and MC Lyte, to name a few, respectfully.
A Jordan Brand Ambassador, handpicked by Michael Jordan specifically after a performance at his annual party during the NBA All-Star Weekend a few years back, England has mastered his skill in multiple ways by receiving three degrees from Southern Illinois University, inclusive of a  B.S in Music Business and B.A. degrees in Music Education and Music Performance.  The hard work and dedication exudes during each performance as it is clear that when the violin is in his presence – the two, he and his instrument,  become one.

Let's Celebrate our Friendship with Tea this Afternoon at Fortnum & Mason

Fortnum & Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon
Fortnum & Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon
A word from Fortnum & Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon
On March 1st 2012, with enormous joy and excitement, the refurbished St James’s restaurant was opened by HM the Queen accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge, and renamed The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.

For over 300 years, Fortnum & Mason has been sourcing and selling superb quality tea. In 1926 this famous grocery store was transformed into a unique department store with a Restaurant that offered afternoon tea to our customers.

The tradition of taking tea and that little bit of something between lunch and dinner had long been a feature of smart households and in the Roaring Twenties at Fortnum’s was defined by a menu featuring our finest teas, delicate sandwiches and exquisite cakes. For generations, afternoon tea has become an essential part of any visit to 181 Piccadilly.
