Fresh off her three Grammy nominations, Mary J. Blige offerered a somber response. “My cousin. He died when he was 16," she revealed. "He was shot in the chest and I didn’t get a chance to se him. I was in London.”

“Extra” has obtained a statement from Hatcher’s representative stating, “Ms. Hatcher has not entered into any agreement with any other cosmetic or skincare companies or otherwise authorized or permitted any competitors of (Hydroderm) to use her name, likeness or celebrity in the promotion of products...Ms. Hatcher has done absolutely nothing wrong and has been ready, willing, able and eager to perform.”
