Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige, who recently finished her heart of the city tour with rapper Jay-Z, plans to head out this fall for another national run to support of her eighth studio album, "Growing Pains." The Love Soul Tour, which features supporting acts Robin Thicke and newcomer Dave Young, will kick off Sept. 13 in North Charleston, SC, and ends in Concord, Ca in mid October. As previously reported, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul has joined a dozen-plus female music stars to record "Just Stand Up," a charity single for the Stand Up to Cancer initiative to raise funds for cancer research. The song, produced by Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid, will be released to radio and will be available for purchase at Apple's iTunes store beginning Sept. 2.
