Last night, Mary J. Blige got a tickle in her throat on the Home Shopping Network. After bending over and singing her heart out with reckless abandon, the vocalist sat down to sell her latest fragrance, Blossom, in the My Life Collection. Ahem.

Having stumbled upon the mini-concert, it was not clear whether the segment had commercials. But, without a Ricola in sight, no producer cut to one.
