MARY J BLIGE GETS A NEW PAD

According to the NY Post, Mary J. Blige plunked down $12.3 million in cash for a Saddle River, N.J., mansion.

Thanks to the sagging housing market, the 37-year-old best-selling singer got a relative bargain on the 18,250-square-foot dream pad. The house originally went on the market last year for $17 million and was reduced this year to $13.9 million, the source said.

Luckily she’ll have many familiar neighbors. Rappers Ja Rule, Wyclef Jean and the Rev. Run of Run-DMC live nearby.

Her newly constructed eight-bedroom house - built on 4.2 acres and modeled after a French country manor - features a 14-seat movie theater, a fitness center, a hardwood basketball court and an elevator. It also reportedly has a gourmet kitchen, eight bathrooms, a spiral staircase and a wine tasting room.
