Tom Hanks and Kate Capshaw nodded along to Mary J. Blige's performance of her chart-topping hit, "No Drama." The song "One" got Angie Harmon and Ginnifer Goodwin up to dance, and by the time Blige closed her set with "Family Affair," the entire audience was on the dance floor. "I have to be a part of this because I am a woman," said Blige of the cause. The singer also admitted she was a little star struck by her fellow guests. "I'm sitting at a table with Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman. Will Smith is the only one that's missing right now—that would complete the dream!"

Mary J. Blige Pays $12Million For N.J. Mansion *Pics Inside*
Mary J. Blige pays $12M for N.J. mansion

Mary J. Blige's new $12 million N.J. pad boasts a movie theater and basketball court.

Blige 'fell in love' with the eight-bedroom abode.
It's a castle fit for the Queen of Hip Hop.
Grammy winner Mary J. Blige plunked down $12.3 million in cash for a Saddle River, N.J., mansion, the Daily News has learned.
"She fell in love with this one," a source said of Blige, who checked out several houses in the swanky area before settling on the 18,250-square-foot dream pad.
Thanks to the sagging housing market, the 37-year-old best-selling singer got a relative bargain.
The house originally went on the market last year for $17 million and was reduced this year to $13.9 million, the source said.
Blige, who has sold more than 40 million records, will have plenty of hip-hop stars, rappers, movie stars and pro athletes as neighbors.
Rappers Ja Rule, Wyclef Jean and the Rev. Run of Run-DMC live nearby.
Other boldface names calling Saddle River home include Nets' hoop star Vince Carter, actor Danny Aiello and novelist Mary Higgins Clark.
Blige's 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 has a gourmet kitchen, eight bathrooms, a spiral staircase and a wine tasting room.
Real Estate broker Dennis McCormack, who sold the property, denied knowing who bought it.
McCormack's competitors said the sale to Blige was the talk of the tony town.
"Everybody knows Mary J. Blige bought the house," the source said. "He [McCormack] may have signed a confidentiality agreement, but the buzz was out the minute she and her husband saw the house."
Blige and her husband, record-industry executive Kendu Isaacs, are not expected to move in anytime soon.
She is in the middle of her 25-arena Heart of the City tour with Jay-Z. Tonight she plays the Nassau Coliseum and tomorrow she's at the Izod Center.
Sources said the couple plans to personalize the landscaping, boost security and possibly revamp a few garages to accommodate her tour bus.
"It's nice to know Mary J. Blige is moving to the area," said resident Sandy Miller, who was at the local post office Wednesday. "Everyone here is private, secluded and respects each other's space."
An Optimum cable worker visiting the house Wednesday was surprised - and excited - to learn the name of the new owner.
"That's hot," he said.

"I'm at my most beautiful when I'm in a good mood, not dealing with any drama, and feeling healthy," says the singer, 37. But when she wants to get glam in a pinch, Blige has a quick beauty tip. "I put on eyeliner and mascara and some liner on my mouth and some gloss in the middle, and that's the perfect five-minute face."
