Diva to Perform
on Soap Opera
(AP) — Though she famously sang
about wanting "No More Drama" in her
own life, Mary .1. Blige is about to be
transplanted into a world o f crime, schem­
ing, back-stabbing and scandal. She’s tap­
ing an appearance on ABC's "One Life to
Live.”
The 35-year-old R&B diva, whose lat­
est album, "The Breakthrough," has sold
more than two m illion copies, w ill perform
two hits from that disc lor an episode set to
air July 28.
"The cast and I, being huge fans o f
Mary J. Blige's tremendous talent, are
thrilled that she w ill be appearing on
‘O L T L ,’ ” said executive producer Frank
Valenti in a recent statement.
Erykah Badu and Chris Botti have also
performed on the show.

Jackson Accuser
LA R E N Z
Charged with Fraud
GAME
TATE
THE
WZ.
Must pay or stand trial
The woman who claimed Michael Jackson
molested her son, leading to the sensational
trial a year ago at which the singer was acquit­
ted. was ordered Wednesday to stand trial.on
a charge o f welfare fraud.
The attorney for the 37-year-old woman
entered a not guilty plea on her behalf. She did
not speak during the arraignment.
She is accused o f one charge related to
accepting $8,000 in fraudulently obtained as­
sistance and four charges o f committing per­
jury on welfare applications.
Prosecutors say she hid the fact that she
received a substantial settlement in a lawsuit
against J.C. Penney before she filed for wel­
fare.
Her lawyer. Patricia Hattersley, said outside
court that she hopes the case can be resolved
without a trial. "We are open to discussions,"
she Hattersley. “ Her position is she never
misrepresented anything intentionally."
The prosecutor's office said the case w ill go
to trial unless she makes restitution. The trial is
scheduled for Aug. 7.
A lter Jackson's trial last year, many jurors
said a lack o f credibility on the part o f the
woman and her children were major factors in
the verdicts. The defense portrayed her as a
con artist who schemed to ge, money from
celebrities and through fraudulent legal claims.
