She doesn’t just slay red carpets every single day….she can also look like polished perfection while kicking back courtside (and with a mystery guy) at her very first NBA game.  Check out Lupita Nyong’o having some fun at Madison Square Garden, plus sad and frightening news about Mary J. Blige‘s dad….

Lupita’s been getting all the perks of being this Award season’s It-Girl.  The 12 Years A Slave star was spotted laughing it up courtside next to Spike Lee, actress Edie Falco, her son and actor John Leguizamo yesterday at MSG.  Oh, and this was her first game…ever.  She posted video of the action on the court saying, "First basketball game. #knicks vs #sixers. I could get into this. #nymade"

She was fresh from a taping of "Jimmy Fallon", but still made this purple on purple Cushnie Ochs look a casual chic one for the game.  And yes, we’re digging around to see who that mystery man she seemed pretty chummy with is exactly….

The gorgeous SAG Award winner is set to co-star in the upcoming Liam Neeson thriller Non-Stop on February 28th.

And in sad news, news reports state that Mary J. Blige’s father, Thomas Blige, is now in critical condition after being stabbed in the neck with a knife.  The incident happened outside of Detroit in the city of Battle Creek…and his girlfriend (who is currently possibly an estranged lover) is the prime suspect.

The Battle Creek Enquirer reports:

Police said they were called to the Arbors of Battle Creek, an apartment complex at Rambling Road and Capital Avenue Southwest, at 6:58 a.m. Thursday.

They said they found Blige in his apartment at 200 Oakbrook Boulevard with three stab wounds, including one to his neck.

He was taken to Bronson Battle Creek and then to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo where he underwent surgery for his injuries.

And how the stabbing went down:

Detective Sgt. Jim Martens said officers went to the scene and found blood in the snow near the entrance drive to the apartment complex and more blood in Blige’s apartment. Police also found a knife in the apartment that they believe was used in the attack.

Martens said officers then went to [his girlfriend’s] nearby apartment at the Arbors and found the woman in blood-spattered clothing.

She was taken into custody, taken to Bronson Battle Creek for treatment of a cut, questioned by detectives and arrested.

The woman was taken to the Calhoun County jail and was expected to be arraigned Friday in Calhoun County District Court.

Martens said police believe Blige saw the woman deflating the tires on his Ford SUV in the parking lot outside the apartment and went out to confront her.

The couple argued and Blige was stabbed.

He returned to his apartment and she went to her apartment, police said. She was arrested without incident.

Wow.

Interestingly, the Detective said police have handled seven domestic violence complaints between Blige and his 50-year-old former girlfriend since August!

One of these complaints involved the woman getting charged this past October with aggravated domestic violence after she hit Blige in the head with a glass candlestick. She entered a no-contest plea to the charge and on Jan. 10 was placed on six months probation.

Even though she was ordered since then to have “non-assaultive” contact with Blige, we see that she likely didn’t abide by that rule.
