View this post on Instagram In Spring of 2012, I got the opportunity of a lifetime – Pauletta “Mary Jane” Patterson came into my life. In many ways we shared similar struggles and triumphs, loves and losses, and especially the penchant for epic reads. Finally, so many of us saw our beautifully complicated and rich lives as we tuned into @BETMaryJane. We've laughed, cried, cried some more, screamed, rolled our eyes, sucked our teeth, walked away and come back in frustration… whether we acknowledged it or rejected it, she at times was us, and we were her. Tomorrow night our #BeingMaryJane journey comes to an end. I hope yall tune in and see how it all ends. I will miss playing her, but more than that, I will miss our cast, Atlanta crew, LA writers and each and every fan who watched our show. We are grateful and we are humbled. We yall and we never took you for granted. We apologize for the delay but we are here and ready to snatch wigs and moisturize elbows. Get ready!

View this post on Instagram All we can say is WOW. #BeingMaryJane Series Finale TUES APR 16 9/8c A post shared by #BeingMaryJane (@betmaryjane) on Mar 18, 2019 at 1:15pm PDT Nice try, 50 Cent… Being Mary Jane Series Finale Preview Mary Jane must make a decision. In a preview for the “Being Mary Jane” series finale movie originally set to air in fall 2018, Mary Jane’s being forced to pick between two men; Justin and a long lost lover played by Morris Chestnut. Pauletta (Mary Jane) will finally respond to Justin’s marriage proposal and things get complicated when someone else enters the picture. Morris Chestnut’s character who clearly has a long history with MJ seduces her with a massage before some heated cheek clapping ensues—later, he too pops the question. There’s lots more to unpack here, like the dynamic between Mary Jane’s mom and her dad after THAT cheating bombshell. Remember Ms. Helen revealed that Paul isn’t her son Patrick’s real dad? Watch a preview above ahead of the Being Mary Jane series finale airing April 16 on BET.

Source: Tamar Braxton / Getty Were you watching??? Tamar Braxton Wins “Celebrity Big Brother” SHE DID IT! Although she had a shaky (almost LoLo Jones fight having) start, Tamar Braxton was victorious on “Celebrity Big Brother.” Tamar won becoming the first Black person to win Big Brother and also became only the second person to ever win a U.S. Big Brother season unanimously after she beat out Ricky Williams. Tamar spoke on her big win that includes a $250,000 prize to Entertainment Weekly and told them that she’s buying a house for herself and her son little Logan. According to Tamar, she’s been living in an apartment as her divorce is still pending from Vincent Herbert and she promised Logan they’d get a house. “Well, right now, I’m in an apartment. I just … I don’t even know if I’m divorced. [Calls out to the room] Does anybody know?” PERSON WITH TAMAR ANSWERS: No, you’re not. [Laughs] Okay, when everything went down with [being let go from] The Real, a lot of things changed. And, unfortunately not really in my favor. But, I’m grateful for the person that I’ve become from all the hardships that I’ve been through. And the growth that I have received from all the changes that has been made. And so my son and I are going to be moving to a house. And every day he asks me to go back to his old house and that’s just not available to him anymore. And I promised him a month and a half ago before I moved into the house that mom will be working hard to not replace it, but build towards our future and getting us a new house. Because we do live in an apartment and that’s nothing that I’m ashamed of. Sometimes you’ve just got to start over to start right.” Tamar also told Entertainment Weekly that she’s glad she and Kandi rebuilt their friendship while in the house although things were rocky at first. Remember when Tamar told Kandi she “did something to her” on The Great Xscape tour and burst into frustrated tears? “Yeah, we got it back because we wanted it. We wanted to make amends more than we wanted to fight and that’s for the both of us. I just think that’s a testament to life. When you want to get along, when you want to do something, and it’s another person involved, they’ve got to want it too. You’ve got to work at it. And we constantly worked at our relationship in the house. I wasn’t too happy to see her face, I’m not going to lie, when I first saw her. But, in the end I’m really grateful that she was there. And I’m really grateful of the friendship that we’ve been able to have in the house and outside of the house.” Congrats Tamar!
