Essence Atkins On Headline Heat Essence Atkins is one of the unspoken OG’s of the industry and it’s about time folks put more respeck on her name. It’s not often that we see the actress do interviews or open up about her personal life, so we were super hyped when she stopped by the BOSSIP office and dished on everything from her 2016 divorce, to the obvious chemistry between her and former co-star Marlon Wayans . Essence also dished her latest project, a show entitled “Ambitions” with Robin Givens , created by Will Packer . Check out the video above to see what else Ms. Essence Atkins had to say, and catch “Ambitions” Tuesday nights on OWN.
Source: Steve Granitz / Getty How To Get Away With Murder Will End With Its Sixth Season The messy life of law professor Annalise Keating will finally wrap up with the last season of How To Get Away With Murder airing this year. HTGAWM made it’s debut in 2014 with Viola Davis playing an antihero who gets mixed up in murder, secrets and complicated relationships with her law students. The role acted as a boost to Davis’ career, making her the first woman of color to win the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2015. In a statement to Shadow & Act , ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke explained: “Viola Davis made television history with her unforgettable portrayal of iconic female antihero Annalise Keating. I am eternally grateful to her, Pete Nowalk and Shondaland for creating and bringing to life such a smart, sophisticated and groundbreaking series that has long been an integral part of Thursday nights on ABC.” The creator of the series, Pete Nowalk, said: “Deciding to end this series was a brutal decision, but ultimately the story tells you what to do – as it did here. For me, Annalise Keating’s journey has always had a clear ending. Knowing I have 15 episodes left to finish her story, and the chance to give all the characters their own killer endings, is a gift rarely given to a series creator and I’m grateful to ABC and ABC Studios for the opportunity and creative freedom. I am so thankful to the brilliant cast, writers and crew for dedicating themselves to the most rewarding experience of my career over the last six years. I also want to thank our fans. The only reason this show exists is because of your loyalty and enthusiasm. I can’t wait for you all to see how it ends, with twists and turns and all the craziness we love to create every Thursday night. Buckle up.” ABC said the final season will “follows Professor Annalise Keating’s (Viola Davis) class through their final semester in law school – while the deception, fear and guilt binding Professor Keating to her students prove deadlier than ever.” Scandalous. Get ready for the sixth season premiere on September 26!
Serinda Swan is some Canadian Actress who hasn’t let me lick maple syrup out of her assholee, therefor we should collectively hate her, but being human I guess we’re more into people who don’t let us eat maple syrup out of their assholes, than those who do…it’s one of those want what you can’t have, while thinking what you do have must be pretty fucking gross and damaged to let you do that. Well…as it turns out…this actress celebrating Canada day has big tits in a tank top and we like big tits….all fed on homegrown Canadian bacon…I am not Canadian proud, or one of those backpack around Europe in my Canadian garb…so the fact she’s born here means nothing to me…but her tits..they are everything…and that’s all I have to say about that….

Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN A Man Tried To Steal Halle Berry’s House Using A Fake Deed Halle Berry was really close to returning to her Hollywood home to find the locks changed and a strange man living inside. According to TMZ , law enforcement sources say that 59-year-old Ronald Eugene Griffin first showed up at the Los Angeles property owned by the actress back in January and allegedly fiddled with the locks, but took off when he was approached by her gardener. A couple months later, in March, cops received a trespassing call from workers at Berry’s home, who said Griffin was there with a locksmith trying to get in, also claiming that he was the new owner of the home and had the deed to prove it. Not only did Griffin try to make his way into the house, he reportedly already managed to have one of the locks changed, and even made a call to the police when he was confronted by the employees at the house. When police arrived, Griffin maintained that he was the owner of the house, but LAPD detectives quickly determined that he had fraudulently changed the title of the residence. Halle told the detectives she had no idea who he was and most definitely did not give him permission to be at her home. Griffin was later arrested and hit with a felony count of procuring and offering a false warranty deed and an additional count of petty theft. His bond’s set at $36k. TMZ also reported that Griffin apparently didn’t even know the house he was trying to steal was Halle Berry’s place–it was just a coincidence. As for Halle, this isn’t the first time she’s had major issues with intruders. Back in 2011, she came home, walked in the kitchen and told cops, “As I opened my glass kitchen door and closed it behind me, all of a sudden I sensed someone behind me and turned to see the intruder standing less than a foot behind me, staring through my glass kitchen door.” That guy also ended up being arrested.

Rather than splurging on pricey leave-in conditioners and salon treatments (which can be worth it every now and then), the Traffik star swears by a brand for her curls that she buys right at the grocery store. “It’s a 10!,” Patton exclaimed at the Moschino 2020 Spring/Summer Resort fashion show in Universal City, Calif. when we asked her about the products that give her natural curly hair a boost. “You can get it at the grocery store,” she continued with a laugh. As for which products she uses from the collection, the actress said she swears by “the leave in spray. I love that.” She continued, “I use the shampoo, conditioner, and that spritz, with a little bit of shine oil.”

There have been many, many odd couples featured on 90 Day Fiance . In fact, over the course of the show’s entire run, there have only been one or two that actually made any sense together. But one of the most mismatched pairs in the K-1 Visa Hall of Fame has gotta be Danielle Mullins and Mohammed Jbali. We’re not here for any sort of body-shaming or speculation about what went on behind closed doors. But Danielle and Mohammed were on par with Nicole and Azan in terms of one-sided attraction and appearing to very rarely take any pleasure in one another’s company. Unlike the 90 Day poster couple, however, Danielle and Mohammed did get married — it just didn’t last. Despite the brevity of that union, however, Danielle has kept Mohammed’s last name — and she’s still forced to answer questions about him on an almost-daily basis. “I am entitled to keep the name,” she once told a fan who asked why she hangs on to her married moniker. “The name does not define me. Plenty of women use their married name after divorce. I don’t need to change my name to have closure.” That was back in 2017, and that should have been the end of it — right? Well, unfortunately, we’re talking about the internet in the 21st century, a time and place where no matter is ever settled and everything is up for debate until the end of days. As a result, Danielle is still getting grilled about her surname — and it seems she’s growing increasingly frustrated with that line of questioning. “I use my legal name on all my social media due to trying to verify my accounts,” she recently tweeted in response to additional queries. “When you are trying to verify, you have to show government ID.” Hmmm … that reasoning doesn’t completely fly as display names and account names are different matters on most social media sites. But the fact remains that Danielle is allowed to continue using her ex’s name if she so chooses. And thankfully, she has plenty of supporters out there. “For f–k’s sake, why in the hell [do] people still mention Mohamed?” one fan recently remarked, according to In Touch . “Especially in a post about her kids.” “Right?” Danielle succinctly replied. She later expanded on the matter when another follower encouraged her to “move on.” “I have,” Mullins wrote. “It is you people that keep mentioning him that can’t move on. I have been moved on since late 2016.” It may not seem like a very aggressive clap back, but for the usually softspoken Danielle, it’s a mouthful. And in any event, the proof is in the pudding when it comes to her ability to move on. We recently learned that Mullins is dating someone new , almost three years after her split from Mohammed. Clearly, neither of them mind that she’s still rocking the Jbali name, and that’s all that matters. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?
It’s been a rough week for Lindsay Lohan. Sure that’s probably been the case just about every week since 2011 or so, but these few days have been especially trying for the actress-turned-wannabe-reality-star. Proving that the world has officially lost interest in her freckled shenanigans, Page Six is reporting today that Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club has been canceled by MTV after just one season. No doubt it’s a major blow to Lindsay, who likely regarded the project as her best chance at returning to relevance. (LiLo is as delusional as they come, but even she must be starting to realize her dream of starring in a live-action remake of The Little Mermaid will never, ever come to fruition. The cancelation probably comes as a disappointment to MTV, as well. While Beach Club ‘s shoestring budget was evident in its shoddy production values, the network threw all of its promotional muscle into making the show a hit. And at first, the efforts paid off. Beach Club premiered in January to decent ratings, but those numbers declined rapidly when viewers realized what they were getting — a half-assed Vanderpump Rules knockoff with Lindsay bafflingly cast in the role of older, wiser mentor/mogul, a la Lisa Vanderpump. People want to see Lindsay partying and generally being a mess, not dispensing life advice to a group of interchangeable twentysomethings. Despite all of that, Lindsay’s dwindling clout might have been enough to earn her a second season, were it not for one pesky detail: It seems Lohan Beach Club in Mykonos has closed its doors for good. “A friend had reservations this week, and the club just called and said that they will not be opening this season,” a source tells Page Six . Another recently-returned vacationer confirmed that the club appeared to be closed during their time in Greece, and Mykonos residents seemed to have adopted a “good riddance” attitude. “The locals said it was a waste [of time to go],” the tipster recalls. “They advertised being open for [the] summer season, specifically late May. We drove past and it’s literally [deserted] … The Lohan sign is stripped off,” a third traveler wrote on Facebook. Insiders say multiple plans to tinker with the show and revive it for a second season were ultimately scrapped. “There was a renewal idea that producers hoped would perk it up for a second season,” says a source close to the production. “It would be turned into a show about Lindsay and [her mother] Dina and [sister] Ali, [but] that wasn’t going to happen.” The insider adds that the cast of beach club employees simply failed to deliver the fireworks execs had hoped for: “They wanted ‘breakdowns.’ That’s not where [Lohan] is at with her life anymore,” the informant claims. “Their personal business doesn’t need to be aired on television; it’s already in the papers anyway.” Clearly, a show focused on the famously troubled Lohan family would have had a much easier time finding an audience. But it seems that’s not the image that LiLo is looking to project these days. In any event, Beach Club is officially a thing of the past now, as a rep for Lohan confirmed that “she is not doing another season.” RIP to one of the worst reality shows in history .
