Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Season 3 Of Atlanta Gets Delayed For A Second Time Fans were looking forward to the third season of FX’s Atlanta dropping in 2019–but unfortunately, it looks like we’re all going to have to wait a little bit longer. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter , John Landgraf (the chief at FX) announced at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that the series is currently behind schedule. This announcement also means that the show will not be back in time for the 2019 Emmy contention window. John announced, “I don’t know whether we’ll have Atlanta or not. The writers are back working right now, thank God.” He continued on to say, “As you might imagine, Donald Glover is sort of the king of all media, and he just has had an incredibly complicated life. He’s had personal things he’s had to deal with, from injuries to other things I’d rather not say publicly that just have to do not with his personal life but his extended family,” Landgraf said, explaining the delay. “So I think one of the things that is just a reality of television today is you have to wait. We have so many things now that don’t cycle back on a regular basis…From my standpoint, I wish for the fans as well as for us that we could get everything back on an annual basis but, again, you just have to make a decision about quantity over quality at a certain point — and we’re just erring on the side of quality.” This isn’t the first time we’re hearing of a delay for the next season of the beloved show. Castmember Zazie Beetz hinted at the delay while promoting her new movie Wounds at Sundance last week. “Ideally we would be shooting now; that’s not happening,” she told IndieWire . Hopefully we won’t have to go all of 2019 without some new episodes of Atlanta , but it’s not looking good.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s blossoming relationship is blowing us all away. And definitely leaving us a little jealous. The happy couple celebrated their second anniversary on Sunday and Jen didn’t hold back any of her emotions. The Second Act star shared a slideshow of photos of the two as she gushed about her favorite qualities of the former baseball star. “Two years of laughter… two years of fun…two years of adventure…of excitement, of growing and learning… of true friendship and so much love!!” And that was just the beginning of her very affectionate message. She continued “you make my world a more beautiful safe and stable space… in the midst of our ever-changing, ever-moving life…you make me feel like a teenager starting out all over again.” How cute is that? And…there’s more! J. Lo adores her boyfriend’s love for spontaneity, saying “every time I think I have you pegged, you surprise me in the most wonderful ways reminding me how blessed I am to have found you now in this moment at this time… our time… TeAmo Macho” she concluded. Wow. If it was any other couple sharing all their sappy feelings, I don’t think I could stomach it. But, I have been a fan of this duo since their first striking appearance as a pair at the Met Gala back in 2017. Since then, they have only proven to be one of the happiest and most supportive couples in Hollywood. From A-Rod being her biggest fan during her Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award performance at the 2018 MTV VMAs to working out side-by-side together in Instagram videos. The two are truly a power couple. And “an engagement is definitely on the horizon,” says an inside source at US Weekly. “Alex is obsessed with Jen and spends as much time as he can with her.” J. Lo has been married three other times, to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998, Cris Judd from 2001-2003 and then Marc Anthony from 2004-2014 who she shares two 10-year-old twins, Max and Emme with. For Alex, he has two children as well, Natasha, 14, and Ella, 10, with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. Already having celebrated holidays together and posing for group photos, the two families are blending well together and undoubtedly melting all of our hearts. Everything is working out flawlessly for the couple and their families, and we wish them a very Happy Anniversary! Please bless us with many, many more!

Never say never in the television world, right? With that cliche in mind, NCIS fans are now preparing to say something else entirely: Holy $hit! No way!!!!!!! At one point during the horribly boring Super Bowl on Sunday night, CBS aired a promo for the next all-new episode of NCIS, which will air on Tuesday, February 12. “You thought her story was over,” a narrator says over shots of Cote De Pablo as Ziva, fueling speculating and a great many questions by adding: “Now the biggest NCIS secret of all will be revealed.” It's Ziva , one character also says, while Mark Harmon's lead agent intones: Don't tell me about Ziva! We think we speak for all fans of the long-running drama when we say: WAIT… WHAT?!? For the record, the official network tagline for this installment reads as follows: After a malnourished and confused 9-year-old is found hiding in a storage unit, NCIS reopens an old missing persons case when the girl is believed to be the daughter of a Navy recruit who disappeared 10 years ago. Also, Bishop discovers notes that Special Agent Ziva David kept on the case long after NCIS officially stopped investigating. De Pablo, of course, left the drama in 2013. She did so in memorable and seemingly concluding fashion after her character kissed Michael Weatherly's Tony, her colleague and love interest, on her way out. Two seasons later, when Weatherly then left the show, viewers learned Ziva had a daughter…and had died in an attack. It's worth noting, however, that her body was never found and/or shown on screen. “As far as my decision to leave, that's a personal thing, and I'd rather leave it at that,” De Pablo told TV Guide. She added: “The idea of leaving was not something I toyed around with for a long time. It was an overwhelmingly hard thing – at times terrifying. “Leaving NCIS was not planned, so there is no plan. If I were panicking now, it would defeat the purpose. “I need to get really excited about something, because for eight years I was really excited about this character. I don't want to start anything unless it's like that.” Check out the mysterious preview here and then follow our link to watch NCIS online if you need to catch up prior to this huge reveal.

Source: Arturo Holmes / @ArtuGraphiq Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage may be deported. He was arrested in Atlanta early Sunday by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to CNN . The agency says he is illegally present in the United States. ICE says 21 Savage, whose real name is Shayaabin Abraham-Joseph, is a citizen of the United Kingdom. The agency alleges that he entered the US legally in July 2005, when he was a minor, but subsequently failed to depart under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa. ICE says the rapper became unlawfully present when his visa expired in July 2006. 21 was also convicted on felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Georgia. Today, he was arrested in a targeted sting. “Mr. Abraham-Joseph is presently in ICE custody in Georgia and has been placed into removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts,” ICE said in a statement. “ICE will now await the outcome of his case before a federal immigration judge to determine future actions.” 21 Savage’s team said his representatives were working to secure his release. “We are working diligently to get Mr. Abraham-Joseph out of detention while we work with the authorities to clear up any misunderstandings,” Dina LaPolt said in a statement to CNN . “Mr. Abraham-Joseph is a role model to the young people in this country, especially in Atlanta, Georgia, and is actively working in the community leading programs to help underprivileged youths in financial literacy.” 21 Savage is featured on the song “Rockstar” by Post Malone, which was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap Performance at the Grammys.

Cox said that 21 is an “unlawfully present United Kingdom national” who legally entered the United States in 2005 when he was 12 or 13 years old on a visa. His visa expired a year later, Cox said. He’s been placed in “removal proceedings before the federal immigration” courts, Cox added. RELATED: 21 Savage Drops “A Lot” Video Featuring J. Cole [NEW VIDEO]
