Jane the Virgin's showrunner breaks down the biggest twists in the season 2 finale
HERE BE SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY:
Stuff that happened in the season 2 finale:
* Michael is shot by Susanna, because it turns out that Susanna was Rose all this time. my otp was a fraud :*(
* Petra is paralyzed by her evil twin sister Anezka, who decides to impersonate her and
* Xo is fucking pregnant with Esteban's kid.
Stuff that didn't happen in the season 2 finale:
* Sexytime for Jane.
Showrunner Jennie Urman discussed the following:
* Doesn't confirm that Michael is dead, saying that people were right to worry about Michael but that "we don't know what happened to Michael, we don't know if he's living or if he's dead, that's part of the tension of the finale..." trololololol
* Says they knew from the beginning that Petra would end up "Petrafied" and that the show took its time dropping hints that there would be a twin.
* On Xo's pregnancy: "The question will be, is Xo going to have this baby? Xo doesn't want a baby, so there's that."(oh god i hope they let Xo have an abortion.)
* Confirms that there never was a real Susanna: "We talked and talked in the writers’ room and we settled on that she had fabricated this character and invented all her references, and would be inserting herself right at the beginning... we were also trying to build a way for Rose to win Luisa back since she’s so upset that she killed her father... the way to win her back was to fall in love with her as a different person, then she would realize they were meant to be all along."
* Also confirms that the "Rose" that died in episode 12 was a double.
* The loss of Jane's virginity is imminent, but Urman says she doesn't want it to be a season premiere or a season finale thing because it would put too much pressure on her virginity as "this sacred thing."

-The first issue of the new comic book run by Ta-Nahisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze sold over 250,000 copies in April, easily topping the charts.
-Second place was another issue #1 and another Marvel/Disney nonwhite hero, Poe Dameron, at 175,000.

-T'Challa, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary this year, is now the first black Marvel solo superhero title to top the monthly sales chart (previous Marvel recordholder was Miles Morales Spider-Man, at #3; previous recordholder in general was Spawn back in the 1990's, who was the first and only black hero to ever hit #1... until now).
-Besides being the best-selling comic in its debut month, "Black Panther" is also the best-selling comic of 2016 to date.
-Interest in the title among first-time comic readers remains extremely high, according to retailers.

Don't forget that Coates has said he is more focused on gender and sexuality issues over racial ones in this comic!

Adele vs. Bey: Who will sweep the grammys?
The #GRAMMYs: Nine months out, it's already Adele vs. Beyonce https://t.co/utRh5qMp1tpic.twitter.com/l7G9tuaTHf
— billboard (@billboard) May 17, 2016
-Lemonade is the highest rated album of 2016 so far and is Bey's most artistic effort yet but conservative voters could ruin her chances. The last young African-American artist to win Album of the Year was Outkast in 2004.
-25 could be the last diamond-selling album of our life time, an honor the grammys might not pass up. But, reviewers agree that the album is basically a 21 pt. II and the memoir narrative is missing.
What is the more deserving album, ONTD?

Cameron D Was Surprised To Get Married After 40
Cameron Diaz didn't think she'd get married after 40: "It was a surprise." https://t.co/Yn0Xj7Y0mJpic.twitter.com/lxrSI5g0kC
— Us Weekly (@usweekly) May 17, 2016
The actor opened up to Harper's Bazaar about what has surprised her most and it was her marriage to Benji Madden.
"I got married last year," Diaz replied. In the first marriage for both, Diaz and the Good Charlotte rocker, 37, tied the knot in January 2015, after less than eight months of dating. "That was the biggest thing I've done in my 40s, and it opened me up in different ways. It's pretty awesome. I didn't think it was something I'd do, and I don't know if I'd have done it if I hadn't met my husband. It was a surprise."
She also admitted that she believes in "dressing your age". "Even when you're a certain age, it's all a matter of how you present yourself, how old your spirit is, and where you are in your life," she said. "Some 50-year-olds are still 35. It's about expression and what they can pull off."
Diaz revealed in the same interview which older women she admires most. "Gloria Steinem is one of the great feminist examples of a woman doing it her way," she replied. "Jane Fonda has also always been somebody who puts herself out there in a very honest way. I appreciate that. We have so many great examples in Hollywood, from Meryl Streep to Helen Mirren. They walk such a fine line between giving everybody what they want and not sacrificing themselves for it."
