Gabrielle Union looks to have a hit on her hands. Her new show "Being Mary Jane" premiered on BET last night. And we loved it. And so did the social media world, it seems. Get the full episode inside in case you missed it, plus what she recently said about wanting to pop out babies in 2 years...

The Randomness:
1. Jay-Z was denied a permit at the last minute to perform atop the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC. Even though the mayor's office approved it just days ago, thanks to the leak about the concert, they likely are now concerned about terrorist threats and crowd control. So now, it's a NO-GO! STORY
