On the eve of the 2-hour series finale of BET’s Being Mary Jane, fans of the show are bursting with anticipation to find out who Mary Jane Paul aka Pauletta Patterson, finally weds. It’s been quite the ride for both Mary Jane, and actress Gabrielle Union, who plays her on the show. But through it all both ladies managed to always show up with the face beat, hair laid, and body looking snatched. So as we say a final farewell to MJP, we reminisce on the many times that Gabrielle left us gagging from the red carpet and beyond.
