Kerry Washington and Viola Davis.

Two of Hollywood’s most towering talents stepped in style last night at the 22nd Annual Critics Choice Awards at the Barker Hangar in LA.

It marks the first major appearance by ‘Scandal’ star Washington since the birth of her second child last month. Needless to say the snapback is real.

Her Shondaland sister Davis also turned heads and earned an accolade in the process.

She bagged ‘Best Supporting Actress’ for her role in Oscar favorite ‘Fences.’

Set to open to the public on Christmas Day, the film’s early slayage certainly bodes well for the star and her co-star Denzel Washington heading into award season.

This season on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ viewers will have seen Phaedra Parks in repair mode following her split from Apollo Nida.

Yet, while it may seem like the lawyer/mortician is moving on after filing for divorce, it’s Nida who’s writing his new life chapter at the speed of light. This despite being in prison for fraud.

See, while the pair’s divorce narrative plays out on screen, their union has officially been dissolved recently – freeing Nida to get engaged to Sherien Lufti.

Little is known about the “mystery woman” other than the fact she lives close to the New Jersey jail where he’s incarcerated. And…that she will appear on an upcoming episode of the ‘Housewives.’

Now, just hours before the latest episode airs, a portrait of the couple in prison (taken last month) has surfaced.

Interesting timing.
