TNT Cancels Jada Pinkett Smith and Marc Anthony Series HawthorRNe

Jennifer Lopez ex Marc Anthony and Jada Pinkett-Smith, wife of Will Smith, are still having to beat off rumors they had an affair. Now the two also have to deal with more unpleasant news. After three seasons, TNT has decided to cancel HawthoRNe, the medical drama series they both star in.

TNT issued a statement announcing the HawthoRNe cancellation on Friday. “TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in HawthoRNe. The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show’s talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with HawthoRNe nothing but the best.”

The series starred Jada Pinkett Smith as hospital executive Christina Hawthorne and Marc Anthony as Detective Nick Renata. The series also featured Michael Vartan as Dr. Tom Wakefield as the Chief of Surgery. During the show, Jada Pinkett Smith and Marc Anthony shared some very steamy scenes on HawthoRNe, which may have prompted the rumor the two had an affair.

Marc Anthony became a series regular on the show last March. After his sudden and spectacular seperation and impending divorce from wife Jennifer Lopez, rumors began to swirl of an affair betwen Anthony and his HawthoRNe co-star. Both Marc Anthony and Jada Pinkett Smith have vehemently denied any affair ever happened.

Marc Anthony led off as the parade’s “international godfather” with gorgeous wife J-Lo at his side. Originally telenovela star Osvaldo Rios was slated to lead the march, but withdrew after a domestic violence conviction for assaulting his girlfriend caused outrage over his participation.

The annual Puerto Rican Day Parade started at 11 AM and marches from 44th Street to 86th street. This year the parade and celebration were shortened to five hours instead of seven and the route cut down by seven blocks.

The theme for this year’s parade is “Helping Build a Better Community.”
