With the passage of time, the media obsession with selfies and handshakes has given way to an appreciation of the truly important aspect of Nelson Mandela's memorial service: allegedly fake sign language interpreter Thamsanqa Jantjie. On CNN's New Day Thursday morning, the gibberesticulating interpreter got the full CSI treatment from an expert on sign language, American Sign Language interpreter and actor Jon Wolfe Nelson, who told anchor Chris Cuomo "I am not a linguist and I do not know South African sign language."...

Last night, The L Word finished its six year run on Showtime. It was announced 12 months ago that the series was coming to an end so many viewers were expecting the series finale to be well-crafted and satisfying. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be what they got.

The L Word revolves around the loves and lives of a group of gay, bisexual, and transgender friends who live in Southern California. Over the years, the series has featured a large ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Pam Grier, Rachel Shelley, Daniela Sea, Erin Daniels, Marlee Matlin, Rose Rollins, Sarah Shahi, Dallas Roberts, Preston Cook, Lauren Lee Smith, Jon Wolfe Nelson, and Cybill Shepherd.

Debuting on January 18, 2004, L Word proved very successful for the pay-per-view channel. In 2007, Robert Greenblatt, Showtime's President of Entertainment, called it "a signature franchise for us and one of our most popular series.

In a bid to give a proper goodbye to lesbian drama "The L Word" which has spanned for 6 seasons, Showtime held a farewell party at West Hollywood's Cafe La Boheme. The March 3 event was made in the package of a movie premiere, with the stars gracing the red carpet for photo sessions before going inside the venue.

Spotted in the crowd are the show's lead actresses such as Laurel Holloman, Katherine Moennig, Daniela Sea, Rose Rollins and Mia Kirshner as well as several supporting actors such as Marlee Matlin, Kate French, Janina Gavankar, Jon Wolfe Nelson, and Eric Roberts. Creator and show runner Ilene Chaiken is also present along with other guest stars.

Missing from the event are the other main cast, Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Pam Grier and Rachel Shelley.

The show will wrap it up on Sunday, March 8 with the episode "Last Word" which preview can be seen here.

A set of images to promote the sixth season of "The L Word" that will premiere January 18 at 9/8c, has come out. Coming back for the final season are the show's principal characters such as Shane, Helena, Alice, Bette, Tina, Kit, Tasha and also Jenny, the latest who is portrayed dead in the promo video.

Jenny, played by Mia Kirshner, will appear in a series of flashbacks after her scene where her lifeless body is carried on a stretcher is aired. Jenny is found face-down in a swimming pool and a female police will be investigating the case. According to the caption by Showtime, "one of the friends will take the fall" and friendships will be put to test. The series will begin with flashbacks of the months leading up to the murder.

The L Word isn't just for the ladies. Sure, guys have been on the groundbreaking Showtime series, but none have truly had the lasting stay or impact like Tom Mater has.

And with the sixth and final season approaching (premieres Jan. 18 at 10 pm/Et), things between them are just going to be more "extraordinary," Nelson teases to TVGuide.com. Find out what else the actor — a real-life interpreter — has to say about the last season, being the drama's sole source of testosterone and if he'll be part of the spinoff.
