SUMMARY: The National Transportation Safety Board released preliminary findings regarding the investigation into a house explosion that occurred in January, killing an 82-year-old woman. The report indicates that Atmos Energy found a gas leak near the home more than two months before the explosion, but classified it as nonhazardous and did not repair it. Another house explosion occurred nearby in December, and Atmos Energy also found a non-hazardous gas leak but did not fix it. The NTSB will continue investigating the company’s methods for accessing and repairing gas leaks. The mayor emphasized the city’s demand for accountability from utility companies. Atmos Energy has not yet responded to inquiries.

SUMMARY: The film discussed breaks away from typical holiday movie clichés, presenting a unique story set during Christmas rather than one about Christmas itself. The cast reunites for a “Sister Sister” moment, with excitement surrounding Tia Mowry’s involvement, as well as the unexpected appearance of Ron Rico. The movie, filmed in Atlanta, incorporates Southern and cultural elements, making it distinct from usual fare. The actress highlights her evolving career, mentioning previous roles and emphasizing the significance of her involvement in this project. “A Very Merried Beauty Salon” premieres on Lifetime on December 7th, catering to family audiences with a fresh narrative.

In A Very Merry Beauty Salon, Sienna (Tia Mowry), the owner of the bustling Divine Beauty Salon is preparing for Atlanta’s Tinsel Ball, where she will be honored for her charitable work in the community. The annual event takes a glamourous turn with the arrival of Lawrence, a charismatic CEO whose family’s wine brand is now co-sponsoring the Ball. Sparks fly between them, but Sienna’s mother Georgia (Donna Biscoe) who is the head of the Ball’s committee, worries his involvement may ruin the event’s traditions. As Sienna and Lawrence are unexpectedly paired as dance partners, romance blooms, setting the stage for a steamy romance that challenges Sienna’s thoughts on love and family and makes this year’s Tinsel Ball the most memorable yet.
Cocoa Brown and Ashli Auguillard star as Miss Kimmy and Ella, hairdressers at the salon.
