She won ( Influencer Award )  and left Cookie 's gawd awful wardrobe at HOME!! Mr. Alexander Wang Taraji and Empire's Costume Designer Paolo

It's become very evident that ' Empire ' is not against guest stars appearing on their show. So much so that just about any piece of news regarding the show seems to list a new guest star. Currently, Vivica A. Fox is newest name that has been added to the cast and will debut on episode 8. She reportedly will play Cookie 's (Taraji P. Henson) older sister this season. Oh, the visual... Anywho, this news of Vivica's move to show is great for Vivica and her fans but a little confusing to me. Daniels spoke to the Television Critics Association last month where he stated a spin-off show (Cookie's past) was not out of the question AND there would be less guest appearances. " Without question there will be a spinoff," co-creator  Lee Daniels  said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour Thursday. "We talked about it in the room already ." Because there will be more episodes this season, Daniels also said that the pacing w...

My hometown girl,in my mind, Taraji P. Henson has just made history, along with Viola Davis,  becoming thee first TWO African American actresses to be nominated at the same time for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 2015 Emmys. Taraji scored her nomination for her role as Cookie Lyon on the hit Fox hip hop drama Empire . This is also the first Emmy nomination for Henson as well. Although this sounds like great news for Empire there is a bit of scandal here. Empire did not garner any other nominations other than Henson. Since the shows premiere in January of this year it has received nothing but rave reviews so you can imagine how many people thought the writers and other actors such as Terrence Howard would be nominated but they weren't. “Really? Wow. That’s a real surprise. I don’t do the show by myself. And Cookie is nothing without Lucious. She is nothing without her family.” - Henson's reaction to the snubs. However the show's costum...

The Lyon brother's from Fox's hit show ' Empire ' are covering the sizzling June 2015 issue of Essence magazine . I don't care if y'all judge me but Jussie Smollett , Bryshere Gray and Trai Byers all look sexy as HAYLE on this cover. I've begun to hate Tuesdays ever since the season finale of  ' Empire '...but this cover shot will do for now.

As if I needed another reason to watch Empire Tyrese Gibson 's annoying ass just may join the cast. TMZ caught the actor, who seemed a little buzz, and quizzed him on the "idea" of him joining the cast of Empire to reunite with his friend and one time on-screen love interest Taraji P. Henson . According to Tyrese she is with the idea!! Tyresre is a mess. In other words, if people keep bringing up his name and Empire in the same sentence he is bound to get on and he's been ready since yesterday. I will admit that I find Tyrese equally annoying as I do attractive and although this Jody and Yvette thing is starting to get old I would really like to see these two on the screen again. BUT only on Empire .

Or should I say happy Empire day because today is Wednesday, known affectionately by many as hump day, and the Lyons will grace our televisions tonight. Although I haven't been this excited about a REAL show since Boardwalk Empire (correct me if I'm wrong) tonight's viewing will be a tad distracting. Last week I was told that Wesley Snipes was to play the part of Lucious and Academy Award winner   Mo'Nique was up for the role of Cookie . "Mr. Daniels offered me the part of Cookie, and I have the emails and the sides to go along with it, and what he said was, 'I'm new to this TV thing. This is just a technicality… you have the role.' Okay. I have the emails. Well, four days have gone by because I didn't receive a phone call or another email for the location of where I was supposed to go to do this screen test," Mo'Nique said. - Source Now Look for those of you who don't know Lee Daniels is the director of  Precious  and ...

Taraji P. Henson , who will probably be known as Cookie for years to come now, graces the cover of Uptown magazine's Hollywood issue where she dishes on her role as Cookie Lyon on Lee Daniel 's hip hop drama on Fox ' Empire '. In the article, Cookie takes over mostly but the bubbly DC native does offer us some classic Taraji even dishing on her life in Chicago with her cast mates. “This is the happiest I’ve ever been in my career,”  Taraji P. Henson  says from her temporary residence in Chicago—the city where Hollywood mogul Lee Daniels tapes Fox Network’s new record-breaking series,  Empire , which he created and brought to Henson. “The cast is family. Bryshere [Gray] is always over here rattling through my pots and Jussie [Smollett] came over here the other day and spilled red wine all over my area rug,” she laughs. “I wake up the next morning, come out here and Gabby had told him to put salt on it. Salt is everywhere!” “I played a lot of characters that...

Lee Daniels ' new Fox hip-hop drama Empire has been a hit thus far receiving rave reviews from just about everyone and their mama until the news of Sean 'Diddy' Combs banning his son from appearing on the show. According to Page Six , Diddy has banned his "adopted son" from appearing on the show because he would have to give up "a portion of his music rights in relation to the show to Fox". Lee Daniels’ hip-hop drama “Empire” is the hottest show on TV, and actors and musicians are lining up for roles.

Henson, but Diddy hit the roof when he learned that his son would have to sign over a portion of his music rights in relation to the show...

Tasha exercises considerable influence over Hakeem. With such star studded talent starring and p...

Taraji at the Celebration of Gospel 2014 - Jason Kimpin/Getty Images Taraji P. Henson along with some another big name in Hollywood, Terrence Howard ,   are gearing up for Lee Daniel's new sitcom Empire on Fox. The show is dubbed a family show with a hip hop base. In the family drama set in the world of a hip-hop empire, Henson will play Cookie Lyon, the ex-wife of Lucious Lyon ( Terrence Howard ), the head of a record label at the center of the drama. The character is described as a total badass who has just been released from prison after serving 17 years for dealing drugs -- money she funneled into Lucious' then-fledgling music empire. Released for good behavior, she now wants what's hers. She's the real force behind his rise to superstardom and champions her son Jamal's (Smollett) career, but that puts her at odds with her ex, who has an issue with their son's homosexuality.   Source While on the red carpet for her hosting gig as the new host ...
