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...

Lee Daniels is living thee LIFE!! Not only does he have one of the hottest newest shows out, he's BFFs with Oprah Winfrey and he get to hang out with Taraji P. Henson in all her awesomeness Over the weekend while in Las Vegas, Daniels got to hang out with Mariah Carey and had the opportunity to catch Taraji on video twerking, She's troubled ... #deeplytroubledtoday #smh #iaintshitforthis @tarajiphenson A video posted by Lee Daniels (@theoriginalbigdaddy) on May 24, 2015 at 4:50pm PDT Forget the twerking, I want the deets on her curls....and dem brothas in the background.

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 .

It's sounding like it!! Taraji P. Henson has always been haute shit to me (and it doesn't hurt that she is a DMV local) but it looks like the masses didn't catch on until Empire but that's cool... we she'll take it. Anywho, with her first stint as a host on Saturday Night Live over the weekend Taraji has finally arrived (to the masses) and with appearance now there's talks of a memoir according to USA Today. The 37 INK/Atria Publishing Group announced Thursday it will publish the as-yet-untitled memoirs by the Oscar-nominated Henson, whose role as the scenery-chewing, finger-wagging Cookie has made her a breakout star of the hit Fox series. I really pray folks aren't thinking Cookie Lyon is writing a book nor that Taraji's life is anything like that... Go, Taraji!! source

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...

We've been hearing a lot about the casting of Lee Daniels ' new Fox hip hop drama Empire but now we get to see a little of the show in action. What are we thinking? Will you tune in?

Lee Daniels director behind Precious and The Butler may have another hit in his hands venturing into network television for the first time. Daniel's new show Empire which will air in early 2015 on Fox has acquired the rights to Naomi Campbell 's acting capabilities. Campbell will star alongside Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard  on the hip hop drama with what is being dubbed a reoccurring role. The show will also feature the musical talents of Timbaland as well. The family drama is set in the world of a hip-hop empire and stars  Taraji P. Henson  as Cookie Lyon, the ex-wife of Lucious Lyon ( Terrence Howard ), the head of a record label at the center of the series.    Campbell will portray Camilla, an alluring woman involved in a steamy affair with the much-younger Hakeem (newcomer  Bryshere   Gray ), the potential heir to Lucious' throne. Tasha exercises considerable influence over Hakeem. With such star studded talent starring and p...

Despite abruptly cancelling the film's screening nationwide   No Good Deed starring Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson who also serves as executive producer was the box office winner this weekend raking in over $24 million.  “There is a plot twist in the film that the studio does not want to reveal as it will affect the audiences’ experience when they see the film in theaters.” As some of you may know Guardians of the Galaxy has held on to the number spot at the box office for over four weeks having made over $600 million worldwide making the film the highest grossing film of the year thus far. But that fact didn't deter Sony . "It's a movie that we really loved and felt that it was going to win," said Sony distribution chief  Rory Bruer . "You have to give it to the cast in Idris and Taraji. Their chemistry together is fantastic." Oddly enough Taraji had doubt in the faith of big studios when it came to her work.  "Network ex...

If you don't have anything nice to say keep your mouth closed... Be sure to check out Taraji in her new film No Good Deed for which she stars and is also an executive producer in theatres this Friday. I'm sure Idris sold the ladies with the shower scene...

I usually don't buy into the thriller type movies but this trailer had me speechless. I'm not ready to see someone trying to kill Taraji P. Henson on the big screen...definitely not Idris Elba with his British accent but I now must see it. A wife and mother of two, lives an ideal life that takes a turn when her family is threatened by a stranger who talks his way into her house, claiming car trouble. The unexpected invitation leaves her terrorized and fighting for survival. - Source Woah, chile!! I'm telling you if he kills Taraji in this movie...

The always beautiful and spunky Taraji P. Henson stopped by The Arsenio Hall Show last night where she was surprised by her BFF Tyrese Gibson who she played his on-screen love in the John Singleton film ' Baby Boy '. During the interview Taraji let the beans spill that Tyrese cried before their love making scene in the film. As much as Tyrese irks my soul Taraji almost makes me like him for a brief second. I don't understand how some as likable as Taraji would adore a man like him...although he is fine as wine with his mouth closed. BTW, I didn't think this was a coincidental surprise until I watched a second time and saw Taraji's reaction and that big kiss she planted on Tyrese's lips. Mmmm hmmm ...if he wasn't so annoying I'd recommend she date him he seems genuine with her oddly enough.

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 ...

I'm usually over all over Taraji P. Henson's style but this all black number she rocked on the Late Show with David Letterman last week to promote her CBS show Person of Interest has me uninterested. If all else fails, Taraji's personality can pick up where he ensemble lacks. I love pant suits but they must be dayum near tailored to your soul not to look dated as this look appears. However, without the jacket the suit looks a little better. Earlier in November at the LA premiere of Mandela , Taraji opted for another suit but this time the fit and flair from her accessories kept her look more up to date. A little left field here...but wouldn't they make a nice couple?

FROM THE ROUGH is based on the true story of Catana Starks, a former swim coach at Tennessee State University who became the first woman ever to coach a college men's golf team. With drive, passion, and guts, she took an unruly group of mismatched kids from around the world and guided them to an all-time record at the PGA National Collegiate Minority Championship. From what I see the movie doesn't look that entertaining but it's actors and actresses like the late Michael Clarke Duncan and Taraji P. Henson who make you want to see certain movies...plus this is a true story and Nosee loves those.

I know I said I would keep the BET Awards posts to a minimal today but I don't think I can keep that lie going plus this is a fashion post anyway. Anywho, check out Taraji P. Henson in an Izmaylova dress and Jimmy Choo heels. The sheer and leather coupling of this dress is giving me LIFE!! I love it, y'all know half of the stuff that I post involving fashion I do so that I won't forget when it comes time to do some damage. I'd wear rock this dress!! Sorry Ciara and Ashanti , but Taraji is my fav look of the night!

In case you didn't know it, Think Like A Man Too is already filming with stars like Taraji P. Henson , Meagan Good ,  Regina Hall and  Gabrielle Union returning with the majority of the original cast. I say majority because I am not quite sure if they ALL came back like the cast of The Best Man . Anywho, the ladies been having a ball on and off set letting fans in on their fun via social networks which is how Miss Union is our motivation today. LaLa Anthony posted some pool time fun photos to her Instagram on Monday that compliment Gabby's bod well...very well. How cute and petite is she?! Are you motivated?
