    Taraji P. Henson is a go-getter.  There’s no opportunity she doesn’t take advantage of.  When she saw that her Hidden Figures co-star, Octavia Spencer, got her hands on some candy before her she asked the actress if she was sharing.  When Taraji finally got her hands on some candy she couldn’t hide her excitement!

    10. “Get Off My Train” – Taraji was in Cookie mode at the 2016 Golden Globes.  She screamed at a guy that was helping her up the stairs, giving us flashbacks of some of her heated arguments with Lucious.

    9. Wipe Me Down – Taraji loves Terrence Howard but they have to do enough kissing as Cookie and Lucious Lyon.  After Terrence decided to kiss Henson’s cheek at the 2015 Emmys, Taraji decided that she’d rather not have a face full of the actor’s germs.

    8. “That’s My Best Friend, My Best Friend, My Best Friend!” – If you wanted an actress that hides her excitement you shouldn’t have invited Taraji.  When Regina King won Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role in American Crime, Henson lost it.

    7. Hidden Figures No More! At the 2017 SAG Awards, Taraji delivered an amazing speech.  Prior to her speech she looked into the camera and let the world know how excited she was.  She calmed down at just the right time to accept her trophy and hug Nicole Kidman.

    6. One For You… – At the 2016 Golden Globes Cookie handed out cookies! She later explained that cookies were on the table so she just decided to hand them out.  You have to love Taraji.  Give her a dull moment and she’ll create magic every time.

    5. The Original Cash Me Ousside – Henson read some mean tweets for Jimmy Kimmel and her reaction wasn’t quite as calm as other celebrities.  Danielle Bregoli coined the phrase “Cash Me Ousside” and we’re pretty sure she was motivated by Taraji’s “Meet Me Outside” response:

    4. Sharing Is Caring – At the 2017 Oscars, Octavia Spencer got some candy that dropped out the sky before Henson and Taraji wasn’t happy.  She asked her Hidden Figures co-star if she was sharing in the most adorable way we’ve ever seen!

    3. “You Gon Wait” – At the 2016 Golden Globes the teleprompter advised Henson to wrap her speech up.  Taraji let him know that she wouldn’t be wrapping up in epic fashion.  20 years of hard work means she can take as long as she wants.

    2. Jealousy Is A Lack Of Self-Confidence – When Henson lost to Viola Davis at the 2015 Emmys, Taraji showed us all how to consider the bigger picture.  Davis won Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series, becoming the first black actress to win the award.  Taraji knew the achievement was bigger than her and showed how proud she was of Viola.

    Easy Street Lyrics The Walking Dead Song

    The Walking Dead brought back the best worst song of all-time: “Easy Street.” The last time we heard it was episode 3 of season 7, “The Cell.” Scroll to the end of this article to take a quiz to determine how well you know the song’s lyrics.  If you couldn’t get the song out your head the first time, prepare for round 2!

    In episode 7 of The Walking Dead season 11, “Hostiles and Calamities” we see Eugene turn on the music player and hear “Easy Street.” Unlike Daryl, Eugene loves the catchy song.

    Easy Street lyrics are provided in this post.  The Walking Dead song was played over and over to Daryl.  The third episode of The Walking Dead‘s seventh season, “The Cell” featured Daryl Dixon as Negan’s prisoner.  Dixon’s being held at the Saviors’ Sanctuary and he can’t think or sleep because the song, “Easy Street” by The Collapsable Hearts Club keeps playing.

     

    The Walking Dead is back and better than ever! Check out the lyrics to the song below!

    We’re on easy street
    And it feels so sweet
    Cause the world is but a treat
    When you’re on easy street
    And we’re breaking out the good champagne
    We’re sitting pretty on the gravy train
    And when we sing every sweet refrain repeats
    Right here on easy street
    It’s our moment in the sun
    And it’s only just begun
    It’s time to have a little fun
    We’re inviting you to come and see why you should be
    On easy street
    Yea we got a front row seat
    O, to a life that can’t be beat
    Right here on easy street

    It’s our moment in the sun
    And it’s only just begun
    It’s time to have a little fun
    And we’re inviting you to come and see why you should be

  • Taraji P. Henson And Jackie Chan – Oscars 2017

    Taraji P. Henson And Jackie Chan – Oscars 2017

    Taraji P. Henson and Jackie Chan were very excited to see each other at the 2017 Oscars.  The two actors teamed up in the 2010 film The Karate Kid.  Taraji embraced Jackie after he ran towards her at the event.  The video at the end of this article shows the unforgettable moment.  Chan was carrying two stuffed pandas to represent two pandas he adopted in China.

    Taraji P. Henson brought out the real-life Katherine Johnson during 2017 Oscars.  She plays the mathematician in Hidden Figures.  Johnson is 98-years-old.  The Oscars crowd gave her a standing ovation, marking yet another unforgettable Oscars moment for Taraji P. Henson.

    Chance the Rapper approved of Taraji’s gorgeous dress:

    Chance and Taraji were spotted showing each other love at the Grammys:

    Some Empire fans think the series has too many guest stars but I disagree.  We would love to see both Jackie Chan and Chance the Rapper on Empire.  Jackie could make an appearance as one of Lucious’ enemies.  An action-packed fight scene between Chan and Terrence Howard would be epic.

    Chance the Rapper could play a new Empire Entertainment’s artist.  The rapper is from Chicago just like Ta’rhonda Jones aka Porsha.  Chance could be Porsha’s new love interest on the series.  What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

  • Chance The Rapper supports “Get Out” in a big way

    Chance The Rapper supports “Get Out” in a big way

    Chicago native Chance the Rapper is supporting the new horror film “Get Out” in a big way.

    Chance the Rapper bought all the tickets to the film at a local theater, just so fans could see the movie.“I bought all the tickets to #GetOut at Chatham Theatre on 87th Just pull up with ID and enjoy the movie,” he wrote on Twitter.

    Chance The Rapper Get Out

    Chance has seen the movie adding, “DID I NOT TELL YALL #GETOUT WAS INCREDIBLE!! BEST FILM ACROSS ANY GENRE IN AWHILE GO SEE IT TODAY!

    The film is get out. It is a horror film that also deals with interracial dating. The director has described the film as “a horror spin on “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” for the post-Obama age”.

    Chance has become his own brand in a lot of ways. Chance is not signed to a record label. He controls himself. He releases his music for free and makes revenue through the sale of concert tickets
    or apparel like his famous #3 hat. Time will determine if Chance The Rapper has staying power and more importantly influence beyond music.

    Certain athletes and musical figures have that power to promote beyond their immediate sphere. Lebron James or The Rock certainly come to mind.

  • Taraji P. Henson – Nicki Minaj Remy Ma Beef “Karma”

    Taraji P. Henson – Nicki Minaj Remy Ma Beef “Karma”

    Taraji P. Henson aka Cookie Lyon left her two cents about the Nicki Minaj Remy Ma beef in Remy’s comments.  The Empire star whose character was mentioned on Remy’s diss track ShETHER left “@remyma AKA Karma 😂😂😂💋💋💋” in response to Remy Ma’s level of petty Instagram post.  Scroll to the screenshot to see Henson’s response.

    The response surprised many that remember Taraji’s 2015 SNL appearance.  The video at the end of this post shows Henson imitate Nicki in a hilarious skit.

    Henson was asked if she’s #TeamNicki or #TeamRemy at the 2017 Oscars and she responded with one of her signature Cookie faces:

    The pic below shows Taraji’s response to Remy’s level of petty post:
    Taraji P. Henson Nicki Minaj Remy Ma Beef

    Taraji and Nicki are exact opposites.  Henson’s the humble type.  She has put in decades of hard work and is finally receiving the recognition she deserves.  Nicki can be arrogant.  She reminds the world that she’s the best female rapper alive on a regular basis.

    Remy Ma was arrogant on shETHER but she’s typically humble.  Remy is more approachable than Nicki.  Despite Remy’s attempted murder charge that led to seven years in jail, she doesn’t have an untouchable attitude like Nicki Minaj.  Lil Wayne, the head of Nicki’s record label, Young Money Entertainment could be the reason Nicki’s arrogant.

  • “Hidden Fences” Mishap Strikes Again

    “Hidden Fences” Mishap Strikes Again

    The 2017 Oscars are underway but there has already been a major flub. The Oscar nominated movies “Hidden Figures” (starring our girl Taraji P Henson) and “Fences” (starring Denzel Washington) have already been referred to as “Hidden Fences”.  This is the SECOND time in the award season that this has happened.

    The first was at the Golden Globes on the red carpet when Jenna Bush Hager
    was interviewing Pharrell Williams who was nominated for best original score
    for “Hidden Figures”. When Jenna accidentally referred to it as “Hidden
    Fences”, Pharrell gave a very confused look which was caught on camera. Later
    that night when Michael Keaton was presenting Golden Globe nominees he also
    used the title “Hidden Fences”. This time People Magazine editor in chief, Jess Cagle, made the same mistake on the red carpet (luckily both Jenna Bush Hager and Jess Cagle have apologized).

    Hidden Fences Oscars

    The incidents made people think about if the mash-up could
    have been avoided. Do these people not care enough to even get the names of two
    separate (that just so happens to have black leads) movies right? It is a
    prestigious award show meaning presentations should have been rehearsed and red
    carpet questions should have been carefully practiced before the big night to
    avoid any mistakes. Especially with something as simple, yet important, of a
    task such as getting the names right.

    Actor Bill Paxton who played a Polygamist on the HBO series ‘Big Love’ and also starred on ‘Twister’ and the reboot series on CBS, ‘Training Day’ has sadly passed away at the young age of 61-years-old. He also appeared in ‘Aliens’ as well as other movies including ‘The Terminator’ ‘Weird Science’ ‘Predator 2’ and much more.
    According to The Hollywood Reporter, his family made a statement Sunday about his death stating:
    “It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery.” 

    They also talked about how he was a loving husband and father and how he began his career in Hollywood. According to his family, Paxton had a true love for the arts and actually started his career working on film in the arts department. He then went on to act in many different TV shows and movies.
    He passed away on the same day as the 89th annual Academy Awards. Surely, he will be remembered during the show.
    Paxton was a native Texan and worked with many people during his career including James Cameron. Cameron gave Paxton his first job in Hollywood as part of his crew at night. This was back in the 1970s before Cameron became a big Hollywood director when he was actually just a production designer at the time. Cameron called Paxton “a great human” during an interview with ‘Vanity Fair.’

    Paxton will be sadly missed by friends and family and everyone who watched him on TV and in movies.
