Empire Films Red Carpet Scene At Rialto Square Theater
Fox returned to the Rialto Square Theater to film a red carpet scene for the Empire TV show. The theater was packed with 400 extras as Empire took over Van Buren St. The street had to be blocked off and numerous trucks and trailers were there for the filming.
The Herald News reports that crew members stopped at Gji’s Sweet Shoppe, located across the street from the theater, to buy Taraji P. Henson gummy bears, her favorite treat.
Rialto Square Theater
Empire is not the first to film at the Rialto. “The Babe” a 1992 movie about Babe Ruth, filmed scenes at the theater along with “Stir of Echoes” a 1999 film starring Kevin Bacon.
The Rialto Square Theater opened it 1926 as a vaudeville movie palace. The Rialto is one of the most beautifully designed theaters in the world.
Duchess Chandelier Rialto Square Theater
The amazing chandelier in the rotunda is called “The Duchess.” The crystal chandelier in one of the largest in the nation, measuring 20 ft in length with 200 fixtures and 250 lights.
I see why Empire chose the Rialto Square Theater as the show continues to motivate us to dream big, sparkle more and shine bright!

Fan Edit Teaser for Alien: Covenant (2017) Prometheus Sequel – using Alien: Isolation footage
Posted by Alien: Covenant on Saturday, February 27, 2016
Production for the new Alien’s movie is set to start in March.
Despite the success of 2012’s Prometheus many Alien fans complained about the movie failing to include the franchise’s original creatures except at the end when Deacon appears. Alien Covenant will not have this problem as Ridley Scott has already informed fans that the new film will feature H.R. Giger’s Xenomorph in its various terrifying forms.
Scott explained to The Wrap, “We’ll have them all, egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, then the big boy.”
Alien Covenant connects directly with Ridley Scott’s 1979 seminal science fiction work. The film begins with colony ship Covenant on a voyage to a planet on the far side of the galaxy.
Covenant then finds what they believe to be an unchartered paradise yet it is actually a very dangerous world. The film is set to release on October 6, 2017!
“Transformation literally means going beyond your form.” -Wayne Dyer
Karen Lynn Accattato, Empire’s head makeup artist, is an expert in storytelling. She approaches her craft as creative collaboration to interpret story through skin. This approach was used to transform Jamal Lyon from a struggling artist in the show’s first season to one of the most successful artist in the world.
Jamal now sports facial hair and he no longer shaves his head. Jamal’s beard represents his dominance of the music industry and Accattato’s ability to transform actors to suit their roles.
Jamal Lyon
When you are a good storyteller listeners don’t ask questions as they are often far too entertained. This is certainly the case with Jamal Lyon who was broke one short season ago and now he is Pepsi’s leading man. The visual image that Accattato creates mesmerizes forcing them to fall in love with the show’s storyline.
You cannot replace experience with talent. Accattato has over 30 years of experience and has worked with everyone from Jamie Foxx to President Barak Obama.

Experience makes experts. At the Golden Globes, Empire star Taraji P. Henson had to remind the teleprompter that she was an expert as she refused to cut her acceptance speech short.
Accattato has used her expertise on Henson’s character Cookie Lyon who has transformed from an inmate with no makeup to a diva who loved to show off her over the top eyelashes and that bold lipstick.
The second season of Empire introduced us to yet another Cookie Lyon: While the CEO of Lyon Dynasty has not worn as much animal print we have seen more color in her hair and makeup enhancing her powerful personality.
Cookie Lyon
We saw Cookie’s hood side in her epic cat fight with Anika. Empire creator Lee Daniels says that Anika’s makeup must always be flawless and Accattato has delivered nothing less. Anika’s makeup is so perfect that fans have bombarded her demanding details on the cosmetics she uses to tell the story of Anika Calhoun.
Anika Calhoun
While Anika’s makeup is flawless, the issues she’s dealing with on the show have led many fans to conclude that she pushed Rhonda!?
As Accattato used makeup to enhance Anika’s traumatic experiences she transformed Rhonda into an expecting mother with a 60s modern day look.
Rhonda Lyon
For Rhonda’s husband Andre, Accattato prioritizes authenticity. Men typically do not wear makeup in real life therefore she does not use makeup on the show’s male actors.
Accattato’s experience has taught her how important it is to use the right products to accomplish a desired look. The talented artist uses Dove Men+Care Sensitive Wash on the guys as oppose to makeup.
Andre Lyon
Empire’s second season began with Andre struggling to get back into his father’s good graces as Lucious is experiencing problems of his own. In Empire’s initial season Lucious has a head full of hair and he always looks flawless. Accattato transforms Lucious into a man on a mission.
Lucious Lyon
Lucious’ shaved head symbolizes his aggression and toughness as he attempts to regain control of Empire, the company that was taken from him by his son Hakeem. Similar to his father Hakeem loves hip-hop. Accattato uses an old-school ’80s look on Hakeem including a slice in his eyebrow.
Hakeem Lyon
Karen Lynn Accattato will continue to work intimately with our favorite Empire stars, transforming their captivating journeys through her skillful storytelling capabilities.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were recently in the news thanks to the lake they are building in their backyard and Monday morning the newest addition of the Kardashian-West clan made major headlines. Scroll to the bottom of this articles for details on Saint West’s birthday.
In the adorable image Saint is wearing a white thermal onesie while enjoying some sleepy time.
We are certain that Kanye can’t wait to get some fur on his son as we have already seen North West sporting hers:

Kim wrote the following: “Today is my dad’s birthday. I know there’s nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all.”
February 22, 2016 would have been Robert Kardashian’s 72nd birthday. He died of esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003. He was 59 years old.
Kim Kardashian shared the image of her 3-month old son via her app and website Monday morning.

The Kanye Drake Facts pool debate continues with recent news that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are replacing their pool with a lake. The following image shows that there is a huge hole where Kim and Kanye’s pool used to be:
Kanye Drake Pool Lake Debate
According to reports, the lake will be fully filtered and 5-times larger than any other backyard oasis in Hidden Hills.
In Kanye West’s single Facts the Chicago rapper uses Drake and Future’s ‘Jumpman’ to diss Nike, explaining that if the brand didn’t have Drizzy they wouldn’t have anything.
In Drake’s single Summer Sixteen the Toronto rapper attacks the size of Kanye’s pool: “I used to wanna be on Roc-A-Fella then I turned into Jay. Now I got a house in L.A., now I got a bigger pool than Ye. And look, man, Ye’s pool is nice, mine’s just bigger is what I’m sayin’.”
Drake loves swimming pools, explaining to Rolling Stone: “I’m obsessed with, like, residential pools. One of my goals in life is to have the biggest residential pool on the planet.”
Here are pics of Drake’s pool at his Hidden Hills residence:
Justin and Janet’s accident during the 2004 Super Bowl caused major controversy yet it cannot compare to the response Beyonce’s Superbowl performance has received. The Black Panther inspired costumes Beyonce’s dancers wore caused a former marine to send the following message via Twitter:
Beyonce Superbowl Performance
The award-winning singer has reignited the Black Lives Matter movement despite the fact that she has not even made a speech. Could you imagine this marine’s response if Beyonce would have pulled an Angela Davis:
The backlash to Beyonce’s Super Bowl performance may impact her concert, with a police group in Miami announcing that they refuse to attend her concert scheduled for April 27.
Beyonce is not the only artist experiencing difficulties with authority figures. Rappers Skate Maloley and Derek Luh were injured last night in a scuffle with security guards. Similar Beyonce the rappers explain that there was a misunderstanding. I don’t think Beyonce expected the response that she has received:
A week after Beyonce’s performance protesters attempted to hold a boycott outside of NFL headquarters in Manhattan, New York yet only a few protestors showed up.
Charlamagne recently appeared on The Blaze, Tomi Lohren’s online news show. The two had a heated debate about Beyonce’s halftime performance.
SNL Beyonce is Black
The perfect response to Beyonce’s halftime show came from SNL: Beyonce is black
The skit shows white people that did not understand Beyonce’s new song, Formation.
Skate Maloley’s Webster Hall
The two were performing on their sold-out Skaterade Tour in Manhattan, New York at the Webster Hall when violence erupted.

The police were called as the situation worsened. Derek and Skate both suffered numerous cuts and bruises.
It’s easy to react with rage in situations like these yet you must remember that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They’re sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.
Nate Skate Maloley
According to rumors, the situation started because of marijuana. Nate was allegedly warned that he would not be allowed to smoke weed yet he allegedly refused to abide.
Skate was born on January 17, 1995 in Omaha, Nebraska. In 2013, he posted a Vine video and since then he has been pursuing his career. The talented rapper currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
What is Skate Maloley’s Snapchat
Many Nate Skate Maloley fans have been asking: what is Skate Maloley’s Snapchat?
Derek Luh is a 21-year-old rapper previously signed with Fly America in 2013. In 2014, the young artist was ranked #9 on Fox Weekly’s artist to watch list. Derek Luh’s Snapchat is +Derek_Luh
Taraji P. Henson’s new movie, ‘Term Life’ will also feature Terrence Howard. Lucious and Cookie Lyon are truly BFFs as the dynamic duo can’t seem to get enough of each other!

Taraji P. Henson First Movie
It’s difficult to believe that Taraji P. Henson’s first movie, ‘Streetwise‘ was released in 1998, nearly 20 years ago.
The movie was directed by Bruce Brown and tells the story of Washington, D.C.’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Henson plays Tammy in the film.
Taraji Henson Hot
It took ‘Formation’ for everyone to realize that Beyonce is black and it took Empire for everyone to realize Taraji Henson’s hot! The award-winning actress’ throwback scenes from Streetwise prove that she has been doing the damn thing for 20 years!
Taraji Henson’s hot new movie, ‘Term Life‘ is to be released on April 29, 2016!
