While promoting her upcoming gender-swapped remake of Nancy Meyers box office hit What Women Want on Wednesday night, Taraji P. Henson was asked by a reporter from the Associated Press whether or not she knew what Kanye West really meant by his mid-week Twitter rant. Both she and Angela Bassett, who joined her for the…

Exciting news for fans of Taraji P. Henson, Janet Mock, and/or print media: Henson is on the cover of October’s Marie Claire and Mock wrote the profile you’ll find inside. While the full piece won’t be available until next week (Hearst loves a tease), MC shared a few choice quotes to get us hyped.
Action, adventure, women wearing wigs while kicking ass. That’s all I want in a movie, yet the fact that Proud Mary also stars Taraji P. Henson is a huge bonus.
Now before we dig into this week’s frankly huge investigation, I have a little fun for you guys: this incredible interview with Gwen Stefani’s (yes, she of the impeccable platinum locks) colorist. Of course he credits some of her look to the magical power of leave-in conditioner, but listen to these details about how…

Wow, was tonight an interminable parade of the wealthy and affectless. Here are all the people going home happier than they left.
GET YOUR FILTHY MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER. Taraji P. Henson won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama Sunday night and literally marched through the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton, passing out cookies to Leonardo DiCaprio (and others), which was nice and also hilarious, since Leo had not yet won…
For a brief day and a half the world thought it had rid itself of the romance between a grown man who pronounces his name like a baby and a teen with a mansion. We were not so lucky.
Empire’s Season 2 premiere was an auspicious one, to say the least. In the first several minutes, a host of cameos by people (including Rev. Al Sharpton, André Leon Talley) and designers (two mentions of Tom Ford, plus Gucci, albeit “last season”) exemplified how much cachet the show has garnered after just one…
