Taraji P. Henson lands the cover of Angeleno Magazine’s newest issue. And we have her spring cover. We also have the season 2 trailer of “The World’s Most Expensivest Sh*t”, starring rapper 2 Chainz. More inside….
As “Empire” continues to slay tv ratings and become the “IT” show of the season, Taraji P. Henson’s notoriety is steadily climbing. As it should. And now, she has landed on yet another magazine cover, serving as only she can.
Along with shocking us every week on the hit FOX series, the 44-year-old YBF chick lands the cover of Angeleno magazine’s March 2015 Spring Fashion issue. And she’s serving, per usual.
In the cover story, Taraji Penda (which means love and hope in Swahili) talks about her character Cookie Lyon’s style evolution upon entering the real world after doing a 17-year bid in prisonand how her style compares and differs to Cookie's fashion choices. The Addicted star also shares how she brings Cookie to life on the small screen.
The Washington D.C. native then gets into how she almost decided to not pursue acting after she was rejected from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. She said she decided to go into the sciences to pursue an electrical engineering degree at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. But, once she failed pre-calculus, she realized her true passion was acting and went back to chasing her ultimate dream.
Strongly in her corner, she said her father urged her to follow her heart, so she transferred to Howard University to study acting. Although she gave birth to her son during her junior year, that didn’t stop her grind. She ended up graduating from Howard with a degree in theatre arts. Once she got her degree, she packed up and she and her baby boy moved to L.A.
So glad she stuck to what she loves!
Below are the highlights of Taraji speaking on her most powerful character to date and more:
On why she loves her character Cookie Lyon:
“I love her. She’s the truth. That’s why people feel her so strong and deep,” says Henson. “Yes, she sold drugs. And, yes, that’s one of the worst things anyone could possibly do. But Cookie did it to feed her family. She also manned up, did her time and broke the cycle of poverty. ... Now if she were rich and selling drugs, that’s another matter entirely.”
On Cookie’s fashion:
“She’s been in jail for 17 years, so she starts out in a time warp. We get to see her have not only a character arc but a fashion arc too! Like Cookie, I love color, and I love prints; but I wouldn’t wear all prints everywhere… and then add the major shoes… and then the makeup and hair… and then the jewelry! My personal style is a more restrained chic,” says Henson, who admits to sharing Cookie’s fondness for animal prints but not for wearing fur. “I don’t judge, but if I feel fur, I want it to be attached to my dog who’s licking me to tell me he loves me.” And that bling? She laughs. “The designers Usually show me three trays of jewelry, and I just put it all on. Cookie didn’t grow up with anything, she wants everybody to know she’s rich.”On starring as Cookie Lyon:
“I know I’m good at playing characters that could be stereotypical, but I make them real. And I do that by playing why they’re the way they are. Then an audience can understand them, maybe even like them.” And how does Henson feel about Cookie? “I love her. She’s the truth. That’s why people feel her so strong and deep,” says Henson. “Yes, she sold drugs. And, yes, that’s one of the worst things anyone could possibly do. But Cookie did it to feed her family. She also manned up, did her time and broke the cycle of poverty. ... Now if she were rich and selling drugs, that’s another matter entirely.”
On her childhood:
As an only child who was born to parents who split when she was young, she was was raised by her mother in a rough area of southeastern Washington, D.C. Her mom, Bernice Gordon, worked in a distribution center for a local department store; her dad, Boris, who played an important role in her life, was a maintenance man and freelance metal worker. “We never lived in the projects, but we were in the ’hood, lower middle class, living paycheck to paycheck,” says Henson.On failing pre-calculus while pursuing an electrical engineering degree:
“And it wasn’t even calc! And I had two tutors! How was I going to be an engineer!” she says. “But then I Figured, so what? Deep down I knew I still wanted to be an actress. I had an English class in the theater arts building. I’d see all those crazy and eclectic people, and I knew I was one of them.”On her dad’s inspirational words:
‘"How do you expect to catch fish on dry land?’ he asked me. The lines, the wisdom, the truth… I put a lot of my dad into Cookie,” she says.

Nicole Murphy flossed that flawless bikini bod of hers in Miami yesterday, while new mom Kelly Rowland was spotted fresh from a workout. Pics inside...
Nicole Murphy doesn't give anybody a chance to forget how much of a bad chick she is, after 5 kids and after recently celebrating her 47th birthday:
The single bikini babe has been rumored to be dating Nick Cannon after her breakup with Michael Strahan, but we can't say we're fully convinced of it yet.
But we do know she's in Miami to do a photoshoot, likely for her Destiny Moscato brand. So she chilled on the beach in her purple bikini Friday afternoon with friends and her team:
Yep, they're still there.
Fun times.
And over in Cali:
Kelly Rowland braved the slight chill and was spotted fresh off her workout. The singer and new mom was all smiles while stopping to buy some fresh juice. Chick has been working hard to to bounce back into shape following the birth of little Titan. And she's teamed up again with celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins for their "Get Your Body Back" campaign.
Work!

Meagan Good is heading to FOX in a new drama pilot titled "Minority Report." Get the deets inside and see what Halle Berry revealed about aging and colorism in Hollywood.
Add Meagan Good to the long list of Hollywood Blacktresses who've made the leap from the big screen to a lead role on the small screen. Joining Halle Berry "Extant", Kerry Washington "Scandal", Viola Davis "HTGAWM" and Taraji P. Henson "Empire", Meagan has landed the lead in a new FOX pilot titled "Minority Report." It won't be Meagan's first time starring on the small screen (she led the now cancelled series "Deception"), but this one might be the charm.
What is "Minority Report"? It's billed as the sequel to the Steven Spielberg-directed movie (of the same name), set 10 years after the end of Precrime in D.C. If you're not familiar with the movie (which starred Tom Cruise), "PreCrime" was a specialized police department which apprehended criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics called "precogs". Based on our current landscape in America, it sounds a little like foreshadowing, doesn't it?
In the new FOX series, one of the three Precogs, Dash, struggles to lead a “normal” human life, but remains haunted by visions of the future. Then he meets detective Lara Vega (Meagan Good). Lara, who's haunted by her own past, links up with Dash to break a few rules and use his gift to her advantage.
The pilot was written by Max Borenstein and directed by Mark Mylod. Meagan's supporting cast includes Laura Regan, Daniel London and Li Jun Li. FYI - Meagan also has a recurring role on NBC's upcoming comedy series "Mr. Robinson."
In other television news...
While filming the second season of her hit CBS-series "Extant", Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry opened up to The Guardian's G2 magazine about her struggles in Hollywood. During the interview, which was reprinted by Daily Mail, Halle was asked about aging in Hollywood. And she quickly turned the conversation to race saying, "I've always had a hard time getting roles."
Highlighting the struggle of being both a Blacktress and aging, Halle revealed that it doesn't get any easier. But she's still making moves in Hollywood.
On getting roles past age 40: 'I've always had a hard time getting roles, being of color, so I've got as many available to me as I've always had - there's no difference for me'.
On her "acting" inspirations: 'I'm inspired though, when I see how many people of color are doing such good work out there. The real win is when we're not just selling stories of color, that people of color can be in everyday stories.'
Agreed. And that's exactly what she's doing with "Extant". Keep up the hustle Halle!
