Boobalopbop right gorgeous;))
miss breezy heyy beautiful:)) hehe you watch Wendy too:))
Rose Kimberly you know it🙌🙌
I love her. I remember seeing her in Babyboy and being like "umm this chick is gonna be everywhere she's an amazing actress" she stays working but Im surprised I havent seen her in more.
I agree 100percent
Yes I saw her in baby boy, then a show on lifetime I think she was an investigator or a cop. Then b.e.t. started killin baby boy on repeat, that's when she really blew up. I was so happy when she got that person of interest show. She was in Benjamin button...she is a great actress and seems like a great person in real life
"I hate you Joey"
That's my wife
*Jody ?
"lucious put my baby into a trash can" and then her expression 😂😂
I love Taraji! She is so animated and hilarious. Love the show!
Taraji and Terrence. Best chemistry ever!💋
Melissa Miramon Taraji. and. Michael Ealy have good chemistry
That's kind of embarrassing that Wendy doesn't know anything about the show and keeps messing information up. At least Taraji is classy about it. :)
Exactly
aprilmay90585 Doesn't she normally have to read up on her guests? I think over the years she has stopped trying. I love Wendy but she isn't as fresh as she used to be.
+aprilmay90585 I bet she does now..the show is huuuuge
+aprilmay90585 ... So disappointing.
It's kinda stupid that she didn't watch the show when she knew she'll be interviewing the star the next day!!
Taraji is the 'It factor' on every level‼️👏👏👏 I debated about watching Empire, until I realized she was on it. It is worth watching just to see her. She is pure entertainment. Thank you Wendy and staff for securing her as a guest so soon after the shows premiered. It adds a bit of spice‼️🔥✨💫❤️💋
" I ain't fighting K.Michelle" "That was a serious joke" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Fucking amazing show. It was really captivating. It had drama of every level, scheming, backstabbing, killings, conspiracies, drugs, sex, homosexuality lol, and everything you can think of.
"... amazing show. It was really captivating. It had drama of every level, scheming, backstabbing, killings, conspiracies, drugs, sex, homosexuality lol, and everything you can think of..."
ERR, WELL.... I see what you said and saw what was shown, and, can, CAN think of a LOT more...a LOT MORE than that!!!
Seriously like I need to take a sedative to ease my anxiety in anticipation for the next episode ! It's damming to my health
Lay "V.I.P." Royalty I love what you wrote but I love that gorgeous image in your avatar more!
Ueggw
Finally. About time people recognize the hatred against homosexuality. People don't realize how fucking hurtful it is to be hated for something a person can't help. We don't have an agenda to break up straight marriages, nor do we plan on attacking anyone with our gayness. We just want to be treated as people and not pests.
Needless to say, this sow is fucking amazing.
when Terrence "Lucious" Howard threw his son in the TRASH...tears started running down on my chicks, not that I experienced that kinda situation but as a BLACK GAY MAN, that could've been me or it may have ACTUALLY happened to another gay brother or/and sister.
Overall, that show is fuckin GREAT and the ACTING if OFF THE CHARTS
So heartbreaking & actually happened to lee Daniels
jcdoakes BRIGITTE BARDOT (google her out) once said: "The more I know men, the more I love my dogs"...like how can we pride ourselves of being BETTER and ABOVE animals yet our actions show otherwise?
As a HUMAN BEING, how can you throw your CHILD...I can't even finish my sentence
Exactly it's so heartbreaking !! That's why I'm so glad he's telling this story & showing this side of things bc most tv shows just make homosexuality look all peachy like everyone is so sweet but some are very mean
i'm not a gay guy but to think that someone could hate their son for their sexuality is heartbreaking so i had the same reaction
Lee Daniels stated in an interview that this scene happened to him when he was little. When they were filming he stated he had to look away... I think it was kinda therapeutic for him.
I remember her role as Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. God she was incredible.
+Alistair Drennan Great movie.
I love that Movie 🥰
Wow, Taraji is absolutely gorgeous! Love her hair and makeup, too.... perfect! :)
There is something very genuine about Taraji that is really alluring. The show looks really good too.
Taraji is so fierce on Empire. She's such a good actress, great personality and smokin' hot.
I totally agree with Taraji! Guys dont want to date anymore!
True
JuicyPrada I know the dudes in the audience was mad when she said that lol
Preach.. guys do not court anymore
Would take you on a date anytime!
That is the truth! I was just talking about that, then came across this interview.
"Seriously where's the WINE!!!!!" Lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOVE Taraji! She knows how to interview! And Empire is a new favorite of mine DEFINITELY!
MY GOODNESS, HOW I LOVE THIS WOMAN AND "EMPIRE!!"

TwizleyGold thank you, i might do, maybe you'll see me in vogue one day ;)
I loved how Taraji says 'Please watch the show' back then. If she only knew how big and successful the show was going to be, I love it!
my thoughts exactly...I just love how she loves and is proud of whatever she does..sheputs her soul into it and doesnt really care for waht anyone else says...that really inspires me
That Taraji is a gorgeous woman! She's smooth a ice and twice as nice!! And I don't think she's ever had a bad day in her damn life!!
So me and you both like house party 4 lol
I've tended to court women. Met a lovely black woman in 1989, took her out to a fine dining restaurant with good live dance music. We ate we dance. We went home and [redacted]. We moved in together less than a week later and got married less than two years later. Still married, still go out for nice meals, and we have liked Taraji Henson as an actress for many years -- and started following her heavily on 'Person of Interest,' in basically non-sexual role.
Her hair is everything, love the highlights.
It’s a wig but yes
lmfao i aint fightin kmichelle!!!!
I died hahaha
Me too
Dead on the spot.
Wendy was totally out of line with her "Bye, Phylicia", regarding Phylicia Rashad's recent defense of Dr. Cosby. Ms. Rashad was misquoted, as stated by Roger Friedman & Ms. Rashad herself. She was simply expressing her overall view of the situation & supporting Dr. Cosby - a man who she has known (on and off screen) for more than 30yrs. Ms. Rashad is an immensely talented, well-respected woman of substance and an ICON. To dismiss her is beyond disrespectful and shows Wendy's inability to show neutrality. Ms. Rashad is the latest in a long list of black luminaries Wendy has disrespected. She has done the same to Oprah, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston; only to turn around a breakdown over the passing of Ms. Houston. I would advise Wendy to watch herself. She has way too many skeletons in that closet of hers to throw stones at people who helped pave the way for her to even have a talk show. So, while she's saying #ByePhylicia, I'm saying #ByeWendy!
You need to chill. 'Bye Felicia' is an expression commonly used especially amongst black people. It started because of the film 'Friday' so relax.
You are the one who needs to "chill". I'm well-aware of the origin of the phrase. And, the Felicia character in the film was a crackhead, was she not? I am an Entertainment Attorney and personal friend of Ms. Rashad. The manner/context in which Wendy used the colloquial phrase was dismissive & disrespectful. Ms. Rashad was coming from a sincere place, while Wendy was being her usual [brash] self. If you saw/see it differently, fine. But don't tell me to "chill" or "relax". I said what I said and I meant it. Good day.
Why are you writing this on a video of Taraji's interview?...
I concur. Wendy has an axe to grind, because Dr. Cosby admonished her years ago (during her radio days) for attempting to sully his name. So she doesn't want to hear anyone supporting him; yet, a few weeks ago she asked "Why haven't any of Dr. Cosby's former co-stars come to his defense?" The moment they do, she dismisses them. Wendy is disrespectful, beyond messy, and a hypocrite.
Phylicia was also dismissive of the women who have accused Cosby of rape. She was misquoted, but what she did say for a fact was, "This is not about those women. This is about Bill Cosby." That was such a dismissive and callous remark so it's only right that Wendy dismissed Ms. Rashad's comments.
Taraji is sooo fine and funny! Mad smart too! Always had love for her.
She's absolutely adorable. She's a fantastic actress. Absolutely brilliant.
Did she just call Andre a basketball player?? Girl, do you even watch the show???
😃😅😂😂😂😂😂😂True!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
R . H I'm dead
On me 😂😂😂😂
she needs to produce more movies
Love Taraji P Henson.....the realest lady ever man so down to earth....& beautiful personality.....One of my favorite Actress😻👌
I freaking love her!!!!! So beautiful.
Taraji is EPIC! Beauty, brains and the lady can act! LOVE HER!
ONE QUESTION....HOW DID WENDY INVITE TARAJI ON HER SHOW TO DISCUSS EMPIRE AND DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. REALLY?
I love her she is like the down to earth friend/associate you always like to be around, the crazy cousin, best friend, fun loving around the way girl. SO happy she's successful in her career. Much love to her!
Shame that Wendy's people didn't update her about Empire. I like Wendy but I'm embarrassed for her unprofessionalism.
Every single one of tarajis interviews are entertaining and interesting. She has so much personality! I love it.
"Guy's don't court women anymore" I can relate to this!
Also "Women are lazy/entitled and expect men to be the ones to court them always". I can relate to this. smh
kninez You want to be courted by a woman?
Dr Scott Hall LMFAO! Times have definitely changed. He's hormonal.
0
I just finished Tarajis' memoir and never was exposed to her or her work and now a fan forever!
The way Taraji talks about the show it's like if it is real life. That must be why she's such an amazing actor. She becomes the role she's playing.
This show was PERFECTION! I can NOT WAIT until season 2!
her personality is nothing I expected. She seems very down to earth.
The show seems like a spin-off of hustle & flow.
Please do your best to separate this from hustle and flow ! I know it's hard but for my sanity please do your very best !
Brighton McBride I am over here laughing hard! lol. I will do MY BEST!!!
Brighton McBride I agree! Hustle and Flow for me was so horrible I just couldn't watch the rachetness of it
That's exactly what I thought. I figured Lushious or whatever and Cookie were loosely based off of the Hustle & Flow characters.
*****
I love Taraji. She's so strong and charismatic
Love Taraji! she made sure too talk about her show instead of getting into any of Wendy's usual mess.....
I LOVED Empire. That show is going to be a hit. And I LOVE Taraji! She's so real it hurts.
So happy that they're addressing homosexuality in the black community. Very bold, but very necessary. This is definitely a show that I'll be watching.
"You cookin' chicken?"
"Is it fried?"
Lmboooooo that makes me laugh. That was a big stereotype moment but I still love Cookie. lmbo
Just love Taraji & Terence Together...
Multiplicityme2too Right. Her face when Wendy mentioned Terrance 😃Boss move of her to say get Terrance or no deal. Yes Taraji 👏👏👏👏
WOW! That was great.. I love Taraji she is a great actress
I love Taraji! She is such a character! Beautiful too! Love that nail color!
Taraji is a great conversationalist. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this interview.
She is so gorgeous love Taraji!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW . THAT DAMN TARAJI SHE HAS DONE IT AGAIN, THATS MY GIRL! THIS CAST IS SUPER! THANK YOU LEE DANIELS YOU DID IT AGAIN AS WELL MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU ALL, I WILL NEVER MISS A SHOW IF I CAN HELP IT!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I just love Taraij! 😍
God how I love his woman! Such a pure spirit. And I already love love loveeeee Empire, I know it's gonna be one good as show!!
"I ain't fighting K. Michelle" LMFAO
I'm surprised Wendy didn't bring up the 50 Cent and Taraji twitter beef regarding Empire. Hmmm...interesting.
haha. Because her Hot Topics team probably didn't here about it and tell her, haha. They only have Mariah and Tory google alerts...
Because that was hardly twitter beef lol
I just adore Taraji Henson. I love the show too. She is right...it does happen to innocent little boys every day who are just expressing themselves. She makes Cookie and no other actress could bring what she does to that character.
Wendy never has her research together-she's always getting corrected by the guest.
RIGHT!! I cringed when she said the oldest was a basketball player!!! what show was she watching??
OMG Taraji was laying down the truth about guys not dating anymore. Why is this???
guys dont want to put in work anymore
i think the easy ho's messed it up for everybody.
*****
That`s all true. I guess the problem is the lack of self worth in most women. Men can get the goods so easily without having to put in any work in most cases so just settle for the easy targets rather than putting in work for those who prefer to wait. It`s not fair!
***** I get where you are coming from. Trust me, I know some women so lonely that they will settle for anyone that comes their way. Its just a sad cycle.
What man wouldn't date a goddess like Taraji? It's baffling
does she play cookie or is cookie plays taraji in real life ? lol she acts the same camera or not lol
maybe that's why she's perfect for the role
roles sometimes change you at least temporarily
true story, for some time you're stuck with a certain role
I think she is just perfect for it
Zack GRAHAM when u play a role that big it gets engraved in u and it becomes part of u that's if u r a great actress
Empire is the new Dynasty for those old enough to have watched it. Cookie is Joan Collins and Linda Evans in one body. Love the show Empire
I love this woman personality
My God she such a Virgo. Lol she was in my head about dating.
Chile if this woman is having a hard time finding a man come bury me now.
obsessed with her and her character such a great actress!
" I ain't fighting k.Michelle " lmaoooo bruh I love her
I want her boots 😍😍
Me too lol
SHE IS MY FAV ACTRESS!
Taraji is so down to earth, she is lovely and Empire is the best show on tv. Love it
She's so pretty and open! i love her personality, it's a breath of fresh air :)
I love Taraji! Her spirit and energy is infectious!
I love Mrs. Hunter, but she needs to get her facts straight...did she even watch the show before she did the interview? C'mon now Wendy. You should at least know the main characters on the show...
right. dust that journalism/communications degree off Wendy and remember how its done.
Empire is my second favorite show on television!! Scandal being number 1. haha
I wasn't going to watch Empire last night but didn't want to miss my girl Taraji. I'm so glad the first episode was a hit and had limited commercials.
Where's is the wine???Hahahhaaa!!......Gurl I love it! Great interview Taraji!
Idris is a player on these streets, that's why he's always looking so happy
what! and how did I miss this show I love cookie she's fun I am a her number 1 fan.
i love her so much! and empire!😀😍😍😍
All hail the Queen of prime time. It's about time that we had a true to life black woman who has real issues and problems and still be regal. I hope empire reigns supreme. Well acted drama. The first black soap opera.
I love chipotle and pancakes!!! LOL. I guess my hubby got it easy! LOL
lol i bet your husband courted you tho
Husband? Girl you talking about a totally different thing
I'm not Fighting K Michelle 😂💀😂
taraji great actress both off and on camera shes real with the truth good mom material
Aww I love her personality!!!
Yasss!.... lmao! Taraji is the truth! She is truly a rarity of a gem, actress. Finally a WW show that didn't bore me to tears but that's of course due to its guest. Go T!
I am falling in love with this woman. I always hoped to see her again after Baby Boy and I'll be damn if she ain't one of the hottest SISTAS in Hollywood!! As Martin would say "You go girl"
Love me some Taraji...n the way she checked 50cent i love u for that kept it classy n still got ya point across
i just love watching this amazing talented actress she is ssoooo amazing. Love you T
Wendy needs to do a better job of researching and knowing what's going on with her guest. She has made so many mistakes trying to explain what's going on with Empire
If the rumor is true that Lee Daniels wanted Wesley Snipes to play Lucious, he needs to thank Taraji and triple her salary for saving his show. Terrence is perfectly cast. Wesley? Man, please.
I ADORE Taraji, she's so beautiful and awesome!!!
Love em both always glad to c them working together
Smh this beautiful black queen 😍
My Wednesday nights are complete. my Thursdays will soon be that as well.
Taraji lights up the room,matter of fact am here for her
She was MADE for that role and she represents it well
