#EMPIRE: Will Jamal and Cookie become CLOSE in Season #4?
Folks "Jamal and Cookie, The Comedy" may be closer to becoming real than you think
If you couldn't help but notice how Smollett and Henson's comedic chemistry became stronger  almost distractingly stronger  last season, you weren't imaging things. It might even take a life of its own. When a reporter at TCA started asking a question about their natural hilarious rhythm, Henson couldn't even let him finish before blurting, "Oh yes honey we just talked about it," suggesting there could be some conversations about expanding their schtick in another platform.

Henson, who won raves for her turn in the drama Hidden Figures and will play a guntoting action heroine in Proud Mary, is apparently pining to do comedy. Apparently, she's a natural. "I've always said Taraji is the love child of Bette Davis and Samuel L. Jackson," Smollett said. "She looks like a leading lady but she's a character actor; she's one of the funniest people alive." They're like brother and sister, he said; she returned the love by outing him as someone who dyes his hair and beard.

Cute.


#NEWMUSICVIDEO: Lalah Hathaway – I Can’t Wait
Like many of us, Lalah Hathaway plays just as hard as she works. Piquing our anticipation for her new album, the R&B songstress has released a music video for her bouncy single, “I Can’t Wait.”  Set within a hype dance party, it’s obvious that everyone is having a good time surrounded by red cups, liquor and music. You will instantly wish you got the text to hit this secret location.

Directed by Jay Ahn, the vibrant visuals feature cameos from supermodel Shaun Ross and comedian Affion Crockett. The purple loc’d goddess enjoys her peeps with no worries and gives a glimpse of her alter ego as a DJ. Filled with feel good vibes, “I Can’t Wait” is the lead single off Honestly, which is due out this fall on her label, Hathaway Entertainment in partnership with Caroline.

“The behind the scenes short really shows us the power of community,” shared Lalah. “The energy created when we all came together for this shoot was infectious! It was a long day but we were all still on our feet until the very end!”

Hathaway recently spoke to ThisisRnB about her inspiration for the single in an exclusive interview.  “The point of [“I Can’t Wait”] is not to make you forget what’s happening, because you can’t forget what’s happening. But it is a mode of resistance for me to still be a creative,” explained the singer. “Our music is also a protest. I refuse to let anybody steal my joy. It’s meant to uplift.”

#HIPHOPNEWS: Pharma Convict Martin Shkreli Puts WuTang’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin On eBay
Martin Shkreli, the socalled “Pharma Bro,” has decided to unleash the topsecret WuTang Clan album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. Shkreli put the CD up for auction on eBay, claiming that half the proceeds of the sales will go to medical research.

PageSix reports: The embattled former drug company exec listed the sole copy of the CD “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” on eBay Tuesday night for a starting price of $1. Within an hour, the bidding hit $55,000 and 100 offers.
Shkreli — notorious for jacking up the price of a lifesaving drug for AIDS patients by 5,000 percent — claimed he would give half the proceeds from the auction to “medical research.”

“I am not selling to raise cash–my companies and I have record amounts of cash on hand. I hope someone with a bigger heart for music can be found for this oneofakind piece and makes it available for the world to hear,” Shkreli posted along with the auction listing.
Reached by phone Tuesday night, Shkreli refused to say where he would donate the money or what he would do with the remaining cash. Instead he unleashed a string of expletives and then requested to engage in a lewd act with a reporter.
Pretty safe to say that this dweeb isn’t going to use the money for any grand purpose, despite his usual boneheaded stunting.

At our last look, the CD is now up to over $100,000 in bidding.

#USOPEN Venus Williams & Sloane Stephens Will go to Battle In U.S. Open
This is not a drill. Two African-American women will compete in the semifinal round of the U.S. Open. Sloane Stephens and Venus Williams will reportedly face off in the global tennis match, and they’re giving us all the #BlackGirlMagic we need.

#LOOKYLOOKY: Katie Holmes, Jamie Foxx Hold Hands in Malibu During Labor Day Weekend
Rare public outing! Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx were spotted holding hands in Malibu during the Labor Day weekend on Monday, September 4.
In photos obtained by TMZ, Holmes, 38, is all smiles as she wears a knee-length dress, while Foxx, 49, coordinates in a blue shirt and pants. The pair both rock sunglasses, hats and walk barefoot on the beach.
Last year, the couple attended Barbara Streisand's concert in NYC together and celebrated Holmes' 38th birthday with a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "Jamie is someone she can trust and have fun with," an insider previously told Us. "She's getting everything from Jamie that she didn't get with Tom." (Holmes and Tom Cruise ended their six-year marriage in 2012.)

A second source added: "They're very serious."
Indeed, Holmes and Cruise's 11-year-old daughter, Suri, is aware of the relationship, too.
Back in May, Holmes even visited Foxx in Paris as he filmed the 2018 Robin Hood remake. As a source exclusively told Us, "They’re going to go out to dinner more often. They plan to start going public."

50 Cent Confirms Season 5 Of ‘Power,’ Inks New Deal With Starz
50 Cent is once again the clear winner in the battle of primetime television. After months of feuding with the network that hosts Power, the rapper has confirmed the series’ fifth season as well as new projects with Starz.
On Tuesday (Sept. 5), the Power producer shared with his 15 million fans on Instagram the return of the series on the network. “Just got off with Chris Albrecht, head of STARZ. New deal, more POWER coming your way,” he captioned of photo of the two. In addition to announcing a fifth season of the critically acclaimed series, Mr. Jackson hinted that the drama may change from a summer release to a spring one.
The success of Power has given the rapper a chance to expand his hand in production. 50 also earned a deal for his upcoming projects Tomorrow, Today, I Got Away and a series highlighting the infamous Black Mafia Family known as BMF. IMDB lists Tomorrow, Today as a TV film about a veteran who is given superpowers in a scientific experiment gone awry.


Steve Harvey Regrets Meeting With Trump, Says Obama Encouraged It
Remember when Steve Harvey famously met with Donald Trump earlier this year and spent several weeks thereafter caping for the racist, xenophobic business tycoon who is now the leader of the free world? Well, Harvey now says he should have listened to his wife and skipped the meeting altogether, according to a recent sit-down with The Hollywood Reporter.

The veteran comic and television host discussed his new TV show, that leaked staff memo from hell and his buffoonery of a meeting with 45. “It was so vicious that it really threw me,” he told THR of the backlash he underwent in the aftermath of it all. “I was being called names that I’ve never been called: Uncle Tom. A coon. A sellout. Because I went to see this man?!”
Harvey went on to explain he only took the meeting because his business partner got a call from the Obama transition team, who said that the Trump transition team would like to set up a meeting. “The Obama team said they thought it would be a good idea because the president is encouraging dialogue.”

He added, “I have a relationship with Obama. We’re friends. So I say, ‘OK, cool.’ Now, here’s the crazy thing: I’m supposed to be on a boat for my 60th birthday, so my wife says, ‘Steve, just take off [and skip the meeting]. You’ll meet with him some other time.’ God, I should’ve listened.” No s**t.
Harvey also touched on Hillary Clinton, admitting to Trump in their meeting that he didn’t vote for him and campaigned hard for his opponent. “The problem was that we made a lot of mistakes in the campaign. We were playing checkers and y’all was playing chess,” he said. “But now that you’re here, you’re the 45th president and I’m going to help you.”

Harvey then said to Trump, “You’ve appointed Ben Carson as the head of Housing and Urban Development, and I’ve got keys to a lot of cities around this country from the years of performing that I’ve done. I can get an ear to them really quick and find out what their real needs are. Y’all keep closing schools in the cities. Why don’t we take those schools that are closing, put some HUD money in them and reopen them as vision centers and teach STEM and computers and coding? If you connect me with Ben Carson, I can help him with that.”

Harvey has met twice with Carson at HUD to put plans in motion, but hasn’t seen or heard from Trump since their encounter.

Congratulations, you played yourself.
