#EMPIRE: Lets learn about Cookie’s Prison Past!
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched “Evil Manners,” the Oct. 11 episode of “Empire’s” fourth season.
Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) has a lot on her plate these days. Not only is she dealing with the emotional heartbreak over the love of her life and father of her children, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), not having any memory of their relationship, but she’s also trying to keep the extent of his memory loss a secret from anyone outside of their immediate family.
“Her biggest struggle is that he doesn’t remember her,” Henson tells Variety, likening it to dealing with a loved one who is suffering from dementia. “It’s very hard when they look you in the eyes and they don’t remember who you are. It hurts. And you sit there and you try to explain, but they have no recollection of you existing in their life. That is painful, and that is more hurtful to her than anything else.”
And as the fourth episode of the fourth season of “Empire” revealed, that pain, coupled with the fact that she was turned down for a loan due to Diana DuBois’ (Phylicia Rashad) influence, is taking its toll on her, triggering more intense and violent flashbacks to her time in prison than previously explored.
Taraji gave the scoop to Variety about seeing more of Cookie’s 17 years behind bars, keeping control of the company in Lucious’ absence, and her interest in producing over directing.
Cookie finally told Lucious the truth about why they were apart for so long. Do you think she was trying to protect him from some of the darker parts of their history by holding it back for this long?
I don’t think she’s trying to protect him at all. She can’t say anything because that damn nurse won’t let her! She needs him, but she doesn’t want to jeopardize his recovery, so she’s keeping her mouth shut because she has to.
What do you feel she will gain by telling him now?
It’s for some kind of closure. They never talked about it, even when she first got out, so finally she can get some closure.
Is this version of Lucious a man Cookie will start to be attracted to, or is she always going to fight to get her Lucious back?
She likes the part that he cares, but that’s not the part that she fell in love with, let’s be clear! He’s cute and kumbaya and all that, but if she wanted that she would have stayed with Taye Diggs or Malcolm or some other guy. Her heart is with Lucious, it ain’t with Dwight!
Cookie is often very stoic when facing adversity, but how important is having her family as support now?
That’s why she moved back into the mansion. She needed to be there; she needed to be hands-on. And she didn’t trust [Claudia] from the onset, and she needed to be up close and personal with Lucious to make sure she could get her man back and keep her eye on him.
And Eddie (Forest Whitaker) is a new support system, too. Could things turn physical between them, if not really romantic, as they reconnect?
The way Forest plays him, he’s very mystical. I don’t know if he likes me! But she trusts him because that’s somebody from Lucious’ past and their past that they trusted before.
A lot of what Cookie was going through with Lucious and the business triggered memories of her time in prison. How will she deal with the trauma she went through back then?
You’re really going to see her in prison. You’ll see who her friends were in prison, who she hung out with, how she acclimated herself. She’s a fighter, and you’ll see how she fought in prison, and how she kept her sanity. Seeing her in jail [shows] new ways of her strength. She’s a tough cookie, period, in jail or out. That’s just who she is. She speaks her truth, she lives her truth, and she’s unapologetic. That’s who she is.
Will we see anyone from her prison days turn up in present day?
We’re on episode 10, and that hasn’t happened, but I don’t know if that means it won’t happen later.
There’s a lot going on this season with the deal between Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) and Diana lingering.
She’s going to kill him! She still doesn’t trust [Diana], even after that supposed truce.
And getting the money Empire needs to push forward with their big plans for the anniversary year. How is Cookie handling being the boss?
People were doubting her because she’s a woman, and they’re used to Lucious heading the company. So Eddie plays a good second to Lucious and makes everybody feel more comfortable. You know how they do us! She had to go and get a man to make everybody feel better.
But you can do anything you put your mind to, I believe. And there is a lot going on. I get the scripts, and a lot of time I’m like, “Geez, how are we going to pull this off!?” But it’s not my problem, so I just hit my mark. And then they get in that editing room, and it’s like, “We shot that!?” It reads different than what you see. It’s kind of hard to see it on the page sometimes, even as an actor. I’m not a director, so I don’t see it like that, so it’s very hard to see it when it’s just on the page. Sometimes it even sounds weird coming out of my mouth, but then when we see the show, we’re amazed.

#HIPHOPNEWS: SHOTS FIRED! Former Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci Thinks Cardi B Is a Man?
Anthony Scaramucci has admitted to being a fan of Nicki Minaj and French Montana, but the former White House press secretary clearly has no idea who Cardi B is.
As he's been doing since getting fired after a 10-day stint at the White House, Scaramucci was on Twitter Wednesday morning (Oct. 11), answering questions his followers asked him. After confirming his love of Nicki, Scaramucci was asked if he liked Cardi B. In a now-deleted tweet, he replied, "My sons do. Not as familiar with his music.
While Scaramucci may not be familiar with Cardi B, he definitely should pay attention. On Monday (Oct. 9), the New York rapper's "Bodak Yellow" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the third week in a row, becoming the longest-running No. 1 song from a solo female rapper in Hot 100 history.
Cardi surpassed Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)," which previously held the title in 1998. The rapper also tied Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" as the longest-running female at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 2017. Cardi could surpass Taylor if "Bodak Yellow" remains at No. 1 for another week.
The rapper's hard work has also paid off in the awards department. At the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, Cardi beat out Aminé, Kodak Black, Playboi Carti and Tee Grizzley for Best New Hip-Hop Artist and also took home the awards for Hustler of the Year, Single of the Year, Made-You-Look (Best Hip Hop Style) and Best Mixtape.
Awwwww, Janet Jackson and Ciara Enjoy Play Date with Their Sons at Disneyland
The singer enjoyed quality time with her 9-month-old son Eissa Al Mana and friends, including Ciara and her 3-year-old son Future Zahir
Janet Jackson celebrated her sold-out concert at the Hollywood Bowl with some family fun at Disneyland!
On Tuesday, the singer enjoyed quality time with her 9-month-old son Eissa Al Mana and friends, including Ciara and her 3-year-old son Future Zahir, as seen on Jackson’s former backup dancer James Collins’ Instagram Story.
In a group photo with Mickey Mouse, Jackson, who is dressed in head-to-toe black, and Ciara, who wore a conductor hat with Mickey ears, are all smiles as they hold onto their boys.
Jackson and her infant child were spotted riding the King Arthur Carousel. In addition, the mother of one and Ciara were also seen on Space Mountain.
Neither Ciara’s husband Russell Wilson nor the couple’s 5-month-old daughter Sienna Princess were in attendance at the Anaheim, California, theme park.
On Monday, Jackson reunited with her former backup dancers, including Collins and Jenna Dewan Tatum, for a performance of “Rhythm Nation.”
#SURPRISED: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Will Announce Their Engagement ’Soon’
This is according to US Weekly; She knew the drill. While Meghan Markle has enjoyed keeping her 15-month romance with Prince Harry “just ours,” as she told Vanity Fair, she realized dating an heir to the British throne meant embracing a life of public appearances and formal proclamations. “I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward,” she explained, “and present ourselves.”
She may want to start practicing her royal wave. Multiple sources are convinced the 33-year-old royal quietly proposed to the Toronto-based Suits actress, 36. And though the pair are keeping their bliss private — a Harry source says he always planned to share the news only with parents at first “so he could enjoy it before word spread” — a Markle insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that they’ll make an official announcement “soon.”
As in next month, potentially. Sources predict the proclamation will come after Markle wraps her seventh and final season of her USA Network show in November. “It’d be a security nightmare to do it sooner,” explains a Markle pal. “She’d be followed everywhere!”
By the time Markle flashes her sparkler, she’ll be behind Kensington Palace’s protective walls. Post-filming, says the pal, “she’ll relocate to London for sure.” There, she’ll be on hand to help plan what one insider calls “a detailed media rollout.”
Much like Prince William and Duchess Kate, who announced their 2010 betrothal in a series of interviews a month after William proposed in Kenya, Harry and Markle “will most likely hold a small photo call at Kensington Palace, with just one photographer and journalist invited,” says the insider. “On the same day, they’ll do a TV interview that will be syndicated around the world.”
And though palace aides are being kept in the dark on the duo’s news, they’ve already started quietly making preparations, says a source: “These things are planned early in advance.”
Being Mary Jane Cancelled, Ending In 2018 with a 2 hour Movie!
BET’s signature drama series, Being Mary Jane, starring Gabrielle Union, is coming to an end. The network has ordered a two-hour movie, which will serve as a series finale airing in 2018. The series started with a highly-rated TV movie, which drew 4 million viewers for its July 2013 premiere, jump-starting the series, which premiered the following January.
The decision to go with a movie in lieu of a fifth-season pickup comes three weeks after Being Mary Jane‘s Season 4 finale aired on Sept. 19. Union, who stars as successful TV news anchor Mary Jane Paul, is set to return for the finale.
It is unclear yet who else from the cast will be back, with the movie’s producing team also TBD.
Connie Orlando, EVP and Head of Programming, BET Networks, stated,
"Being Mary Jane has been a landmark series not only for BET, but for African American women around the world who saw themselves in Mary Jane, her family, friends and coworkers.

We also thank the many loyal viewers whose hearts and minds were captured every week, and kept Mary Jane trending worldwide.

Anything for the Spotlight: Kourtney Kardashian Is Reportedly Pregnant With Baby No. 4?
Life & Style magazine has released an exclusive report claiming Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her 4th child.
We officially can’t keep up. Looks like Kourtney Kardashian felt left out after she found out her younger sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner because the KUWTK star is expecting baby No. 4! Two years after welcoming her youngest son, Kourt is ready to become a mom again.
“She was thrilled to learn she was expecting,” a source told Life & Style exclusively. However, for now, Kourtney and her boyfriend of one year Younes Bendjima are only telling close family and friends. “She loves being part of a large family and having so many siblings,” the insider adds, “and she wants the same for Penelope, Mason, and Reign.”
Kourtney, 38, has made it very clear she wanted more kids — even after her split from longtime boyfriend Scott Disick. “I would have more. I could see myself with six kids,” Kourtney told Cosmopolitan magazine. “I just don’t know what’s in God’s plan.” She does know that Younes, 24, is the perfect dad-to-be.
“She needs a man who will be both present and sober,” the source explained. “With his charming personality and intelligence, Younes will make the perfect father.” However, it doesn’t look like Scott, 34, is happy about her new relationship. Life & Style previously reported that Scott was trying to ruin Kourt’s relationship with the young model.
Ratings for “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” must be slipping or issa slow news day.

Terry Crews Says He Was Sexually Assaulted By Male Hollywood Executive
The Harvey Weinsten sexual misconduct scandal has caused Terry Crews to recount a time he was sexually assaulted by a high level Hollywood executive. Also, a the first black woman has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey.
This Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal gets messier by the day. And its even causing celebrities to speak out about separate incidents that have happened around Tinsel Town.
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor Terry Crews felt compelled to share a story where he revealed he was groped by a male Hollywood executive during a party last year. Not only that, his WIFE was with him. Chile…the nerve!
The 49-year-old hopped on Twitter to reflect on the incident, saying he wanted to whoop his a** after the man groped him but, he decided to leave the party in fear of being dubbed the stereotypical angry black man. Y'all know how white media would have spun this story about a black man beating a white man down. Also, the Hollywood exec is a big wig in the industry and he didn't want to be “ostracized” from the business. The exec eventually called him up and apologized, but never confessed as to why he did it.
After sharing his story, he said he hoped his story "will detet a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless."
Peep the tweets (read from the bottom up).
That's crazy!
