#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.”
Watch the uplifting “I Can’t Wait” video, along with exclusive behind the scenes footage below
#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.

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.

Naomie Harris Talks Winnie Mandela In Red February 2014
Continuing to enjoy the success of her bio-pic “Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom,” Naomie Harris graced the cover of Red magazine’s February 2014 issue.
During her Q&A session with the publication, the 37-year-old actress opened up about playing Winnie Mandela in the film and her standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival following the film’s presentation.
Highlights from Miss Harris’ interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Red!
On becoming the peace leader’s wife:
“It was only when I did my research that I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, what the hell have I signed up to?’ She is the most complex woman I have ever played. To many, she is a saint, she’s Mother Africa, you know? To others, she is completely vilified. The pressure of all those expectation, especially filming in South Africa, was a lot. I definitely understand why she became the woman she did. In the same situation, I don’t know how I would react.”
On developing Winnie’s passion and anger:
“It meant inhabiting places I try never to go, like revenge, hatred and rage. I don’t hate anyone, and I’m really not a vengeful person, but I found it difficult to switch off. Even after I stopped filming, it took me awhile to shake her.”
On working with Idris:
“The first thing Idris said to me was, ‘Woah, what have we done? It’s terrifying, isn’t it? It really put me at ease. We held each other’s hand through the whole process.”
On her standing ovation:
“It was so overwhelming that I was embarrassed. I sat down, but Harvey Weinstein was in the seat behind me and he was like, ‘Stand up, Naomie!’”

After finding out how stupid her Aaliyah joke was on New Year’s Eve Karrueche Tran decided to take a visit to the rehab to visit her man, Chris Brown. While visiting, the two locked tongues and decided to take a pic to share with the world…
Despite being in rehab, Chris Brown spent New Year’s Day with his lady love Karrueche Tran, who paid a visit to the controversial hip-hop crooner. The 25-year-old aspiring model tweeted out a photo of the couple as they frolicked in the grass outside of the clinic. Both she and the 24-year-old singer are wearing traditional New Year’s crowns as Tran sucks on Brown’s tongue.
Brown began living at the rehab center after the singer was arrested on October 27 in Washington, DC on a misdemeanor assault charge. Following the arrest, the singer faced jail time for violating his parole stemming from his 2009 assault on ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

Alicia Keys Out As Global Creative Director Of BlackBerry
BlackBerry just took another L, sort of. After naming singer Alicia Keys its Global Creative Director on January 30, 2013, she will be leaving the position a year to the day.
The CBC News service broke the news with a tweet, which reads: "Singer Alicia Keys will no longer be #BlackBerry global creative director as of Jan. 30, according to company."
Reports CTV News:
BlackBerry has insisted that Keys had a more direct involvement in its operations, highlighting her work on a four-year scholarship program that encouraged young women to enter specific science and technology fields.
The company brought Keys onto the team last January at the splashy New York launch of its BlackBerry 10 smartphone line, which was supposed to mark a new beginning for the well-known brand.
She appeared at numerous corporate events throughout the year and in some promotional material.
"We have enjoyed the opportunity to work with such an incredibly talented and passionate individual," the company said in an emailed statement.
Of course the next question asked is did Keys quit or was she fired? The spin will probably be that her contract was up. But take that as you will.
Also, besides appearing in a commercial or two, what exactly did she do during her tenure?
Considering the "Girl On Fire" singer and her hubby Swizz Beatz's thriving musical careers, she'll be alright.

Chelsea Handler Posts Photos Of Her Holding Black Baby Dolls; “I Finally Had Twins”
We all know that late night talk show host Chelsea Handler is two things… Controversial and a lover of black men specifically, 50 Cent. Chelsea recently had an accident while skiing and she posted a pic of it on Twitter. The comedian is smiling while comfortably lying across a bed, and she appears to have pulled up her white terry cloth robe to her waist in order to intentionally reveal the side of her bare bottom. Handler, 38, has never been one to shy away from a funny moment, so her tweet Sunday was no different. What’s even more hilarious about the photograph is that there’s an unidentified man who appears to be wearing some sort of service jacket kneeling beside the bed.
The snapshot shows Handler’s cast covering from foot to knee, but that may not be the main attraction of the photo.
“Another day of skiing and whoopsie,” she tweeted to her more than 5 million followers. “I come home now.”
That photo along with Chelsea holding two black baby dolls has the internet abuzz. Chroniclers, do you think her pic is all in fun?
Reed Between the Lines is Never Coming Back
After Tracee Ellis Ross quit BET's Reed Between the Lines to film a pilot [that didn't get picked up] she was replaced by Tony Rock for the popular show's second season.
Too bad the season is never going to air...
In an interview with Access Atlanta Tracce's co-star Malcolm Jamal Warner explains what happened,
"There's really not much to say about Reed Between The Lines. BET decided not the air the second season, even though it was shot. As a result, there's really nothing to say about the show."
"None of us were happy to hear [the cancellation.] They had their reasons, a lot of which I don't understand.... I thought it was a great execution of dealing with a guy who thought he had a perfect family and marriage only to find out there were issues along the way."
OH WELLS!
Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One "Red" PHOTOS
Supreme has the midas touch, as far as their past sneaker collaborations go. Their latest, a limited edition Nike Air Foamposite One, doesn't fall too far from the tree.
After unveiling detailed images of the black colorway on Christmas Eve, the brand delivers more eye candy for sneaker lovers via the alternate red pair.
Reports Sneaker News:
Graphic Foamposites will go to a whole new level next year with the release of this, the Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One. Not only do the shoes represent the recent trend of printed pairs for this hallowed Swoosh silhouette, but they also suggest a possible future wherein collab Foamposite releases are regular. Granted, Supreme are near the top of the list as far as Nike partners who can pull of pretty much anything, so we aren't exactly expecting every sneaker boutique across the land to get their own pair. See more on them after the click and tell us in the comments if you're feeling the red or the black more.
Both the black and red colorways are likely to sell out before you can say "Supreme." Trust us on this. As we await a release date, see detailed flicks of the red Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One

Change is Coming: Prada Cast A Woman Of Color For Newest Campaign
It’s about time!!!
After nearly 20 years, Prada is finally incorporating a little color into the Italian fashion house

Marvel & Disney Unveil First Look At Guardians Of The Galaxy [PHOTOS]
Marvel and Disney biggest film of 2014 may be Guardians Of The Galaxy. A photos of the cast in character has been unveiled and although it's only one pic,things are already looking promising.
For those who may not be familar, the Guardians are Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora aka "the most dangerous woman in the universe" (Zoe Saldana), Rocket Racoon, (Bradley Cooper), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). Most interesting is that this team consists of three humanoids, a talking raccoon that packs big time artillery and a tree like creature. Trust, in the comic books it just works.
Says Disney/Marvel's synopsis:
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy's fate in the balance. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be in theaters August 1, 2014 via Walt Disney Studios. We can't wait.
Oh WOW: Cost Of Postage Stamps Will Increase
My oh my, what’s happening with our tax dollars?? It’s been confirmed by the USPS that the price of a postage stamp is set to increase to 49 cents. The recent news has caused a public uproar.
We’re hearing that The US Postal Service has been facing various fiscal pressures due to which it was forced to increase its postage price to 49 cents.
The cost price of a first class stamp has risen over the times to reach the astronomical rate of 49 cents. This will go into effect from January 26th. However, it is not a permanent decision which comes as somewhat of a relief. Postcards and packages will naturally cost more to send over long distances in future times.
The USPS was hit hard by the recession of 2008 and 2009. Then there is the fact that it is largely obsolete in the current times of Internet and Email. Its retirement plan is going to take some time though. Those who use the USPS’s snail mail service will be grouchier than before due to this landmark decision.
