Taraji P. Henson

What happens when you get Mary J. Blige, Taraji P. Henson and Kerry Washington in a room together? Perhaps one of the most talked about moments during this year's Emmy Awards when their 62-second TV commercial for Apple Music debuted.

Taraji P. Henson is kicking off the month of June with a big victory. The actress took home the Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Cookie Lyon in the hip-hopera Empire at the fifth annual Critics' Choice Awards Sunday night (May 31).

We have watched Taraji P. Henson get dramatic as Cookie on Fox’s hit series 'Empire,' but the veteran actress displayed her comedic side during her hosting stint on 'Saturday Night Live' over the weekend. In one funny skit, Henson played rapper Nicki Minaj.

On this week's episode of 'Empire,' Lucious tries to cover up Bunkie's murder and Jamal walks away from the family fortune.

In this week's episode of 'Empire,' Lucious' son can't keep his private parts private and Cookie reveals a skeleton in her closet.
