Taraji P Henson

WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK: TARAJI P HENSON

It’s apparent that Taraji P Henson is TRYING very hard to look cool and comfortable in this strange outfit, but it’s not happening. The color is becoming, but the unflattering design featuring what looks like a plump shirt tied around her waist adds a lot of poundage. The 12 inch platform heels are absurdly dangerous and she really needs someone to hold onto when she’s just walking to her car. Bad choice… NOT comfortable and NOT flattering!

TARAJI P HENSON SPECIALIZES IN OUTSMARTING MEN

Hidden Figures star Taraji P Henson could not be happier – and she looks adorable in her newsprint skirt. The new season of Empire starts this week and she has a movie, What Men Want, coming out in February. It’s a reversal of the 2000 film What Women Want, with Taraji in the Mel Gibson role. Her character can read men’s thoughts and she uses the skill to succeed in business. In addition, Taraji is planning a summer wedding to 13 years younger former NFL player Kelvin Hayden. Somehow it seems like Taraji is always outsmarting men…

TARAJI P HENSON KNOWS WHAT MEN WANT

Hidden Figures star Taraji P Henson has impeccable timing – she’s producing her own next movie and it’s a remake of the 2000 Nancy Meyers comedy What Women Want, that starred Mel Gibson as an obnoxious, entitled guy who could read women’s minds and took full advantage. In the new version, What Men Want, Taraji will play a female sports agent struggling in a man’s world. When she gets the power to read men’s thoughts she easily manages to sign the next NBA superstar and outsmarts the men. What could be more timely in this tumultuous new era of females finally speaking out?

HIDDEN FIGURES: IT’S MORE THAN ROCKET SCIENCE

The holidays always bring out the best of the movies and this season is a bonanza. Our favorite holiday movie so far is Hidden Figures. It’s the true story of three brilliant black female friends and their amazing – and unheralded – contributions to the NASA Space Race. Taraji P Henson plays a mathematics genius turned physicist and space scientist whose calculations helped John Glenn orbit the earth and return safely. Octavia Spencer plays a forward-thinking computer programmer who worked on the IBM original, and Janelle Monae’s character fought prejudice to earn a degree in engineering. Most of all, this film shows what life was like in the business/government world in Virginia in the 60’s. Women were treated badly and black women faced unimaginable situations, the least of which was bathrooms labeled White Only. White male superiority prevailed and shameful treatment of everyone else was tolerated. Despite the subject, this film is funny and sweet and romantic – entertaining AND important.

EMPIRE’S TERRENCE HOWARD: CATNIP TO WOMEN

Empire costars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson look like they had a great time hosting Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards over the weekend. Ladies man Terrence looks hot and minimalist, too bad he seems to be a “fatal attraction” for women. He has a bad rep when it comes to relationships – violence and restraining orders galore. His current wife Miranda was likely home with their new baby, but that didn’t stop Terrence fro
