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?
