But Empire belongs to Taraji P. Henson. She’s Cookie, Lucious’ ex, the boys’ mother, and a clever iteration of the neglected good wife: We meet her as she’s getting released from prison after serving 17 years for selling drugs for her husband. The second she struts out of the joint, fur-decked and royally pissed, we’re rooting for her to get what’s hers. Though she takes charge of Jamal’s career and backs his coming out, she’s no enlightened soul; her use of a certain slur will make you cringe, as it should, but it’s true to her character. Cookie says the damnedest things, and she could easily tip camp, but Henson’s controlled performance keeps her human.
Kelsey and Adam + The Maroons are totez doing a joint concert in South Korea with performances on Sketchbook too.
Can't wait to see their songs get an all kill (2NE1 teas).
Ed Sheeran (?) had a concert last night here and err1 was raving him. Ohmygod how does he do all those **** etc. SK GP its taste <<<<<<
The AV Club: Henson plays Cookie with a sense of overblown camp, but she imbues her with a “don’t **** with me” ferocity that makes the character feel like less of a caricature and more like a woman who sacrificed 17 years of her life for her family. She counteracts Howard’s inherent inner calm; every time Henson is on-screen, it’s difficult to pay attention to anyone else.
Empire is shaping up to be another Dallas. Lucious is building more and more enemies, and I think he's going to get shot. It will be a "Who done it?" storyline.

I don't use Halcyon or Halcyon Days, but Lights was so good
