JUSSIE SMOLLETT: DOES ANYONE BELIEVE HIS HATE CRIME STORY?

Can’t help but wonder what actress Jurnee Smollett (Lovecraft County) is really thinking about her brother Jussie Smollett’s Chicago trial, which has finally begun. Does she pretend to be supportive of his claim that he was a hate crime victim? Former Empire star Jussie still insists that two men attacked him in Chicago yelling “This is MAGA country!” – they beat him up and hung a “lynching” rope around his neck. Coming from Chicago, we were horrified at these charges. Police investigated and not long after, two Nigerian brothers confessed that Jussie HIRED them to fake the attack to get attention from his Empire producers. At worst, Jussie can be convicted of 6 counts of filing false police reports. But will his career ever recover? We could live without ever seeing his smirking face again…

Chicago Empire Hate Crime Indicted Jussie Smollett Liar, Liar!

IT’S ABOUT TIME: CHICAGO INTENDS TO PROVE JUSSIE SMOLLETT LIED

Frankly, we never got over the fact that charges against Jussie Smollett were DROPPED after he orchestrated that fake hate crime in Chicago. His claims of a racist and homophobic attack by two white guys (one wearing a MAGA hat, no less) were honestly too absurd to believe. And when the two guys were found and claimed to be hired by the Empire actor to fake the crime against him, we were happy that our hometown Chicago is NOT that evil. Tons of evidence popped up to prove Jussie lied. When he was mysteriously set free, we chalked it up to corrupt politicians. What a nice surprise – angry Chicagoans are finally vindicated with these new charges against Jussie – we can’t wait to hear the whole story in court.

Character Dr Drew Pinsky Empire Jussie Smollett

JUSSIE SMOLLETT DUG HIS OWN GRAVE

Dr Drew summed up the whole unfortunate and dismal Jussie Smollett situation with one word. The celebrity doctor pointed out that Jussie has not been admitted to a mental hospital or rehab (defense lawyers encourage that in hopes of a less harsh sentence) therefore Dr Drew asserts that’s it’s not a mental health situation – it’s a CHARACTER issue. Which is worse, of course, because it means Jussie is a manipulative and self-serving person – wholly unsympathetic. On the upside, this situation has taught all of us not to jump to conclusions. Funny, we just heard is that Jussie is suddenly claiming he has an untreated drug problem… Dr Drew was right on target.

Empire Taraji P Henson

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…

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

Empire Fifty Shades of Grey Rita Ora

RITA ORA IN FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK

British singer Rita Ora is slipping through LAX doing her best imitation of Diane Keaton from the hat down. Rita’s acting career is opening up – she and Jennifer Hudson just signed to guest star on the hip hop drama Empire. And Rita plays Christian’s sister Mia in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” It’s funny how she got that role. Rita approached producers, hoping to contribute a song to the movie, and they insisted she audition and gave her the acting job!
