Here he is, defending himself again. Bill Cosby says he is not guilty of “blacklisting” Terrance Howard:

“I don’t like something being out there that I know for sure isn’t true,” said Cosby. As previously reported, Howard was quoted as saying he confronted Cosby to ask why his small guest role on “The Cosby Show” ended up on the editing room floor. Howard explained: “I told him, ‘I’m a man just like you.’ He didn’t like it, and the casting agent [Hughes Moss Casting] never took my calls again.” Howard said he didn’t get another Hollywood gig for the next four years.

Cosby told us he has no recollection of the conversation with the 19-year-old Howard, does not remember Howard coming to his office and has never attempted to prevent any actor from booking gigs, strictly out of spite.

Cosby said he called Howard, who was in Italy, to find out why he (Howard) made those comments. “The young man said to me on the phone, ‘Mr. Cosby, [in] the conversation we had, you gave me information that was valuable,’ recalls Cosby, adding that Howard said he “tells people this.” Continue »

Mr. Baby Wipes snubbed a sista for a chick of the Asian persuasion last night. Word is, these two young ladies were kickin it at Coco DeVille in Hollyweird when Terrance approached the lighter of the two women and after gassing her head up for a few, he told her to meet him in the Four Seasons Hotel.  Apparently, he didn’t give the other gal, a sista, a second (or first) look. Guess he an the Mrs. ain’t on the up & up.

Terrance Howard is a bona fide over-protective father. He wasn’t feeling his 14-year-old daughter’s boyfriend, so he decided to do something about it:

“‘She’s supposedly in love with some guy. I made her break up with him and I’ve threatened to kill him. I was like, you picked a green fruit from the tree that’s far from ripe.”

And Howard ensures he keeps a tight-leash on his beloved kids – warning Aubrey she will be cut out of any future inheritance if she is not ‘obedient’.

He tells his daughter, ‘I’ve set a lot of things aside for you, but those things are only yours as long as you’re obedient to me.’ However, the actor has put a crafty plan into action to make sure the teenager doesn’t fall back into her unsuitable relationship.

He adds, ‘She’s OK now. Though, I’m sure he’s still kind of her boyfriend. This summer I’ll take her off to another country where her phone won’t work, and he’ll start dating someone else.’”

It’s safe to say that Mr. Baby Wipes may have some serious control issues. Damn, too bad for his kids. SMH.

Mr. Baby Wipes is getting in touch with his musical side:

“In a page out of Hustle and Flow, Academy Award-nominated star Terrence Howard hosted a lunchtime listening session Monday for his debut album: ‘Terrence Howard – Me and the Band of Kings.’

Howard told the audience that he began writing songs at age 16 in his ‘rainbow colored notebook,’ and discussed recording an ‘emotionally sobering’ song that began as a letter to his ex-wife.”

Terrence and his rainbow colored diary and murse swag. He really may be going the way of Eddie Murphy after all.

Terrence Howard talks about dating and males looking each other in the eye in an upcoming issue of Giant Magazine:

“It’s so hard to find a good woman who’s gonna help build the family and not be so interested in just building herself. I could be like any other male wannabe celebrity out there and hang out and date a bunch of people. Of course, there’s a beautiful opportunity to be out there and free. Why not eat up all the fruit on the trees? But the end result is that those things bring a dishonor to the family, and I will have served nobody but myself. I’ve sacrificed what I want to do for the sake of my family, and that’s what I need.”

“Sometimes men are drawn to each other and don’t know how to deal with that. So they think, ‘I must be gay!’ But we hide from the quality that is most prolific in human beings, to express love. God is love. And we remain in his image. Only one other angel is made in his image, and he became Jesus on this earth, his only begotten son. So why is it that we run from love? Why can’t men look at each other in the eye with honesty?”

Thanks, Terrence. He is always good for an interesting quote or two or three.
