Taraji P. Henson is on the cover of Monarch Magazine for June and did a spread. In the cover story they asked Taraji about the role of black actresses in Hollyweird:

When asked what she thinks of the film industry today and the availability of nonstereotypical roles for black women, Taraji says she doesn’t buy into all the hype. Always being the extreme optimist, Henson believes there are a lot of great roles out there and has never been one to “turn up her nose” to any role. “I don’t judge characters because they are based on real people and there is a reason why that person is the way they are.

It ain’t nothing going on here but the rent.  There’s nothing wrong with two extremely good-looking and reportedly single adults (one of them, at least), who are probably attracted to each other and fighting that sexual tension, to be in a curiously sensual embrace with one another.  Get serious, people.

Wowsers, it looks like Taraji P. Henson broke out with an impromptu impression of her character, Yvette, from “Baby Boy” at the wrong time because Sanaa doesn’t look like she was feeling that ‘ish.  She was just playing, Sanaa, take a load off.

Taraji P. Henson talks about her role in “Benjamin Button”:

In Benjamin Button, which hits theaters nationwide on Christmas Day, she stars as Brad Pitt’s aging mother, a central role that has industry gums flapping. “She’s in a movie that people are saying is an Oscar contender and could be one of the most successful films of the year,” says Sanaa Lathan, her friend and co-star in Tyler Perry’s recent The Family That Preys (Lionsgate).

Director John Singleton, who has worked often with Henson, goes a step further: “They say she’s in Oscar contention.” But Henson demurs. “I really don’t like to think about the Oscars, because I’ve been hearing that since my very first movie, Baby Boy,” she says, aglow in a green and white zebra-striped Veronica M. sundress and sparkly metallic flip-flops. “If God sees it in my future to win, then that’s incredible because that means I’ve touched that many people. But I can’t think about it. What if it doesn’t happen? I leave it up to the stars.”

She can sit there and act cool, but we ain’t. We love Taraji and can’t wait to see her walk across that stage to accept her award. How do Bossip folk feel about the Oscar talk surrounding her role in “Benjamin Button”?
