That Grape Juice was on hand at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Empire’ last night!
Like the 10 million that tuned in to the FOX show and took to social media to voice their approval, we’re already hooked.
Keen to find out what the rest of the series will have on offer, we chatted it up with lead stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson (who play Luscious and Cookie Lyon) , as well as co-stars Jussie Smollett (Jamal) and Trai Byers (Andre).
Peep the gold carpet action above and watch out for a diva-fied cameo from Naomi Campbell!

Omg! That was hilarious.
So happy for Taraji and the rest of the cast.
LOL @ Naomi tho.
Did Naomi just have a whitney moment on the carpet? Lolol
Love Taraji! I wish her all the best,haven’t watch person of interest since she left.Naomi and that attitude…smh!
Naomi….girl….
Naomi is familiar with the relentless stan worship here. She’s too mature for this site.
*SLOW DEATH*!!! @ naomi paying tgj dust! LOOOOOOOOOL that has given me life until mid-2015.
LMFAOOOOOOOO Naomi is HILARIOUS!!!! I love that bish!
I was cringing the whole time while watching the first episode, The story is really good, But the writers need to be fired immediately!!! The script was poorly written, the acting was mediocre due the horrible script, which sucks because the cast can really act the characters for the most part. But it SUCKED. The gays will probably flock to this show as the gay son Joseph’s story develops…

Only the story can save it from being chopped by FOX. The show seems like it should be on the BET or Centric network, and it’s no shade, yet kudos to them for breaking through on FOX and SLAYING 9.8million viewers

Overall I thought it was super cheesy, but it can get better, hopefully!…
