Continuing its incredible run, the freshman series once again rose in viewership – for its ninth consecutive week.

FOX‘s freshman smash ‘Empire’ is the show on everyone’s lips…and for good reason.
The music-drama serves up a potent package of sass, drama, glamor, and jaw-dropping storylines revolving around the Lyon family – anchored by Luscious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson).
Next week sees the action reach its climax in the season 1 FINALE. Check out a sneak peek preview below…
The primetime success of ABC’s ‘Black-ish,’ ‘Scandal,’ and ‘How To Get Away With Murder,’ alongside FOX’s breakout hit series ‘Empire,’ are proving themselves just the catalysts needed to see more faces of color in high profile roles.
Now, with ABC and FOX changing the game, CBS and NBC are both readying a slew of projects to “get in on the action,” so to speak, by calling on the likes of Rockmond Dunbar, Anika Noni Rose, and Lance Gross to veteran actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Phylicia Rashad to help steer potential future projects upward.
Get the latest on all of the previously mentioned actors/actresses and more as primetime TV promises to see its most diverse displays yet later this year, early next year:

As such, for DK staple Aubrey O’Day it’s back to the reality TV circuit.
Having previously starred in her own Oxygen series, the fiery siren is now the newest cast-mate on WE tv’s….‘Marriage Boot Camp.’
Like many, we initially scratched our heads as O’Day isn’t… actually… married. However, it turns out that’s apparently no concern for producers, who signed the 31-year-old up with longterm boyfriend – indie singer Travis Garland.
The pair’s storyline synopsis below…

There, the photogenic pair took a journey to the past to get to the bottom of the headline-grabbing feud that Banks said forced her to leave the modelling world and build what’s now known to be a very ‘Bankable’ empire.

“There’s never been a closet”
Those were the words of popular ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett while chatting with talk show maven Ellen today.
Guesting on show to promote the FOX smash, the 31-year-old – who plays rising gay singer Jamal on the Lee Daniels drama – initially avoided the topic of his real-life sexuality. Instead, he requested to sit down with the host in a more intimate setting backstage to open up about his truth.

As ABC’s favourite writer Shonda Rhimes continues to craft and collect ideas for her forthcoming TV stories, the cast of her hit show ‘Scandal’ joined forces to attend Paleyfest hours ago.
There, with help from the moderator Jimmy Kimmel, the cast took part in a question and answer session where they were quizzed on the show by loyal fans.

Mo’Nique is fighting vehemently for both her career and her reputation.
The star’s claim that she was told she had been “blackballed” by Hollywood has not only made headlines but has also birthed a slew of new ones.
Most notable in the midst of the mayhem has been her war of words with ‘Precious’ director Lee Daniels – the man she says informed her of her relegated status.
Unapologetic, Daniels (who is enjoying ample success with his FOX series ‘Empire’), elaborated on his statement by adding that he feels the actress/comedian ultimately “blackballed” herself by bailing on promotional duties.
Still on the rebuttal trail, Mo and her husband/manager Sidney Hicks stopped by V103 radio in Atlanta this week to tell their side of the story.
A fascinating watch, the pair expand on the reasons for rejecting the requests (from the movie studio, Oprah Winfrey, and others) to promote the film abroad.
What’s more, while suggesting that she’s the latest in a long line of “friends” Daniels has turned on, Mo’ revealed that Halle Berry has fallen foul of his favour and that she witnessed him call the ‘Extant’ actress a “b*tch.”

Since January, Whitney Houston‘s only child Bobbi Kristina has lay in coma in an Atlanta hospital where she’s been fighting for her life after being found face down in a bath tub.
The weeks following her hospitalisation have brought with them many questions surrounding the 22-year-old’s longterm boyfriend Nick Gordon and the role he may have played in the matter.
Publicly put down by Bobbi’s father Bobby Brown, Gordon has been forbidden access to the hospital where the woman he falsely claimed was his “wife” is being cared for by doctors.
Seemingly fed up, he agreed to an interview with talk-show host Dr Phil this week to tell his side of the story. Unbeknownst to him, the sit-down was actually an intervention set up by his mother – who has been worried about his suicidal thoughts and substance abuse.
Set to air on Wednesday (March 11th), a sneak peek of the tense episode has been released.

Beyond ‘Empire’, FOX are riding high with another freshman show – ‘Gotham’.
A ratings hit, the series – which tells the story of the iconic city pre its Batman era – has captivated viewers with its slick production, impressive performances, and spot-on-nods to the classic characters who feature in the story of the caped crusader.
On the cusp of its season one climax, it has been confirmed that the show will be waving goodbye to one its most-loved staples, Jada Pinkett Smith.
