‘Empire’ star Taraji P. Henson delivers diva on the latest cover of The Hollywood Reporter. 

Smartly unveiled ahead of tonight’s new episode, the feature sees the Emmy and Oscar nominee pose with her make-up artist, Ashunta Sheriff, a-front of the magazine’s 4th annual Beauty Issue. A wise choice we must say.

Gloriously glamorous, the cover serves to re-affirm our stance that neither Taraji or her Cookie Lyon character can do any wrong in our eyes.

Stunning!

Justin Bieber‘s new album may titled ‘Purpose,’ but ‘Redemption’ feels more apt.

On the eve of its release, the set – which arrives after a tricky few years for the singer – is being tipped for blockbuster success. This, thanks largely to the winning run of lead singles ‘What Do You Mean?’ and ‘Sorry.’

Capitalizing on the public’s renewed embrace of his music the 22-year-old has officially announced the ‘Purpose Tour.’

Set to kick off in Seattle next March, the US leg of the trek (the first to be unveiled) will wrap up in May 2016 before hitting international markets.

Video announcement on ‘Ellen’ and dates below…
