Taraji P. Henson made a guest appearance on Wendy Williams yesterday to promote her new CBS show “Person of Interest” and her upcoming John Singleton movie which she stars in alongside her on-screen love interest Tyrese (see: “Baby Boy”).

During her chat with Wendy, Taraji talked about why she’ll never date Tyrese or Terrence Howard, while also denying rumors that she ever dated Drake and confirming rumors that she dated Common.

“Okay I’ll tell you the truth, Common and I did date. All the rest no,” the 41-year-old actress said.

Watch a clip from the interview below:

[Necole Bitchie]

As a collective, Tyrese and Taraji P. Henson will always be known as “Jody and Yvette from Baby Boy” … and if new reports are anything to go by, it looks like the pair are to re-unite for a second time in a new John Singleton movie!

Though details about the film (including a possible title or who else will be in it) have yet to be released, Tyrese recently revealed that it will most definitely NOT be a sequel to “Baby Boy,” which was released in 2001.

Tyrese tweeted:

“Official.. Me and my girl Taraji are doing another classic together soon.!! John Singleton will be directing us. And not it’s not BB2.”

Tyrese recently sat down with an interview with Ace Showbiz, where he spilled the beans about the upcoming John Singleton flick:

The first single “Stay” was made available for purchase in August, and was written based on a relationship he had years ago. “I was in a relationship with this girl and I wasn’t making her priority. I did what I had to do to get her love me and like me and get her in a relationship with me and I basically at the time, which was years ago, … started to focus more on my career,” he shared. “So things got extra bad and I was begging her to stay.”

The love story was visualized in a beautifully-shot music video which sees Tyrese reuniting with his “Baby Boy” co-star and longtime pal Taraji P. Henson. “I love her [and] she loves me. She’s a beautiful person, very humble, funny as hell. Even though it’s been ten years [since 'Baby Boy'] you can’t really put a timeline between magic,” he gushed. “I think she’s really special, beautiful and I was honored that she wanted to do my ‘Stay’ video.”

Talking about reunion with Taraji, Tyrese spilled further that he has been in talks with “Baby Boy” director John Singleton to team up with her again in a new movie. The rumor started swirling when “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” actress tweeted about her meeting with the two guys, and it was later confirmed by Tyrese himself. “John singleton is on a mission to get me and Taraji to do it again,” he stated.

Can’t wait to see how this new movie turns out!

In the meantime, look out for Tyrese’s upcoming album “Open Invitation,” due in stores on November 1st.

Taraji P. Henson takes it all off in a brand new ad for PETA‘s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign!!

The 40 year-old actress said that watching a PETA documentary actually made her change her mind about wearing fur. She also spoke on why she despises it being used in fashion, and revealed that she became anti-fur once she realized what went into making fur clothing and accessories.

Check out her quotes and video footage from her interview with PETA below!

“I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. When I realized what went into—not just, we’re not just even talking about a full-length fur coat, I’m talking about just … fur on your gloves or on your jacket or—what goes into making that little piece of fur ripped my heart out. And as humans, we have control. What if someone said, ‘Black skin is the new fur’?”

When asked about a budding relationship with actress Taraji P. Henson, Drake (who was allegedly spotted with the actress back in July) had this to say backstage shortly before his performance:

“Nah, that was just my cousin, she just looks like her,” Drake said in an interview when asked about hitting the town with actress Taraji P. Henson. “How did this conversation switch? [laughs] It was all so professional, let’s keep it a hundred. I love older women, though. I love experience and maturity and the conversation. I like to learn from an individual, like, when we converse, I like to really be able to soak it all in, the knowledge, the wisdom, all that. You know what I mean?”

Here Jamie Foxx can be seen paying tribute to Michael Jackson (comedically, of course) as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, which aired live from Los Angeles Sunday night (Jun 28) on BET. Jamie Foxx is probably one of the few people who can make light of a sad situation and have everyone laughing and crying at the same time. The BET Awards was supposed to dedicate the entire show to Michael, per the press release sent out Friday, but failed to impress.

The show itself was pretty good, but they should have never mentioned dedicating the show to MIchael if they didn’t have the time to do it right. That said, we really hope they put together an entire special to honor the late King of Pop so they can at least try to save face. But for now, continue reading for photos of Soulja Boy, Jay-Z, Monica, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and many more celebrities who participated in this year’s BET Awards.
