EMPIRE Talk Week 1 (FOX TV) Lee Daniels, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard
There’s no better feeling than to find out people are watching what you’re doing, I’m not talking about Fox’s new drama Empire yet, created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, I’m talking about me, and Tinsel & Tine. A PR Rep for the show and FOX TV contacted me to ask if I wanted to be a Blog Ambassador for #EMPIRE. And it didn’t just come with an email, it came with a phone call from LA!
