Empire Season 2 RECAP: Ep 5 Be True / Ep 6 A High Hope for a Low Heaven / Ep 7 True Love Never / Ep 8 My Bad Parts / Ep 9 Sinned Against / Ep 10 Et tu, Brute
Empire Season 2, Episode 7, 8, 9 &10 The busy life of a film, food and events blogger means you can’t always be home to watch your favorite shows.

Empire Season 2 RECAP: Without a Country
Empire Season 2, Episode 2: Without A Country directed by Dee Rees gets going with Cookie, Andre and Hakeem starting their own label. It takes them a while to come up with a name, but by the end of the episode it’s crowned #LyonDynasty, a perfect name to rival #Empire; not to mention, Lee Daniels and Danny Strong’s mega hit is often referred to as The Black, Dynasty. On the contrary, nobody is down with the name Hakeem comes up with for the all girl group he’s looking to produce. What was Hakeem thinking? #Empire #FOX13 #RainbowSensation @YazzTheGreatest pic.twitter.com/cJ4noSHCKH — FOX13 Memphis (@FOX13Memphis) October 1, 2015 Meanwhile Lucious is still…

Empire Talk Week 9: Unto the Breach (Fox TV)
Quick Recap/Highlights and Around the Web with Empire Note:embedded tweets will not be entirely visible to those receiving Tinsel & Tine via RSS Feed. Only 3 more episodes left of Empire Season 1. I think Twitter is going to miss it most! I couldn’t fit in a post recapping last week’s “The Lyon’s Roar”; but next week is called “Sins of the Father”, boy is that fitting; after that it looks like a two hour season finale, because “Die But Once” and “Who I Am” are both scheduled to air on March 18th. “@KEEPemTLKIN: Porsha and her girls rolled up on Boo Boo Kitty like.. #EmpireFOX pic.twitter.com/aAXp8RYKCv” 😂😂😭😭😂😭😭😂 — S…
