    Taraji P. Henson Chokes Up: Explains That The Industry Doesn’t Pay Fairly and How She Considered Quitting Acting

    Taraji P. Henson recently pointed out in an interview with Gayle King on SiriusXM that when asked if she had considered retiring from acting, her heart fell to pieces right there and then.
    Regarding the under-paid nature of work in Hollywood, she expressed frustration while noting that her hard work is bringing substantial returns yet, she’s only receiving a small fraction of what she nets.

    Henson also talked about the financial difficulties faced by actors, noting that much of their income is eaten up after paying taxes and compensating team members. In addition, she stated that Black actors and stories both have limited overseas marketing potential, one of the reasons for their imbalance in pay.

    The Color Purple director confirmed her account and added that he himself battled to get his intended leading actors into the film. Henson’s insistence upon fair pay is also related to her wish for other actresses and for a better industry all around.

    “The Color Purple”

    Cameron Diaz Displeased With Rumors About Jamie Foxx On ‘Back In Action’ Set

    While speaking about her time on the set of 

    “Back in Action” 

    with Jamie Foxx, the actress takes time to shut down the rumors that she was never going to make another movie because of him. She describes her emotions regarding the topic as irate.

    During the time Foxx was filming the upcoming Netflix action-comedy, barely eight months after he experienced a medical emergency, Diaz reminisces some of the absurd rumors that flew around at the time.

    On the latest episode of Molly Sims’ Lipstick on the Rim Podcast, she reveals,

    “I hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time, you just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?”.

    She describes Foxx as the cheerleader for the entire crew, highlighting that everyone loves him and as a matter of fact, crew members are rest assured to have fun with him on set further describing him as a professional at every level.

    According to Diaz, she heard rumors that Foxx went crazy on set and proceeded to make everything miserable.

    However, the 

    “Bad Teacher”

    star reinforced that she

    “had a blast”

    while making 

    “Back in Action,” 

    her first movie in nearly a decade. She praised Foxx describing him as the best,

    “I love that guy so much, He’s such a special person and he’s so talented, so much fun.”

    In regards to making the project, Diaz added,

    “The hiccups that happened throughout the production are the natural kinds of things that happen, but nothing got delayed other than, obviously, toward the end. And that’s something that is not my place to speak about.”

    In addition, Diaz referenced Foxx’s health describing the situation as thriving, and while she disclosed the Oscar Winner reassured her, she added that despite knowing the truth,

    “it just really made me angry.”

  • Drew Barrymore and Jason Momoa Brainstorm On Rom-com Ideas

    Drew Barrymore and Jason Momoa Brainstorm On Rom-com Ideas

    Jason Momoa and Drew Barrymore sat down during her show to pitch the 50 First Date sequel. The actors flirted with the idea of starring in a romantic comedy movie together.

    The actors sat together pitching film ideas that would probably feature both of them in the future.

    On the new episode of the show

    “The Drew Barrymore Show,”

    Momoa asked Drew about her favorite romantic comedy film she’s ever featured in.

    Drew replied,

    “Well, I was thinking particularly of 50 First Dates.”

    The Charlie’s Angels star asked Momoa if he’d star in a romantic comedy film. The duo went on to play a game

    “Is there a rom-com you would ever remake?”

    Momoa responded,

    “Yeah, maybe 50 More Dates.”

    Momoa’s comeback led Drew to stylishly drop her jaw and flip her hair, which caused Momoa to imitate her. Momoa then teased and added,

    “You need to come back to the islands and meet a Hawaiian man.”

    “I would do that. Of course, are you kidding?”

    she responded.

    She further asked,

    “Is there, like, a woman in history, someone out there, you’re producing a rom-com you’re going to do it, who would you ever cast?”

    Momoa responded,

    “Well, aside from the movie we were just talking about?”

    Drew further said she was inquiring because rom-coms are her

    “favorite genre”

    and she believes Momoa would be great in being part of it.

    “Well, there’s someone out there,”

    he said.

    “I don’t know if I want to say it but there’s someone out there.”

    Drew expressed her joy and wished Momoa’s vision for the rom-com would come true.
