Wednesday night the season finale of the Fox breakout hit “Empire” will air. Actress Taraji P. Henson is one of the lead characters of the musical soap opera, Cookie Lyons.

The 44-year old has been caught the attention of quite a few men. This week Taraji is co-hosting ABC’s “Live with Kelly and Michael” it seems as if her co-host for the week, Michael Strahan has been bit by the “Cookie” bug.

Taraji and the NFL Hall of Famer chatted about current hot topics, and even joked about getting married after the show while discussing the A&E reality show, “Married At First Sight.”

Michael has some stiff competition. Cavs’ JR Smith has been listing Taraji as his #WomanCrushWednesday for weeks.


Taraji’s good friend and former co-star in the John Singleton directed, “Baby Boy,” Tyrese Gibson recently showed his love for Taraji, and dismay at all her new suitors.

I’m not cool with all these dudes feeling all up on Yvette and Its on TV? I heard they call her Cookie now? The homies are telling me I gotta gotta get my bitch back.. I guess I gotta change my name too and go do some show called #Empire? Cause that’s where Yvette is now under her alias #Cookie? Damn…. see you soon —–Jody

Her new love interest on “Empire” Derek Luke responded to Tyrese’s Instagram post with one of his own.
