    Vivica Fox: Did She Question 50 Cent’s Sexuality on “Watch What Happens Live?”

    Vivica A. Fox was chatting about her upcoming guest role on Empire with Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, when she made an interesting comment. Now some are wondering if she was questioning 50 Cent’s sexuality.

    Andy Cohen and Vivica A. Fox were contemplating a post 50 Cent made–that has since been removed–about “gay stuff” on Empire.

    That’s when Vivica A. Fox made the comment in question.

    “You know, the pot called the kettle black is all I’m saying,” she said.

    Andy Cohen quickly asked Fox is she was calling 50 Cent (who is her ex, by the way) gay.

    “He’s not. … He just seems like he’s got something that’s not quite clear,” she said, and referencing a magazine cover that featured 50 Cent and Soulja Boy.

    Neither 50 Cent nor Soulja Boy appreciated Vivica A. Fox’s comments.

    Soulja Boy called her a “Granny desperate for attention.”

    50 Cent said “She things (sic) I’m gay because I let her lick my ass.”

    It’s worth noting that 50 Cent has an issue with Empire. He believes the show ripped off his Starz show Power.

    It’s also worth noting that Vivica A. Fox thrives on drama. Did you see her on the last season of Celebrity Apprentice? Enough said.

    Fox has since apologized to Soulja Boy, but not to 50 Cent.

    Do you think 50 Cent is gay and Vivica A. Fox has let the cat out of the bag? Or is she simply causing drama for the sake of nothing more than–well, causing drama?

  • Taraji P. Henson Talks Working With Vivica A. Fox on ‘Empire’

    Taraji P. Henson plays the role of Cookie Lyon on the hit series Empire, and fans will love the new season, when Cookie’s sister–played by Vivica A. Fox–joins the show’s cast for one episode.

    “I’m very excited about that,” Taraji P. Henson said in a recent interview. “I mean, I watched Vivica before I even got into the business. And she’s always been one that I’ve looked up to, like, ‘God, I want to be able to do what she does.’ So, to be able to work with the person who you’ve admired for so long, it’s just mind-blowing.”

    Vivica A. Fox will play the role of Henson’s older sister in the show. Ilene Chaiken, one of the show’s executive producers, said that Fox’s addition to the storyline will further fuel Empire’s dramatic plot.

    “Cookie’s other family members are troublesome, to say the least,” she said.

    Before she gets to work with Vivica A. Fox, however, Taraji P. Henson will wow fans at the Emmy Awards, where she is competing for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

    So who is Taraji P. Henson wearing to the Emmy Awards?

    “Alexander Wang,” she said in a recent interview with the New York Post.

    Could Taraji P. Henson’s life be any more exciting at the moment? From celebrating the upcoming premiere of Empire’s second season to starring alongside Vivica A. Fox–and then, of course, there are the Emmy Awards. This actress has life by the horns right now–and will likely continue to hang on tightly for what looks to be a lengthy ride.

  • Taraji P. Henson Gets Her Mind Blown, Works With Vivica A. Fox On ‘Empire’

    Empire fans waiting for Season 2, you won’t just watch out for the comeback of Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon, you will also be watching out for her oldest sister.

    And yes, even Taraji P. Henson is very excited to work with her. It’s no other than Vivica A. Fox!

    Vivica A. Fox will be playing Henson’s older sister in the show for one episode. Ilene Chaiken, one of the show’s executive producers, said that Fox’s addition to the storyline will add more drama to the plot.

    “Cookie’s other family members are troublesome, to say the least,” Chaiken said.

    Lee Daniels, Empire’s co-creator, said that there is a possibility that this season will focus on Cookie Lyon’s family in order to set up that spin-off for success.

    Though they did not reveal yet in what episode Fox will show up, Henson expressed her excitement to work with her.

    “I’m very excited about that,” Taraji P. Henson said. “I mean, I watched Vivica before I even got into the business. And she’s always been one that I’ve looked up to, like, ‘God, I want to be able to do what she does.’ So, to be able to work with the person who you’ve admired for so long, it’s just mind-blowing.”

    Henson also commented on her nomination for Primetime Emmys Lead Actress in a Drama for this year’s ceremony, Henson said she’s amazed but “it’s sort of bittersweet.”

    “Because here we are in 2015, and we’re still saying things like, ‘First African-American,’ ‘First woman this,’” Henson commented.

    “I just pray to God … and it’s not even about me. I hope Viola wins. I hope I win,” Henson continued. “Just so we can get past this and we don’t have to say in 2020 or 2030 or 3000, ‘The first’ I mean, come on, really,” Henson said, laughing.

    Empire Season 2 premieres September 23.

  • Brandi Glanville: RHOBH Star Prays for LeAnn Rimes

    Brandi Glanville is known for being a rather loud and sort-of conniving star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But is that how Brandi really behaves when she’s not on TV? If you ask people like Donald Trump and Vivica A. Fox–or maybe even Geraldo Rivera–they will no doubt recall her recent days on Celebrity Apprentice, and they might not know how to answer. If you read Brandi’s latest Bravo blog, however, you might be forced to believe there’s a decent human being inside.

    It’s important to recall that Brandi Glanville was once married to Eddie Cibrian, and that he cheated on her with country singer LeAnn Rimes. Cibrian and Rimes have been married for quite some time now, and they have butted heads with Brandi on more than one occasion.

    Now back to that blog.

    On Wednesday of this week, Brandi Glanville proceeded to write her post, and in it were some incredibly compassionate passages.

    “I’m in my American Airlines’ seat 36 hours later, flying back home from NYC, thankful to be on a safe path home,” Glanville wrote. “My prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the downed German airliner in the French Alps this morning.”

    “I cannot imagine the pain being experienced by these families at this moment, which shockingly has led me to add a new person into my flight prayer today…” Glanville continued. “My children’s stepmom. Don’t get me wrong–not everything is yet copasetic, but my children love her, so she is now in the ‘flight prayer,’ differences aside.”

    Yes, you read that correctly. Brandi Glanville just prayed for LeAnn Rimes.

    Now certainly tragedies like the downed German airliner make lots of people count their blessings, but Brandi Glanville’s situation with LeAnn Rimes is anything but typical.

    Are you as shocked as most people must be to learn that Brandi Glanville included LeAnn Rimes in her prayers? Does it show you a side to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star you thought perhaps didn’t exist?

  • Vivica A. Fox To Return To “Independence Day” Sequel, Will Smith Is Out

    Vivica A. Fox has reportedly joined the cast for the Independence Day sequel, which is due to hit theaters right around the first film’s 20th anniversary.

    Fox will join fellow original cast members Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman for the new movie, but Will Smith won’t be starring this time around; Liam Hemsworth will reportedly be taking on the action-hero role.

    “Will Smith cannot come back because he’s too expensive, but he’d also be too much of a marquee name. We have like maybe half of the people that you would know from the first film (in the script) and the other half people who are new,” director Roland Emmerich said in 2013.

    Vivica tweeted the news about her role this week, sharing a photo of herself with Emmerich, and said she is “blessed”.

    Fox, who most recently appeared on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump, made headlines earlier this year with her ongoing feud with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore. The duo traded barbs on the show several times, with Moore saying at one point that “Bosses don’t cry in the boardroom”, a comment aimed at Fox.

    “I saw that little cheap shot she tried to make. I’m an emotional creature, I’m a woman, and I’ve never been ashamed to show my feelings and that I care,” Fox told TheWrap in February.

    According to a 2013 Screenrant article, the Independence Day sequel will take place in an alternate reality, but will be in present day.

    The sequel will pick up in real-time, some twenty years after the first movie. However, co-writers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (the latter is returning to direct) have revealed that ID4-2 takes place in an alternate present-day reality, where humanity has spent the last two decades harvesting the alien technology featured in the first movie.

  • Vivica A. Fox Confirmed for ‘Independence Day 2,’ What About Will Smith?

    Vivica A. Fox has gone from Donald Trump’s boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice back to the big screen. The actress has signed on to star in Independence Day 2. What about Will Smith? Will he appear in the fit film’s sequel, too?

    The film, called ID Forever, will star Liam Hemsworth in addition to Vivica A. Fox. It won’t star Will Smith, however.

    Roland Emmerich, the director of both films, took to Twitter to confirm Vivica’s return. Posting a photo of he and the gorgeous actress, Roland wrote, “Exciting news… just officially closed @MsVivicaFox for #IndependenceDay!”

    Vivia A. Fox shared her gratitude as well.

    In addition to Vivica A. Fox reprising her role as Jasmine Dubrow, Jeff Goldblum will reprise his role as David Levinson. Jessie Usher has been confirmed to headline the film, playing the role originated by Will Smith.

    Were you a fan of Independence Day? Will you look forward to its sequel, ID Forever, in 2016?

  • Vivica A. Fox Talks 50 Cent, Calls Him the Love of Her Life

    Vivica A. Fox–on the heels of getting fired by Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice–sat down with Meredith Vieira on The Meredith Vieira Show, in an episode that will air on Monday, and talked about a very special man from her past.

    Fox, of course, dated 50 Cent way back when, and they famously broke up in 2003. She admitted to Vieira, however, that he still holds a very special place in her heart.

    “He is absolutely the love of my life,” she admitted, but added that dating him was ‘difficult.’

    “I really, really cared for him and I loved him very, very much and I always will, but he just wasn’t right for me,” she said. “That’s hard when you really, really love a person in your heart, you want to be with them, but you finally have to say, ‘He’s just not right for me.’”

    Vivica A. Fox and 50 Cent dated for about a year, and when they split each talked negatively in the media about the other. These days, however, she wishes nothing but good things for the ‘My Life’ rapper.

    “I wish him the best, he is amazing and baby, he’s fine, but… sometimes love ain’t always right,” Vivica A. Fox explained to Meredith Vieira. “The heart wants what it wants, but sometimes it’s just not right.”

    Fox learned something very important during her relationship with 50 Cent, however.

    “[I learned] to trust in my heart and know to take the time not to settle,” she spilled. “I think as women sometimes we’re afraid to be alone or we think, ‘Oh my god, he’s a great catch.’”

    Vivica A. Fox makes an excellent point in this statement–something all women, whether young or old–should take note of. Not settling is among the greatest gifts a woman can give to herself. Settling inevitably leads to destruction–of one or both people in a relationship.

    Kudos to Vivica A. Fox for sharing her wise words, that likely weren’t easy to come by. She learned from experience, and that can hurt. But when the lesson is a good one, it always makes one stronger in the end.

    Will you tune in to The Meredith Vieira Show on Monday to see her entire interview with Vivica A. Fox? What else might she share about her time with 50 Cent?

  • Vivica A. Fox Admits That 50 Cent Is ‘Absolutely the Love of My Life’

    Vivica A. Fox says that ex-boyfriend, 50 Cent, is “absolutely the love of her life.”

    The rapper and Vivica A. Fox’s relationship was tumultuous at best while they were dating, and some may be surprised to hear that the considers him the love of her life.

    However, on an appearance on The Meredith Vieira Show, Vivica A. Fox told the talk show host that her relationship with 50 Cent is, thus far, the most important of her life.

    “He is absolutely the love of my life,” said Vivica A. Fox, 50, although she admitted that dating 50 Cent, 39, was “difficult.”

    “I really, really cared for him and I loved him very, very much and I always will, but he just wasn’t right for me,” Fox told Meredith Vieira in an episode that will air on Monday. “That’s hard when you really, really love a person in your heart, you want to be with them, but you finally have to say, ‘He’s just not right for me.’”

    The former couple dated for about a year and their break up in 2003 proved to be very ugly as both stars said some very ugly things publicly about each other.

    With time, Vivica A. Fox says she came to have no ill-will towards 50 Cent. She told Vieira that she was crazy in love with him at the time, but conceded that it just couldn’t work between them.

    “I wish him the best, he is amazing and baby, he’s fine, but… sometimes love ain’t always right,” she said “The heart wants what it wants, but sometimes it’s just not right.”

    Vivica A. Fox told the Meredith Vieira that she gained much wisdom from the experience of loving and leaving 50 Cent.

    “[I learned] to trust in my heart and know to take the time not to settle,” said Fox. “I think as women sometimes we’re afraid to be alone or we think, ‘Oh my god, he’s a great catch.’”

  • Kate Gosselin: Does She Need to Grow A Pair?

    Kate Gosselin has long been known as a fierce mom-warrior. Just watch old episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and you’ll see there’s no question that this woman has a plan, the energy to carry it out, and the voice to let anyone know if they stand in her way, they’ve had it. Ask Jon Gosselin if you have further questions.

    So what happened to Kate Monday night on Celebrity Apprentice?

    Spoiler Alert. If you didn’t watch Monday night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, you might want to stop reading. Right here.

    Kate Gosselin heard those infamous words spoken by Donald Trump–the ones no contestant on Celebrity Apprentice ever want to hear.

    “Kate, your fired,” the Donald told her on Monday night.

    Did she deserve to go?

    Kate hasn’t been what anyone would call a powerhouse throughout the season, but she’s been a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ kind of team player. She hasn’t succumbed to the ridiculous drama that has been all-encompassing between Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore. On Monday night, Brandi steered clear of all drama, but it ensued–this time between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. In fact, Vivica delivered one zinger to Kenya that will no doubt go down in the books as the funniest–but true–line of the season.

    “Stop it, baby. You sittin’ over there with a badonkadonk that’s fake as hell, so don’t go there. Don’t go there. She doesn’t have them boobs done? Come on, stop that, Kenya. Sittin’ over there with a seven-pack of lashes on. Stop that,” she said.

    Kate Gosselin, meanwhile, became lost in the drama. Instead of using that time to line up her soldiers for battle with Donald Trump, she grew weary of the fight, and appeared like she hadn’t a clue about what to say to defend herself and her team–the losing team.

    The old Kate Gosselin would have raised her voice, turned red in the face, and fired back at the silliness that took place between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. Even if it had little to nothing to do with why their team lost the challenge, she could have at least tried.

    Kate appeared on the Today show on Tuesday morning–a morning-after tradition this season for those fired from the show.

    Does Kate Gosselin need to grow a pair?

    Celebrity Apprentice was filmed last fall, so in reality, Kate has long since healed since getting the boot from Donald Trump. She is also rumored to be dating a millionaire.

    Hopefully she’s dusted herself off and unearthed some of that former assertiveness that made people either really love her or really hate her. Without it, however, she just isn’t Kate Gosselin. And Kate is a force to be reckoned with.
