Mo'Nique and "Empire" Rumor

Those who saw Lee Daniel's "Precious" know that Mo'Nique played the hell out of her role as a screwed up, abusive single mother in the film. If there were any doubts about her acting ability, they were all resolved with her performance in "Precious".

Lee Daniels: The Brains Behind "EMPIRE"

Where does a television series like "Empire" come from? Who envisions and creates characters, writes the script? Is there one writer, two...or more?

These are questions the viewer probably raises after watching an episode of "Empire", the blockbuster made-for-television first-run series that debuted on FOX this year, in 2015.

"EMPIRE" Took Ratings & Viewers By Storm

No matter what anyone says, "Empire" is phenomenal!

The newly debuted FOX series is a refreshing change from the gutter-rat drama on VH1's The Real Housewives of Atlanta", where Nene Leakes gives the term loudmouth fool a new meaning. Unlike the bitchy mentality of reality TV where women group into cliques and go at each other. One side bullies the other and the other side better come out swinging, or they'll be wimped out. Really? No, thank you.
