Taraji P. Henson appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” recently where she confirmed (and denied) some of the dating rumors that have followed her since her “Baby Boy” days. Here’s what she had to say: Tyrese Not all all – ever. I promise you. If I did I would tell [you]. First of all, I am a horrible liar, these big ole’ eyes will tell on me. Oh gosh. I can’t lie. If Tyrese and I crossed that line the love wouldn’t be there. The chemistry wouldn’t be there because Taraji and Tyrese did it. Common Okay I’ll tell you the truth, Common and I did date. All the rest no. Drake Drake was a friend. It was cute because I knew he liked me and I kept looking at him like ‘If you were ten years older, boy whew’ but no. I couldn’t because he is seven years older than my son. Terrence Howard Terrence and I never ever [dated]. Here’s my thing, I don’t mix business with pleasure and I’m saying this to the young girls out there that want to get into the business. Whatever you do in your private life should be just that, private. If you are a hoe, girl be a hoe behind the scenes because if you are having sex with them, why would they want to work with you again? Think about it. She also talks about being a hot mom to her 17-year-old son! Taraji Henson On Her 2009 Oscar Nomination: “I’m Glad I Didn’t Win” Taraji & Tyrese Reunite For Another John Singleton Film

Dear Bossip , Early this year I met a nice young man at a college party. We were introduced by mutual friends who thought we would be perfect together because we both share a love for business. He’s a 22-year old Arab who owns his own restaurant, while I’m a 21-year old business student that has a small clothing store online. We hit it off well. I used to come to his restaurant all the time and we would sit and talk. We both admired each other’s tenacity and after about 3 months of getting to know one another we decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend. Here’s where the problems started. He has never fully introduced me to his parents. I see them all the time when I’m in the restaurant and they definitely know my face, but he has never said, “Mom, Dad this is my girlfriend.” In fact he never introduces me to anyone as his girlfriend unless they give me a compliment or ask him. First side eye. He claims his parents are just super old school and protective and don’t want to know about his relationships until they’re serious to the point of marriage. I guess. Then it became a problem of his friends hitting on me. I hang with them occasionally with him and we have mutual friends, but they are always giving me inappropriate comments like, “damn you look sexy today,” or hitting me up on Facebook to see when I wanna hang out. I brought this up to my boyfriend and he got angry at the fact I don’t respond and said its “rude.” Hmmm. But, he does take me out and we spend a hell of a lot of time together which makes me doubt my suspicions. He takes me on the most wonderful dinners, takes me shopping, buys me diamonds on occasion and we just sit and talk for hours at times. I can truly say he’s one of my best friends and we mesh well, beyond color lines. When I brought up the issue of does he have a problem with me being black, he said it’s more of an issue of me not being Muslim, which confuses me. I can’t help it if I was born Christian and he knew that from the time we met, so how is it a problem now? I feel if it were really an issue he should have never pursued me seriously. It upsets me when I feel like I’m not good enough to get to know his parents even though his brothers call me sis because I’m an educated, nice black woman, there’s nothing stereotypical about me and I’ve worked hard to get to that point. And I’ve told him I’m willing to convert if we get married in the future but not for a relationship. We talk about marriage and kids all the time, but in the context of aligning our similar values for how we want our family to look like and be raised. I really like him and I can see a future but I don’t want to waste my time if he’ll never take me seriously because of my race or religion. I should also bring up the fact that he is super jealous of me going to college because he’s insecure about the fact he never went and is always making comments about it despite being at a place in business where most college grads dream to be. Go figure. Should I let it go, or hold out and try and work through this because I really do like him. – Confused Chick Dear Ms. Confused Chick , Here’s yet another letter from the “Young, Sprung, and Hopeless.” Let me ask you this: Do you speak Arabic? Just as I figured. (Yup, they’re talking about you and you don’t even know it.) Why, oh why, do you folks jump into relationships with folks and there is no communication about your relationship, no discussion of the relationship boundaries, and what it really means to be in a relationship. You expect the other person to just know you and your entire experience. You expect the other person to know everything about you, your likes, dislikes, and your entire background without any context of why you are the way you are. Then, you jump in the bed with them, fall in love with the sex and feel as if you should be in a relationship with them because they sexually make you feel good. Well, here’s a suggestion, how about letting them stimulate your mind, your spiritual, your emotional and mental? How about getting to know them, their background, their history, and what stimulates their mind, their spiritual, and emotional and mental? Why am I making this suggestion. You’re grown and going to do what you want to do any damn way. You’re so “in like” that you are not listening to what he is saying. Well, here’s a newsflash for you Ms. I’m-A-Successful-Business-Woman: HE IS NOT SERIOUS ABOUT YOU. HE IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU HIS WIFE SOME DAY, OR ONE DAY. YOU ARE HIS BLACK GIRL EXPEREINCE UNTIL HE MEETS HIS WIFE WHO WILL BE AN ARAB AND MUSLIM WOMAN . Was that clear enough for you? But, Ms. Honey, do you realize that you are adding three dynamics into your relationship of culture, race, and religion? Culturally he does not understand Black culture only what he sees on television i.e., B.E.T.’s 106 and Park , or experiences in bits and doses of the “hood” when he rides through to pick up the swag, language, music, and style. They are not interested in knowing the black experience or what it means to be black in America. And, you don’t know what it means to be an Arab in America. You don’t know his cultural beliefs, religious practices, or how and why they despise anyone who is not Muslim. You’re just jumping in the bed with him and hoping one day the two of you will be this loving couple who found love despite cultural, racial, and religious lines and be a big ole’ happy Madea family. LMBAO! Girl, grow the “F” up! Despite you being educated, non-stereotypical, and doing things for yourself, you are still a black Christian woman in America. That is all he sees. That is all his friends see. That is all his parents will see. Whatever stereotypes, colloquiums (Look it up I don’t have to time to explain it), and cultural knowledge they have obtained and witnessed about black people on television, well, Ms. Thing, you fall into that category. Regardless. Oh, yeah, that fact that he doesn’t introduce you as his girlfriend, and he doesn’t say anything about his friends hitting on you, well, that says it all. HE SEES YOU AS A PIECE OF MEAT. YOU ARE INSIGNIFICANT TO HIM. And, for the record, sweetie, you’re never going to meet his parents. You’re dating an Arab man who is Muslim. You are a black woman who is Christian. That is taboo. Do you watch the news at all? Are you up-to-date on cultural and religious issues? Chile, I swear you folks need to read a book, study, and learn something other than having sex on the brain, and who’s doing who on the Real Housewives of Atlanta or Basketball Wives . Culturally and religiously you two are not a mix. You’re his taboo black girl he’s getting it in with until he meets an Arab Muslim girl, or the one who is arranged by his parents to marry. You’ve even stated in your letter, “When I brought up the issue of does he have a problem with me being black, he said it’s more of an issue of me not being Muslim, which confuses me.” SMDH. What is confusing about that? Really! I want to know how can he tell you in a more 5 th grade level that the issue is you’re not Muslim. (The chickens have truly come home to roost) Please, and I am urging you to go read a book, study, and learn something about the culture, race, and religion of Arab men and women. Then, I want you to come back to me with a full dissertation on what you’ve learned and if you’re ready to seriously be in a relationship with a man who is Arab Muslim, and with parents who are old school Arab Muslim. Let me ask you this: What do you know about Arab men and their beliefs? What do you know about Arab culture? What do you know about the religion of being Muslim? What do you know about Arab women and the expectations of them to be with Arab men? What does he know about being black? What does he know about black culture and the history of black people in America? What does he know about black women and the significance and roles they play in the black family? What does he know about the history of Christian religion for black folk, or the historical significance of the Harlem Renaissance, the Pro-Black 70’s Movement, or The Black Panthers? What does he know about Sonia Sanchez, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Malcolm X, Maya Angelou, Marcus Garvey, Angela Davis, or any historical black figure fighting for the cause and rights of black folk? Yeah, just as I thought, neither of you don’t know –ish. So, keep sitting your happy-go-lucky-ass up in the restaurant eating every day hoping he will introduce you to his parents as his girlfriend. Chile, once they discover he’s been tapping that, I suggest you don’t eat there any longer. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

You may know Draya from her previous relationship with Chris Brown, seeing her on the covers of countless men’s magazines, music videos, or even from the controversy surrounding her arrest over “child endangerment” accusations. But now, we simply now Draya from her role on the newest season of “Basketball Wives, LA”. She’s the center of attention and the cause of all the drama on the show. From her groupie reputation, outspoken personality and desire to fit in the the other “wives”, it seems that this chick just can’t catch a break . I recently sat down with the model turned reality star to hear her side of the story and see just what really went down with her and the other girls on “Basketball Wives LA”. Take a look at what Draya had to say about her groupie reputation, being linked to famous men, new business ventures, dealing with the backstabbing and drama on the show and even her dating life. There’s definitely more to this girl than boobs, booty and a stripper pole! HelloBeautiful: A lot of people question why you’re on the cast of “Basketball Wives” considering that your not married or engaged to a baller. How did you really get hooked up with the cast? Draya: I met Gloria through an acting class. She was in LA trying to pursue her acting career and I was already involved in the acting world. We became friends and she introduced me to the group. HB: Since you’ve been on the show its been nothing but drama.. and its all been geared towards you.. why do you think that everybody loves to hate on you? Draya : I’ve tried to figure out a reason as to why they would sit around and talk about me all day. But I’m not 45 so I can’t put myself in that mentality. So I don’t know why they do it. I just don’t know. But I’m absolutely favored on the show. People have tried to understand me and understand where I’m coming from. That’s pretty much my whole point as to what I wanted to do. HB: So what happened between you and Laura in that boxing ring? Did you have any idea why she was taking all her anger and aggression out on you? Draya: I had no idea she had beef with me. I guess they planned for me and her to fight each other because when it was time to get in the ring with her, nobody wanted to go in. I’m the only one that shouldn’t have gotten into the ring because I’m the only that makes money off my face. I’m the one that has the most to lose. But I didn’t want to look like a punk so I got in. It was supposed to just be the techniques that we learned and he only showed us two punches and two kicks. She starts swinging like a bat out of hell so I’m thinking that this is a street fight now. She never said anything about it. What they didn’t show was that we went two rounds, like we fought for a while. It wasn’t just a beat down like it looks. HB: This week’s episode was crazy! The girls pulled up the police report from the situation with your son and attacked you! How did that feel? What was going through your mind during that confrontation? Draya: I just look at them like who has the time to do all that. I show these ladies nothing but a nice side of me. It’s not like I showed them any sneaky characteristics about myself for them to not trust me. Why would you look up something on someone who has been about all about positivity? Why would you want to find the bad? They went out of their way to try and find something. I knew that this was something that was going to come out and that it was going to be a topic. HB: Why did you want to be included in their “circle” so bad? Draya: I didn’t want to be included in their circle, I was just being friendly. They invited me to everything that I have showed up to. I wouldn’t try extra hard to be their friend. I got invited to places and I felt going would be nice. I didn’t know what they were saying behind the scenes or when they were together without me. I didn’t know any of that was taking place. As you see they hug and they’re nice and then everything takes a left turn. If you saw any of the bonus clips, where we’re talking about how I used to strip, we’re having a regular, friendly, laughable conversation and then all of a sudden it takes a left turn. It’s just really annoying. HB: Do things between you and the other girls eventually get better on the show? Draya: Things get better as far as what I’m trying to do. Our relationships go up and down and all around. Everybody goes through it with everybody. Just pay close attention. Do you still talk to any of the girls from the show? Draya: I still talk to Malaysia. I don’t really talk to the other girls unless it involves business. HB: Do you have any regrets from being on the show? Draya: No, I don’t have any regrets from being on the show because it’s helped my business. HB: Are you dating someone right now, and do you have a celeb crush? Draya: Yes, I am dating someone right now. I don’t have a celeb crush. I really don’t do that. HB: What do you have to say to people who call u a jump off? Do you feel like they have a valid point or are they just simply “haters”? Draya: I was dating people in the industry who are well known. I’m a normal girl that likes to date guys. If I was dating regular guys nobody would say anything its just because these guys are well known. I’m not just this sex crazed girl that people make me out to be. I’m really in LA working my butt off. I actually have a new business that’s coming soon and you can see more of that on the show. 5 Questions we always ask… What’s in your bag? Mascara, a million lollipops from the bank, lip gloss, jewelry ( in case I have to change it from day to night) If you were forced to get a tattoo, what would it be of? I have 11 tattoos already! But the most meaningful tattoos I have are my mom and my son’s name. Everything else is just artwork. What’s your vice and where do you go to get it? I have to be waxed all over! I go to this salon in LA. What’s one urge you get but never act on? I want to sing in public but I’m always too shy to do it in front of my friends! I can do it in front of strangers but not my friends because they’ll judge me! When was the last time you cried? The episode that just aired this week was the last time I cried, and that was two months ago.

Dating is such an interesting thing, especially in New York. If you get out there enough and stop playing shy, you can meet a wealth of interesting guys. But that doesn’t mean anything will really come from a majority of these meetings. Maybe he’s shady, you’re feeling someone else, or what you both want isn’t what the other is looking for. But many times, let’s just be real–you’re not feeling him. We worry so much as women about what “we’re” doing wrong as to the reasons why we’re single, and what’s wrong with you, but give yourself a break, you don’t want to go for just ANYTHING. Sometimes a guy you’ve been letting wine and dine you around town a few times just isn’t that deal. Here are a few signs that girl, you’re just not that into him. Keep it moving… Continue
