Taraji’s Bigger & Better ‘Hot White Holidays’ Red Carpet Coverage – WATCH! (EUR Exclusive)

*Taraji P. Henson, Golden Globe-winning star of “Empire” and the upcoming movie “Hidden Figures,” is back this holiday season to spread cheer, goodwill and some holiday magic in the second annual music and variety special “Taraji’s White Hot Holidays,” airing Thursday, Dec. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), on FOX.

Our associate, LaCora Stephens, got a chance to speak with the flawless queen herself.  Taraji mentioned details on what will make this show bigger than last year.

“My friends watched and were excited and they wanted to be a part of it.”

Her list of friends include Tyler Perry, Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams and Missy Elliot, not to mention her co-star Jussie Smollett, returning to the stage and many more!

Now, we wouldn’t be EURweb if we didn’t keep it one hundred. LaCora, reports though it was a long list of friends invited, a lot didn’t make the carpet, which is normal since they were taping. Snoop Dogg was the only one who gave us love and kept it real as he always does speaking of “Marijuana Etiquette” for newcomers since California’s legalization news hit.

But on the other hand, the ones who did walk the carpet: Neyo, Taye Diggs and Taraji’s kindred spirit, Tyrese, didn’t even talk to the Black press. Oh, they opened their mouth for the Caucasian outlets, but showed no love to EURweb and other black outlets.

Despite all of Tyrese’s rants about race, black love, community and whatever else, this arrogant…fill in the blank, failed to acknowledge EURweb, the only BLACK OWNED media present. What a hypocrite! LaCora also mentioned that Tyrese had the temerity to say, “Man, I ain’t doing no full carpet” and gladly walked off; while superstar host, producer and actress of the special, Taraji P. Henson , spoke to every single reporter there. Even when they tried to get Henson off the carpet before LaCora could get her interview, she (Taraji) stepped in like a sister and said, “No, let her ask her question.”  Take notes Tyrese.
