MAG STUFF: TARAJI P. HENSON IN MEN’S FITNESS

Monday, August 10, 2009

Check out some photos from Taraji P.Henson’s spread in the September issue on Men’s Fitness. The Oscar nominated actress spoke exclusively with the mag about various topics. Peep some snippets below.

On Men
“Most men are fragile,” she says. “I’m a successful woman, in the public eye, and raising a kid by myself. It can leave guys feeling like, ‘Damn, how can I have a chance?’” Answer: “Just be a man!”

Have a Gentleman’s Touch
“A woman is gentle, soft, delicate, and a man’s position is to protect her-help her up stairs, make sure she’s in the car safely fi rst. Take good care of your woman, and the sky’s the limit!”

Avoid Mama Drama
“Date a woman with children only if you are ready to man up, because it’s a position that comes with responsibility. If you don’t want anything too serious, then stay with women with no kids.” ( READ MORE / MORE PHOTOS)

yeah, but some woman want the man to be like a slave…

shovel the snow
open car door
work all day while she sit home
pull back her chair
risk his life for her
pay for everything
massage her back
move her furniture
listen while she keeps talking

#6 D. Marie….. I hear ya!

I don’t have kids and I expect my mate to not have any as well… But do you know how hard it is to find somebody without kids in 2009?!! I mean dang, it seems like EVERYBODY has a baby mama

23.

just my opinion

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

@7.

I know she is topless and Keri wasn’t but everybody had a problem. But it probably wasn’t everybody. Its usually just the Beyonce stans hating on other artists just for the fun of it. They have nothing else to do.

I am so proud of Taraji.She has definitely came up since babyboy days.She looks great!

26.

peacekeeper

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

The problem with Keri pictures is that she was in the magazine acting all high and mighty about how she don’t do this and that and turned around and did it. Taraji isn’t talking about how she doesn’t want to show skin or be oversexed.

It’s funny to me how Keri fans are always saying people are hating on her when she is the one that always have something slick to say about the next female artist.

WoW, I so did not think she was 38! I gave her 35, I know it’s not that far away, but it’s still back from 40. If I’m not mistaken, she’s the same age as Ms. Jada! She looks amazing and she’s moving up in the world, very promising.. do ya thing girl!
Oh, I hope she has a magazine article with her daughter included, thx..dunno, I’m just interested in knowing how she looks

28.

*~*lady_love

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

I really like Taraji but that comment about if you don’t want anything too serious get with a woman with no kids kind of put me off. I don’t have children so that means I can’t have a serious relationship with a man? Because I’m not a mother I can only be just a chick he plays around with but not get serious?

I CANT SEE THE DARN PICS, I HAVE AN X OVER ALL THE PICS

LOL

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

@ PEACEKEEPER

RIGHT! SHE SEEMS LIKE THE TYPE THAT LIKES TO LOOK DOWN HER NOSE AT OTHER PEOPLE. SHE SEEMS TO THINK TOO HIGHLY OF HERSELF. HER CD ONLY WENT GOLD SO SHE CAN HAVE A SEAT. I DON’T EVEN LIKE BEYONCE BUT TO COME OUT MAKING A DISS SONG ABOUT HER WHEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT LEVEL IS JUST STUPID! THEN WHEN YOU GET CALLED OUT YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE THE BALLS TO STAND BY YOUR COMMENT. SHE GETS NO RESPECT.

31.

N.O.Finest504

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

WOW, she’s 38?! I so didn’t think she was the same age as Ms. Jada! She looks good though< I am proud of her and wish her continued success!

On another note, who’s to say I want someone to play with my emotions because they’re afraid to deal with women, especially SINGLE women, with children?! Just because a man doesn’t want to deal with that type of area of a relationship, doesn’t mean he can’t HANDLE it or whatever. Shit, the Father of the child is the one who can’t HANDLE it, that’s why he left or YOU dropped his ass. Not feeling the comment at all, and just figure that I’ll give her a pass and just chalk it up as taken out of context
N-E-ways, can we see your daughter featured with you in a magazine story? Just interested…thx

32.

she doing her THING tho…i see you baby!!

Ladyssolady

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

#22, I hear you! Everybody I know has kids! I have none, don’t want any, so sometimes that can work out in favor if the person has a child so that pressure may not have to be on me about having one. I rather a man not to have one/them, but its real out here in ‘09. When I meet someone who doesn’t, I’m shocked, lol.

35.

@ Peacekeeper

That was exactly the issue. If u would look at the comments
ALL of them gave her props on the pics, but hypocrisy was too blatant to be ignored.
She is really fake and wishy washy. If she would have kept it 100 nobody would
have said anything negative in her post cause the pics were fire….and this is coming
from a Ciara stan.

36.

back again...

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

she looks GREAT i can only hope to still look 30 at damn near 40!!! her pics are sexy but tasteful.

as far as baby mama drama thas not always the case. i am a woman with a son and when you look at a man or woman you need to maybe approach it in the mindset that it was a relationship between two people that didn’t end up working out but resulted in a beautiful child. some people just aren’t meant for each other and sometime you don’t find that out til later. i mean anyone who can’t take my child being in existance can’t deal with me cuz i would NEVER trade my son for the love of a man.

JUDAH

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

Lmao, “How can guys have a chance?”….if that is the question that cats are asking themself about some mid-30’s whore in the entertainment industry with children, then something is terribly wrong. One has to wonder what world some of these women are living in when they think that they are a “catch”. Is female this serious? The older they are, the more demons they have on them. This chic probably has the sperm of thirty Jewish movie executives on her tonsils and the pubic hair of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stuck in between her teeth and she’s speaking like she’s a virgin? A man is supposed to help his woman up the stairs? Who is she, Ruby Dee? I don’t think she wants a man, she wants a butler and a hypeman like Mariah Carey has with Nick Cannon, smh & lol. “Date a woman with children if you are ready to ‘man up”‘, lmao? So after a so-called woman is milking her childrens’ father(s) for money, the new man should step in and play daddy for her for a piece of that worn out crotch? An article like this is unfortunate but informative because these are the things that many of these black women teach their daughters. Unfortunately, they don’t teach them how to dress, cook, speak, and keep their legs and mouths closed. If anyone forgets why the black woman has the highest rate of non-marriage, this is why.

38.

LOL

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

APPLAUSE TO JUDAH FOR HIS DISRESPECTFUL AND DEGRADING COMMENTS TOWARDS BLACK WOMEN ONCE AGAIN. I EXPECTED NOTHING LESS FROM YOU.

39.

dat chick

Monday, August 10, 2009 /

Being a single mom at one time, I think she meant when you deal witha woman with a child/children she is ready for settlement. She looking for something real not maybe in maybe out. Basically be ready to become a family man she need foundation not the two year lets get to know each other phase, and then see where we ready just man up or keep it moving

#32 SUPERWOMAN - I don’t think women with children should be taken half-naked pictures either. My mama has a nice body but I wouldn’t want to see her on magazine covers looking like that - plus my dad wouldn’t approve lol. Every guy I know would talk about it and I wouldn’t want to hear what they would have to say.

But help her up the stairs? Unless she’s wearing some high heels then I can understand - and you’d most likely need help down the stairs. I don’t expect guys I’m with to do everything for me, I don’t expect him to pay everytime we go out - I prefer paying or I help pay, or open the door for me all the time - I’d expect it sometimes but not everytime we go out. I’d hope women who want their man to do everything for them would be doing something for him in return. A lot of women want their man to do everything, then complain when he doesn’t without even doing anything for him.

I was gonna say something until I read #37.

JUDAH, that is one of the most poignant comments I’ve read pertaining to a specific thread; especially the last sentence. Pure delusion.

“One has to wonder what world some of these women are living in when they think that they are a “catch”. Is this female serious? The older they are, the more demons they have on them. This chic probably has the sperm of thirty Jewish movie executives on her tonsils and the pubic hair of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stuck in between her teeth and she’s speaking like she’s a virgin? A man is supposed to help his woman up the stairs? Who is she, Ruby Dee?”

LMAO. Say no more.

Lovely Posture

Tuesday, August 11, 2009 /

@ Judah..While I usually agree with a lot of things you say concerning the illuminati…I find a lot of statements you made very disrespectful concerning this actress. First of all, this woman left with only 700 dollars in her pocket and her son and set out to LA to make it..I don’t know if she has been lured to the casting couches but I highly doubt it considering it took her a very long time to make it..there are actresses who are noticed for just their craft…yes a lot of woman in the black culture are not raised properly but that doesn’t mean she isn’t. And also what wrong with. a woman in the her late 30’s feeling that a man is checking for her..When you are that beautiful…men check for you no matter what age..I know that their are females who have no sense and all but I don’t think she has proven she is one of them…this is her time to shine..her pics are not lewd..they are tasteful and celebrate the human body..now if she had a crocth shot..spread eagle ok..then ur comment would warrant such venom..and I don’t think she wants a hypeman..she wants a man..who is a protector that is always wacthing out for her

51.

Never

As much as i hate to say this, Judah actually speaks truth alot of times. It can be in a harsh way, but its truth. I could probably learn a thing or two from him.

This comment is to Lady Love, I dont think Taraji meant that just because a woman doesnt have kids she doesnt deserve a serious relationhip, you are reading this all WRONG! Her point is that if a man doesnt want to accept a whole package meaning a mother with a child thats not his, then he shouldnt waste her time knowing good and well thats not what he wants, he should find a chick that is childless and kick it with her.

54.

Judah you are so ignorant to talk about Black Women that way, this lady is successful and Rich and a great actress, yet you talk about her like she is the scum of the earth, its so unfortunate we have ignorant folks like you wasting good air and space you need to check yourself and talk about how screwed up your life is before you try to bring down this Beautiful Black Real Woman.

I’m glad Taraji is finally making her way in Hollywood. She doesn’t look like she’s 38 to me at all.

@Judah, I feel you. Some of what you say is the truth, but I think you generalize too much. There are quite a few young black women like me who are well-raised, well-mannered, intelligent, educated, honest, attractive, kind, and generous with no kids and little to no sexual partners yet we get passed over all the time. I refuse to settle for a man who is not worthy, but waiting for one who is can be difficult. Black men nowadays are too busy chasing tail to see the good woman staring them right in the face, and then they wonder why some women act the way that they do. Let’s keep it real and stop blaming black women for everything when everyone is responsible in some way or another.

Women, stop sleeping and having children with low-down good for nothing dudes. You knew he wasn’t ish when you met him–no job, 9 kids by 10 baby mama’s (yes i meant that on purpose) and 30 stilling living in the basement. Men nowadays are only going to do what you allow them to do because most of them lack scruples. Stop trying to be the “independent woman”, ladies, you don’t have to. It’s a mans job to take care of you, he’s a man. When you make them feel otherwise you’re only breeding someone who feels entitled and they look at you like “you have everything, what you need me for”. When push comes to shove, men need to feel wanted if you keep trying compete with them you will only emasculate him AKA fagg*tize. Another thing, I know in this day in age it’s hard for The Immoral but stop KISSING and having SE-X before he “put a ring on it”. A man will be more inclined to marry you if you do. So, in conclusion, women when you do what you’re supposed to and men still act the way they do, you can no longer be the scapegoat for underachieved irresponsible men.

Here we go ! Don`t turn this into a Judah post,this is about Taraji ,Judah is a manipulator and there is nothing profound about what he said.What he wrote was garbage and uneducated.HE HAS AN AGENDA,he wants to maniplate the attention off of Taraji and on to him.Judah will write something under the name of Judah,and then come back on and assume another name like Zulu, pretending to be another person and UNDER this fake name Zulu he will write something like this,Oh,Judah you are so profound, This is how Judah operates.Not only is he not profound but he is mentally ill.

65.

kia

Tuesday, August 11, 2009 /

This is true,Judah is a manipulator,he tries to say the most shocking and outrageous thing so that you will respond to him.That is what he wants because that takes the focus off of Taraji and puts it on him,which is what he wants.BLACK PEOPLE,Don`t ever let somebody manipulate your mind,especially someone like judah,who is about as intelligent as a monkey in a zoo.PROFOUND? PROFOUND to who a retarded person,his comment was the most uneducatd comment I saw.

66.

Revelation 22:7

Tuesday, August 11, 2009 /

Sadly, another young woman held captive to the seductions of this passing world. The whole Hollywood environment is ungodly and evil, there is nothing to praise about it. A lot of people go to Hollywood with nothing in their pockets, only a dream and determination. But what they find is that it’s an organized Babylonian empire with one goal: mass control of the masses to follow their Luciferian agenda. The people you see that are called “stars” are just a front, puppets- even victims I would say. The devil wants our souls so badly, our human minds cannot even begin to fathom the strategies and warfare going on to carry out his plan. But Jesus destroyed him on the cross, when He shed His blood for us. Satan is a defeated enemy when we are in Christ Jesus. All authority has been placed behind His mighty name. Taraji needs to be saved. She needs to stop and think about Eternity. There are only two places to go when your time is up: heaven or hell. The choice is yours… The time is Now.

“Behold I come quickly…” 22:7

WHY THE HELL DO YOU GIVE YOUR TIME & ENERGY TO COMMENT NEGATIVELY WHEN YOU COULD BE DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE WITH YOUR LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU’RE STILL GIVING THESE CELEBS, CL + THE USERS ATTENTION. SO THE ONLY PERSON WHO LOOKS STUPID IS YOURSELF.

YOU FAIL.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, TARAJI IS A BEAUTIFUL & SUCCESSFUL BLACK WOMAN & SHE DESERVES HER SUCCESS AND MUCH MORE, THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING…VERY PROUD OF HER!

If someone like Barack and Michelle Obama, who are truly educated and have real degrees from Harvard,read what Judah wrote they would say that he is the most uneducated stupid negro that they have ever seen because it looks like it was written by someome who is ignorant and FROM THE STREETS AND A EX-CONVICT WHO graduated from THUG TECH UNIVERSITY there is nothing profound about what Judah wrote.Profound means someone that has great insight and deep knowledge like Jesus.What Judah wrote,not only is it not profound but it looks like it was written by a ignorant negro from the streets who is a high school dropout.

@ Judah
Black women have the highest rate of non marriage because we don’t know how to keep our legs and mouths closed? I wish your mother had kept hers closed then you wouldn’t be here you pathetic piece of sh!t. Your father should have just ej*culated into the air. You are such a waste of sp*rm. I get so sick of negroes like you blaming everything on black women. I’m sure the non married women aren’t missing out on a damn thing if men like you are what they have to choose from nowadays. Like being married to an ignorant negro like you is such a prize to win. Give me a break. The women of other races can have you.

You must hate black females and even more, successful black females and males…stay off the post you sick lunatic. You are over read, over rated, and it takes a real person to think for themselves and end the speculation. Don’t believe everything you read folks. Decide for yourselves the truth will set you free…judah is not the truth
