Actress Taraji P. Henson had a little chat session with Chelsea Handler on her E! night show Chelsea Lately. The 40 year-old bombshell is currently playing in the Lifetime television movie, Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story, where she plays Tiffany Rubin, a strong and determined mother who fights to get her son back after he’d been abducted and taken out of the country by her ex-boyfriend. The single mother of one shared a bit about what she looks for in a man:
“I like tall. You don’t have to be so tall, but taller than me in these shoes [points at heels]. I just like to feel protected. I just some big old arms to crawl into, but you have to have a brain. And when I say man, I mean, there are men who are disguised as men, but they’re really little boys. They’re not developed yet. So when I say man, I don’t mean, you just come with your male member. [laughs] I just want a good guy who just makes me laugh.”
The lovely Taraji recently shot an ad for the animal rights organization, PETA in an effort to take a stand against wearing animal fur. Check out the hot ad below and peep the video, too.
Looking great, Taraji! Can I look like you when I’m 40? Werk.
Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story premieres on Monday, January 31 at 9pm EST on the Lifetime channel.
Her ad for PETA is hotttttttttttttttt…..Im sure its photo- shopped to death, but none the less still hot. But Taraji gives me that she has eaten a deer or two in her day, so is PETA main issue the killing animals for fur? I mean does leather count? does food count?
No, PETA has more than one campaign, and one of them is the “No Fur” campaign. The company is an animal rights company so this includes diet (no meat, dairy products, eggs, honey, or other animal products), personal-care items (not tested on animals and containing no animal ingredients), and clothing (no leather, silk, down, wool, or other animal-derived items). It just so happens that I am looking to intern for PETA and because of this (looking into becoming a vegetarian…although they would like for you to move into a more advanced eating habit – Vegan).
*oops, cut myself off* ,however, the company does not force you to be vegetarian/vegan (which is how so many celebs are doing these photoshoots who may not be vegetarian/vegan) but you cant eat or use animal by-products on the company’s premises. Basically, using celebs is how they are promoting the campaign
ok…i gotcha. Thanks for the insight
I’d like to see what she looked like before they passed that airbrush all over her body…hair & wrinkles & dark spots all over the place… ?
DARKSKIN GIRLS ARE JEALOUS OF LIGHTSKIN GIRLS.. THATS WHY THEY PIC FIGHTS WITH THEM FOR NO REASON… PLUS LIGHTSKIN GIRLS CAN GET JOBS EASY… THE GOOD THING ABOUT LIGHTSKIN GIRLS.. IS THAT U CAN HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WIT A LIGHTSKIN CHICK… BECAUSE WE ALL KNO LIGHTSKIN GIRLS ARE CLEAN… YO FELLAS IF YOU MEET A LIGHTSKIN FEMALE WIT GOOD HAIR & PRETTY SKIN AND A I-PHONE …. THEN U CAN HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WIT HER…. WE ALL KNO SHE DONT HAVE HIV…. FACEBOOK/SCOTTIE MINOR

Yeah…you are a friggin idiot for saying something like that. I REALLY hope that u were not serious…
u forgot ur literal *screaming for attention* scottie boy
ANYWAYS…outside of ignorant comments. Ms. Henson is HOT none the less – possibly even, with or without touch ups.
Black is BEAUTIFUL no matter what shade its in.
IKR, I AGREE! IM CHOCOLATE AND AINT NEVA HATED ON A YELLA… ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS LOL WTDAFK!!
SCOTT 600 YOU SOUND STUPID……TARAJI YOU LOOK GOOD GRL! LOOK LIKE ME NAKED LOL
did I really just read that comment?? for cereal light skin vs dark skin?? yeah Imma just keep it brown N E WAYZ photoshop or not Taraji looks damn good at forty we all know she has the famous black girl stretch marks on her hips WE ALL GOT EM! lol
She’s nothing but a GHETTO, GHETTO, GHETTO hotmess! She’s ugly and so is her body. They airbrushed the hell outta her and PETA are nothing but perverts! How dare you have such a degrading ad? Oh it’s for a so called “cause” so it’s okay right? There are many clothes that aren’t made from animals so why don’t you have your spokes models dress in those?
I’m noticing less and less comments on this pathetic website
Sooooo, uuuuum, what ur telling us is ur not the same Vito from above right??? Ur comment didnt go unnoticed and it was on the top shelf in the closet of ignorance…Really? *valley girl voice*
Forget about looking like that when I’m 40, can i look like that NOW!!!!!!!!
Did a bunch of you take huge bite out of the same ignoramus sandwich? Really haven’t we evolved past these petty nonsensical exchanges? Light vs Dark the only people that perpetuate these stereotypes are black people; we can blame the “whiteman” for only so long. To the dude that started this thread about light skinned chicks and dark skinned chicks I hope you don’t pass on this ignorance as truth.
@”In Love With Latoy’s Luckett”, You sound really hatefull, not all women have wrinkles and dark spots all over thier skin, hoeny just because you may have them and feel salty about it, doesn’t mean you have to send the hate to her, she has money and i’m sure pratices good skincare, facials, and all of that, and to the people responding to “scott600″ LOL why waste your time, you know he or she only wanted a get a rise outta yall, the issue will only end when people stop giving it attention
Regarding the picture and my girl Taraji… Damn… I even caught the movie -I can be bad all by myself and was pleasantly surprised at the entertainment value. So keep doing your thang. You have fans out there…Regarding some of the comments… (head shake) … many have so much further to grow. I am hoping its sooner rather than later for those folks.
@Scott: you are hella ignorant.
I LOVE Taraji and her personality. She seems very humble. Chelsea is on her TOO much lol grabbing her ass and loving the picture. I like her show tho.
I’m a vegan and I can’t stand PETA. Just like McDonald’s, people are starting to understand how horrible they are and now are trying to market to the black community. correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure she eats meat and wears fur, so why use someone like her to promote whatever it is they promote. PETA is not for animals rights, no matter what they CLAIM. If they are about animals rights they should fund centers that care for animals or animal shelters, or promote HEALTHY eating, not condemn people for eating meat. These naked ads are easy on the eyes and do nothing to promote animals rights.
