With a deal that Lucious Lyon's would drool over, the online and growing streaming service HULU just snapped rights to the top rated Empire series.
Via Variety:
The deal makes Hulu Plus the exclusive SVOD home to “Empire,” which follows the tumultuous events of a family dynasty in the music biz. Under the multiyear pact, all future episodes of “Empire” will be available on Hulu Plus one day after broadcast on Fox.
The five most recent episodes of “Empire” have been available for free on Hulu.com, but those will roll off in the next few weeks, and the full season will be exclusively available on the $7.99-per-month Hulu Plus service.
Great Move!!!

Academy Award winning actress/comedian Monique is set to sit down with Roland Martin for a revealing and insightful interview for TV One's NewsOne Now.
Via TV One: Monique will speak on rumors of her being difficult, family and much more. Check out an excerpt:
On wage inequality in Hollywood:
“When you hear our sisters Patricia Arquette and Gwyneth Paltrow, who our are White sisters in this business, and they’re saying we want wage equality, we want to be treated equal, well if they’re saying it, what do you think we’re (actresses of color) getting?”
On reputation of being demanding:
“When I watch Mr. Daniels make statements like I was demanding, and I was difficult, Mr. Daniels knows that is not true because he and I have never had an issue at all. If I were that person, why ever would you offer me the role of ‘Gloria’ in The Butler, why ever would you offer me the role of ‘Cookie’ inEmpire?”
On the personal toll endured by pursing fame:
“This is my third marriage. (With) the first two marriages, I was chasing (fame) and really didn’t understand what it is to be a wife… Now that my son is 25, we have a very strained relationship because during that time when he was a little boy I was out chasing, so my prayer was ‘please give me another chance’.”
