NEW EMPIRE TRAILER SHOWS A TEENAGE LUCIOUS & COOKIE

Empire is about to show viewers how its royal couple, Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), first met. As shown in this trailer, season 3 of the Fox hit will flash back to show the pair as teenagers and the beginnings of their epic, on-again, off-again romance.

In the clip, Cookie tells Lucious, “When I first saw you rap, it changed my life.” Viewers then get to see their first glimpse of teenage Lucious (Jeremy Carver) and Cookie (Ajiona Alexus).

Also heavily teased is the arrival of Lucious’ half-brother Tariq (Morocco Omari), who was introduced in the season 2 finale and seems hell-bent on bringing down the Lyon patriarch in season 3.

Empire premieres Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.

HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P.

The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

OFF THE MARKET...RAY J. MARRIES PRINCESS LOVE!

True Love and hip hop! Congrats are in order for Ray J and Princess Love. The couple, who chronicled their romance on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood,” had a fairytale wedding ceremony on Friday night at Vibiana in Los Angeles.

“I just want her to have the time of her life and remember it as the best day in the world,” Ray J told PEOPLE before the wedding. “Even when I wasn’t with her, I told my friends ‘She the one, she the one.’ It was just something about how I felt when she was around me.”

Princess had similar feelings. “He’s the only person I’ve ever been with that I couldn’t see myself without,” she added.

Love wore a Lazaro ball gown, while Ray J donned a dapper black tux with a white shirt and white bow tie. The royal couple also added luxurious details to their fits with Love wearing a tiara and Ray J sporting gold.

Of course, Hollywood stars were also part of the celebration. The Game was one of Ray J’s nine groomsmen and Brandy was a bridesmaid. Ray J’s older sister sang “At Last” for the couple’s first dance and Anthony Hamilton serenaded them with “The Point of It All” during the ceremony, which was attended by 150 guests including Ray J’s “Love & Hip Hop” co-star Safaree Samuels.
