in Seattle could help noticing Kris Wittenberg in her Be Good to People tee. Everyone stopped to ask where they could get one. Turns out Kris designed the shirt after somebody was rude to her.

in Lee Daniels and Danny Strong's juicy Fox series, Empire. Luscious Lyon (Terrence Howard) must choose one of his three sons to succeed him in the music business he built all by himself.
