Watch, learn, love. Laverne Cox Quotes On Beyoncé, contemporary R&B queen: “Beyoncé represents excellence. Her work ethic is like nobody else I’ve ever seen. There were so many moments when I was shooting Rocky Horror and I’d be exhausted. My body would be hurting and I’d be like, ‘Beyoncé. Beyoncé does this.’ You have to just put in the work.” On Tina Turner, rock & roll legend: “The pain, pleasure, and agony of all she’s been through is in her voice. Her story is the story of so many black women who’ve endured abuse and come out the other side in such a brilliant, beautiful way. ” On Tracey Africa, trailblazing mo...

Linda Thompson The Huffington Post is the exclusive outlet for a compelling blog written by Linda Thompson , former wife of Bruce Jenner . Below is part of the piece and a link to the full post. There is also a additional piece written by Cavan Sieczkowski, HuffPost's Senior Trends Editor, on Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer. By now, Bruce Jenner has revealed his struggle with gender dysphoria. I never would have dared to speak on this issue before he was comfortable enough to do so first. It is, after all, his truth, so I knew he should be afforded the dignity to reveal that truth on his own time and in the way he sees fit. I have respectfully kept his secrets private and would have taken his confidences to my grave had he not spoken out. But now, many years into his remarkable life, he has spoken out. His legacy will likely be sprinkled with references like "Olympian," "decathlon gold medalist,"...

Barry Williams In a recent HuffPost Live interview, "Brady Bunch" star Barry Williams put his foot in his mouth in a big way when he suggested he might consider "going transgender" to garner publicity for himself and his reality show. Barry Williams: "That guy [Bruce Jenner] is committed. He is committed to promoting himself. And I'm thinking, maybe, I don't know, I could say -- I'm just saying, if this thing doesn't work, and the series isn't doing as well as I want, I'm going transgender." When host Ricky Camilleri reminded him that transitioning is a "difficult emotional process," Williams continued to make light of it. Barry Williams: I'm an actor, I can handle it." Hey, all joking aside, Barry is a great father and a nice guy. Can't the Huffington Post take a joke? Photo By: RD/Kabik/Retna
