Demi Moore hit a sky-high party for the upcoming season of Fox’s “Empire” at One World Trade Observatory on Saturday night with her daughter and co-star Rumer Willis as her date.
Moore hinted to Page Six about her role on the new season after she joined the show, which is co-executive produced by Brian Grazer and Danny Strong, last year as a mysterious nurse caring for Terrence Howard’s record mogul character Lucious Lyon, who was nearly bumped off in a murder plot.
“There will be some times where me and Cookie clash,” Moore told us, referring to Taraji P. Henson’s fan-favorite character who is Lyon’s ex-wife. “But I am here to help Lucious’ recovery.”
When we asked whether fans can expect any romance with Howard’s character, Moore coyly told us, “You just have to wait and see” (uh-huh).
Howard and Henson were at the party with Taye Diggs, Gabourey Sidibe, Jussie Smollett, Misty Copeland and co-creator Lee Daniels.
Sidibe and co-star Ta’Rhonda Jones danced so hard, they shed their stilettos and left the bash barefoot. The event also toasted Daniels’ other returning series, “Star.”
Quincy Brown — son of Sean Combs and a star on the show — told us he doesn’t owe his acting career to his famous father. “I have always taken the normal route,” he said. “I have never been that ‘celebrity kid.’”
While he admitted, “That’s how the public sees it,” he stays grounded by “staying focused on my craft. I have mastered it to where people respect it coming from me and not who my family is. Everything I do comes from me. I am who I am by default, but I don’t let that be a defining factor for me.”
