From actress to director!
“Empire” star Gabourey Sidibe is hopping in the director seat for a brand new project. The 33-year-old actress will make her directorial debut for a short film titled A Tale of Four Women in collaboration with Refinery 29.
Gabby is among a dozen female filmmakers who will explore the dynamics of power via the short-form ShatterBox Anthology, which will begin running on the Refinery29 website that’s expected to launch this summer. There aren’t many details about the project, but Gabby has been sharing photos from behind-the-scenes:

Congrats to Gabby!
For another behind-the-scenes look...
Miss USA 2016 Deshauna Barber is working her magic for famed fashion photographer Nigel Barker, who once was a judge on “America’s Next Top Model.”
By the way, Nigel was also a judge for the 2016 Miss USA pageant.
In a few behind-the-scenes flicks, the 26-year-old logistics commander served her best “smize” while posing it up on the streets of New York City today. And chick looks like she know exactly what she's doing.
Feeling honored to work with such a legend. @NigelBarker thank you for an incredible shoot day! -DB pic.twitter.com/TdWCe4OX04
