Taraji P. Henson has an Oscar nomination under her belt, but she says she's still treated like a D-list actress. "I'm treated like I'm on the D-list," she says on her cover story for the latest issue of Ebony magazine. "I'm still being considered with actresses who haven't done half the stuff I've achieved."

But the rejections only fuel her spirits to do more. "When people tell me 'no,' I get hyped. Because when I prove that I can and will, I love watching people eat crow," explains "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" actress.

And she's not modest when it comes to her celebrity status, saying that she uses it "to get my fat ass into a restaurant. If someone tells me there's a wait, I'll walk right to the front of the line like, 'I need a table now. I need to eat, and I want this. So let's work this out.' "
