Slow news day people, so here is a little afternoon throwback swirl of Mr. McChocolatey himself–Taye Diggs and wife Idina Menzel that one of our readers sent in a couple of days ago.

*Thanks Sydney

  • kelis

    he is looking mad rough and why is he dressed like that????

  • Butterfly

    I kinda feel bad for her cause she’s been with him for 12+ years and he has allegedly been dogging her out over the years. They obviously have a LOT of history and she is still holding on.

    Sidebar: Can’t get over the Mr. Clean earring Taye’s rocking. He screams CORNY to me.

  • FOXYCLEOPATRA

    OK, I LOOKED AGAIN AND I CAN CONCLUDE THAT TAYE DIGGS IS DEFINITELY A SHORT MAN!!!!

  • yes

    who woulda thought he was so corny after watching how stella got her groove back? thats gon be the highlight of his career

  • hey

    wooah! they both have definitely improved their looks, especially Mrs. Taye. he def threw some D’s on that..and a tan, some lypo, stylist, makeup artist, and the list goes on.

  • Moreaces

    Did they take that picture in a dark back ally somewhere.

  • Tam

  • elle

    EVERYONE PLEASE IGNORE JUST WATCHIN!

    ——————

    i agree w/ Creole Princess and Tam. IGNORE JUST WATCHIN’.

    let’s not turn this into a million comment post arguing foolishly about interracial relationships.

  • MissOMyGoodnezz

    Why does she look like she’s going hunting ?

    HIS UNCLE TOM, SELFHATING AZZ. CAN’T STAND THIS PUNK.

  • Blah

    This is an old school photo..damn give them a break!A lot of people were dressing crazy in the 80′s to early 90′s.

  • Orphan Annie

    McChocolatey for life!

  • SLIM ONE

    A Damn mess. Them socks are jacked.

  • ko

    LMAO @ this pic. He got that Kazaam earring on lookin like a broke ass mr. clean. This gotta be like early 90s. She got on Doc martens and he got on some tight ass high water jeans like he walkin in flood or somethin. hilarious!!!

  • earl

    He’s got that purple-black thing down!

  • nahnah

    guys – this is a very old picture, probably in the early 90′s , so don’t expect her to dress like she’s in 2007. regardless, its’funny how this girl is being dogged by the same exact women who would go on garcelle beauvais’thread and congradulate her for marrying a man who ‘treats her well’.

    mr. diggs may be an asshole, but she hasn’t done anything or said anything to be hated so much. maybe she really loves him? have you ever thought of those possibilities?

    WILL THE REAL SALT N PEPA PLEASE STAND AND…

    *peaks head in door*

    “chickenheads”

  • colocha

    WOW… How old is this pict? Doc. Martens?

  • mzc2u

    Taye looks borderline homo to me, he never was all that only in Stella. I really don’t give a dam about him being married to a white girl.

  • binary star

    JUST WATCHING…..ITS SPELLED..”PEEKS” AS IN “TIGGA PEEKS HEAD IN DOOR, AND SPOTS AN ILLITERATE JUST WATCHING”

  • http://www.blackwiz.biz Tiray

    Ahhh. Taye! TAYE! What in hell did Taye do to piss black women off anyway?

    This young kat ,has his girl, works contiously in hollywood( WHEN ALL SAID HE WOULDN’T), lives in Malibu.etc. Ok, i can see that he’s hated. HE LIVES LIFE….ABUNDANTLY.

    ( i guess, i’ll have a responder saying howit’s not about interracial marriages. he’s corny etc.

    Think about this. VENTING ON A GOSSIP BLOG ISN’T GOING TO MAKE TAYE FEEL ANYTHING!!)

    OH WELL…in the midst of love, their will be hater’s. That’s par for the course!

    YAWN…..YAWN YAWN YAWN

  • BlueDriver

    Tiray– in some interview, I not sure which mag, but i think it was Essence, he pretty much blamed black women for his failed shows. He believes we should have supported his shows by watching it. So he pissed of some black women for those comments since it really isn’t our jobs to support him.

    I won’t watch a show if I don’t find it interesting (I only watch one show consistently anyway.)

    His wife looks pregnant in that pic. Is this old because I remember her looking a lot smaller. As long as they are happy, that is all that matters.

  • Anonymous3

    @ Just Watchin

    you don’t have to be a chicken head to express an opinion….I personally don’t like interracial realtionships…I am not afraid NOT to be P.C. and I am definitely not a chicken head or an angry Black Woman…stop putting people in a box…

  • Caryn

    Taye never blamed women for his failed shows. I love how no one really read the interview, but just jumped on the “Taye hates Black Women” bandwagon because they they dislike him. The interviewer is the one who made all the comments. All Taye said was that if his costar wasn’t white, African American women wouldn’t have been as upset and if they dislike the fact he is with his wife, then they should go find someone else to watch on the screen. I can’t say I disagree with him at all.

    Anyways. This picture is from 1995/1996 when they were doing RENT together on Broadway. Age has done them both well. Too bad he is apparently stepping out on her. No one deserves that. Then again if he is and she knows, why does she stay? It isn’t like she needs his money or anything. I guess it is the fact they have been together 10+ years that makes it hard.

  • HI-SIDE

    Man she’s gonna age bad…

    They always do that’s why I stick wit tha Sistas.

  • http://www.blackwiz.biz Tiray

    @blueDriver!

    Oh! So Taye is known for playing the ‘blame-game’

    hahahha—hence the ” black rath “.

    Question:

    1. Did Taye,(in his show) date black women?

    2. Were black women mad because of it?

    I can kinda see the alienation, if he didn’t have a black co-star!

    Sometimes hollywood has a concept that they want to portray.Maybe Taye had apart in it. Maybe not!

    isn’t it time to let go?

  • idontthinkso

    @HI-SIDE

    thats right, that way, she’ll only gain 50 extra pounds over the next thirty years, act like she dont know what a blow job is, and then when you ask about one throw some hot grease on you scar you for life and nobody will want your mangled behind and you have to stay.

  • Anonymous3

    @ idontthinkso…

    Wow who have you been dating or are married to….

  • HF

  • off topic…

    Oldschool picture! That was back in the RENT days.

  • HotCinnamonSwirl

    He looks suprised and scared like the Klan is waiting for his Black ass around the corner!

  • mushyinfectedyellowpus

    I have one thing to say..sure it’s nice now to spot the white candy on your arms but man when they get old……..when them wrinkles start settling in on they bodies and the hair start looking nappy, and u start spotting the see-through blood veins????????????

    i think i have said enough……but i’ll be back….sistas don’t be mad, get glad.lol…lol..

  • yea i said it

    EWWWWWWWWWW 2 BOTH OF THEM!!!!!

  • Morgan

    ^^^yep. sounds like a little pink micro-peen YT.

  • dark cable

    She looks kinda hot. (sarcasm) What the hell happened to her? Isn’t she a model or something? She looks like she’s about 50 pounds heavier than other pics of her. He looks like a Black Sambo!

  • off topic…

    She isn’t a model. She is a Tony Award winning Broadway Actress. And this picture is like 12 years old. I am sure Seal and Heidi looked a hot mess 12 years go as well. Who didn’t in the early 90s?

  • mnms

    hey, for those that say they’ll look ugly when they age, look at this picture. I definately think they’ve gotten more gorgeous with age.

  • Msbioed

    It’s enough that you already know attention is gonna be upon you for your choice of women (like it or not) so dont be out here with pics like this looking crazy, dirty, and broke as hell. This picture should be burned on the real….fuggin disgusting!

  • http://www.myspace.com/summersbazaar Me

    Y’all are mean. He is probably with her because black women told him he was too dark. A lot of black women need to check their attitudes and negativity, that’s why most of y’all are alone. I love black mean and I know how to treat them and make them feel good about themselves. BTW, I am black. The brother is doing something positive, so STFU B*TCHES!

  • http://www.myspace.com/sashambrosia sasha

    IS she pregnant in that pic

  • Caryn

    Me -

    I doubt he is with Idina because other woman didn’t want him due to his skin color. I would guess because Taye was in musical theatre singing and dancing his ass off during the time that people like Tupac and Biggie were at the height of their careers…people probably thought he was gay or “corny”. So he dated people who understood his passion and Idina just so happened to be white. They were orginating a musical together which meant they were together long ass hours over the course of 2 years. A lot can happen in 2 years.

    ——

    I think Idina is very pretty. I met her outside of “The Wild Party” and “Wicked” and she is a lovely human being. She has quite the fan following in NYC, always a TON of people trying to take her picture or get an autograph. It is a shame people rag on her without even trying to know her.

  • http://whoseamerica.blogspot.com/ daria

    Wow. His wife was kinda to up before. Must have been real love.

  • Lisa

    I’m a white woman and I don’t like whites with niggers either!
