Coupled Up
Posted by Bossip Staff
Denzel Washington, wife Pauletta, and her pillow purse attended the American Gangster premiere in Hollyweird last night. Denzel is definitely getting chastised for rockin the Blood Diamond Russ white sneaker look. Them thangs ain’t even crispy at all…he could’ve at least threw on a fresh pair.

Dang I love Denzel hey Boo you looking good!
They look great!
Denzel, come on!!
Zoot Suits went out in the 50s lol
for all you kiddies out there, old G’s would wear that.
Nicey look like she got on that Baby Phat dress hanging in my closet. lol
Paula looks great, love that Prada handbag she sportin
oh and Michelle Williams?
idk who lied to you, but rail thin ain’t cute. eat some beef
beef…its whats for dinner
Denzel lookin fine from the neck up. He need to throw that fit and jacket in the garbage. Paula look nice, hate the purse.
LOL @ Setting the Record Straight
They look nice……
I’m not feelin Denzy’s get-up!
Ms. Williams is wayyy too skinny. Her arms are puny!!!
Damon is aging in a bad way. Me no like!
Poor Michelle. She has a few dollars, connections and could probably get a man or a life if she didn’t have that low self esteem crown sitting on her head. Why is she trying to put on a Kerry
Washington pose?
HEY MICHELLE…DO YOU!
Denzel is my man and all…I love him to death, but he looks very tired in this picture….That suit looks like PJ’s….
Didn’t get a close up of Michell till now…Boo, your face is like 10x’s darker than your body!!!! Like someone took your head and put on someone elses body!!! WTF?????
Denzel is makin that soul glo!!! And that coat is straight out of the Matrix. But he is *****ing brilliant in American Gangster (oops saw tha bootleg but will pay to see this ***** in theaters). Dude is no joke in this film. Please beleive it, denzel is about to collect another Oscar for this role. Russell Crowe is great too.
is great as well.
Michelle needs to smile. She is a beautiful young lady, and a smile of self love would go a long way. My daddy told me if you do your mouth like Michelle is doing hers your face gets stuck.
Denzel and Pauletta look great, but the white shoes with ‘Zel’s outfit, those bangels, and that horrendous green handbag have got to go.
I’m mad at what Denzel is wearing.
I’m mad at his wife’s pillow purse.
I’m mad that Damon Waynes looks like the crack head he used to play on In Living Color on the picture.
Also mad that Henry Simmons is prettier than me.
Bossip-
raise up off of Denzel.. I don’t care WTF he wearin’… He could rock a potato sack for all I care.. He is the epitome of finesse, swagger and sexiness. If you ain’t got that, i don’t care what you wear, it aint gonna mean *****.. You’ve been warned.. LOL..
I love me some Niecy…big gurls rule!!
Denzel needs a facial scrub..his jaws are starting to look droopy
Michelle looks like like a boney mess
Is Michelle slip showing LOL Denzel got to love him
I think that I would look alot better on his arm.
Yes I my love for Denzel has made me hate on Paula.
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE…THAT IS ALL
Poor Denzel, i hope that he doesnt think that his movie will be a top seller because every fool in the hood has bootlegged the hell out of “American Gangster”! Whoever leaked that movie was from the top because it is a clear-clean version of it.
504… where do i park
WTF Denzel? You’ve come too far to fall off now!
why are you wearing them dusty rusty hushpuppies?
And why THAT Coat?! Look at your wife she looks nice how in the world did she let you come out looking drunk!!!
Denzel looks like he doesn’t want to be there.
He looks like a damn fool.
http://www.theblackactor.com/
THAT MOVIE IS SO GOOD, I AM GOIN TO SEE IT THIS WEEKEND AGAIN JUST TO GIVE MY SUPPORT TO THIS MAN AND ALL HIS WORK. I SAW THE BOOTLEG BECAUSE I WAS IMPATIENT BUT I WILL SEE IT IN THE THEATER. YUM MOVIE POPCORN. ANYWAYS, GO GO GO SEE THAT MOVIE. DENZEL KILLS IT. AND THAT FRANK LUCAS, YOU KNOW THOSE FEDS WERE MAD BECAUSE HIS ***** WAS BLACK!!!
@ Mississippi Girl
I hear alot of folks talking abt how clear the copies are.Wendy Williams had folks calling in yesterday saying the same thing so this must have been leaked from the very top as you suggested!
DENZEL LOOK LIKE HE DIDN’T WANT TO BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE….
HE’D RATHER SHOW UP IN A PAIR OF HOUSE SLIPPERS AND A NEWS PAPER.
Denzel loves black women!!!!
WHY DID SOMEBODY ALREADY GIVE ME A CRITIQUE OF THE MOVIE ALREADY?????? DON’T DO THE BOOTLEGS ON DENZEL PEEPS…AND WHEN YOU BUY YOUR TICKET, MAKE SURE IT SAYS “AMERICAN GANGSTER” AND NOT SAW 15….
I am one of the only black people that hasn’t seen the Bootleg yet so I will go see it this weekend if I don’t have to work.
I don’t like their careless attire, but I love the couple. I love REAL black love. It ain’t perfect but it’s REAL and I hope it lasts forever for them.
Otherwise, besides Michelle lookin’ like she used a WHOLE can of oilsheen and her tacky slip slip, everyone looks good. I truely believe Michelle is just one of those NATURALLY skinny women like a couple of my cousins who can sit there with a fork and a WHOLE sweet potatoe pie, eat it all and NEVER be bigger than a size 1. They wana be thick SO BAD but I just tell them to be the best them they can be. Everyone doesn’t have to look the same in order to be excepted?! What a BORING and colorless world this would be.
WOW>..SHE LOOKS A MESS.. I THOUGHT THAT WAS SISTER PATTERSON 4 A MIN!!
Umm they both look a hot mess. SMDH!
Where are all the people who were actually IN THE MOVIE?
Them sneakers are not crisp at all; i love Denzel but he has too much money to be at the premier with MA 100 on his feet.
I been loving Denzel since Solider Story, and i still do but them sneakers was a NO NO.
First, I agree, the purse has got to go. Second, Denzel looks miserable and I believe it ain’t got nothing to do with not wanting to be there or having choosen this fit. I feel the brotha. Go out there and get some nice Tang Denzel. Paula needs to be retired.
DENZEL’S WIFE LOOK LIKE SISTER PATTERSON EWW!!!
Just curious. Does Henry Simmons have a wife or girlfriend? If he does, he needs to dump her for letting him wear those ill fitting jeans. He is a good looking man who should have been dressed better than that. There is something wrong with the hem on the bottom. Cuff them over Henry, nto under.
For Real KK.
Looks like a very casual red carpet. Like Niecy’s fit. Reppin’ for the curvy sistahs. Love it.
luv denzel saw the movie at my friends house but i will see it again in the cinema. denzel did a great job playing frank lucas he kind of scared me in some parts of the movie.
Denzel does not love his wife.
Why does he never, ever look happy in pictures with his wife? Hmm….
I’m sorry I’m all for black love but this couple does not look happy nor content on this day. Pauletta is lookin waaay tired and Denzel is too..of her.
Stop hating on michelle she looks good…Go Michelle
Denel looks so BORED with his wife these days. He does not look like he likes being with her anymore. Denzel has been looking a little shabby these days. He doesn’t seem to care much. I think he’s at a crossroad where he is ready to kick his wife to the curb but it’s just too hard. He just looks unhappy
This is the most youthful I’ve seen Pauletta Washington look, ever. She could really use a sylist though.
Does anyone remember the scene in Malcolm X where Denzel made his white girlfriend kiss his foot? That was one UGLY foot. I wonder if that’s why he wears tennis shoes so much now, because his bunions are actin’ up
.
The outfit – What the damn?
He looks super tired.
Yeah, of her.
H.A.M
it’s probably a lot of w*****s trying to get at denzel. only talk about his looks and body but not the man and or character. Some of these women are dumb jokes that is why they are alone now. Close ya legs and open your mind!!!!!!!!!!
go see the movie at a ablack movie theater so the movie can get all of its sales. The man is a worse thief than the black man will ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pauletta is an incredibly intelligent, p*****ionate and well spoken woman.
They are such a power couple.
They give a lot to charity like Brangelina and get no exposure for it. I’m sure they’re glad of that, too.!
*let’s all go to the movies…*
What?
@ Kevin
Maybe Denzel is tired because as a veteran A-list actor, he has attended a gazillion premieres. Is that too far-fetched?
Looking at Denzel and his wife reminds me of mj and jaunita. Mike always looked so unhappy with Jaunita. I am glad they ended their marriage. What is the point in staying together and being mesirable?
Sydney, please! Denzel should retire that penny piece and leave her at home from now on. Watch, the next time we see Denzel, sans the wife, he will have the biggest smile on his face. Why, because he will be out there getting his.
@ Kevin
And I guess Denzel, who is a father of four, stepping out would be a good thing? Could you please share the crack you’re smoking?
Please don’t project your own unhappiness onto Mr. Washington.
he looks a little underdressed next to pauletta but hey…when you are Denzel…you can do stuff like that.
LOVE HIM!!
:::::::::::EVERYONE CHECK OUT BIBLE EXPERIENCE, PAULETTA AND DENZEL WERE EXTREMEMLY ACTIVE IN THIS AND IT TURNED OUT GREAT!!!!::::::::::::::::::::::
P.S. American gangster is off the chain…..you will all LOVE this movie!!!
Sydney please!
@ Kevin
LOL, please what, Kevin? You seem awfully concerned with Denzel’s happiness with Pauletta. The man is a 52-year-old Oscar winner, and I’m sure he can hold his own.
Wouldn’t you agree?
I won’t even address your “penny piece” comment. Not understanding. . .
Please get a clue. I’m not in the least bit concerned with Denzel’s happiness. What I am concerned about is a man who apparently worth millions of dollars and makes great films and is looking like that. He should be happy and he doesn’t look that way.
@ Kevin
I don’t think it’s rational to decide if Denzel is or is not happy based on one photo from a premiere. And if he is unhappy, I’m sure he is aware of his options, as is she. If you’re that concerned, which seems a tad odd to me, you can always write him a letter of support.
OMG!!!!
I saw the movie last night and all I can say is Denzel did an outstanding job! Everyone knows that these Gangsta movies are not exactly how it went down but–from what I knew as a little girl and what we were told in the family, he played as close to the “character” as it could’ve been!
Good job, Denzel!
As a member of the Barnes family–I was impressed!
Denzel can do no wrong. He is far too fine… but on second thought… dump the shoes! LMAO! Now on another note I LOVE Paulette’s jacket, but I’m certainly not feeling the purse action. And why does Denzel NEVER look happy when he’s in pics w/his wife? Probably wishing he was there with me!! LMAO!!!
Sydney, I was only responding to what others were seeing in the photo and I just happen to agree. Now as far as your comment about it appears a td bit odd that I care about Denzel’s happiness, have you not read the other comments by others? They see it too. I just hope that as a brotha, he is a happy man.
Yes, Kevin, I read the others’ comments, but you seem to have an axe to grind with Pauletta, whom you unnecessarily insulted. That’s all. Calling her a “penny piece” doesn’t help matters any. She is, after all, his long-time wife and mother of his children. I believe that Denzel himself would have more cl***** and respect than to make such a remark.
I think all Denzel needs for us to worry about is seeing his movies.
I thought you didn’t understand the penny piece comment.
You said, “I won’t even address your “penny piece” comment. Not understanding. . .”
What, you suddenly have clarity on the meaning!
For the record, I have nothing against Pauletta. I’m sure she’s a fine woman and does a great job with her family.
Again, I was only responding to the expression on Denzel’s face and making light of what the expression could mean.
I think Denxel’s look may be misinterpretted.. IMO–I don’t see him as looking unhappy. That might be his game face but, I’ve had the opportunity (YES!!!!!) to see him on several occasions (one at the dedication of the Boys and Girls club in Mount Vernon) and he seems to be a very laid back kind of person. He looks like he thinks before he speaks as opposed to blurting things out just for the benefit of an interview. Unhappy–only he and his wife knows.
I wish him well and continued success!
*Denzel’s
By “not understanding,” I meant that I failed to grasp why you would use such a term. I think I finally get that you were “joking,” but I don’t get the humor.
I guess I’m just too dumb.
You have a good evening. Carry on with your meanness.
No problem Sydney. Glad we came to an understanding. If was fun though.
He & his wife have been together almost 25 yrs. All of their kids & close to grown up now so Denzel is looking to feed his appetite somewhere else. Maybe they need to take a page for Will/Jada & spice up their marriage w/some swinging.
@ Kevin
I wouldn’t call it “fun,” but I do appreciate that you didn’t use any profanity nor call me a “*****” or a “ho,” as is the Bossip custom. That is a plus
she looks like sister patterson…
Hey Sydney girl I just came back from dinner and had to know if you just had to get the last word and yep like Sydney style. Hey thanks for the appreciation. There was no reason to call you names. You didn’t call me one. And it is fun that’s why we are all on here doing this. If you want to know about name calling on Bossip, go to the Kim Kardashian Bossip blog and yes I’m there hanging with another person Marquis de Sade and we get ripped to streads by the angry females. We just like the way Kim Kardasian looks and made comments about it. So, again, it is just all in fun and good times at a celebrity’s expense of course.
Like her teeth. nice
@ Kevin
Yes, I did read part of the Kim K. thread and I stopped. It was brutal and the name-calling was relentless. Not my cup of tea.
Yeah, brutal ain’t the word. Man, I was just trying to hold mine. What’s a trip is Marquis de Sade and myself never once called anyone a name and all of a sudden, the claws were a comin and like i said they were attempting to shread us apart. Marquis de Sade, I must admit, held it down though and I appreciated his comebacks. They were cl*****ic.
Well, Kevin, I’m glad I missed out on all the fun. After reading his “vagina juice” comment, I nearly lost my lunch. Whatever happened to the art of peaceful debate? Do we have to berate each other so?
Oh wait, I am on a gossip site, aren’t I?
Denzel doesn’t looked to geeked in this shot. That purse looks like a throw pillow for my dog.
damon wayans still looks sexy, even with the grey beard! can we say “JUST FOR MEN” ???
Just looked at the other pics, and I have to say…if Michelle gained about 10 lbs it would do her some REAL good. She looks like a bone w/hair. Cute dress though… lol
ok, i have to say this, when i first looked at the pic I thought “what are denzel and sista patterson doing together? how did new york’s mom pull denzel?” LOL!! In this pic, she looks like new york’s mom, sista patterson!
I see a Rep from the “Reno Sherriff’s Dept.” made the event. Where was Lt. Dangel? I would have loved to see him there in his lil shorts! LOL!!
Who deflated Henry Simmons? Dude used to be thicker than that. Protein is your friend.
Denzel is one of the few ’sure thing’ actors at the box office…he can wear whatever he wants.
OH *****…LOOK!
IT’S A BLACK COUPLE!
>:O
I might be reaching but, MAYBE he was mugging the camera like that because he was paying homage to the “real-life character” he portrayed….hence the white sneaks w/ all black. He usually doesn’t dress like that on the red carpet.
The movie is good, btw.
Heroin is wack!!!!!
Worse than crack.
@ Godwell
Ain’t that the truth. I was kinda on Denzel yesterday for looking so miserable in the photo with his wife who looks old fashion compared to Denzel.
I got a little heat for my comments yesterday by Sydney but all is good now.
Oh, you know what there is another black couple, Chris Rock and his wife. At least married couples.
Wait, isn’t Snoop Dogg and his wife still married?
@ Kevin
All the couples you mentioned appear unhappy. You don’t have to know them personally to see it, just compare the pics with spouses to the pics w/o. The reason for the look, who knows, but it is definitely there.
Chris almost reacted to his “look” with a divorce. Snoop also attempted to separate, but decided eventually against it. Denzel has been rumored to have had many affairs, none of which escaped Pauletta, I’m sure. Starting to wonder if these “faithful” wives are having affairs of their own. Calling Shaunie….
@ Ohnoudient
See, that is what I’m saying. Yesterday, I was simply pointing out how unhappy Denzel appeared and I attributed to his wife and her appearance.
See, if you look at all these females with these male stars, celebs, athletes, whatever, the men look miserable as f**k.
With Snoop, a divorce will cost him a few albums profits. The n**ga figured he’d stay in the same house, but sleep in another run and continue to play with females that don’t look like his wife.
Females please remember, yo dude liked you when you looked hot, then you got lazy and was not.
So stop fussin about beautiful females and what they got.
Get yourself together spiritually, financially and psychologically, and you will not trip off dude.
If I were anyone of these females, I would take the money, run to the hills, buy a nice spot and start f**kin the young n**ga’s with some energy.
@ Kevin
Happy Halloween! Yup, all is well, LOL.
Speaking of Chris Rock, did you see “I Think I Love My Wife?” I thought it was very cute with some good messages om love and commitment.
* “ON love”
That purse that Paulette is sporting looks the satin lining that’s used inside of caskets…..
What Up Sydney!
@ Kevin
I see that you’re still trying to stir up trouble. In the spirit of the holiday, why don’t you don the costume of “Mr, Nice Brotha” and give all the sistas compliments this evening, starting with Pauletta
And wish Joy well on her engagement 
@ Sydney,
Me, trouble. No! That’s not true. What did I say that was not nice.
In the spirit of trying to help ya’ll – I said in a nice way: “Get yourself together spiritually, financially and psychologically, and you will not trip off dude.”
What is wrong with that?
Okay, let me put this way, if a female has got her sh*t together, she’s making money, bought her own condo, get a nice ride, money in the bank, can take a trip when ever she wants, can afford to shop on Rodeo Drive and not bat an eye, and got a dude that’s slammin down raw, she will never, ever have anything negative to say about another female.
With regard to Pauletta, change the wardrobe to more appealing outfits, I’m not saying go out there and look like Nicole Murphy, but add a little Umf to the look and I bet Denzel won’t have that sour look when out in public with her.
That is all I’m saying.
I’m trying to help ya’ll understand why men look at pretty things.
So, you read what I said about Joy.
@ Kevin
Yes, I read what you wrote or didn’t write about Joy. She looks absolutely radiant. I’m happy for her.
I think women understand that men appreciate attractive women. I object to your depiction of some women as somehow being like aging cars that need to be traded in for younger, prettier models. Pauletta is a distinguished woman who has four children — she looks great, far from a “penny piece.”
If beauty is all it takes to keep a man, then why has Halle had several failed relationships? Because it takes more than a pretty face and a banging body to make a relationship work. There has to be real chemistry, mutual respect, and trust, all of which have nothing to do with the exterior. Those are but a few of the ingredients of a mature, healthy relationship.
Now play nicely with your sistas, please.
Where is Sanaa Lathan at? Did she have a baby?
@ Sydney,
And all I said was she was the wife in 50 Cents movie cause folks didn’t know who the hell she was and then I asked why does Bossip give a damn about her engagement.
I didn’t say anything bad about Joy, at all.
Yes, chemisty, mutual respect and trust all important.
However, after a while, that respect, mutual trust and chemisty start drying up and once in a while both parties need a little freshness.
Again, men like big, pretty shinny things. Period. No matter how loving, caring the relationship is, a man will always want the big, pretty shinny thng but his ***** will come back for the caring, the loving and the cooking, he will.
In the meantime, when there is a Kim Kardashian around, a Halle Berry around, or anything that has the persona that celebrity females have, then we fantasize.
That’s all it is.
I’m just a cat from the Bay Area who thinks all this Bossip stuff is funny and I like pretty women.
Glad you think Joy look radiant. I can’t actually see that though.
that ***** aint radiant with her plane jane lookin ***** u right kevin. sydney you soundin phony and pc.
@ Skittles
Thanks! Just trying to keep the sh*t real.
@ Kevin
Thank you for your response. I think I’ve probably said enough on this topic, but I appreciate your viewpoint.
Have a good evening.
@ Skittles
See, there’s the customary Bossip name-calling. You have a good evening as well.
i think that racism and slavery has screwed up black america so much so that a beautiful dark-skinned black woman cannot be appreciated. we need to celebrate this black love instead of hating on paulette
Pauletta would be perfect for my new line of fetish *****os, FUGLY MILFS ***** HARDER
