Not So Blind Item

Posted by Bossip Staff



Blind Item from Myra Panache:

This married black male celebrity is considered to be one of the best and most respected in his field. He’s also considered one of the best womanizers to ever come through Hollywood. He is always on the prowl, day and night. He has two assistants scout out women, 24/7. A constant stream of women come and go-from his trailer and he’s always popping Viagra. Womanizing has become a sickness for him. He cheats on his wife constantly and he comes up with ingenious methods to cover his tracks. It appears that he is trying to prove that “he still has it.” He lives to cheat.

How does Denzel find the time to hit up all these parties in NYC? Hey, maybe it's Samuel Jackson.

Denzel Washington Turned Down Love Scene with Julia Roberts Because of 'Black Women'

Posted by Bossip Staff



Via New York Daily News:

Denzel Washington once turned down a love scene with Julia Roberts out of loyalty to his female African-American fans, Allison Samuels reveals in her new book, "Off the Record" (Amistad). Washington nixed the steamy segment even though Roberts insisted that he be cast as her co-star in "The Pelican Brief," writes Samuels, a respected Newsweek reporter. Washington explained: "Black women are not often seen as objects of desire on film. And they have always been my core audience."

If only Taye Diggs was that smart after Stella Got Her Groove Back. Denzel finally accepted some affection from Julia Roberts at the Oscars in 2002 when she kissed him after he won an Oscar.

Paula Patton and Denzel Washington in London

Posted by Bossip Staff



The idea is to look younger Paula. Paula's "blue-eyed soul" singer husband Robin Thicke is again nowhere to be found. Even before his tour started, they were never spotted together. What's going on with that? If Robin ever slips up, I am sure Paula will be scooped up faster than than it takes for a new Eddie Murphy popping up. These pics are from the London premiere of Deja Vu.



Denzel's depressed old man look is really getting depressing to look at. Will someone get this guy a sexy actress to have an affair with to spice up his life? He has that "I want to leave my wife" look or "Paula wasn't feelin me" look and has been pretty consistent with it. Paula or Pauletta?

Denzel: After I mess with Paula some more , this Jada girl is looking like a good and safe side deal right here.

Jada Pinkett-Smith: If only I had a real man like Denzel, I can't believe he is checking out my rack.

Denzel and Jada were in NYC yesterday for the premiere of Deja Vu which opens in theatres tomorrow.

Who Looked More Bangin Last Night? Jennifer Lopez vs. Paula Patton

Posted by Bossip Staff



Jennifer Lopez at the Los Angeles Free Clinic Dinner Gala Honoring Brad Grey and Paula Patton at the Deja Vu movie premiere in NYC last night. We must ask, WHO LOOKED MORE BANGIN?



"Blue-eyed soul" singer Robin Thicke may be slippin letting his girl fly solo to "everything". Denzel who was rumored to have had a fling with Sanaa Lathan a while back may have already pushed up on Paula. Here is Paula talking about Denzel's "genius":

Paula: You can’t have butterflies at the moment when you work with him. At that moment you have to be just another person or you’ll be eaten alive. It’s when you walk away from working with Denzel that you go [silent scream] ‘I just worked with Denzel Washington!’ You’re in your hotel room and every movie on that weekend is a movie he’s been in. But, I can say working with Denzel is like an actor going to graduate school, for me, it was like that. I learned so much from him. He’s a genius. He taught me that you prepare and prepare and don’t rehearse. You go in and see what organically happens. He would always surprise me.



Here is Paula Patton talking about her new movie Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. When asked about a possible connection between her and Denzel, she seems to try to downplay it making it sound suspect. Denzel is probably hittin that.



If Denzel had to dedicate a song to Robin Thicke, it would probably be Ill Al Scratch with Brian McKnight-I'll Take Her. That was the cut back in the day.

Jay-Z and Denzel Washington Throw Up The Roc

Seen on The Scene: Diddy, Ciara, Lil Wayne, Paula Patton, Letoya, Vivica Fox

Posted by Bossip Staff



Actress Paula Patton who is "blue-eyed soul" singer Robin Thicke's wife attended the Deja Vu (Denzel Washington) in LA Monday. A lot of positive buzz being generated around her. You can see Paula with a more sexy look in her husbands video "Lost Without You" below, kinda dated but cool video, especially with pretty Paula in those Black shorts. If some of you were wondering, Robin Thicke is the son of Growing Pains Alan Thicke who played the father.






Lil Wayne: "I look so pretty, look at my long locks, rainbow colors, and red belt, I even threw some pink on my flashy belt". Lil Wayne was on hand for Sucker Free on MTV yesterday.




Lil Wayne stuntin with his "Daddy". Letoya looking fly as usual, although looking a bit "too mature" with the blouse. Update on Baby kissing Lil Wayne on the mouth, this is a rapper that goes by the name of Gillie who used to roll with Cash Money co-signing he saw them kiss on the mouth.



SMH at the nigga with the large glasses talking "tough". Gillie is the one taking credit for releasing the picture of Lil Wayne and his "Daddy" kissing. Look for the 3:20 mark "You kissed Stunner in his mouth, your not Birdman's daughter". Video spotted at rhymes with snitch.



Diddy: "Nice chest you have, what are you doing later on?"
Diddy met the Manchester United soccer team in London yesterday.



Former member of Making of The Band Sara Stokes looking fly at her video shoot for "You" in New York yesterday.



Vivica Fox sporting a very unoriginal costume for Halloween last night. With all her recent plastic surgery, she could of gone as the Joker and called it a day.



Ciara dressing up as herself for Halloween. She looks good here but the shoes are horrible and may make someone wonder was this a costume. Ciara hosted a Halloween party in New York last night.

HMMM of The Day: Ananda Lewis and MC Lyte at Morehouse Game in LA

BFF's MC Lyte and Ananda Lewis (who were cast members in the Vagina Monologues) attend the Morehouse College game against Alcorn State Saturday. Ananda said "bitterly" back in 1998:

As for me, these days I'm very up-front with guys I date. I tell them right off the bat that I'm celibate. And it hasn't really impacted my social life that much, though I know a few jerks will say, "Oh she's definitely gay" when I turn them down.

Ananda, we know you are bitter from Diddy and some other niggas hurting you, but who said you were going to be called gay for being celibate? Now kickin it with "King Latifah" friend MC Lyte, being emotionally bitter, celibate, etc. all together will certainly get some "jerks" saying you may be gay.



Denzel Washington talking to students at the game which was held at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Denzel's son John David plays for the Morehouse College football team.

What You Know About That? TI on the set of American Gangster

TI looking like a Choir Boy or The Tin Man (take your pick) on the American Gangster movie set with Denzel Washington in Harlem.

Random Pics: Beyonce, Denzel Washington, Damon Dash

More pics of Beyonce in Monaco. A good shot of her backs but the 80's scrunch spandex is a hot mess.



Beyonce looking kinda hookerish, like she is walking the track. Still manages to look cute here.



The Black father appears for the cameras. Most likely after contacting Lizzie Grubman and the papparazi, Dame takes his daughter Ava for a bike ride for some positive press. SMH



Denzel Washington and Common on the set of "American Gangster" in Harlem, New York last week. Could Denzel get another Oscar since he is playing a thug again?
