Well I watched an interview where Denzel admitted he had cheated on his wife and said he was glad she put up with him and he said he will never leave her. Denzel has a history of infidelity but Pauletta will have to be the one to leave. After 22 years I don't think she is going anywhere. The Enquirer is reporting they are getting a divorce but they were also saying that last month. If US Weekly reports it then.... (they are ususally right..lol..)

How long ago was the interview? What the evidence presented regarding his "history of infidelity"?

The interview was a couple of years ago at least. He admitted to cheating, which is why I said history of infidelity.

I am not surprised that he has cheated. Dang, what celebrity hasn't? But I don't see Pauletta bailing out now--unless she has met someone else. lol

Exclamation Russell Simmons touches old money

Scroll down to the second item, and you will see Russell Simmons getting feted by the y-t ladies who lunch portion of high society. Curiously, there are no photos of Kimora Lee Perkins Simmons.

Wilson Pickett Dies of Heart Attack

RESTON, Va.(AP) Wilson Pickett, the soul pioneer best known for the fiery hits "Mustang Sally" and "In The Midnight Hour," died of a heart attack Thursday, according to his management company. He was 64.

Chris Tuthill of the management company Talent Source said Pickett had been suffering from health problems for the past year.

"He did his part. It was a great ride, a great trip, I loved him and I'm sure he was well-loved, and I just hope that he's given his props," Michael Wilson Pickett, the fourth of the singer's six children, told WRC-TV in Washington after his death.

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Pickett _ known as the "Wicked Pickett" _ became a star with his soulful hits in the 1960s.

"In the Midnight Hour" made the top 25 on the Billboard pop charts in 1965 and "Mustang Sally" did the same the following year.

Pickett was defined by his raspy voice and passionate delivery. But the Alabama-born picket got his start singing gospel music in church. After moving to Detroit as a teen, he joined the group the Falcons, which scored the hit "I Found a Love" with Pickett on lead vocals in 1962.

He went solo a year later, and would soon find his greatest success. In 1965, he linked with legendary soul producer Jerry Wexler at the equally legendary soul label Stax Records in Memphis, and recorded one of his greatest hits, "In the Midnight Hour," for Atlantic Records. A string of hits followed, including "634-5789," "Funky Broadway" and "Mustang Sally." His sensuous soul was in sharp contrast to the genteel soul songs of his Detroit counterparts at Motown Records.

As Pickett entered a new decade, he had less success on the charts, but still had hits, including the song "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You."

In later years, he had legal problems and battled substance abuse; in 1994 he served jail time on an assault charge.

Besides his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, he was also given the Pioneer award by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation two years later.

First Look: 'Dreamgirls'
Yeah, Beyoncé (center) is great and all, but what really excites us at PopWatch about DreamWorks' release of early backstage footage of Dreamgirls (shooting began last Monday) is the chance to see our girl, American Idol's Jennifer Hudson (right), in full costume and wig as Effie. (Rounding out the trio is Tony winner Anika Noni Rose, left.)

It looks like they put the wrong Loeral foundation on Beyonce. But I still *heart* her.

Jennifer looks like she's lost some weight.

Jennifer's weight loss is what stands out here, but remember, this is Hollywood and sadly, they wouldn't cast people like Jill Scott or Angie Stone.

Co-sign. I thought when they were orginally looking for Effie, they wanted a plus-size singer (like Jennifer Holiday was when she was on Broadway). I think the main reason Fantaisa didn't get the role because she was considered too small (not because of her reading problem). Even some of our plus-size singers have lost weight (Faith, Kelly Price).

But like you said, this is Hollywood.
