Public Practice

Taye Diggs TDIGGS102407_01.jpgPrivate Practice's Taye Diggs and his Nelly Furtado look-a-like wife (Broadway and film star Idina Menzel) showed some very public displays of affection while walking their dog in Santa Monica Wednesday. After first meeting when they both appeared in the original production of Rent over 10 years ago, it's nice to see that they're still very much in love!

TDIGGS102407_17.jpgJust kidding, Taye, you're big, it's the previous shows that were too small!

His wife is an amazing woman.. I LOVE her character in RENT.

She seems like she has a very vibrant personailty and is also incredibly talented, so I totally understand why he married her.

That girl doesn't look like Nelly Furtado. Maybe like her distant cousin, not too mention she looks too pale in comparison to Nelly's lovely beautiful bronze colour.

Woaah his wife so doesn't look like Nelly Furtado..
Nelly Furtado is soooo UGLY.And she can't sing AT ALL. Idina is amazingly talented and gorgeous!

Idina is stunning and so talented. Go look up some pix. You obviously don't have anything better to do.



Posted by: Anonymous

Idina is one of the most beautiful women on the planet, go look her up.

Go listen to Idina's music. She is AMAZING.

And why don't you loser open your minds a tiny little bit, and see that they're in love and they're happy. It doesn't matter what color their skin in.

I can't believe you people sit on the computer all day and criticize celebrities. I wonder what some of you fat whores look like.



Posted by: Ann Marie

It doesn't matter what a white woman looks like, a black man will choose an ugly white woman over a black woman any day. And most black men are unfaithful, so it's a given it doesn't matter who he's with he'll cheat.



Posted by: Rebecca

I can see what you mean Ann Marie, only with Taye he was with Idina when they were both struggling at the NTWS doing, RENT, a show noone really expected to become what it was. They have been together 12 years. I applaud them for staying together through the good and the bad. That is amazing no matter what race.

Interracial relationship really are just a small percentage of actually marriages out there. It is something like 5%.

It isn't as dramatic as people make it out to be.



Posted by: Mixed race couple

its sad that people still think that way. its not your business what they do. and besides, why does it matter? racism is so 1950's. get over yourself. Me and my fiance have been together for nearly 7 years and we are of different races. both of our families love it! so just stay out of other people's business. they are a lovely couple and Idina is absolutely gorgeous and completely talented. you must be jealous, whether you will admit it or not. that is truly where racism comes from. insecurity.



Posted by: Anonymous

Idina's the most amazingly gorgeous women, so all of you shut the hell up about her.

She insanely talented.

Ann Marie and Rebecca are both retarded. to the 10th power. what stupid generalizations to make.

hey people this ann marie is a white bigot ass white man posing as a white woman. this idiot is hating on black women and dont even know what the fuck black men want. sure some black men go with white women and some dont. but the same is for the white women how come they are not with you stupid ass. this troll is oposing under anon and ann marie and other names, it is so obvious because the troll goes on all the sites with a black person (especially with white women) like heidi klum and seal and spreads his racist ass remarks about black women. fucking retard even mixed race couple 7;38 CALLED YOUR ASS A RETARD. HA HA HA.



Posted by: Anonymous

she looks BETTER than furtado the plastic midget



Posted by: Rachel

This makes me giggle. First of all, I am lovin all the "Anonymous" posts. Race Mixer, breathe, just a little, this is 2007, okay. Taye is a man who can decide who he wants to marry and shag, really now, you need to let it go, he doesn't love you and he never did, he loves her! Ha. Also as pretty Nelly is that bronze skin might of come from an oven, you never know so don't judge the pale... at least its not orange...

Ann Marie this is not Maury, can you please refrain from sharing your life story? ... Maybe you should pull a Michael Jackson and go white since you are probably not the prettiest person out there and your self esteem is low enough to say such things you will fit right in with the "ugly white woman" category you speak of ... just a thought. Who knows... I'm hearing wedding bells. Thanks for playing.



Posted by: melony

she is my favorite singer, but i have to admit, she looks like a mother fucking bitch there!!!!!!! (of corse, those pics are bad, she is actualy a beautyful women!!!!!

Posted by: Ann Marie

Wow, Rachel, it's not like you're trolling or anything, right? You need to take that stick out of your fat ass and hook up with Anon 8:39AM because you both sound mentally disturbed.



Posted by: Rachel

And you sound incredibly desperate, and lonely because you have nothing better to do than bash a black man for being with a white woman, as I said, you need to get over whatever man left you and chill out. You say all this bad shit about black men, how they always cheat, they are no good... then stop complaining that they aren't with you when you have nothing good to say about them in the first place. Why would they want to be with a black woman like that... really now. I am assuming you are black, if not... ha.

WHATS WRONG WITH YOU
IDINA MENZEL IS ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS WOMEN IN THE WORLD YOU IDIOTS

taye doesnt even deserve her



Posted by: Rob

Oh yeah and dont refer to idina menzel as a nelly furtado look alike, as if she's just a regular person. Just because Idina hasnt been featured on TRL doesnt mean you can think of her as just "Taye's wife". She has millions of fans and can sing better than half the shitty artists that you hear on MTV video wake up. She's sang some of the hardest showtunes ever written eight fucking performances a week for over a year and half in Wicked, not to mention half a dozen other shows. She's a powerful woman that doesnt deserve to be half-credited.

she is still fugly and ugly.

To all the people who just called Idina Menzel Ugly, you are all the stupidest people in the world. Taye is fucking lucky to still have her



Posted by: Sab

Leave them alone. They make such a great couple, regardless of race and color! Calling Idina fugly was beyond mean. The comments on her and on their relationship was foul. I cannot believe people still regard beauty and relationships with such superficiality. It's bad enough we live in a world immersed in oppression and racism. Let's not add to that.
Taye and Idina are both extremely talented and gorgeous individuals who deserve to be treated with the same respect as any other regular couple. I understand that they're celebrities and it's inevitable that people talk about them. However, I don't think it's fair that people pass judgment and start calling them names. It was disconcerting reading the really mean remarks. Obviously these are rooted from some deep seated insecurity issues.
You know what they say, take a long, hard look at yourself being passing judgment on others...

Rachel don't be paranoid. I didn't say Indina's not pretty. All I said is she looks more like Nelly Furtado's very distant cousin, then said she has a pale colour and Nelly has a bronze colour. Unlike you, I didn't put her down like you put N.Furtado down by saying her "bronze skin might of come from an oven" and at least Indina's not orange like Nelly. Yet you have the nerve to scold others for making bad remarks. Nelly's colour isn't artificial, just check her little girl pics and old videos. It's natural for many people of hispanic Portuguese descent to have Nelly's colour, it even goes with Nelly's physical features.

TMZ has pictures of Terence Howard with a lovely blonde, stacked white woman. Black men have excellent taste...in white women.



Posted by: Anonymous

and white women have good taste in handsome black hunky men. terrance howard is fine. but i have seen white women with not so fine men and having babies with them . uh.... flavor flav for example, and any time a good looking man has money black or white you will find a bunch of white women hanging on.its not about the stacked white women ive seen terrance with beautiful curvy full lipped black women also. plus i have seen black men with ugly fat ass white women, terrance howard just happens to be rich black and good looking so thats a plus for these women.

ok. seriously people. if you're going to be mean, don't post your fucking comments here. if it's the attention you want, go sit in the middle of the street and get hit by a car or something, cuz this is so ridiculous. if you don't like them, and that's fine, dont look at their pictures and waste your time and ours with your stupid comments. if you genuinely dont like them, dont look. dont comment. go find something else to do. you're entitled to your opinion sure, but not when its mean-spirited and made to hurt others, so go fuck yourselves. thank you :).

Stop hating on taye and idina. espically idina! what did they ever do to you? She is an extremely beautiful women and talented singer and actress.You obviously dont know who she is.

Seriously grow up and get a life.

Idina is one beautiful woman inside and out.



Posted by: ReadyForFame

guys. stfu. i'm a huge idina/taye fan, but i'm not gonna bash you guys for hating or loving them. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please don't be so derogatory towards one another or to them. personally, i think she's gorgeous and they're like the perfect couple, but i don't disagree that there are pictures where she looks...kinda bad. but then there are pictures of all celebrities that make them look like they had sex-change operations. please just stop bitching at one another and them. at least, just not in writing. i know from personal experience when an article about me had some nasty ramifications, things in writing can be taken the completely opposite way than you mean them.

as for the racists, this is my opinion: race doesn't matter. i'm indian, so i have colored skin but it doesn't effing matter. i find it a little (i lied. very) disturbing that you say shit about mixed marriages. it was people like you who tried to BURN DOWN THE GERSHWIN THEATER WHILE IDINA WAS IN IT BECAUSE SHE MARRIED A BLACK MAN. who knows? maybe you'll fall in love with someone of a different race? so please try to keep an open mind



Posted by: Anonymous

who are you kidding all of you name-callers? are u serious?!! Idina Menzel is one of the most beautiful, talented woman out there. I doubt any of you could possibly get up on stage and sing Stephen Swartz lyrics eight times a week. And for taye diggs, well he is just SO HOT!!! and RENT is ah-mazing. all of you racists should check it out!!! XOXOXOXO IDINA!!!

also- they have a strong marriage- don't you wish you all had love in your lives?



Posted by: Anonymous

Idina Menzel rocks. Stop calling her those things. She is beautiful, talented, and ah-mazing dancer!



Posted by: Shell

This is some of the worst stuff I've ever read. I usually don't read such slanderish things much less reply with a retort, but I need to defend my favorite girl in this case. Idina is a very talented up and coming artist. Why even comment on her personal life or her looks for that matter. Generally people like a particular artist because there is something about they way they perform--sing, whatever they do that gets to you. That is all that really matters anyway. That and the fact that you are happy these people are around to give you pleasure from their talents. I happen to be an Idina fan and I get great joy hearing her sing.
I shall not be back to view any more comments.



Posted by: ♥Whittney♥

I totally agree w/ shell and all the others supporting Idina. She is amazing. Stop putting her down. They are soooo cute together and u know i'm right.

wow i didn't know people were still this racist. take a look at your calanders: it's alomst 2008, not 1950. idina and taye are two of the most talented people in the world, and they also seem to be the most in love.

The second picture is my favorite; mocking Taye Diggs is a strange pass time of mine.
Love them both.



Posted by: elphaba

Idina is an incredibly beautiful, strong, and talented women. They are happy together, so it shouldn't matter that he's black and she's white. THey love eachother and that's all that matters! Obviously you people don't have anything better to do than critisize talented people. Anyone else out there that has seen Rent and Wicked will know the true talent of both of these people.
