Idina is Jewish or something.
And she’s talented as all get out.
Apparently when they first got married, their house got vandalized with some racist graffiti or something.
Does anyone else remember that?

^^Courtie…Yup!! I remember that. They were getting hate mail, death threats and everything. Crazy. She’s supper talented though. I was wondering if the only reason he was chosen to play in Rent the movie was because she was in the movie also? Frenchie looks good. At least she moved on to do something in the field she loves.

Taye Diggs done fell of just a little bit.. His movie roles these days are highly suspect… I mean when is the brotha ever gonna recapture that greatness that was

**Winston Shakespeare in How Stella Got Her Groove Back**

I guess Angela Basset is just a great actress who is really good at bring the best out of her costars…

His wife is pretty to me… I dont see their relationship as one of the typical black man white woman cases.. Isnt she like jewish? Is that the same as white? who knows? well More power to them

French Davis!!!! Is an amazing singer, had she been given the chance to sing on American Idol she would have took that competition by storm.. she has a Monthly Cabaret thing.. And i hear she brings down the house every single time.. She brings out A-List celebrities to support her beautiful annointed by god voice..

Frenchie Davis OVER Star Jones ANY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let Love Rule!

They’ve been together forever, she was by his side all along. That’s called love and standing by your man. When he was on the rise she had his back, now that he’s there he’s got her’s.
Is that really a problem?

It’s called commitment and loyalty and love!

This guy makes psychics look regular! Who couldn’t have predicted that he was going to marry a white woman? Everyone, you always hear about “Sellouts” but don’t ever really want to label someone that. It’s a pretty low bar to be called that. BUT THIS DUDE IS A “SELLOUT!” Don’t get me wrong, Taye doesn’t deny he’s black, but something just screams at me that he says to himself, “God please let me be white for a day” and that’s all it takes for me to label him a “SELLOUT”

30.

@ bigsantiago

i don’t think that he is a sell out at all, he married the woman he fell in love with, what wrong with that. OK she’s white, so what. Taye know he is “sweated” because he’s chocolate and handsome. He wouldn’t give that up for nothing, that is the secret to his success.

@ starlicious dee

I hear the pain in your post. You want to like this man because he is intellegent, and handsome. But if he had to choose between you and your white twin, who do you think he would pick? Did you see previews or watch his show on T.V.? I didn’t because I didn’t see one person of color in the previews, so I know which demographic his show was reaching. Mr. Freeman, Fishburn, Washington would have none of that in promoting their show. The secret to his success is his undying loyalty to the Keebler Elves. Check his nose for brown splotches.

Race shouldn’t be an issue but when Taye-Taye was asked what other women he had a crush on or thought were sexy they were all white as well. brotha don’t know any fine black women (or men)!

38.

starlicious dee

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 /

@ bigsantiago

i’m not pained at all.i just don’t think that he is a sell out becaue he married a white woman. And if he doens’t know any attractive african american actress, that sad for him. It could be a whole slew of reasons why he isn’t intersted in someone who is black. But its definetly something that is deep rooted. but it doesn’t make him a sellout. women of all shades are still pressed for him.

This may sound a little odd because if Taye is happy then that is the most important thing, but I CHALLENGE anyone here to name 5 non-black celebrities (including the NBA, NFL, and MLB) with black wives. I can think of 4.

Now, can you name 7 or more black men that are “celebrities” with non-black wives? I can quickly name 7.

That is the thing in my eyes. Black men seem to be attracted to all women but it doesn’t appear it is the same in reverse toward black women. Black rap stars as a whole have all types of women in their videos, but how often does that happen with white videos?

It is so easy to say, “Oh I don’t see color” but the fact that I have to almost struggle to come up with 5 non-black celebs with black wives but can immediately name 7 black men with non-black wives, says a lot. Just something to think about.

As for Taye being married to a white woman that’s he’s business but when you go out of your way to try and put Black women down that’s when I have a problem, and that’s what he did.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I totally agree! That’s his choice and good for him! What pains me is like you said, when he goes all out to diss black women. He was all up on the black booty in my favorite movie of all time, “The Best Man!” So, it’s whatever! He’s an average looking dude with a nice body. Frenchie looks nice too! Moving on…..that negro done ran me HOT!

++++++++++++++++++
Why limit it to black men—how about Diana Ross, Diane Carroll, Eartha Kitt, Tina Turner, Kerry Washington, Heather Headly–and thats just the married folks–we can add Halle, Serena, Lil Kim, Eve, Sanaa Latham to the dating folks. Its black celebrities period that think uppin their status means getting at white girl or boy.

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 /

I don’t think Taye or any other of the black celebs are trying to “up” their career by dating white men/women. After you reach a certain level of maturity and become more open minded, you stop limiting your self to just race or other superficial things and open yourself up to love and happiness. I’ve been w/ white, black, asian, hispanic and mixed; its all about the person not the skin color.

I’m not mad at Taye for marrying someone he loves, who cares if she’s jewish. I do however have a problem w/ any person who excludes their own race, that’s not cool.

47.

Siobhan

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 /

Why oh why do we always have to question interracial relationships? Good Lord, it’s 2006. We, as a whole, need to realize that love knows no color. If we continue to see color then we limit ourselves. There are amazing people out there…are we to let the color of their skin determine whether we develop a romantic relationship with that person? If so, many people will be alone for a good portion of their lives.

At least his wife ain’t ugly. So it’s not like he up and got the first white girl he saw. But anyway, look what’s happened to his career. I wonder if it has anything to do with his marrying a white woman? Or was his career over before that? Just wondering.

i love me some frenchie davis! mm mm mm. She need to go ahead and come out with an album. About the whole Black/White thing…this may sound dumb but to me,it really depends on who it is. 4 example: Venus & Serena Williams,yall white guys can have Donkey & Diddiy Kong!!! We dont wan’ them heffas!i WILL say i was HELLA dissapointed to find out Heather Headley was with a white guy. But i guess you love who you love

Have you ever looked at a black man and thought, “I bet he only dates white girls”? You know, when there’s just something about a brotha that gives off that vibe? Not because he talks proper and doesn’t sag his pants. There’s just something…. Anyway, that’s what I thought about Taye, even when I saw him in The Best Man and Stella.

I JUST THINK THAT SHE IS MASCULINE. TOO MUCH TESTOSTERONE…

THE REAL PROBLEM I HAVE WITH TAYE DIGGS IS WHEN HIS UGLY ASS WAS TRYING TO INSULT BLACK WOMEN ON THE CHRIS ROCK SHOW BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HIM, ONLY BLACK WOMEN TELL HIM HE IS SHORT. THANKFULLY, CHRIS ROCK ASKED HIM “WHAT ABOUT BLACK WOMEN”? THE BYATCH HAD TO SHUT IT!

SADLY BLACK WOMEN NEVER SEEMED TO HAVE TOLD THE LOSER THAT HE IS ALSO UGLY INSIDE AND OUT!!

I LOVE C. ROCK…

a racist energy, an abusive energy, a player energy, a crazy and deranged energy, a sweet/nice energy, a peaceful energy, I would never date/marry a black woman if she was the last woman on earth energy, etc.

Wednesday, April 26, 2006 /

Just from reading the post, it’s obvious that Diggs has self hate issues that he needs to address. I know I’m gonna step on toes by saying this. Please don’t take this the wrong way…but some darker skinned(and fair skin)have issues with their color. Maybe, he was always looked over for being to dark(not to mention he’s short and has a face like a froggy)by the ladies (and the men too…lol!!!). So now his children(that they may have) have a better chance of not suffering the same fate that he has.

If you have ever read the book “The Blacker the Berry” by Wallace Thurman you could get what I’m saying. This book was originally published in 1929. This book address the “issues” of being dark skinned in the Black Community. As much as black women love to say “I love chocolate men”, the fact still remains that having the dark skin can sometimes be looked upon as being a “curse” or not attractive. Hum, if he had of just heard the expression “I’mo slap the black off of you” one less time, then maybe he would stayed “home”…lol!

Be Reasonable: I don’t see how anyone could think that celebrities being in a interacial relationship could actually “up” their status. If anything, it causes more grief dealing with the negative flack on both racial lines. I’m not against the intermingling of the race, But i do have an issue with those celebrities (like Taye, or Fabolous) who have to degrade their own women of color, in order to justify their preferences. Do not put a racial gender in a box and say “all black women this or that”, it only showcases the self-hate they harbor. True love is colorblind…not stupid

66.

Siobhan

Wednesday, April 26, 2006 /

Is it not possible that the two of them truly love one another for who they are? Not the color of their skin? Personally, I can’t figure out what the big deal is if Taye Diggs got himeself a white woman for a wife. We don’t only find common interests with those who share the same color of skin. Taye Diggs & Idina Menzel share a love of theatre/acting and who knows what else? We don’t live their lives.

Also, Jewish is a religion…not a race. There are white Jewish people and black Jewish people. So, no being Jewish is not the same as being white.

What’s so bad about what he said on the Chris Rock show? If in his experience all the sistas overlooked him because he was short, then why is it bad that he related his experience? Just like Rodman–black women know damn well they weren’t checking for Rodman when he was broke, but then get mad when he ain’t checkin for them when he’s paid and they’re broke.

72.

HoustonJ

Wednesday, April 26, 2006 /

I don’t have a problem with Taye’s relationship per say. But I think the number of “famous” black men with non-black spouses speaks volumes. And it’s not just about them reaching a certain status because if it were just about that, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE NAMED 5 NON-BLACK “FAMOUS” MEN WITH BLACK WIVES by now. White men make it to that “level” and STILL don’t marry black women, so why do some of you excuse black men “making it” with not having a black wife.

And in most cases even those “famous” black men (by the way this includes the NFL, NBA, and MLB), that do have black wives, share a particular skin tone. Let’s face it, Pauletta Washington (Denzel) and Latonya Jackson (Samuel), are rare sights in the world of celebrity wives.

Trust me when I say love is blind but I also am aware of the history of black people in this country and how it has affected us mentally. So because of that alone, I see interracial relationships and wonder if the black person has his or her head together in terms of how their subconcious views him/herself and other black people.

Note- I’m still waiting for someone to name 5 either white, hispanic, asian, or east Indian famous men with a black wife. I’ll give you 2 with David Bowie (Iman), and Roger Ebert (Movie Critic).

Really you all need to stop hatin! A stong black woman wouldn’t care. So maybe all of you out there gettin outraged that Taye is with a white woman need to look inside yourselves and figure out what self esteem issues you have.
