Denzel: I Now Prounounce You Star Struck

This newlywed couple will never forget their wedding ... because it was the day they met Denzel Washington.

Denzel Washington

While vacationing in Italy, the 54-year-old two-time Oscar winner noticed the bride and groom and congratulated them on their big day.

Chances are their wedding night won't be nearly as exciting as an A-list celeb sighting.

Denzel Loves the Lakers, Lakers Love Him Back

Denzel WashingtonFear not Lakers faithful -- Kobe Bryant and his boys have the perfect motivational tool before game four of the NBA finals: movie night (a shiver runs down the Magic's collective spines).

We're told the Lakers had three options for tonight's team bonding outing -- "The Hangover," "Angels & Demons" and "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3."

We would have recommended "The Hangover" (HYSTERICAL!!!), but coach Phil Jackson chose "Pelham" because the team wanted "to support [their] season ticket holder," Denzel Washington.

A discount on his pricey floor seats might be more appreciated by D Dub.

Lindsay Lohan: She Is That Innocent

She's been arrested twice, but Lindsay Lohan's never done anything wrong -- at least according to some random, famewhoring old dude outside of Dan Tana's.

Also in L.A.: Lilly Allen lamented her career, "Ugly Betty" stars Becki Newton and Michael Urie returned from a vacation together, a photog botched Denzel Washington's name, Corey Feldman somehow scored a BMW full of hot chicks and Jenna Jameson slammed the Weiner bill for supporting models but not porn stars.

In NY: Joy Bryant was surrounded by camera-happy children, who Beyonce also signed autographs for.

Heidi Makes Mess In NYC -- Gets Off on Self

Heidi Montag is so talented, she inspires herself. Which means second place inspirational goes to Brandon Davis.


And after making that brilliant insight outside the Kobe Club, she also said she's starring with Denzel Washington in a movie. We're guessing, it's the same way Natalie Cole starred in a movie with her dad -- aka, green screen.

Is That You John Q?

Isn't partying at Villa keeping Denzel out past his bed time?


We never see the Oscar winner out and about. Maybe he thought Villa was a bed and breakfast.

Jon Cryer in for Giant Letdown?

Sitcom dad Jon Cryer went out on a limb last night -- predicting the Giants were going to beat the Packers and go on to the Super Bowl. Brett Favre, anyone?


Also in L.A.: Stratocaster master John Mayer didn't mind signing autographs outside of Katsuya, Lindsay Lohan got a ride, and Will.i.am limped into villa.

In NYC: A dapper Denzel Washington, the shoulder-baring Kate Winslet and Matt Damon's best friend.

Yeah, it's Star Catcher, bitches.

Denzel Gives Out Some Washingtons!

Denzel was passing out free etiquette lessons last night -- hopefully, other Hollywood stars will sit up and pay attention!


The handsome megastar hit up Mr. Chow -- and not only did he give a homeless man $100, he also stopped to sign autographs for all the fans who crowded him. Not once did Denzel lose his cool despite hundreds of flashes going off in his face.


When you've got swagger like this, drama isn't necessary!

Denzel -- American Signer

Denzel Washington, ever the gentleman, doesn't mind signing autographs -- as long as it's just one per person.


Such was his output, as TMZ observed, when he gave out his Johnny Hancock after a taping of "Regis and Kelly" in New York. Meanwhile, Vince Vaughn wouldn't give an eager fan his scribble, blaming it on the trailing paps. Kanye West was more obliging outside of the Mercer Hotel, where the orange-tastic chef Mario Batali got stuck behind a constipated cab. Elsewhere around the Big Apple, Kelly Ripa, Whoopi Goldberg, and Josh Hartnett made their rounds.

Finally, TMZ was there as pop princess Samantha Cole celebrated her birthday, rolling up in absolutely blingerrific style in a Bentley that almost -- but not quite -- upstaged the b-day girl, replete with $4 million in diamond trim.

Denzel's Kid Sent Packing

In the world of pro football, they just don't care who your daddy is -- unless his last name is Manning!
J.D. Washington
Among 11 players cut by the St. Louis Rams last week was running back J.D. Washington -- Denzel's son. But his NFL dreams aren't entirely dead -- J.D. was signed to the team's practice squad just a few days later.

It wouldn't be too big of a tragedy if the whole football thing doesn't work out for the 23-year-old -- he might know a guy who could help him get an acting gig.

Secret Celebrity Marriage Proposals

We've all heard how Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes, but other celebrity marriage proposals that were -- dare we say -- more unusual, went under the radar. Here are five fun celebrity marriage proposals.


What happened next: Denzel and Pauletta married on June 25, 1983. They have four children: John, 21; Katia, 18; and twins Malcolm and Olivia, 14. The couple renewed their marriage vows in 1995, with the Archbishop Desmond Tutu presiding over the ceremony.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor

The proposal: On Nov. 5, 1999, Ben Stiller had all the right intentions. While Christine Taylor was away at a movie, Stiller entered her home and decorated it with candles and rose petals. When Taylor returned, Stiller was down on one knee and promptly proposed. Ah, but there was a snag. Stiller left the engagement ring in his knapsack in Taylor's bedroom. But his good intentions were rewarded with a "yes!"

What happened next: Stiller and Taylor were married May 13, 2000. They have two children: daughter Ella, 3, and son Quinlin, 7 months.

Brendan Fraser and Afton Smith

The proposal: Brendan Fraser was a little too clever for his own good when he proposed to actress Afton Smith. In 1997, while the couple stood on a bridge overlooking the Seine River in Paris, Fraser took a Polaroid of himself and Smith. Just before the picture was taken, Fraser opened his jacket, revealing a note pinned inside that said, "Will you marry me, Afton?"

After the picture developed, the words were just too small to read. So Fraser opened his jacket again, Smith saw the note and immediately said "yes."

What happened next: Fraser and Smith were married on Sept. 27, 1998. They have two sons: Griffin, 3, and Holden, 18 months.

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown

The proposal: For volatile couple Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, one engagement ring wasn't enough. Brown proposed to Houston after they returned home from dinner. He initially took out a small ring, and Houston said "yes." Then he took out an even bigger ring, and as Houston said later in a Ladies Home Journal interview, "I was so surprised that I cried harder."

Aftermath: What to say? They married on July 18, 1992. They have one child together, Bobbi Kristina, 12. They've endured through rehab, arrests, more rehab, more arrests. The drama continues.

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler

The proposal: Travis Barker's heavily tattooed, punked-out look makes him kinda scary, so how appropriate that he popped the question to former Miss USA/Playboy Playmate Shanna Moakler at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. The former Blink-182 drummer said in an interview that he paid off the elevator operator so that he and Moakler could be alone for the magic moment. He got down on one knee and proposed, and Moakler said "yes." But Moakler then surprised Barker with her own down-on-one-knee proposal and engagement ring for him. See them talk about the proposal (video).

Katrina Debris Part of the Scenery for New Denzel Washington Film

By STACEY PLAISANCE, ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Rather than try to avoid storm-damaged areas of post-Katrina New Orleans, makers of the upcoming film "Deja Vu" said Thursday they will incorporate the city's present-day scenery in their script -- mounds of debris, decimated houses and all.

Filming will begin Monday and continue through April in the devastated 9th Ward neighborhood as well as the relatively unscathed French Quarter, Garden District and surrounding parishes, said producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

"It's great to be able to bring the movie industry back," Bruckheimer said, adding that although he has seen "horrific" devastation, "the city is recovering."

He was joined by director Tony Scott and members of the cast for a news conference Thursday at the House of Blues in New Orleans.

Oscar-winning Denzel Washington, who stars in the thriller as a time traveling FBI agent trying to save the woman he loves from being murdered, said he is honored for the opportunity to work in New Orleans and contribute to the city's recovery effort.

Sanaa Lathan Denies Fling With Denzel Washington

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK -- Sanaa Lathan denies she had an affair with Denzel Washington, her co-star in the 2003 thriller "Out of Time," in the February issue of Vibe.

"(The rumor) got started because the movie had a love scene with Denzel, and people took that and translated it to real life," the 34-year-old actress tells the magazine, now on newsstands.

"They said I was pregnant with Denzel's child, and people were calling my mother, saying I'm having his baby. It's frustrating. People are going to talk no matter what."

Washington, 51, has been married to his wife, Pauletta, for 22 years.

A call by The Associated Press to the actor's representative wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.

Lathan stars in the upcoming romantic comedy "Something New."

Washington, who won Oscars for his roles in "Glory" and "Training Day," stars in Spike Lee's new film, "Inside Man."
