Amid talk of a break-up between Denzel Washington and his wife of 22 years, Pauletta, Something New star Sanaa Lathan is once again denying an old rumor: That Papa D got her pregnant while the two were shooting the 2003 thriller Out of Time.
We agree that there doesn’t seem to be much basis for the pregnancy rumor - Sanaa looked pretty svelte in Alien vs. Predator, after all - but the Washingtons’ divorce denials are getting pretty hilarious. Check out Denzel’s rep’s response to a report that the two-time Oscar winner has moved into a hotel:
Before his last four films, Denzel has taken a room in a hotel to prepare for his roles. But he comes home at night! Their marriage is just fine.
Uh, sure buddy. Because you really have to seclude yourself from those you love to properly immerse yourself in the psychological depths of Man on Fire.
Still, we’re a little scared for Sanaa. After the 2001 Oscars, when a hysterically exuberant Julia Roberts practically jumped on Denzel’s head while presenting him a trophy, we hear Pauletta followed J. Ro into the ladies’ room and lit her hair on fire with the flick of a Bic and an errant shot of hairspray.
Okay, that’s not true. But it’s pretty funny if you try to picture it.
