Eye-dina MENzle? What the hell? If you're going to do a story on someone, learn to pronounce their name correctly.

He said it wrong. That was in intersting story. I enjoyed the Rent footage. What was with that first woman who was interviewed? "Oh my god! Oh my god!"

Oh my god...this is a lot more serious than I thought. Imagine, if something could happen to either of them or the Gershwin theater? I'm worried.

Stop freaking out people. The theatre is not going to be burned down. They're much more ineterested in Taye and Idina.

nothing new--just what was in the post story, that it's being classified as a hate crime, the gershwin had no comment, random sound bites from shocked theatre patrons, shots of people waiting at the stage door. Showed clips of them in RENT and mispronounced her name as "AI-dina" but it is really awful--seeing it on tv makes it resonate more. Sick mofos out there.

wow... it really is true. i didn't totally trust the post, but then it was in newsday, which i think is more reliable. so it's not really as blown out of proportion as people think, if it made it onto the 6 oclock news...

That's scary. I would be pretty terrified if people were seding threats like that to me or someone I loved. Yikes.

Am I the only who knows nothing about this? When was this reported and what's allegedly going on?

It was in the Post this morning, on the front page. Taye's been getting letters from some moron who is threatening to castrate him for being married to a white woman, and the guy is also threatening to burn the Gershwin down.

I missed it! DARN!

Oh wow, that's terrible! Yeesh, call me naive but I thought society was far past the interracial "controversy"! Why them though? Aren't there other famous interracial couples?

(I wouldn't give much thought to the Post though - did someone say there's other sources that corroborate this?)

"But a police source said the letter threatened the "How Stella Got Her Grove Back" star with "bodily harm," called him a "sellout," and, most disturbingly, declared that the sick sender "wanted to burn him and castrate him." "

"In addition to the malicious missive sent to Diggs, the writer has also penned at least two noxious notes making "negative remarks" about Menzel and her marriage — and threatening to burn down the Gershwin Theatre, where she stars in the musical "Wicked." "


Somebody needs to go watch Hairspray and maybe be checked into a hospital.

Oh wow. That's really, really sad that they or anyone has to deal with crap like that- I can't imagine. No wonder Idina isn't big on stagedooring. Nobody deserves crap like that.

Another thing that shocked me was the announcement of their wedding on the BET website - it produced a slew of comments like "Why couldn't you marry a sista, Taye? Why are you marrying a she-devil?" Racism and intolerance occurs on both sides, sadly enough.
