Madame Tussauds Wax Museum celebrated the unveiling of its Denzel Washington wax figure by holding a mock debate honoring Washington's movie The Great Debaters, recently released on DVD. WOW! That picture looks so REAL! I almost don't believe that it isn't Denzel. :)

The people over at the museum really have a gift. That is one skill that cannot be learned. 

Now HERE is some talent that deserves a post! Here is Mr. Denzel Washington out with his wife Pauletta leaving The Grill in Beverly Hills. When you are Denzel, you don't need to get dressed up. He could probably walk in the Ritz for lunch with track pants on! :)How does everyone like the goatee? Goatee is such an interesting word to me. Same with cow lick and pony tail. Why are all hair style names related to animals? I always found that so odd.Flynet

Apparently "Villa Lounge" is a major hot spot for celebrities in Hollywood. Leading man Denzel Washington was spotted leaving the club this past weekend and he sure didn't look pleased about being photographed. Also leaving was Matthew Perry, a regular of the Villa Lounge. I'm curious if any of you go to these clubs specifically because celebrities go as well? Are they all hype?WENN

Denzel Washington, star of 'The Great Debaters' stopped to sign some autographs for fans as he departed ABC Studios after appearing on 'Live with Regis and Kelly'. I just love him!WENN

Sorry, my husband always makes fun of the way Oprah screams out things to her audience members. Oprah, Gayle King, and a very fashionable Jennifer Hudson joined Denzel Washington at the Los Angeles Premiere of "The Great Debaters". Nice to see Oprah out and about. We rarely get to see her outside of the Harpo studios.Bauer Griffin

Boy! Today is a great day for celebrity pictures. All of my favorites were busy over the last few days including Kate Winslet,Famke Janssen and Helen Mirren attending the 6th Annual BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards. Stunning!!!

• Denzel Washington
• Jennifer Connelly
• Jodie Foster
• Thandie Newton

Russell Crowe, Olivier Martinez, Ben Foster, Denzel Washington, Damon Waynes and Mel Gibson all attended the industry screening of 'American Gangster' held at ArcLight Theatre. A few weeks ago we talked about how Will Smith is one of those actors who always make me want to see the movie. Russell and Denzel are both on that list as well. So this one just might be a keeper.

In 1970s America, a detective works to bring down the drug empire of Frank Lucas, a heroin kingpin from Manhattan, who is smuggling the drug into the country in the coffins of soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.

The movie releases on the 2nd.WENN

Denzel Washington gave People Magazine some personal photos of him as a child. I love seeing pictures of celebrities as children. Heck, I love seeing anyone as a child. But that serious Denzel is just so cute!

Denzel (second from the left) on a Boys Club field trip in the 1960s. The group went to the Mount Vernon, N.Y., police station, where he was chosen as police commissioner for the day.

Then Denzel shared a picture of him on vacation with one of his sons, Malcom. To see more pictures, visit People magazine.
