Hey Taye, it's so nice to see a video blog from you!
It looks like you guys are having so much fun and don’t worry about the costume you can make anything look good :p I can't wait to see the film.

Taigan

Hey Taye! Thanks for posting the cute little video blog. You rule!! Love ya!!!
-Sarah

Very good video blog! I enjoyed it...thanks for it!

Taye and Chocolate... now that's yummy!

I understand you not feeling those pants, Taye... I guess Benny just doesn't know how to style it like you do! Thanks for the blog, I can't wait for the movie!
xo Amanda C

Taye, you have the best style! I'm loving the video blogs.

P.S. *hands over virtu-candy bars*

I knew it. I knew you were crazy.
The shoes are good.

Awe...why isn't this have a Windows Media option like the other video blogs did?! lol I have Quicktime, but my computer won't play the video part...so all I had was audio...but at least it was something...but still lol

Anyway, from what I heard, sounded like good times! :P Taye, whatever the wordrobe issues you have, don't worry, hun...you'd look fabulous in anything! hehe And that whole chocolate cravng was adorable! :)

I wanna see this though :\ lol

~*~Samantha~*~

Taye Diggs is a fashionista? How interesting! I love it!

I love chocolate bars too!!!

Say hi to Idina for me!

I want a candy bar! That made me laugh.

But, I think you look good in whatever you wear, so it's all good, don't worry about ugly clothes. :o)

*bounce* Ah! I can't wait! I have never been this excited about a movie before!

Oh how I love Taye. I think he was amazing in Rent and will be even better this time. I also am sad over the fact that Kevin Hill is gone. That man had me bawling during the last episode. Cannot wait for the movie, I need my Taye/Rent fix :)

:::Bringin back the gold:::

Hahaha, that's AWESOME. :-D

Taye, you are awesome!

- Annie <3

Aw, that was so cute.

No candy bar for Taye, haha.

~Amanda

This was cute. I hear ya on the chocolate craving....but mine's more like every split second. Have fun getting your candy bars when you want them!

Thanks Anthony and Taye for this week's video blog...we all really appreciate it, believe me. Taye, I've never met a straight guy who was as fashion savvy as you are...or as much of a diva as you are (Kidding, of course, but I like how you got someone to get you what you wanted). Anthony, I love how you can be Mark when you're being yourself...it makes my day. Thanks again boys!

MMm mmmm MMMM! Lovin' it Taye!!

When are you and Idina gonna pop out some kids? Those would be some gorgeous babies!

Taye you are so cute! oooooo i want some chocolate now...and some taye ;-)!

Taye, your beautiful! I must admit Idina adds to your beauty, but together you are breathe taking!

Hey Taye!
That was the cutest little video blog I've ever seen. You keep going with those fashion complaints-- you've got a point there! Stick to your guts! And way to go getting someone to get you what you wanted... that was too cool! Thanks as always for recognizing the fans, and providing us with some kind of outlet to the wonderful world of Broadway! Luv ya, and supporting you always!
Peace,
Samantha*

Aw Taye! You're such a kid at heart. I love it! LOL. You always look good, no matter what you wear. I can't wait for this movie! I hope all these mini videos will be on the DVD when it comes out! All the best, all my thanks, and all my love.
-Crystal

Wow you are hott.

Idina is one lucky lady.

Kisses.

very cute :) i think the outfit's perfect for bennie since i always saw him as a wannabe yuppie...a bohemian who was lucky enough to nose his way into the well-to-do, so i feel his character wouldn't get the clothes just right cause he'd be trying to hard. then again, that's just my opinion.

obviously, mr. diggs has SO much more style than bennie :)

Haha Taye, you're adorable. I'm so excited! And the behind the scenes videos make me so happy. As someone said before, I hope they're on the DVD or something.

<3 Amanda

Hehe, funny video.

Very nice blog. Loved it. Hope to hear from you again.

that was quite cute. i had fun watching that.

Taye, no one cares about your costume, you make everything look hot. ;-)

Now I want some candy. Darn. First you tempt me with trips to NYC I can't afford, and now candy? What is this conspiracy? What can you offer poor, candyless people such as myself?

Haha, cuuuteeeeee. Much more helpful to understand that some of the other videos in terms of what you guys do on set.

That suit, it's... it's incredible.

Napoleon

that was too cute!!!! Very fun to watch!

Ho Ho Ho-- hey taye!! Youre hysterical with the candy bars. Ooh someone said something b4 about these clips should be on the DVD in special features, hell yess, you guys rock my world. Can't wait for August 4th slash for the movie to actually come out<3<3<3.

p dot s dot- say hi to idina for me :-D.

NO DAY BUT NOVEMBER 11TH. much love.

melanie.

haha Taye you're amazing.

i cannot wait for the movie

ooooo soooo cute, who wouldnt love this guy, i mean come on he is sooo cute!!

luv always
katy

LOL, I just read how one girl can hear the audio, but can't see the video... well, I can see it, but don't hear a thing, maybe we should get together

I dunno, maybe I've just been watching it way too many times, but does anyone else catch this?: right after Tracie says "candy bar candy bar..i want a candy bar!" listen verry closely...is that Adam??...singing???!?!?!?!?.....eh-hem. sorry. I may just be imagining things.

Hey Taye,
I have no idea how often the RENT stars read these comments, but I wanted to thank you directly for giving us a video blog! We always love seeing the "bona fide stars such as yourself through video. I love your show, and I hope it goes through tons of seasons... I want to become a lawyer, and I love the plot of Kevin Hill. Anyway, thanks for the video and we can't wait for the movie to finally be out. Us RENTheads are so pleased that the cast is willing to write and do video blogs for us extreme fans... so thank you.

No day but today, Joyce

You are SO funny, Taye! :D

Taye you crack me up!!!!
~Heather :)

Gotta love them candy bars.

Great video blog!
And pretty funny too, hope you got the candy bar you wanted~
emilia

That was awesome! It made my day! And I'm so jealous, yes of Idina! She's a lucky gal! Thanks for this video blog Taye!

xoxoxo Shannon

That was so cute! I can't say enough how great it is that you guys are letting us see sides of your personality that we don't get to see on screen. You all seem like such awesome people, and Taye, you're adorable! I can't wait to see you on screen!

--Jenn
Bronx, NY

"I want a candy bar." Haha! I giggled when I heard that, and then Tracie was all "candy bar! candy bar!" lol

Taye, you look good in anything, so don't worry 'bout the costume!

<3

Thanks for making my day!
It's true; sometimes you just need a candy bar.

NO DAY BUT NOVEMBER 11th!!!!!!!! Amen, thanks for the humor, Taye!

Taye i love you, your the hottest man on this planet

Taye you are HOT!!! Idina is lucky!!! Thanks for taking the time to talk to all of us you big television/movie star!! that was great!!!

Did you ever get the candy bar? What kind was it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Anyone else getting the feeling that this movie can pretty much do no wrong? Seems like it is going to be super solid.

And it could've gone so badly. It's great to see something done exactly how it should be.

Taye, I hope you still get to wear the puffy coat.

I don't know what I would like more, Taye or chocolate. Idina, you are a VERY lucky girl, and then again, Taye is a VERY lucky man. I heard that Taye is slave to fashion but I had no idea. I guess a man that fine has a reputation to uphold. Good luck to you both. I can't wait to see the movie!

I'm a fan of Rent but I also love reading everyone else's comments too! Especially the guy who can't get video but gets audio and the girl who can't get audio but gets video. So cute!

Thanks for the video entry, I enjoyed it very much. I hope my marriage will be as successful as yours and Idina's. And thank you Anthony as well... I hope I will get a chance to see you again in the future!

ok.
this might not be my place to ask
but are there ever going to be some little wicked broadway babies?!
they would be absolutely gorgeous!!

cute little video blog by the way.
send idina the fan's love!!

rachi**

Hey, just wanted to say that i think all of the video blogs are so incredibly cute. I love them, even if they make me laugh at 2 AM and wake everyone in the house up. =^.^= Behold the power of Rent Blog.

As for the pants, now worries, they are a light color something eventually will be spilled on them and they will get what they deserve.
Lots-O-luv~heather

Taye, trust me, the costume looked fine ;)
Can't wait for the movie, best of luck to you and Idina! xoxox

Your wife is my idol/hero,, i love candy bars too!!

Love Always,
Idina Menzel's Number 1 Fan
Melissa R. Cox

Taye,
Everyone seems so happy on the set...I'm sure you guys are very upset that it is over! The mayhem has just begun though! Taye you would look handsome in any outfit they picked out for you! Thanks for posting!

thanks for updating us! I saw you on ellen degeneres a while back, you are absoutely hilarious. You make the PERFECT Benny. Don't worry the pants look great on you! Thanks again for updating. I can't wait till it comes out to the theaters, only 151,771 minutes!

Interesting blog. Don't worry about the clothes, they look fine. :)

Haha I guess you CAN get people to get stuff for you when you're on set, huh? Thats awesome.

We do a musical review over the summer for our high school, and around 15 of us show up and we have So much fun because almost everyone has a solo and its awesome. Well today we had this HUGE RENT conversation and we decided to stop talking about it and listen to it to warm up, so we were all dancing around on stage and since we had sang Seasons of Love for chorus, we all knew the parts and the words and everything, so we had the lights people give us cool lighting and we all stood at the edge of the stage and sang it, and it sounded so cool. Just thought I'd tell you, I had to tell someone or I'd burst from the pressure of people not knowing the amazingness that is summer theatre.

Best of luck to you August 4th, tell Idina good luck at her concerts! Which I, sadly, cannot go to. Tell her to come to Syracuse, NY! I'm sure LOADS of people would come, a lot of people at my school love you guys, we've got a lot of theatre geeks here.

Megan

are you a chocoholic like me? i would die without it lol! cute video and thanks for sharing!
jen

Megan, where do you go to school. Syracuse girl here too. I graduated from LHS 2004. I live in Rochester now going to St.John Fisher. Funny how Taye lived in Roch and went to school at SU and I'm vice versa. Strange.

-anyways, lovin Rent

Umm...does..anyone hear it?? Right after Tracie goes "candy bar candy bar! I want a candy bar!" it sounds like Adam is singing a little bit in the background. Is it just my imagination?! *sigh* I need some chocolate...

So how was he candy bar, Taye? ;)

Someone is definitely singing in the background...*listens again*

(Wow, is it sad that we're obsessed with finding out who was singing?)

Whoa! Megan! From Syracuse! Do you go to Corcoran?

haha soo cute! I'll give you some chocolate any day!:-)

You guys so rock! Thanks for all of the videos and for taking time to blog for us!

And dude, I guess Syracuse loves RENT! I live in that *cough* city too!

It may be sad and it may just be that we're watching this video too many times that we're hearing things, but I dont care!!! It's Taye, it's chocolate, and it's a faint tune in the background that sounds just like Adam's gorgeous singing voice!! *listens again*
haha wow it's 2am

11/11/05 please come soon!!!!!!

Absolutely loving these video blogs!!!Keep 'em coming!

I`m vacationing in France and can`t see the video on this computer, but I read all the comments and now I really want to go home.

I`m so awful.

Audrey

Taye you are 2 cute! hehe I cant wait to see Tracies blog! hehe 11/11/05 baby!

Heh, man, that's the life. I have to actually get up and quelch my chocolate cravings by myself - it's terrible the things I go through... ;)

Absolutely LOVING the site - so fantastic that you guys are finally making the movie in a way that Mr. Larson, every Rent castmate from around the world, and the legions of fans could be proud of, while topping it off with so kindly sharing bits of your experiences with the fans through these blogs. If I win the lottery at some point in the near future, I'd be sure to go to the premiere to cheer you all on, but I'm more of a poor starving artist (aka college student) than a Benjamin Coffin ;) Keep up the great work, guys!

-Lindsay

That is such an awesome video, Mr. Diggs! Thanks for posting it! You are so kewl! I can't wait to see Rent! You guys are gonna be so awesome!
Love always,
Mandy

Taye,
I think that you are soooo cute and real cool!! Glad to hear that you had an AWESOME time doing the movie!

Love Quinn

Hi folks.
Just wondering when on earth is the web site going to be updtaed with all the sort of stuff that 99% of other movie web sits have like Wallpaper and such like.

Can you please help.

Can't wait to see the film next Feb 06 as I live in the UK and it's not out till then.

Does anyone know what Taye is up to next after "Rent"? Is "Kevin Hill" still on the air?

Where have you all seen productions of "Rent"?

Thomas,

I've seen Broadway waaaay too many times to count, (including my usual We're OK quality time in the Nederlander bathroom), Atlantic City just to see Yaz with the Bennys, and also the Benny case in Hartford, CT.

Lots and lots of times. but its been a couple years now.

Get the man some candy!!! And some nice pants!!

adorable.
just adorable.
great to see you guys having fun on the set.
i like the outfit! haha. you look good.
have a great time..
and i hope you got your candy bar!
<3
=)

If i may quote the Bard "Nature creates art fair Taye" (i inserted the "Taye" just in case you cannot tell) so excited for the film....i am sure it will stand true to the production....have fun!

Eliana

Taye-you and Idina are wonderful- I wish you both the best of luck for the rest of the film....I cannot wait to see it!
I would send you candy but that would just be weird.
Cheers!

We cannot wait to see you play Benny!!!!!!!

Hahahaha. Aww. Yay. You, I'm sure, are FAR more stylish than Benjamin Coffin III could ever hope to be. I can't wait to see you as Benny on the big screen!

Chocolate does sound good right about now...

:D

Love Always and Forever
~Serena~

Hey Taye!

I can't wait to see you as Benny in Rent. I didn't get to see you on stage but I own the full soundtrack. I love your voice. You and Idina will be great together even though Maureen doesn't like Benny.I'm so excited for the movie!!

Melissa

I LOVE YOU TAYE!!!! Kevin Hill is great and I you made me ball my eyes out!! You do need to have kids!!! They would be so so so so SO beautiful!!!!!!!! I love that you are so into fashion!!!!

Lots of love to you and Idina!!!!

Jacquie

Hey Taye, your great! I wish you luck with Kevin Hill and the rest of Rent!

-Chloe

While they may have put you in some questionable pants, at least you don't have an Adam Bon Jovi haircut!

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait! I saw the original company three times...on the front row...b4 they started doing the lottery! LOL I wish I could say I saw the original production in the Village, but... :-/

Did I mention I am excited?

BTW...anybody know what happened to Justin the Nederlander Front of House guy responsible for the line??

Taye, you're hilarious. You're great. Ahahaha, I had to watch that 3 times in a row cuz it was so freakin' funny. My excitement level is working up every minute and I think it'll burst before long...=P

~Alex

Taye, you are awsome!!
you are so funny and i cannot wait for the movie!! I unfortunately didn't see the original cast but i have seen the play 2 times and i own the soundtrack. Your voice is AMAZING!!!!! I am so excited for the movie!!!
Hannah

Taye! I'm from Rochester and just have to say it gives me a sense of pride that you came out of Ra-cha-cha. I love your work and have to tell you that you are a true inspiration. Its great to be performing on the same stages that you did as a kid...Keep it up and remember your roots! Come back and visit us sometime when your tired of being famous.

Good Luck
-Mike

HEY Taye!
I know this is a really late post, but my internet's been down. Anyway..just saw your blog!
You are hilarious! haha. very suave. Well thank you thank you for the blog! and you were great on the Today show!
love
Chelsea

Hey Taye. I have to say,whether you believe it or not, that you look pretty good in that costume. I'm glad you're having fun. And trust me, I know what you mean; I usually feel better after a little chocolate too, LOL. Anyway, lots of love, oh and say hi to Idina for me.
***Jazzy M***

Nice video :). I understand the outfit dilemma. Well, it certainly is...unique, isn't it? Perhaps it was Benny's laundry day...

Now you have ME wanting candy.
XOXO
Naya

Hey Taye, I feel better when I have a candy bar too! haha, keep the love comin'
*~*allie*~*

Ya. Thanks Taye! Now I want a candy bar!! And I'm definately not on a movie set where someone will just get one for me!! Don't worry about the outfit. We all know that Taye Diggs is more stylish than Benny and would never where that. I totally agree though. Say hi to Idina for me!!

Mr. Diggs, you're a funny one.

hey Taye,

My speakers are broken at the moment so I am unable to hear or see what you are saying, but I just wanted to say that I think, 2 years ago, when you were filming Cake the movie in Toronto, i'm noty sure how to spell it, but in the ultimate frizbee scene you worked with my uncle, Bryan Bean, he played with you during the brakes, I had no idea and am speechless about this. Anyway just wanted to say Hi and I hope i meet you and idina soon!

Love you guys,
Caroline
