A love for the ages. As Denzel Washington celebrates his 41st wedding anniversary with wife Pauletta, a source exclusively reveals to Closer the Oscar winner “can’t imagine life without her.” Things weren’t always so rosy for the 69-year-old and his wife. “He was dogged by persistent cheating rumors 20 years ago, which he denied,” says the source.

Some days it feels like all restaurant news is bad news. While things will eventually turn up and new restaurants will move in (especially as the months begin to cool off), it has been a rough couple of months for the industry around greater Phoenix. Multiple times a week a new story comes out about a restaurant, either a few years old or a long-time resident, being forced to close up shop for one reason or another. The list of closed restaurants marches on, with a Scottsdale restaurant deciding it needed to make the final call and pull the plug.

The Arizona Weatherman likes to try local restaurants in his area. Today, the author feasted on a good-sized burrito at the 86 Café. This café is located at 700 E 4th St, Benson, Arizona, across the street from the Napa auto parts store in town. Caution: If you use Google Maps, it will direct you to 700 W 4th St, which is about a mile and a half away from the establishment. It's not an issue for the locals, but if you are coming in off the I-10, that could cause some confusion.
