Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones spent Saturday night at Soney Pictures in Culver City to attend the third annual “A Fine Romance,” event. Catherine hosted the event along with co-host Hugh Jackman. Also in attendence were Audra McDonald, Dick Van Dyke, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth, Chita Rivera, Shirley MacLaine, Raul Esparza and Jamie Campbell Bower. The press release for the event said:

“More than 500 entertainment industry executives and talent gathered for the event that featured performances of songs from movies that became Broadway musicals and Broadway musicals that have become movies. The theme for the event was based on the book “A Fine Romance” by longtime MPTF supporter Darcie Denkert.”

There are few greater examples of a real romance than Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Catherine Zeta-Jones knew what she wanted out of life and it was more than ostentatious hair treatments. The girl can drive a hard bargain.

When she was dating Michael Douglas, she was firm about her desire for a family. The Mirror reports:

Catherine, 37, said: "I turned to him and asked, ‘Do you really want children?’ I thought for one minute he was going to say, ‘I already have a son, Cameron.’

"I would then have had to say goodbye. I remember saying defiantly, ‘I can’t live without having children’. And he went, ‘Me too’," she added in an interview with Parade magazine.

Perhaps she thought that was her escape clause. Something along the lines of "Sorry, you face-lifted old man, I would love to marry you, but I’m young, gorgeous and I want a beautiful family."

Unfortunately for the glossy-haired Zeta-Jones, the cruel trick of human physiology is that even mummified men can impregnate their wenches and silence the ticking of the biological clock. And some have the ego to want to.

Playing catch with the kiddies? That’s another story.

Catherine Zeta-Jones spent the weekend with her husband Michael Douglas at the Friends Celebrity Golf Event in Palos Verdes. Stars such as Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, and many more, participated. The event helps people in need of health and community services.

Catherine and Michael look so happy together. Love is in the air.

What are Michael Stipe and Michael Douglas doing together? They spent some time together, and grabbed an ice cream cone on the Italian island of Ponzo.

The two performers caused quite a stir in the sleepy harbour town of Ponza Porto as they checked out some of the local shops. And the renowned musician and his actor friend also took time out to indulge in a sweet treat in a local ’gelateria’ or ice cream shop, much to the delight of the other holidaymakers who enjoyed an unexpected brush with stardom.

Michael Douglas Today, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas attended the celebratory opening of phase one of the Cardiff-based Children’s Hospital for Wales. The family: Catherine Zeta-Jones, 36, husband Michael Douglas, 61, son Dylan Michael Douglas, 5, and Carys Zeta Douglas, 3, stayed at Saint David’s Hotel and Spa in Cardiff. “My Welsh roots are extremely important to me. Even though I now live overseas, they are never forgotten. My memory of a happy childhood serves me well and gives me a clear insight into what every child in Wales has the right to. I’m only too aware that not all children are as lucky as I was growing up and I feel very strongly about the aims and objectives of the appeal and want to do everything I can to ensure that every child is loved, valued and able to reach their potential. As an adult and especially as parents, the thought of children being abused is unacceptable to Michael and myself and this simply has to stop. I feel it is important to bring my support to the Full Stop Appeal (campaign to stop cruelty to children) and help to raise the funds needed to continue the NSPCC’s (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) vital work which it undertakes to end cruelty to children across Wales. The Full Stop message is clear – child protection is everyone’s responsibility. I hope by adding my support and becoming involved it will encourage others to do so too.” Catherine Zeta-Jones made that statement at a charity dinner in Cardiff last night. This is a very happy couple, and a strong family. They set such a good example. It can happen, even in Hollywood.
