EDIT: The film “Lay the Favourite” will premiere Jan. 21 in Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival.

HOLLYWOOD actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas have hosted a glittering birthday party for a show business friend in New York.

The guests at the 80th birthday party for theatre and film producer Marty Richards included screen legend Robert De Niro and his wife Grace.

Douglas, 67, is a cousin of Richards’ late wife, Marylea Johnson.

Douglas and Swansea-born Catherine, 42, were the “honorary chairs” of the party and welcomed guests to the venue, the Rubin Art Museum in New York’s plush Chelsea district.

As well as DeNiro and wife, other guests included Chicago director Rob Marshall (Marty Richards being the producer of the stage musical and the movie in which Zeta Jones won an Oscar), actor and comedian Steve Guttenberg, plus Broadway star Lilias White and a host of other actors, actresses and well known personalities.

A telegram of congratulations was also read out at the bash from New York mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Marty Richards has been a longtime supporter of the Mary Lea Johnson Richards Transplant Centre in New York in memory of his late wife. The unit opened in 1990, a year after MaryLea’s death, and has been a leader in liver and kidney transplant work.

Proceeds from the party will go towards the unit’s work and research.

Catherine Zeta-Jones wore a stunning black dress and red heels for the party, while Douglas wore a navy tuxedo, white shirt and red tie.

Friends commented on how relaxed and happy Douglas and Zeta-Jones looked after rocky times.

In August 2010 Douglas announced he had throat cancer and last year Zeta-Jones revealed she was being treated for a mild form of bipolar disorder.

Her publicist Cece Yorke said she had sought treatment at a “mental health facility” after the stress of Michael’s illness triggered the disorder.

She said: “After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder”.

Also last year Douglas’s son Cameron was jailed for drugs offences.

But after Douglas announced his recovery from cancer this time last year both got back to work.

He is currently promoting his latest movie Haywire, which will be released on January 20.

The action film has an all-star cast which includes Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas and Michael Fassbender.

Zeta-Jones has been involved in a number of movies recently including her latest project Lay the Favorite co-starring Bruce Willis.

She plays Bruce Willis’s wife in the comedy drama, about a group of middle-aged men who find a way to work the sportsbook system in Las Vegas for their financial gain.

She has also completed filming on comedy Playing The Field, in which she appears alongside an all-star cast of Gerard Butler, Uma Thurman, Dennis Quaid and Jessica Biel.

She also stars in the eagerly-awaited movie musical Rock of Ages.

Catherine plays Patricia Whitmore in the big-screen adaptation, whose plans to transform the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles is opposed by rock enthusiasts played by Russell Brand, Julianne Hough and Alec Baldwin.

Tom Cruise also stars as past-it rock god Stacee Jaxx.

Catherine is currently filming crime thriller Broken City with Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe in New York.

Douglas and Zeta Jones have just returned from a New Year holiday in the sun in Panama with their children Dylan, 11 and Carys, eight.

Catherine Zeta Jones goes back to her musical roots in the trailer for her new film Rock of Ages.

The Swansea star rocks out in the 80s inspired musical blockbuster in which she plays villain Patricia Whitmore.

In the trailer, released this week, Catherine wears fantastic 80s power suits, including a rather lovely peach outfit, and looks feisty as the villain who is hoping to shut down Dennis Dupree’s (Alec Baldwin) beloved Bourbon Room and clean up the Hollywood’s Sunset Strip.

Catherine, 42, stars alongside Tom Cruise, 48, who plays rock star Stacee Jaxx, and a bulging cast that also includes Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand, Watchmen actress Malin Akerman, Pretty Little Liars actor Diego Gonzalez Boneta, and Mary J. Blige.

The film is based on the hit Broadway musical, which features classic 80s hair rock hits from bands like Def Leppard, Journey, Bon Jovi, and Twisted Sister.

The film is directed by Hairspray’s Adam Shankman, who directed the musical film remake of Hairspray, and is set for release on June 1, 2012.

Catherine has had a prolific year when it comes to movie making, despite personal troubles including husband Michael Douglas’ battle with cancer and her own treatment for bipolar II disorder in April.

As well as Rock of Ages with Tom Cruise, she’s filmed Playing the Field with Gerard Butler and Lay The Favorite with Bruce Willis.

She has also just completed filming for Broken City, in which she stars alongside Mark Wahlberg as the philandering wife of the New York City mayor, played by Russell Crowe.

DOUBLE Oscar-winner Michael Douglas says his “happier” marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones is good for the couple’s children.

The 67-year-old Hollywood actor was speaking to friend Alec Baldwin in a new series of star interviews Baldwin is doing for US radio station WNYC.

During the frank talk, Douglas spoke of his heartbreak over his son Cameron, 32, who is serving five years in prison for drug dealing and possession.

He said he felt his son’s drug problems might be genetic, adding: “I think there’s a certain genetic part, and I think as far as drug addiction, your peer group plays a huge part.”

Douglas said his experience with his younger children from his second marriage to 42-year-old Welsh star Zeta-Jones, Dylan, 11, and Carys, seven, was very different.

He said this was partly because the world had changed, but also because he was in “a happier marriage”.

Douglas, whose 23-year marriage to first wife Diandra ended in 2000, added: “Secrets play a part in this, in the fact that whether it’s a bad marital relationship that you’re trying to keep from your children and the tension is there and you’re not really kind of up-front.
