Michael Douglas says his ‘happier’ second marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones is ‘good for the children’
Written by Jess on October 31, 2011 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.

Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe & Catherine Zeta-Jones’ ‘Broken City’ Hits January 18, 2013
Written by Jess on October 31, 2011 While January is generally considered a dumping ground for studio leftovers, don’t tell that to Mark Wahlberg. His upcoming thriller “Contraband” is slated for release on January 13, 2012 and it looks like the actor wants to keep starting off your year with a bang, because he’s got another film a year later, pretty much right in the same frame.
The crime noir “Broken City” co-starring Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones will now land on January 18, 2013 via 20th Century Fox who have acquired the film, reports THR. Set to be directed by Allen Hughes, the dark tale follows Billy Taggart (Wahlberg), an ex-cop thrown off the force after shooting a 16-year-old kid. Eight years on, he’s working as a private detective and is hired by the colorful incumbent in the New York mayoral race to investigate his wife’s infidelity. Taggart, however, digs up much, much more including a shady real estate deal in a story of city corruption that is not unlike “Chinatown.” Crowe will play the mayor, with Zeta-Jones as his philandering wife. But the movie will have some big competition that weekend.
Lionsgate has already slated “The Last Stand” with Arnold Schwarzenegger for that date, so somebody is gonna have to blink as they will be playing right to the same crowd. But there is still plenty of time for release date jostling to happen. This is another high profile flick to go to the typically awful early winter frame. Tom Cruise‘s “One Shot” is another straight genre piece that will be arriving on February 8, 2013. With summer dates now getting more and more competitive, it seems studios are trying to find gaps in the calendar where they can have a bit more breathing room to play as evidenced by the move of “Thor 2” to November 15, 2013. Whether this roll of the dice will pay off remains to be seen—those pesky students are still in school and not looking to occupy their time. But it’s the mark of a trend that is worth keeping an eye on.

Catherine Zeta-Jones movie could go direct-to-video
Written by Jess on May 07, 2011 When Catherine Zeta-Jones recently stepped back from public life because of bipolar disorder, it also highlighted an absence for the actress from somewhere else: the movie screen. Her cougar-themed movie, “The Rebound,” has been stuck in release limbo for nearly two years.Zeta-Jones is back to work — she turned out recently to the set of her new comedy “Playing the Field” and is set to star in the film version of “Rock of Ages.” But fans hoping to see the Oscar winner back on the big screen in “The Rebound” could be in for a long wait. The Film Department — the company that financed the movie and, after attempting to sell rights, had been raising money to distribute the picture itself in the fall — has announced that it will be closing its doors.
That means that plans to bring out the film in the coming months have been scotched. For the film to be released at all, a buyer would need to acquire it — something none did when it was initially peddled in 2009. Even then, it’s very possible the movie would be released direct to digital or DVD platforms, acknowledged Film Department founder Mark Gill. (The company also has a completed Kate Hudson film called “A Little Bit of Heaven,” a $16-million romantic comedy that Gill said he hopes to sell to a theatrical distributor.)
Directed by Bart Freundlich and shot in 2008, ”Rebound” is an inter-generational romance in which Zeta-Jones plays a single New York mother who falls for a younger man (Justin Bartha). Bartha has some box-office value — he stars in the upcoming “The Hangover Part II” — and the movie (which has been released internationally) taps into a vogue for cougars.
But privately, several movie distributors have said the asking price has been too high given the quality of the film.
While the movie doesn’t seem likely to approach the infamous territory of “Margaret,” a Matt Damon drama that has languished unseen by audiences since 2005, it remains a curious asterisk in the career of Zeta-Jones.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Is Back to Work with a Smile
Written by Jess on April 20, 2011 Catherine Zeta-Jones is back in action and looking great.
The actress, 41, who revealed that she’d been diagnosed with and treated for bipolar II disorder, is already back to work – and beaming.
Zeta-Jones appeared to be all smiles Wednesday on the Shreveport, Louisiana, set of the comedy Playing the Field, which also stars Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler.
She’s also already lined up her next project: Zeta-Jones has signed on to star in the film version of Rock of Ages, PEOPLE confirms. She’ll play the wife of the L.A. mayor, a conservative character who wants to do away with rock and roll, according to Deadline.com.
