Rumored Projects

NEW YORK (CBS) Catherine Zeta-Jones says she’s angry that doctor’s didn’t discover husband Michael Douglas’ cancer diagnosis sooner.Douglas is currently undergoing radiation and chemotherapy to treat a walnut-sized tumor at the base of his tongue.

The actor said he spent months seeking attention for persistent ear and throat pain, but that no cause was found until he received the cancer diagnosis in early August.

“It makes me furious they didn’t detect it earlier,” Zeta-Jones told People magazine in an interview published in Friday’s issue. “He sought every option and nothing was found.”

Douglas and Zeta-Jones have been married for 10 years and have two children together, Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7.

The actor announced his diagnosis on August 16.

Zeta-Jones told the magazine that she struggles with watching her husband become fatigued due to the radiation and chemotherapy, which Douglas said “really knocks you out.”

“I know maybe I should be stronger, but emotionally I just don’t want to see that,” she said, later adding, “The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.”

In his first appearance following the announcement of his diagnosis, Douglas told “Late Show” host David Letterman on Tuesday that while his disease was late “stage four,” the cancer remains above the neck and that means expectations are good, with an 80 percent or better chance of recovery.

Catherine Zeta Jones and Angelina Jolie are competing to play Dame Elizabeth Taylor in a Hollywood blockbuster about her love life, according to reports.Industry sources have named Russell Crowe, the New Zealand actor, Briton Clive Owen and Colin Farrell, the Irish star, as possible Burtons.

Mike Nichols, the Oscar winning American director, reportedly wants to make the film, which would be based on the book “Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century”.

Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger, the husband and wife who wrote the book, were given unprecedented access to a series of love letters written by Burton to Taylor during the course of their two marriages.

They were also given an unpublished first draft of Taylor’s 1965 autobiography, as well as a portfolio of the screen siren’s favourite personal photographs, which are reproduced in the book.

Hollywood sources told the US TV show Entertainment Tonight that both Jolie, 35, and Zeta Jones, 40, had expressed an interest in playing Taylor.

Jolie has already been lined up to take on Taylor’s most famous role as Cleopatra.

It was while making the 1963 epic that Taylor met and fell in love with Burton.

She was already married and their public affair was condemned by the Vatican.

After divorcing Eddie Fisher, her third husband, in 1964, she married Welsh-born Burton.

Their stormy marriage lasted ten years, with Burton lavishing jewels and other extravagant gifts on his wife.

A year after their 1974 divorce, the couple wed again, but this time the union lasted just ten months.

Taylor went on to marry twice more. Now 78, she lives alone in Beverly Hills, California, and suffers from ill health.

Burton died aged 58 from a brain haemorrhage at his home in Switzerland.

We think CZJ is fantastic at 40 and in her new movie The Rebound she is looking better than ever as she lands herself a sexy younger man in the shape of Justin Bartha (The Hangover). We thought it the perfect time to explore the meteoric rise of gorgeous girl from the Valleys from TV starlet to Hollywood A-lister to award-winning actress.
