Song and Dance Act -20/03/03
Being eight and a half months pregnant will not stop Catherine from performing a song and a dance on stage at the Oscars.

She is going to perform a duet with co-star Queen Latifah, which is normally enough to get the attention from the audience. However, there is the added drama of possibly an early labour for Catherine - as the extra activity may bring on the baby! There will be a full medical crew waiting in the wings, just in case.
