Stalking Catherine - Apr 05
A woman accused of stalking Catherine Zeta Jones has pleaded ’no contest’ in the courts. Psychology student Dawnette Knight allegedly sent numerous threats to the star but in court insisted that she had nothing more than a ’girlish crush’ on Catherine’s husband, Michael Douglas. Apparently Michael and his father, movie legend Kirk Douglas, had tried to protect Catherine from finding out about the threats, but the star found out and, as she told the court, "I’ve never had anyone say anything to me so satanic." Knight is to be observed for ninety days before returning to court for sentencing.

Filming troubles - Apr 05
Catherine Zeta Jones’ pet project has been put on hold. The movie, set in the star’s native Wales, has run in to problems due to the ailing dollar.

The shooting has now been rescheduled for later in the year.

Catherine ’Boozer’ Jones - Nov 04
Catherine proved she can hold her drink on the set of her new film Ocean’s 12.

Co-star Brad Pitt was full of admiration for the Welsh beauty, saying ’The great thing about Catherine is there is this great beauty and elegance but at the same time, she’ll drink any one of you under the table." Catherine will star as Brad’s love interest in the sequel to the highly successful remake of Ocean’s 11.

Catherine loses property battle - March 04
Do this couple spend any time out of court? In the latest tussle of life vs The Douglas’, it turns out they have lost their Welsh property battle.

CZJ was trying to stop her neighbour from running his computer business near her luxury home in Mumbles. The Swansea council have allowed Steve Gwyn to work from home, even though CZJ said it may affect her privacy. But the judge rules that if the celeb couple wanted more privacy, she should have built her ?2 million mansion in a more secluded part of Wales.

But as ever with Mr and Mrs Douglas, the case may not be over. They have threatened to take the row to the High Court, according to The Sun.

The Douglas’s Do Dance - Feb 04
Michael Douglas has revealed to an American teen magazine that he and wife Catherine Zeta Jones are planning to work together in a remake of a 1950’s musical.

Zeta Jones won an Oscar for her role in all singing, all dancin’ hit Chicago, but it appears Michael’s moves leave a lot to be desired. Not that it bothers him - apparently they don’t care whether it’s a box office smash, they just want to ’enjoy working together’. Aahhh. By Hannah Mills

Biography

Born on September 25 1969 in Swansea Catherine Zeta Jones, who grew up in Mumbles, was the daughter of a sweet factory owner.  She left school to persue an acting career without gaining any formal qualifications, going on to star in 42nd Street in London’s West End in 1987.  Soon after she appeared in her feature film debut, a French adaptation of 1001 Nights.  However it was on the small screen that Catherine made her name in the UK, stealing the show in an ITV version of H.E Bates’ The Darling Buds of May.

She went on to appear in numerous little noticed films and series’, including a made for TV film, Titanic, and comic book movie The Phantom, alongside Billy Zane.  It was around this time that she was picked to star with Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro and Sean Connery in Entrapment.  These films would make Catherine in to the Hollywood star we know today.

In 2000 she starred in Stephen Soderburgh’s Traffic with her future husband Michael Douglas.  When they married later that year there was much critcism of the age difference (Douglas being 25 years her senior), however their marriage continues to go from strength to strength and they now have two children, Dylan (born in 2000) and Cerys (born in 2003).

Between babies and awards ceremonies CZJ has made a real name for herself as a leading lady in films such as The Terminal, Ocean’s Eleven and America’s Sweethearts.  She has also won an Oscar for her all-singing, all-dancing part in musical Chicago whilst also working as spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden.
