I love Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart so hopefully this movie will be pretty good. It comes out July 27th.

Looking fabulous as always!

Two of the most gorgeous and classy actresses (also two of my favorite) Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sandra Bullock looking nearly perfect as always.

Definitely a step up from that unfortunate puffy number Sandra sported last week that had her looking like a cast member from Aladdin.

Apparently our girl Christina Aguilera is on the short list for a biopic about B-Movie pin up siren Jeanne Carmen.

An internet fansite for Jeanne Carmen (jeannecarmen.com) has added Aguilera’s name to a list of actresses who are reportedly vying for the role. The bad news, however, is that there’s pretty stiff competition. Among the other names on the list are A-List actresses Scarlett Johansson and Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Carmen is known for such films as the 1950s movies Untamed Youth and War Drums.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to dust off her dancing shoes to play another great stage diva, Mama Rose. The Welsh actress, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of murderess Velma Kelly in Chicago, is tipped to play the ultimate stage mother in a remake of cult movie musical “Gypsy.”

According to New York Post columnist Liz Smith, Weinstein brothers Harvey and Bob, who championed Chicago, are behind the new project, and they’re reportedly keen for Rob Marshall to reteam with Zeta-Jones and direct.

The film will be the latest adaptation of the smash-hit Sondheim & Styne stage musical, which opened on Broadway, New York, to rave reviews in 1959 and ran for 702 performances, garnering eight Tony nominations along the way.

Revivals starring Angela Lansbury and Bernadette Peters have all been huge stage successes in New York. A 1962 film version of the musical starred Rosalind Russell as Mama Rose and Natalie Wood as her talented daughter, who becomes infamous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is in talks to star in the Harry Houdini indie biopic Death Defying Acts opposite Guy Pearce, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Described as a lavish period film, “Acts” centers on Houdini during the height of his career in 1926, when he toured the world, amassing large crowds with his elaborate and daring escape performances.

Zeta-Jones is set to play an exotic psychic with whom Houdini embarks on a passionate affair.

Directed by Gillian Armstrong (Little Women, Oscar and Lucinda), the picture is scheduled to start filming in the U.K. later this summer. Tony Grisoni and Brian Ward wrote the screenplay.

Catherine Zeta-Jones baffled guests at a New York restaurant when she waited on their tables as research for her latest film role.

The multi-talented Welsch actress even tried her hand in the kitchen of Manhattan’s acclaimed Fiamma eaterie to prepare for romance Mostly Martha, in which she plays a top chef who unexpectedly becomes the guardian of her young niece.

Cooking colleagues claim Zeta-Jones was so good at her job, she fooled all her customers.

A source tells People magazine, “One night she did a little serving. A few people said to her, ‘You look so much like Catherine Zeta-Jones’. And she said, ‘Oh, I get that all the time.’”

Her restaurant boss Michael White adds, “She’s been doing a lot in the kitchen - sautéing and cutting. She’s a great garnisher. Drizzling oil and balsamic on plates - she does a nice job.”

Michael Douglas doesn’t hold back as he comments about headline-making couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in the upcoming GQ magazine.

In the issue, hitting newsstands next week, Douglas talks about his involvement with the U.N. and making his life meaningful when he contemplates aloud about Pitt’s own “high-water mark” and his current humanitarian work.

“I don’t know about Brad Pitt, leaving that beautiful wife to go hold orphans for Angelina,” Douglas says. “I mean, how long is that going to last?”

The Oscar® winner also talks about making his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones work and sounds off on why some couples are successful while others aren’t.

“Who knows, if I hadn’t met Catherine, I might be in the trenches in L.A., in my office, and focused on producing a lot more movies and television shows,” he says. “But that’s not — I’ve been fortunate. You learn to respect something of value and nurture it and treat it well.”

He says he can’t quite figure out the quick-as-lightning Hollywood marriages. “I mean, don’t ask me what happened with Renee Zelweger,” he says. “I don’t know how you get married for four months. And Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett here must be some incredible things you find out one night. I mean, I don’t know.”

Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is reportedly being lined up to play the role of a 1960’s sex change cabaret singer in a new film.

The biopic film of a real life transsexual, April Ashley will detail how her marriage to Baron Rowallan was annulled in a landmark court case, reports the New York Post.
