I can not believe that the major networks are making such a big thing of the engagement of Michael Douglas and Katherine Zeta Jones.
I don’t even know who this chick is. I have heard the name before, but I really could care less if she was marrying the governor of Florida or some bum off the streets.
Why must our media take the most mundane crap and hype it like it’s big news?
Hmmm, I didn’t even know they were engaged!
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.
I’ve somewhere along the line missed the big “announcement”. I’m like you, WHO CARES!
I always thought that was his daughter in the pics. Silly me…

Because most people eat this stuff up. Many people (no matter how dopey) = ratings = money.
Here’s a neat site about how stupid TV can be: http://www.tstonramp.com/~markj/smash/main.html

That’s Woody Allen!
It may have something to do with the fact that C Z-J is certifiably HOT, and Michael Douglas is 3 times her age. In other words, lust combined with horror and jealousy.
Not that I give a monkey’s either, but Catherine Zeta Jones is pretty famous over here. She was in a very popular TV series a few years ago called The Darling Buds of May. I never saw it (I was a student at the time and didn’t have a TV) but I think it was based on the short stories of H. E. Bates.
Ahhh now I remember… Woody and his Willybird are widdlin and wooin the young woman

I know what you mean. It bored the piss outta me seeing the breakup of Ted Turner and Jane Fonda on the FRONT PAGE of USA Today. It was also featured on CNN Headline News.
This is, of course, far more important than several hundred or thousand people getting killed in some place across the world. Apparently, THAT news is so useless it can usually be found on page A-16.
Gotta love this country…
I remember a time when Journalism was exactly that… journalism. News was news and this stuff was back in the entertainment and society section. I guess as long as people keep buying it, they will keep putting it out this way.
Hmmm I think I have just dated myself in this thread. LOL
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
I don’t know why Catherine Zeta-Jones is marrying that old fart when she can have me instead. What the hell is she thinking?

It didn’t make front-page news here (my God, the Washington Post? of course not!), but was in the Post’s gossip column. Isn’t she the one who was in the Mask of Zorro with Anthony Banderas? I find it interesting only in that (1) he’s aging fast and looks it, and (2) he (like Clinton and so many others) can’t seem to keep it in his pants (the reason for his marriage breakup), and I give this marriage a couple years before she kicks his ass out for philandering. (BTW, the Post gossip noted that because he is so much wealthier than she, the lawyers are drawing up a pre-nup.)
Yep…the big news behind this story is that he is at least twice her age…but…she is the one that chased him down…while he was still married…almost to the point of stalking him…most people don’t think the marriage will last because he is still hung up on his wife and hasn’t gotten over her yet…they were married a long time…

I knew her feelings would be hurt when I said no, but I didn’t realize it would completely unhinge her.
I’m sorry.

The worst are full of passionate intensity.

Huh? Hollywood, they marry for salary. IN other words, paring with the right people can make you more money. Look at Prince. I mean, really. Or Richard Gere [did anyone think it made him look straighter?].
If you’re an older guy with a wallet, you can marry a younger woman easily. Doesn’t mean they have sex. [IE M. Jackson’s sister]
Let’s not exaggerate on the difference in ages. Michael Douglas is 55 and Catherine Zeta-Jones is 30. They were both born on September 25th, incidentally.
Wendell,
that is almost the EXACT age difference between my father and I (shudders). Ughh!!
Enough said!!
It’s five years more than the gap between me and either of my parents.
But the real questions is… she’s all gorgeous and stuff… and he is uglier than a sack of assholes, and he always has been. I just don’t get it.
