Michael Douglas Calls the Kettle Black...

MichaelDouglas.jpg

Are there classes--like "Opening mouth, inserting foot 101" or "How to revive a flailing career or image"-- that celebs must take? Last year it was Tom Cruise on Oprah, then Tom Cruise chastizing Brooke Shields and psychology; this year we have former Basic Instinct stars trying to rage against the dying of the light (also known as obscurity in Hollywood).

If you haven't heard, Sharon Stone will be posing nude in the Basic Insinct sequel. Yeah yeah. Naked. Whatever. And now, her co-star Michael Douglas is trying to drum up his own publicity for his latest flick by picking on some A-list celebs like Brad Pitt and Angelina, Renee Zellweger and Julia Roberts. Way to make friends, Mike!

According to an Associated Press story:

"I don't know about Brad Pitt, leaving that beautiful wife to go hold orphans for Angelina," Douglas snipes in GQ's April issue, hitting newsstands March 21.

"I mean, how long is that going to last?"

Pitt and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston divorced in October 2005. Since then, Pitt has adopted Jolie's children, Maddox and Zahara, and is expecting a child with the bombshell actress this summer... The 61-year-old Douglas also took swipes at actresses Renee Zellweger and Julia Roberts: "I mean, don't ask me what happened with Renee Zellweger. I don't know how you get married for four months. And Julia with Lyle."

Unfortunately, the AP story doesn't delve into how Douglas has such an authoritative voice on the subject. So for those of you who are young enough to know Douglas only as Mr. Catherine Zeta-Jones, here's his background in a nutshell from Wikipedia:

In 2000, after 23 years of marriage, Diandra divorced Douglas, complaining of his womanizing, absenteeism, and not being a proper father to Cameron. That same year, Douglas married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is exactly 25 years younger than he is. Douglas has been married to Zeta-Jones since November 18, 2000. They have two children, Dylan (born 2000-08-08) and Carys (born 2003-04-20).

Mike, maybe you should take the "Mind your own business class" and skip the second semester of that foot-in-mouth class. Just a suggestion.

Hilarious!

The old codger thinks himself fit to judge others? This IS the same old fart who married a woman who smoked until her last month of pregnancy? (Recall her looking like a heiffer on her balconey puffing away?) This is the same old geezer who had a facelift last summer? Same old loser whose wife is taking eight years off her real age? Same old slob whose son is in and out of drug rehab thanks to Dad's years of neglect and maltreatment of wife Diandra? Nice job, Michael!

how dear U talk about others when U ve not cleaned urs own house.
remove the log on ure eyes b/4 taking out the one in other pples eyes u monkey'

Are U show ure not going to have the next hollywood breakup?

for your information those kids are not orphans,they are her adopted kids which makes her their parents doomy.
Dont say what U dont know about,go work on ure marriage.

What an immature guy to make a statement about those kids calling them "orphans". What a disgrace!!! How dare he makes himself like a peace keeper at the UN summit and then turned his head and called Angie's kids orphan. Shame shame!! Obviously his kids are just tooo boring so he feels the urge to bash on other people kids. Disgusting!!!

How dare you, Michael Douglas! Angelina paid good money for those kids!

Special note to the geniuses above: This is a website, not your dumbass Razr phone. Learn to spell because you're too old to be cute and adopted by crazy actress types.

And to think the older you get the wiser. If you live in a glass house don't throw stones. You are not a hot topic anymore and feel comfortable to talk about poor oprhans, anywhere in the world, you should be proud! That statement made him look stupid and ignorant if I was his wife I would put my head in a paper bag!

Catherine Zeta-Jones SHOULD put her head in a bag, but not because of her saggy husband. Do you recall the picture that circulated on the net for months? She was smoking in her ninth month! But then her OLD MAN threatened hundreds of websites with legal action if they did not "cease and desist" immediately. They did. I've had four kids and I can't imagine smoking during pregnancy. She should be jailed for child abuse!

They have no face to talk about anyone. Catherine Zeta-Jones has been pulling a fast one on the United States for years. Put it this way, Michael Douglas is not nearly all that much older than her as people presume. According to her own countryment and former classmates, she was well into her 30's when she did Darling Buds in 1990. Many people think that Zeta-Jones is actually close to 50, if not past. If you can find a photo of her that is not totally airbrushed, especially where she is not wearing makeup, and you can really see her age. Vanidades is really good at catching genuine shots of her. I should also mention that when they do catch her unawares, she always looks disturbingly depressed.

In fact, here is proof of Zeta-Jone's advanced age. Or at least proof of all the WORK the liar has had.
