Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas turned the Cannes Film Festival into a family affair. The couple brought their 20-year-old daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas, to the "Jeanne du Barry" screening and opening ceremony on May 16. After walking the red carpet arm in arm, the trio posed together on the staircase at the Palais des Festivals, with Catherine and Carys both kissing Michael on the cheek as he beamed with joy. Michael was also photographed looking on proudly as the paparazzi snapped pictures of his daughter.
The family dressed to the nines for the famously glamorous event. Catherine and Carys subtly coordinated by each wearing Elie Saab gowns - the former chose a red plunging design with a flowing cape, while the latter stunned in a white sheer number with side cutouts. The mother-daughter pair also both accessorized with Sarah Flint heels and Chopard jewelry. Michael looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo,...

The skies over Mallorca last summer were so busy that only the banking hub of Geneva bested them for private jets. So says Elliot Krauze, who runs the high-end local concierge firm Milagro. Since moving to the island from the U.K. seven years ago, he’s watched it transform from a fly-and-flop spot for package-holidaying Brits and Germans to the Mediterranean’s discreet, elite island, equal parts Sardinia and Capri. “It’s a real mixture of new and old money,” Krauze explains. “Our business is catering to all those people.” Just don’t go there for a showy getaway, cautions London-based fashion exec Daisy Hoppen, who has long had a family home in the countryside.

Catherine Zeta-Jones may be the matriarch of a notorious family in "Wednesday," but her real-life family is also pretty one of a kind. Zeta-Jones is married to fellow megastar Michael Douglas, and the couple attended the premiere of his newest Marvel movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," on Feb. 6 with their son Dylan in tow.
At the event, Douglas told People that starring in the Ant-Man movies has helped him score some points with his kids. "At my point, I have a whole other generation," he said. "Most of the movies I did were R-rated, a lot of them, so all of a sudden to have pictures that actually kids know you from . . . It's reassuring."

Kathleen Turner has recalled a potential relationship she almost had with former co-star Michael Douglas.
The actor appeared alongside the actor in three films in the 1980s. These were Robert Zemeckis’s 1984 adventure film Romancing the Stone, its sequel Jewel of the Nile (1985) and 1989 comedy The War of the Roses.
In a new interview, Turner, 68, said that her friendship with Douglas, 78, almost became romantic.
While the pair were filming Romancing the Stone in 193, Turner was single while Douglas was spearated from Diandra Luker, his first wife.
“I think we might have been falling in love,” Turner told The Guardian.
“But then Diandra flew down and made it clear that she did not consider Michael to be available.”
Turner continued: “So that ended that because I can’t get involved with another woman’s relationship. But oh my, that attention is delicious.”

We’ve finally seen the latest addition to the Kardashian family and the Khloe/ Lamar will they/won’t they split is getting old but there’s no way this family is staying out of the limelight. The latest ‘drama’ to hit to clan exclusively announced through E! is that Bruce and Kris Jenner have separated after 22 years of marriage: “We are living separately and we are much happier this way,” the two stated. “…We will always have much love and respect for each other…” Rumors of an impending split have been circulating for months but the family have constantly denied the stories.

In the past couple of days, cunnilingus has made a comeback (pun intended).

Michael Douglas' ex-wife Diandra Douglas has vowed to fight a ruling banning them from visiting their son in prison for the next two years, branding it "harsh" and "unjust".
Cameron Douglas is currently serving a five-year prison term after being convicted of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and one count of cocaine possession, relating to a drug bust in 2009.
He was recently given an additional four-and-a-half years for smuggling narcotics into his prison cell, and the judge overseeing the case also banned Cameron from receiving any family visits for two years.
However, his mother Diandra, who divorced the Hollywood actor in 2000, is furious about the sentence and has vowed to appeal.
She tells the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "Cameron was used because of his famous last name to set an example of ruthless punishment... Humans - and certainly my son - are by their very nature in need of other human contact to maintain mental health...
"We will appeal this sentence... It is way too harsh and unjust. I have not been allowed to see Cameron for the past two months or speak to him. My only communication has been through the mail...
"Two years with no family visitation, with only one call out per month. The hope and love that Cameron receives from his family visits, I believe, is what sustains him through these unbearable times... We boost his self-esteem, of which he has been totally robbed."...

Washington, Dec 22: Michael Douglas' son Cameron has been sentenced to an additional 4 and a half more years in jail on top of his current five-year prison sentence for drug dealing.
The 33-year-old troubled son of the Oscar-winning actor was sentenced in April 2010 for drug trafficking but got the additional term, which was more than twice what prosecutors were seeking for possessing drugs while in prison.
"I feel ashamed," Fox News quoted the actor's son as saying.

About a year ago when Michael Douglas was in the middle of chemotherapy for a tumor in his throat, his ex-wife, Diandra Douglas, took the actor to court over claims that she is entitled to half his earnings from "Wall Street 2." The two haven't been married for over ten years and in the divorce Diandra received around $45 million, in addition to houses in Beverly Hills and Majorca. At the time, Michael's lawyer stated: "It's enough. It's time for Ms. Douglas to move on and let Mr. Douglas move on and enjoy his life, without having to concern himself with someone trying to claw back moneys that they're not entitled to." Now comes word that a New York court has denied Diandra to receive half of Michael's earnings from "Wall Street 2." This was already her second attempt to get the money, but she once again plans to appeal.

Michael Douglas' ex-wife yesterday lost -- yet again -- a bid to get a load of loot from her ex's performance in "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps."
The Manhattan judge who last year rejected Diandra Douglas' effort to sue Oscar-winner Michael in New York for half of the millions he earned from the follow-up to the 1987 hit "Wall Street" rejected her request to overturn the original ruling.
Justice Matthew Cooper again said that Diandra's claims that their divorce settlement entitles her to such cash should be heard in a court in California, where they split in 2000.

New York -- The clash between Michael Douglas and his ex-wife over his "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" earnings is back for another, nastier run in a New York court.
Lawyers for both sides traded barbs Tuesday over Diandra Douglas' continuing efforts to get half the Academy Award-winning actor's take from the 2010 movie.
A New York judge threw out her lawsuit in November, saying the dispute belonged in California, where the couple divorced in 2000 after 23 years together. Her lawyers asked the judge Tuesday to reconsider.
With Diandra Douglas looking on, the actor's lawyer noted his recent fight with throat cancer and said his ex "should be ashamed of herself" for seeking more money when she's gotten more than $51 million from him in the divorce and her stake in some earnings afterward. Her lawyers, meanwhile, mentioned his recent purchase of a $5 million-plus home near New York and his children's private schools.

Michael Douglas' lawyers blasted the "audacity" of the star's ex-wife in a New York court on Tuesday, April 12, as Diandra Douglas continued her quest to land 50 percent of the actor's salary from the "Wall Street" sequel.
Diandra, who divorced Douglas in 2000, is seeking a share of the actor's pay check from his 2010 movie "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps". She claims their divorce deal entitled her to half her ex-husband's profits from projects he worked on during their marriage, and any possible "spin-offs" of his previous films, including the original 1987 "Wall Street".
The case was dismissed at Manhattan's Supreme Court in November 2010 after a judge ruled the Big Apple was not the right jurisdiction to hear the case, as the former couple divorced in California. Diandra, who is selling her sprawling California home, vowed to appeal, and she appeared in court on Tuesday to continue fighting her case.

Michael Douglas' lawyers blasted the "audacity" of the star's ex-wife in a New York court on Tuesday as Diandra Douglas continued her quest to land 50 per cent of the actor's salary from the Wall Street sequel.

She claims their divorce deal entitled her to half her ex-husband's profits from projects he worked on during their marriage, and any possible "spin-offs" of his previous films, including the original 1987 Wall Street.
The case was dismissed at Manhattan's Supreme Court in November after a judge ruled the Big Apple was not the right jurisdiction to hear the case, as the former couple divorced in California.
Diandra - who is selling her sprawling California home - vowed to appeal, and she appeared in court on Tuesday to continue fighting her case.
Douglas' lawyer, Marilyn Chinitz, blasted the star's ex-wife, telling the court, "This is not a case that has merit. This is a case of who has the deep pockets. We don't have to feel sorry for a woman who's going to sell her house for $30 million on top of everything else she's received."
Diandra's legal representative Nancy Chemtob claimed Douglas, who fought cancer last year, failed to reveal to court officials that his primary residence is a property in Bedford, New York, an issue which could affect future hearings.
But Chinitz hit back at Chemtob, saying, "The documents are in California. The witnesses are in California. Mr. Douglas is cancer-stricken, tragically, and she has the audacity to imply that we misled the court."
Speaking after the hearing, which Douglas did not attend, Diandra told the New York Daily News, "I've always behaved as a lady and I always intend to do so in the future."...

Michael Douglas' ex-wife says she went after a bigger piece of his fortune only because fraudsters Bernie Madoff and Kenneth Starr stole hers.
Diandra Douglas -- who got a reported $45 million in her 2000 divorce from the Oscar-winning actor -- says her bank account took a bruising after she invested in Madoff's Ponzi scheme through a feeder fund, and because she'd used client-swindler Starr as her business manager.

New York, NY, United States (Ahn Entertainment) - Michael Douglas' ex-wife is going after his "Wall Street 2" money because she lost her million divorce settlement to fraudsters. Diandra Douglas said she got swindled by accountant Kenneth Starr, who is currently in jail for ripping off his celebrity clients of millions of dollars.
Diandra filed suit against the actor in June, claiming she is entitled to half of the upfront money and royalties from "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" since their divorce deal says she gets half of anything Michael gets from any films he did, including residuals, merchandising, and ancillary rights.
Since "Wall Street 2" is the sequel of the 1987 blockbuster "Wall Street," Diandra feels she should be handed over half of Michael's salary from it.
The suit left many baffled. Diandra reportedly got million from her divorce settlement in 2000 so why does she still need the money?...

Michael Douglas' ex-wife is planning an appeal after a New York judge ruled she is not entitled to 50 per cent of the star's profits from the Wall Street sequel.
Diandra Douglas, who split from the actor in 2000, took legal action against her former spouse over the summer seeking a share of his pay cheque from his movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
She claimed her divorce deal entitled her to half her ex-husband's salary from projects he worked on during their marriage, and any possible "spin-offs" of his previous films, including the original 1987 Wall Street.
The case was dismissed at Manhattan's Supreme Court on Monday after Judge Matthew Cooper ruled the Big Apple was not the right jurisdiction to hear the case.
But Diandra Douglas is not dropping her fight - she's set to lodge an appeal, according to her legal team.
Lawyer Nancy Chemtob tells the New York Post, "We respectfully disagree with the decision, and intend to appeal. Both parties are residents of New York, and the case should be decided here."...

New York, New York (X17online) - Diandra Douglas' multi-million dollar claim for half of Academy Award-winning actor Michael Douglas’ earnings from Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps was tossed out by a Manhattan judge today. Douglass' ex-wife Diandra filed a complaint in June which stated that the divorce agreement contained a clause to give her money from any "spinoffs" of Douglas' movies during their two decades of marriage, including the 1987 blockbuster Wall Street. The judge told Diandra she'd picked the wrong state for this kind of complaint and dismissed the case completely. She can now re-file in California where the case may have a chance, but Douglas' lawyer, Marilyn Chinitz says if she does, "She's going to lose on the merits." Needless to say, Douglas is happy with today's outcome in court. Chinitz added in a statement: "He's thrilled. This is the right decision… this action should have never...

New York - Cancer-stricken actor Michael Douglas can keep all the money he made from the movie sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps after a New York judge on Monday rejected the bid of Douglas' ex-wife for part of the money. Manhattan Supreme Court judge Matthew Cooper ruled that his court did not have jurisdiction over the case, forcing Diandra Douglas to appeal or to file the claim anew in California. Diandra, 52, has been divorced from Douglas for over ten years but claims she is entitled to half his earnings from the recent movie since it emanated from the 1987 film made while the couple was married.

New York -- Michael Douglas' ex-wife has lost a bid to cash in on his earnings from his recent "Wall Street" follow-up, with a judge saying her case is too much of a Hollywood divorce to set a sequel in a New York court.A Manhattan judge dismissed Diandra Douglas' lawsuit against the Academy Award-winning actor in a ruling made public Monday. The judge said the dispute doesn't belong in a New York court because the former couple's complex, multimillion-dollar divorce agreement was hashed out in Santa Barbara, Calif."After balancing all competing interests and factors, the California court is the more convenient forum for this matter to be tried," state Supreme Court Justice Matthew F. Cooper wrote.Michael Douglas was "very happy" with the New York lawsuit ruling, his lawyer, Marilyn B. Chinitz, said Monday. While it stuck to the question of where the case belongs, not who should win,...

Michael Douglas' return to his Academy Award-winning Wall Street role also spawned a legal sequel to his decade-old divorce.
Lawyers representing the actor and ex-wife Diandra Douglas tangled in a New York court Tuesday over her claim that she's entitled to half his earnings from Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, set to open Sept. 24.
The dispute has featured accusations of avarice on both sides and an unusually detailed look at Hollywood-style divorce.
The couple's 23-year marriage ended in 2000. He's now married to Oscar-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The former couple's multimillion-dollar divorce gives Diandra Douglas the right to share in proceeds from spinoffs from work Michael Douglas did while they were married.

A lawyer representing Michael Douglas unleashed a scathing attack on the actor's ex-wife Diandra at a court hearing on Tuesday - urging her to "move on" and stop calling herself "Mrs. Douglas".
Diandra, who split from the actor in 2000, has taken legal action against her former spouse seeking a share of his pay cheque from upcoming movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
She claims her divorce deal entitles her to half her ex-husband's salary from projects he worked on during their marriage, and any possible "spin-offs" of his previous films, including the original 1987 Wall Street.
The case went to court in New York on Tuesday and Douglas' attorney, Marilyn Chinitz, argued that Diandra hasn't been married to the Hollywood star for 10 years and therefore has no right to claim half her ex-husband's money from the new film.
Chinitz told the court, "It's time for Mrs. Douglas to move on. When does it stop? Diandra Douglas calls herself Mrs. Douglas, but she's not Mrs. Michael Douglas."
A lawyer for Diandra, Nancy Chemtob, referenced a line from Wall Street in which Douglas' Gordon Gekko character famously says, "Greed is good".
She told the court, "Greed is about somebody who doesn't want to pay taxes and doesn't want to pay his spouse."
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper delayed ruling on the case.

About a week ago, we learned that Michael Douglas has to undergo eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy for a tumor in his throat. But that's not stopping his ex-wife, Diandra Douglas, from squeezing more money out of the actor, despite being divorced for over ten years. Diandra took Michael to court on Tuesday over her claims that she is entitled to half his earnings from the "Wall Street" sequel, which has yet to hit theaters. Their multimillion-dollar divorce gave her the right to share in proceeds from spin-offs from work Michael did while they were married, which Diandra says includes "Wall Street 2." Michael's lawyer says his client's ex-wife misinterpreted the agreement and that she can only share the proceeds of films that were on the horizon when the two split. And there have been plenty of those. Diandra has made over $6 million in just spin-off projects. "When does it stop?...
