Catherine Zeta-Jones says she’s had enough of being humble and won't apologise for her look & talent

I kind of love her.

where did she get 200 million?

She’s so old now, who really cares?

Yeah I know DL loves trolling this lady, and I do too sometimes. But I've always liked her.

I won't apologize for being an ingenue anymore! Can I help it that I was born so recently?

She's gorgeous. Good for her.

She a trump supporter now

Needs a med regimen adjustment.

humble as ever, our Catherine.....

Is she still telling people shes only 48?

Catherine and Elizabeth warren would be besties

Who is that picture of?

[quote]where did she get 200 million?

When they did the revival of A Little Night Music they had no set. The famous picnic scene was done with everyone sitting on the ground. They *said* at the time it was an artistic choice. In reality, Cathy's salary was so high that they didn't have money for a set. One time in the green room, Cathy opened her purse and her paycheck fell out. Angela Lansbury picked it up and happened to see the amount and fainted dead away. The best boy had to yell, "Get the smelling salts. Miss Lansbury needs the fainting couch."

[quote]Catherine, 48

Ouch! Some poor son of a bitch is going to lose his job over that.

She cannot WAIT for her husband to die. Sadly, he has those indestructible long-life genes that even cunnilingus-caused cancer can not stifle.

$200 million = 10 million handjobs

In any case it's really her lack of talent and looks about which she should be humble :)

Is she having one of her manic phases again?

R18, I think you’re right.

Bitch, shut up.

I loved her playing her age and older in the Cocaine Godmother story. So trashy! Loved it!

I can´t believe she actually said this. I'm not surprised that she thinks this way about herself since she's a Libra (AKA a Narcissistic Bitch) but I am surprised that she actually said it. She must have been drunk during that interview, or going through a severe midlife crisis.

She probably will last as long as Livvie DH, so you're right, R22.

She's not that hot looking. She's got ugly legs and the smoking and drinking have caught up with her....rough looking and a bit chavvy!

R24 is Renee Zellweger.

"Catherine, 48"

She's in character for a role, obviously. Rare is the gamin who can play 14 or 48.

Her eyes were much prettier before her surgical interventions. They need to up her lithium, and get her off the booze.

That is exactly what I thought when I read the article, R18. She has suffered for years with bi-polar and has been hospitalized. She's been out of commission for over a decade. Not getting how she imagines anyone is thinking about her at all much less expecting her to be humble.

R13, Best Boy is not a job title in theatre, just in film.

R13

I saw that on Broadway and Miss Lansbury did not look happy in her wheelchair glaring at KZJ on the fainting couch as she flubbed her lines - it was that bad. At one point she was feeding them to her. "A Weekend in the Country" it was not.

I thought it was the coke then. Or the aftermath.

So glad to see that Michael has had such a positve effect on her.

Some people will say anything to get a mention in the press.

She's pathetic. Talent speaks louder than her stupid comments.

Wasn't her pussy that one that gave Michael oral cancer ?

I’m tired of being humble. I am a confident 34 year old woman!

[quote]Best Boy is not a job title in theatre, just in film.

Wait? What? Are you saying that the "best boy" is not an actual honorary title bestowed on the cutest actor in the cast? Where the bleeding fuck is that lying sack of shyte Victor Garber?

GM off her bipolar meds again

Maybe not humble, but could she be grateful, gracious, or graceful?

R37 Stuff your G-words! I won't be shamed! I've too much money for it.

She's somewhat fabulous, but I fear, as do others here, that she's flying high and wide at present.

MAY 30, 2017 Today's Blind Items - The Secret Love Child - Old Hollywood Even in the Internet age, this has been one of the oldest kept secrets from back in the day. This A-list actress (at least I consider her A-list because she was my Grandma's favorite actress) was considered one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of her generation. She was groomed by the old studio system, as many were- hair changed, face changed, name changed. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent on grooming her for stardom by the studio. You know the drill. In the beginning, our actress (who I'll call Ms. D) was compliant with the studio's control over her life, but underneath that she had a big time subversive streak.

At first, she was able to hide it, but eventually studio people became aware of it and knew they had a major problem on their hands. Our actress loved to party and had lots of friends. She also loved men, especially men who came from backgrounds that the studio honchos deemed very inappropriate for her. Not only did she love men, but she also loved women. Lots of them. And was not afraid to be seen in public with some of her female lovers. Ms. D was also politically outspoken, which was a big no-no in those days. Since this was a different time, Ms. D's behavior became a big public relations problem for her studio who struggled to keep a lid on her activities. Unlike other actresses at this time, Ms. D was able to get away with most of her behavior in spite of the studio's concerns about her. One of the reasons is because one of Ms D's lovers was the wife of a very highly placed studio boss. Ms. D was also smart and kept photographic proof of her liasons with the wife of the studio boss, which the studio knew she would use as leverage. Ms. D was pretty smart and was able to beat the studio goons at their own game - at least for a little while.

As time went on, Ms. D fell deeply in love with a man in the entertainment business who was deemed "inappropriate" for her. We'll call this man Mr. V. There were lots of rumors about the relationship floating around at that time, and the studio was becoming very nervous about the situation. Then Ms D. got pregnant with Mr. V's baby. And naturally, they were in love and decided to get married. Studio bosses, of course, lost their minds over this potential marriage and went into overdrive to contain the situation. Rumor has it that they staged a break-in to Ms. D's home and were able to get their hands on incriminating evidence she had saved to use as leverage for herself, related to her female lovers. They then told Ms. D that if she did not get an abortion and break off the relationship with Mr. V, they would make use of that stolen evidence to out her publically as a lesbian. Ms. D told them to pound sand and also refused to get an abortion. She went into hiding until her baby was born. Ms. D was also lucky in that she had the body type that made concealing the pregnancy easy. (Very few people suspected anything was amiss until she was about six months along and she went on an extended "vacation").

Once the baby (a little girl) was born abroad, Ms. D made sure she was placed with an affluent family. Ms. D and Mr. V visited the child regularly and when she was old enough, the child was told all about her adoption and paternity. What is interesting is that the child is now a grown woman and is also a well known actress herself, who I'll call Ms. B. Since she is foreign born, no one suspects any connection to her birth parents. But if you were to know the background of this story and look at Ms. B., she looks exactly like her biological parents. It's actually amazing that no one has noticed this before and connected the dots. Ms. B and Ms. D have agreed that when Ms. D dies, Ms. B will go public with the story. Ms. D is older and unwell, so it will be interesting to see how soon after her passing the story is revealed.

meagain said... Totally left field...Catherine Zeta Jones. Only thought of her because of the mysterious bingo win (100,000 pounds) that her parents won that paid for her dance lessons when she was a kid. That is a lot of money to win at bingo.

TLDR

Sharlane said... Hmm interesting! She does look quite different from her legal parents, more "exotic"... I used to think she was part Asian or Latina, while her parents look like any other European. Maybe that's the scandal part of Ms D and Mr. V??... Ms D was white and Mr. V was some other ethnicity (not necessarily black like most here have assumed), which would explain Catherine's appearance. Question is, who would the non-white, probably not black either father be?? Don't know many celeb men from that era who fit that criteria.

ZeeZee said...

Catherine Zeta Jones - Kim Novak/Sammie Davis, Jr.; don't see CZJ likeness to Davis exactly, but she does lie about her age by 11 years which would put her in the right pocket for this version - with her being born more like in 1958ish instead of the her imdb birthdate of 1969.

Just The Facts said... My guess is:

Ms B is Catherine Zeta Jones Ms D is Kim Novak Mr V is Sammy Davis Jr

Novak was an A list movie star in the 50's as the top box office earner for the studios.

Davis was a highly popular and famous entertainer. They were in love and applied for a marriage licence but it was never filed.

Their union created quite a stir, tons of media coverage.

Harry Cohn, head of Columbia Film was connected to the mob and did not want this union to take place as he deemed it would ruin his meal ticket, "I mean Novak's career".

Davis was threatened by the mob to marry a black woman in 24 to 48 hours or else. Davis hastily married Loray White, January 1958, paid her $$$ for a 12 month contract for a sham union.

Its rumoured he continued to see Kim while legally married to White.

Catherine (Ms. B) a very well known actress was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by the Monarchy of the United Kingdom in 2010 for her film and charity work.

Catherine and Kim are both bi polar.

Its reported that Catherine is actually 11 years older then what her bio says, which would place her birth in 1958. She was born in September.

The rumour goes that when she and Michael Douglas visited the White House, a security background check revealed that she was 10 years older than claimed when he looked at her ID.

See Catherine as a child, she looks bi-racial.

Its rumoured that Kim was with Davis at the hospital before he died (he was married to wife #3 at the time).

Wife #2 looked very similar to Novak.

Its reported that Davis always claimed that Novak was the love of his life right up to his death.

Novak is 84, diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and is not a big fan of Hollywood.

If this is true its sad for all parties involved.

6:58 AM Margaret said... I feel like you got it 100%

half-breed

Teenagers today are so mouthy and entitled!

Kim Novak

Sammy Davis Jr

Catherine...whoever accused you of being humble? Are you also tired of being an asshole?

R51 Asshole is for men, 'Bitch' would be more appropriate.

I'd pee on her yo

Novak has denied any relationship with Davis beyond knowing him as part of the rat pack on Larry King.

Jones and Novak look nothing alike. And Jones looks nothing like Davis. This is the wrong trio.

Now if there is a Kirk Douglas/Natalie Wood 65 year child about that would be interesting.

I'm with R54. CZJ looks Welsh to me.

She's looking old.

She's beyond gorgeous, she's got charisma and sex appeal and humor for life. A certain kind of beauty doesn't last long past 40. Like Faye Dunaway and Ava Gardner, CZJ was never an ingenue. She's a woman.

A fierce and funny woman with a not bad resume. She was the best thing about FEUD and will live long enough to be beautiful again. The jokes about her age are so dumb. How unimaginative, unattractive, alone and OLD are the ancient DL white men who keep making them?

Looks like shit, too old for anyone to give a serious fuck about and a cunt full of warts and herpes. Yeah Cath, you have so much I'm jealous of.

What a merch bert you must be R58.

Very impressed you can speak Welsh Cath R59, maybe you should piss off back to Wales now Hollywood has finished with you.

I adored her in Chicago the Musical. My dainty cousin said CZJ is the one woman she’d go gay for. Seriously! She’s never said anything like that ever, trust me.

It’s well-known that CZJ suffers a bad lot of bi-polar disorder. Which, to anyone who has laid witness to a loved one with it - is the absolute worst mood disorder to keep balanced. I cut her slack for mild comments like that, as she is clearly not in the same category as Roseanne.

What CJZ said pertaining to this thread, is minor and not worthy of analysis. It does not hurt or attack anyone else. She is already paying for her hell on earth with the bi-polar health.

She used to be hot

She shouldn't have bragged on her kids the way she did. They want to be actors too, apparently. CZJ gushed that the world will be amazed at their talent. Ugh. She'll be eating those words, for sure. I just hope she doesn't put up billboards for them if they don't get the acclaim she thinks they deserve.

R54 She denied any relationship eh? That makes that marriage license applied for but never filed even odder, dont'cha think?

Poor Michael Douglas looks like he is deflating from the inside out.

Is SHE responsible for that? Has she sucked all the life out of him?

I was going to say the same thing, r66, he looks incredibly old and frail for 71, looks like he's in his eighties.

As for her, she is insufferable.

R61 psst... Conspiracy theories are only entertaining when there's a shred of plausibility to them.

She raised a cute gay son, at least.

Please, R53.

CZJ is 35 years too elderly for R. Kelly.

So she's actually closer to 60? Wow. Why do great-looking older women insist on lying about their age? She could be known as a stunning 58-year-old instead of a decrepit 48-year-old.

what talent? talent at whoring?

[quote]where did she get 200 million?

Her husband.

R73 think that too !

Wasn't she an ingenue in Zorro?

I'm taking a page out of CZJ's book: I refuse to apologize for my beauty, talent, and glamour! Hear me roar!!!!

She is starting to look like Brandi Glanville. Full facelift?

She writes all that as if there was a point when she humble about anything in her life. She's never shown the least bit of humility. If she's going to overcome her previous state of being humble, God help us all.

A victim of her own humility? Gag!

"Catherine dear, you must stop being so humble!"

--Said No One EVER

[quote]"All that is important to me now is my work"

Such as it is.

Me! A scruffy little chap from Mumbles!

She reeks of desperation and smoke.

Manic upswing?

Don't care how rich, famous, talented, beautiful etc etc she is, if she's bi-polar then her life ain't worth shit. I remember when I was 24 she was widely toted as being 29, i am now 49.

Most actresses are bonkers.

[quote]if she's bi-polar then her life ain't worth shit.

Thanks for your input, Mengele.

I saw her at the Edinburgh premier of a movie when she started dating Douglas..she was stunning, a slip of a thing. How far she has come since dating John Leslie....but lady...humility is showing you know you lead a life many don't....one you worked so hard to leave....so find some damn grace and dignity

Never forget my Tony award winning talent!

She's bipolar, she just forgot to take her meds.

She must have gone off her meds. This is the type of inflated ego blathering that people spew when they're deep in a full-blown manic phase. Would any rational person think that others are envious of an alcoholic bipolar whose career is on the wane and who is married to an ugly, cheating asshole in his 70s? Yikes.

Which co star did so begin an adulterous affair with again on Zorro? Some tirade against abuse on the set of Election spilled that gossip.

Poor old thing.

R91, the same people who think we envy Meghan Markle and Madonna.

But I do envy Meghan's gorgeous American teeth!

This is a serious question. If someone is half caucasain, half AA, don’t they always have more textured hair? I realize there is a wide variance in features for biracial people. But whenever we “guess” on something like this here on DL, I always look to hair texture, not as much facial features. Of course her hair has treatments and isblien out or wigs/weaves, but it seems like her natural hair texture is probably Caucasian.

When I look at her, I see Black Irish with a random dash of dark skin.

Who's criticizing her for being not humble enough? I think CZJ is hearing voices in her head again.

She's annoying but not as annoying as Jada Pinkett Smith.

She's entering her demented dotage and so will soon be a DL Fave

[quote]When I look at her, I see Black Irish with a random dash of dark skin.

She's WELSH. Many Welsh people with string celtic genes have black hair and look almost Spanish. Look at Tom Jones when he was young.

Yes, I know she’s Welsh, I’m just telling you what I think of when I see her. But thank you.

I am perfection!!!

Well, that pic upthread of her as a girl wearing the Annie t-shirt would seem to put to rest that she says she's ten years older than she claims. Annie opened in 1977 and Zeta-Jones couldn't have been more than 12 years old in that pic (probably more like 8 or 9).

Michael Douglas hasn’t been a movie star in nearly 30 years. And CZJ career isn’t exactly that great if she is starring in lifetime movies. Though I’ve always thought she was beautiful.

....

R103, I’m gonna call her 10 in the photo. If the London show was 1978, that’d make her 50 now. If she was 12 in the photo, 52.

???

[quote]Now if there is a Kirk Douglas/Natalie Wood 65 year child about that would be interesting.

Eewwwwww.

Michael got puss cancer from eating out his half-sister?

Since when has that entitled cunt ever apologised about anything?

oh please, get over yourself hon. You ain't rich, your husband is rich. He is also old and frail and cancer-ridden. If you were ever good looking, it was a tribute to state of the art plastic surgery, not gene pool. We've seen the first nose.

I feel the same way, sweetie! Let’s have lunch and talk beauty secrets.

I agree with her. Most humility is false anyhow. It’s how we all keep each other down. Self-loathing and false humility is the toxic mix that leads to much of the suicide and violence of our culture. Love yourself and take credit for your accomplishments, and responsibility for your failures and you’ll feel much much better.

Can't be R45. If you look at the photo R46 posted Annie didn't hit B'way until 1977.

R103 I posted before seeing your comment. Sorry.

Like the bitch has ever been humble! She’s always been obnoxiously arrogant and forgot her working class roots a long time ago.

New blood research has revealed that Wales, Western and Southern Ireland, along with parts of the mainland, are ancestors of farmers who migrated out of Turkey and the Middle East. Dark eyes, hair, and a tendency to tan rather than burn are some of the residual traits of this population.

She’s awfully entitled for a 22-year-old

i heard her say this on tv and she does sound like she's nutso!

Sounds like she's been practicing tap dancing on her own head.

She is going the PR route of Rosanne Barr. What a nut!

She’s young. Give her time.

I do not think she is anywhere close to being 10 years older than she claims, but she could be the usual 4 I suppose.

Join the long-awaited DL Bitchfest featuring DL Icon Cathy Zeta Jones, who declares (between cigarettes), "Jealous, Bitches?"

They just covered this on The Talk.

Julie Chen said something isn't right with her.

I don't watch The Talk, but after your post R123 I checked and it is on in about 10 minutes. Interesting in hearing what Julie has to say.

She is bipolar. I didn’t care for her when she was so called humble and I still don’t care for her tod.

R124, what did you think?

Julie was saying it was the bipolar speaking and it wan't the real her. I got the impression Julie was saying don't beat up on a mentally ill person. I liked Sara's response about "who are you apologizing to."

Yes, that was a clever response from Sara and Julie showed compassion for her.

Here is a link providing context for Catherine's remarks..

Thanks for the link R128. That really changes the whole meaning. She is saying, especially women, keep saying they are sorry. It comes off more she wasn't sorry for everything, it was pick one that you are sorry for. If you are not sorry you are rich, you are sorry because you married a movie star or vice versa. She really does have a point. Sounds like she is tired of apologizing for her successes.

You are quite welcome, R127.

Her marriage to the old bastard husband with the bad facelifts is something to envy? Hope she has hunky bodyguards and gardeners

Bwahaha!

Cathy was never humble. This is the real her talking. The bipolar part is the PR person cannot get her to shut up. She is off the publicist script, just like her meds. Cathy has always been a major cuntress. And the truth is, she knows and is proud of this.

The kids. Attractive, but not special enough to make it in Hollywood without the pedigree.

Carys wants to be a runway model (big shock).....like every other stumpy, average looking celebrity spawn. CZJ has been not so subtly pimping her by suddenly attending all the top designer fashion shows with Carys as her +1. Bitch has no real interest in fashion, other than to get her kid noticed. I don't think I ever saw her attend a fashion event until very recently..
