I don’t get the Catherine Zeta-Jones imagery for every Maureen Dowd thread!
It’s a tribal thing here, along with hugh and series, stuned beebers, biting mooses, and guilty/not guilty female defendants. Maureen Dowd was Michael Douglas’es ex, IIRC before he married the estimable CZ-J.
Michael Douglas dumped Mo Dowd for Catherine Zeta Jones. Mo Dowd was heartbroken, according to Liz Smith or some other hag, and the word spread.
