Catherine Zeta-Jones Expecting Again (Maureen Dowd remains bitter and childless)
reuters | reuters

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (news) and her Oscar-winning husband, Michael Douglas (news), are expecting their second child next spring, their spokesman said.

The 33-year-old raven-haired beauty gave birth to the couple's first child, a son named Dylan Michael Douglas, in August of 2000, three months before the two movie stars were married.
Much to the delight of Zeta-Jones' father-in-law, veteran actor Kirk Douglas (news), young Dylan carried on a prominent Douglas family trait -- the dimpled chin of his grandfather.

Michael Douglas, 58, an Academy Award winner as best actor for his 1987 role in "Wall Street," also has an adult son, Cameron, from his first marriage.

Does anyone have a pool going yet for how much longer this marriage will last or who Douglas' next wife will be?

Don't understand how Dowd fits in here, but, as a gratuitous comment, there is just some material better left out of the gene pool, if you catch my drift.

From this article:

Still, it did not necessarily seem like hypocrisy when she began to be linked with the actor Michael Douglas -- a kind of Bill Clinton's Bill Clinton who, the tabloids report, has undergone sexaholic therapy. Rather, it seemed like part of the logical background of her wrath. Perhaps she is drawn to such men (at the same time, Douglas appears to be involved with ABC newscaster Elizabeth Vargas). That would certainly explain her anger -- it's at her own women-who-love-too-much weakness. Maybe.

******************************

Except, recently, Douglas. The issue of the 47-year-old Dowd's relationships fascinates many at the Times. That she doesn't really do relationships -- at least not openly -- is what's fascinating. At the Washington Star (twenty years ago), she went out with John Tierney, now also at the Times. That ended badly, when, as she claimed in a pseudonymously published magazine piece, she found a little black dress not her own.

When she showed up with Michael Douglas at Ben and Sally's (i.e., Bradlee and Quinn's) twentieth-anniversary party, it was notable not so much for the celebrity factor as it was for the fact that Dowd had a date. Instead of lingering at the fringes of the crowd and huddling with her friends, as she is famous for doing, she was openly mingling and introducing Douglas to colleagues. "She was," says a Times friend who was at the party, "a different Maureen."

Well, I don't know.

My five-year old asked, "Mommy, who will take care of us if you get killed?"

While she was stammering out an answer about Nana and Auntie, I said (helpfully), "Catherine Zeta-Jones".

Slept on the couch...

Dowd and Douglas were an item but he traded her in for a newer model (Jones). It helps explain much of Dowd's shrillness and bitterness over the past couple years.

He was never a father to his first son with his first wife; he is just a sperm donor. I’m sure Katherine is grateful for viagra.

You can say what you want about Michael Douglas but Catherine Zeta-Jones has CLASS and BEAUTY. She's got curves. No ectomorph she.

"Dated"?

Is that what they call it now?

GDAMN is that one beautiful woman. Why she's with a living corpse like Mikey Douglas is, well, explainable by the $$$$.
