Greed is not good in the case of Michael Douglas’ ex-wife who is suing the actor for half of his earnings from the upcoming “Wall Street” sequel. Diandra Douglas, who was married to Michael for 23 years, quietly filed suit against her ex earlier this month, claiming she’s entitled to 50 percent of the upfront money and royalties from “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” the New York Post reports. But, Gordon Gekko’s alter ego, 65, maintains that his ex isn’t entitled to a dime. When Douglas divorced Diandra in 2000, she got a reported $45 million settlement. The divorce was...

His visit came two days after fellow Oscar-winner Sean Penn arrived in Cuba, reportedly seeking an interview with 82-year-old Fidel Castro, who has been little seen since announcing he was suffering from an unspecified illness in July 2006. He stepped down as Cuba's president in February of the following year and was replaced by his brother Raul. Penn traveled to the Isle of Youth, off mainland Cuba on Monday to meet with local artists....

Greed is still good. Or so those at 20th Century Fox hope. Even as their boss, Rupert Murdoch, pursued an uninvited takeover bid for Dow Jones this week, Fox movie executives quietly sealed a deal to revive Gordon Gekko, the suspender-loving financial prowler who made grabbing seem good in Oliver Stone’s 1987 film, “Wall Street.” When last seen, the corrupt Gekko, an Oscar-winning role for Michael Douglas, was on the brink of surrendering his white cuffs for handcuffs, having been sold out by his protégé Bud Fox, played by Charlie Sheen. “He went to jail,” acknowledged Edward R. Pressman, who...

Since most celebs tend to the liberal side of the political spectrum, it is a pleasant surprise when 84 Hollywood actors, directors, and producers joined Nicole Kidman in taking out a Los Angeles Times ad (above) condemning the terrorist activities by Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon and Israel. Particularly painful for the DUmmies must have been the tail end of the ad which said, "We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorsism at all costs." As you can guess this ad was like waving a red cape in front of an angry DUmmie bull as you can see...

He was once renowned as one of Hollywood's biggest womanisers. So when Michael Douglas launches an attack on the state of relationships in Tinseltown, is it a case of the pot calling the kettle black or a former heart-throb getting a bit long in the tooth? The twice-married actor - who raised eyebrows when he married current wife, film star Catherine Zeta Jones, in November 2000 - has made his feelings known about failed showbiz marriages, including those of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. "I don't know about Brad Pitt leaving that beautiful...

Michael Douglas knows that those who attend the World Economic Forum can move mountains and make mounds of money. But a little star power — be it Bono, Angelina Jolie or Peter Gabriel — never hurts. "It's an impressive group, to say the least, that covers a broad spectrum," said the 61-year-old actor-producer, adding that the free-flow nature of the event promotes dialogue in a friendly environment. "People seem to let their hair down a little bit and loosen their ties. And there is a lot of give and share that's going on both in front on the panels and...

Douglas pushes for tighter gun control 02/12/2005 - 10:28:39 Fatal attraction star Michael Douglas is planning to lobby the US government for tighter gun control, because he's still haunted by rocker John Lennon's 1980 shooting death. Lennon was murdered outside his New York City apartment building by Mark Chapman, and the event is one of the major reasons why Douglas wants to use his position as a United Nations Messenger of Peace to lobby for disarmament. He says: "I was there the night John Lennon was shot, three blocks away. It left a lasting impression on me. "It motivated me...

Do male nipples prove evolution? Not at all, according to a Web site for a planned Creation Museum devoted to showing that the Bible is literally true. Nipples may be biologically de trop for men, an "expert" on the site notes, but that doesn't mean they resulted from natural selection. They could just as well be a decorating feature of the Creator's (like a hood ornament). Who are we to question His designs, since we cannot presume to comprehend His mind? Advertisement The virtual tour of the museum, to be built in rural Kentucky, says its exhibits will explain many...

LOS ANGELES - A crazed stalker with a fatal attraction to Michael Douglas terrorized his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, threatening to "cut her to bits" or blow her up "so pieces of her head look like President Kennedy's," according to bombshell court testimony yesterday. Douglas and his movie-star wife took the stand to reveal terrifying details from phone calls and letters they said were written by aspiring psychologist Dawnette Knight, 32. In a case that seems almost ripped from the script of Douglas' chilling 1987 film "Fatal Attraction," Knight allegedly took up her poisoned pen because she was infatuated with the...
