Divorce Michael Douglas Rumors

DON’T COUNT ON A MICHAEL DOUGLAS / CATHERINE ZETA-JONES DIVORCE ANYTIME SOON

We’re curious to see if this rumor about Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s marriage collapsing has any truth to it. After all, the story originated in Star magazine. Of course with all the problems this couple has been having, it’s entirely plausible. Star says Michael is weary of Catherine’s mood swings and substance abuse. (After having throat cancer, we’re guessing it’s no fun to watch your wife drink and smoke.) But, and it’s a big BUT, Catherine DID nurse Michael back to health when he had cancer, and he can’t forget that. Also, does he really want to be single at 68? No matter how rocky things get, we’ll be very surprised if they divorce.

Cancer Catherine Zeta-Jones Cheater Diandra Douglas Michael Douglas

OOPS! MICHAEL DOUGLAS DIDN’T MEAN TO IMPLICATE HIS WIVES IN DISCUSSING DISEASE

Both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’s first wife Diandra are very agitated about the fact that Michael has implied that his throat cancer was caused by a sex disease. Both women want the world to know that they do NOT carry HPV, and Michael has started backtracking. However, it’s clear to us that Michael is referring back to his days as a raving sex-addict. Michael was a cheater who bedded almost every leading lady (are you reading this, Sharon Stone?) every attractive bit player, producer’s daughters, and his wife’s best friends. In his heyday, he was known for his trysts at every fancy hotel in LA and New York. He thinks it was those youthful indiscretions that led to his cancer, not so much the smoking and drinking, but who knows?

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA- “TOO GAY” IS BETTER THAN “NOT GAY ENOUGH”

We wonder if the studio executives who turned DOWN the Liberace story “Behind the Candelabra” (we bet they were men) because they felt it was “too gay” are sorry now that HBO has this great looking Steven Soderbergh movie. The movie, starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, debuts on May 26 and chances are it will be a ratings bonanza.

“BEHIND THE CANDELABRA” IS A MUST-SEE

#liberace #janetcharlton

Unlike “Oblivion,” every time we see a still from “Behind The Candelabra” with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon playing Liberace and his young boyfriend Scott Thorson, we ache to see it. The 70’s wardrobe alone looks amazing. When the pair broke up, Liberace kicked Scott out of his Beverly Hills penthouse. Years later we went to a party at that penthouse which was oddly located on Beverly Blvd. and had a rooftop pool and “his” and “his” bathrooms, but it wasn’t as lavish as we hoped it would be. Still, it was fun to see. Nowadays Scott Thorson looks a bit like Michael Douglas and Liberace combined.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS FINISHES PLAYING LIBERACE AND MOVES ON TO PLAY A LADIES MAN

#michaeldouglas #janetcharlton


Michael Douglas has wrapped his role as Liberace in HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra,” and he’s moved on to play an aging womanizer in “Las Vegas.” He’s costarring with Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. “Las Vegas” sounds like a great comedy – it’s about four sixty-something retired best friends who get together in Las Vegas for a bachelor party for Michael’s playboy character who‘s getting married for the first time to a woman half his age. De Niro’s character is reluctant to make the trip because years ago he had a tiff with Douglas over a woman, but the other guys talk him into it. The director jokingly calls the movie “Hangover meets Cocoon.” (By the way, Doesn’t Catherine Zeta Jones look just a LITTLE like Jersey Shore’s JWoww in the above photo?)

MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND MATT DAMON: TWO GLAMOROUS PEAS IN A POD

#Mmichaeldouglas #liberace #janetcharlton

The more photos of Michael Douglas and Matt Damon we see from the HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra” the more we salivate to see the movie. This is a still from Liberace’s Las Vegas home (note the initial on the bottom of the pool) and he and his boyfriend (played by Matt) are wearing matching short and long caftans. Everybody knew the flamboyant Liberace was gay, but nobody said it – until the chauffeur/boyfriend came along. Both guys look very authentic. Can’t WAIT to see this!

MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND MATT DAMON DONE UP AS LIBERACE AND HIS GAY BOYFRIEND

This is the first peek we’ve had of Michael Douglas dolled up in 1970’s polyester finery and bewigged as Liberace along with Matt Damon as his gay lover Scott Thorson for their HBO movie “Behind The Candelabra.” After Liberace dumped him, Scott sued the flamboyant singer for palimony in 1982 and wrote the book that revealed Liberace’s not so secret sexuality. During their relationship, Liberace paid for Scott to have plastic surgery to look more like him – he enjoyed pretending Scott was his son. Matt makes a rather fetching pretty boy – in the scene above the two are shopping for a new car. The photo below is the real Liberace and Cher in character as Laverne.

Behind the Candelabra Confidential Magazine Gay Matt Damon Michael Douglas Scott Thorson

IS THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER DOING TO JOHN TRAVOLTA WHAT CONFIDENTIAL DID TO LIBERACE YEARS AGO?

#liberace #danaykroyd #janetcharlton #confidential

It’s interesting to note that our favorite vintage tabloid Confidential Magazine wrote in 1957 about Liberace making unwanted passes at an unnamed young male publicist. At the time this was shocking beyond words. Liberace sued and his career was undamaged, but years later the real story of his double life was revealed. His live-in drug addled boyfriend Scott Thorson (the one who had plastic surgery to look like Liberace) wrote the book that’s being made into the HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra.” Michael Douglas is playing Liberace and Matt Damon plays Scott Thorson. Dan Aykroyd has just been added to the cast to play Seymour Heller, Liberace’s longtime manager who disapproved of the boyfriend.
