These are newish photos of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas from Friday night. They were headed out for a black-tie affair for The Welsh Society of New York. Because Zeta is Welsh, remember? I forget sometimes, because she just seems to have taken to this image of old-money New York so well. Seriously, though, Michael looks great, and he’s healthy and they’re back to going to events together. Also – do my eyes deceive me, or has Zeta put on some weight, especially in the hip-area? It looks good on her.
Michael Douglas looked amazingly strong and healthy as he and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones stepped out in New York Friday night. Zeta-Jones was the guest of honor at a party held by The Welsh Society Of New York at the Yale Club.
The 41-year-old star was awarded the Hopkins bronze medal for lifetime achievement in film at the St. David’s day event just one week after receiving a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) at Buckingham Palace from Prince Charles.
Catherine flaunted her curves in a glamorous black gown with silver detailing which she paired with a white fur coat.
Proudly supporting her was Michael, 66, who revealed in January he’is in remission for stage four throat cancer after months of intensive treatment. The romantic pair held hands as they left the lavish event.

41! Hahaha. Sure. She’s 41. God bless. Anyway, Zeta’s award was for her “worldwide stature in the film and theatre industries, her unstinting pride in Wales, her generosity in support of Welsh causes and her role as an ambassador for Wales in the United States of America.” In her acceptance speech, Catherine said: “It means a lot to come home with my family and to be honoured in this way – very emotional, rather nervous I must say, and it was worth (it) to have Michael in good health to be able to enjoy it (with me).”
On, and her coat is real fur. Because Zeta will cut you if you say anything about her fur.

She’s probably gained back weight she lost during the stress of Michael’s illness. I’m so glad to see him looking well! I believe she is 41 – she looks even younger. Not sure what the controversy is about?

@janica, God didn’t heal him. Radiation and chemotherapy did.
I’m so glad to see Michael Douglas doing well. My father had the same kind of cancer and just got his three year clear cancer free PET scan! I hear MD just got his first cancer free PET scan (the same doctors as my dad, too). I hope he has many more.
I’d say something about KZJ’s fur, but why bother?

Ugh, this is so disappointing. I guess the fact that cats and dogs (yes, they are used for fur) are skinned alive for the purpose of vanity doesn’t phase her.
I can only hope that she looks up Chinese fur farms one day and makes a 180.

It’s always been my opinion that CZJ’s mother must have gone (alone?)on holiday to some place south of Wales nine months before CZJ was born. Look at the early pics of her, look at her parents and look at her brothers.

That’s horrible an animal died needlessly so CZJ could wear its hide? To the people that say “If you can eat ‘em, you can wear ‘em” show me someone that eats wolf, mink, or whatever animal has that kind of white fur.
I hope PETA has CZJ on their bad list forever!

I think she always looks gorgeous but i’d rather she put MORE weight on, she hasn’t had those amazing curves since she starred in that play “A little night music” in December 2009.
I also didn’t think she and Michael would last when they married but i’m so glad they did, they seem to love each other so much and are a great couple.
I think if you want to wear fur you should wear it, if you’re anti fur you have the right to educate people on why you feel that way but not to force them to conform, personally i love fur although i still feel bad for the animals, slightly contradictory but i can’t help it lol
P.S I’m Welsh too

I’m not a fan of hers but the fact is she IS 41. I used to watch her in ‘The Darling Buds of May’ pre-Hollywood days, 1991-93, she was incredibly baby-faced. She would have
been 22-24 at that time. She looked much younger, was no way older. She obviously looks older than her actual age these days, happens to some people.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I remember when they married – she was 25, I thought “Wow, he’s twice her age at 50.” So unless she was lying then, their age difference has stayed consistent.

The second picture is very unfortunate; she totally cheapens the “glamorous” outfit. After 41 years ans a “glamorous” life, can she learn how to walk properly?

@Belle Epoch,
Checked out the link, and other than the nose (which everyone in Hollywood gets done though only the brave will admit to it) she looks the same. A good nose job will dramatically change someone’s looks though. Look at Jennifer Grey.

I wonder if these two are stupid enough (she probably is) to return to puffing cigarettes.
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of this couple. Douglas is good on film, not really great as a human example (bad parent, philanderer, etc) and the fact that he’s beat cancer doesn’t make him a saint or anything.

She’s still very beautiful. I think she is 41 too. She was mid 20s during that zorro movie in the late 90s and I remember that their birthdays are on the same day 25 years apart – I know because she was my girl crush for years

She’s beautiful regardless of her age and I love her curves. However, it’s widely believed in H’wood & elsewhere (for many yrs ) that she has fudged her age by 7-10 yrs. I don’t hear it about others as much as I have about her, consistently

its not that im not happy for Michael, that he overcame cancer, im VERY happy for him, really. its a miracle!

I hope she did gain some weight as she was way too skinny there for a while. She looks gorgeous as usual.

In times like these unapologetic “glamour” is impolite, uncivilized, and flippant. Especially, when so many are struggling to put food on their family’s plates, and keep a roof over their head.
Tacky, rude, offensive and a sign of bad breeding.

I actually think she is 41, the way Kate Middleton is 29.
Yes, that is their actual age. But the skin could be (and appears to be) twice as old because of the drinking and under-eating.

People have the right to wear fur if they want and I have the right to call them an ugly f–king fur hag if they do. The concept of wearing the hide of a once living creature for vanity is revolting. She’s no better than Leatherface. I never spend money on any product produced or endorsed by a celebrity who wears fur.

As far as people who still believe still CZJ is 41 …remember the white house episode check? she is a decade older.

I’m just curious, fur-wise – the people that react violently to fur-wearers, do you feel the same about leather shoes?
I’m not trying to start a fight here (no, seriously). I’m just curious. Because it seems only fur gets this reaction, at least on this site; nobody jumps all over a celeb if they’re pictured wearing leather shoes.
Also, yeah, CZJ is mostly likely 41 for real – she was famous in the UK for a long time before Hollywood, playing the “buxom” teenage daughter on Darling Buds Of May. I’ve read old interviews from way back, and her age was always consistent. But since she hit it big in Zorro, she’s always presented herself in a very old-time Hollywood way, dressing older than she is, so she’s probably seemed older than her real age for a very long time. She was never the tarted-up starlet falling about the place in a miniskirt so in Hollywood terms she never seemed like a twentysomething, even when she was.
Also, aside from the inevitable stresses brought on by nursing her husband through a serious illness (let’s not forget!) she’s just a different breed than the Anistons and Paltrows, from all those high-maintenance chicks who spend all day munching lettuce and rice cakes and crunching their abs at pilates and ringing up Rachel Zoe when they can’t decide what shoes to wear. Maybe if she spent all her time detoxing she’d look younger but I’m guessing Catherine’s been too busy having a ball.
Women like Gwyneth remind me of those people whose house is always pristine, never a thing out of place. You feel stifled. They must spend all their time keeping it just-so. Catherine – though I don’t rate her as an actress at all – seems more likely to have knickers on the bathroom floor, and dimps in the ashtray, and the bed unmade, because she was too busy actually having a life to spend all her time cleaning. And more power to her for looking her age.

People forget that CZJ’s has been a smoker for a long time. That ages a person. I believe she is 41. She is a classic beauty like Liz Taylor.

@Lenore
The special fur, which rich people wear, is from mink, chinchilla etc. So those animals are bred for their skins, and its corpses will be littered or manufactured to dog food.
Leather shoes constist of pig and cow skins. So primary those animals die because of their meat, and food for people is essential and not reprehensible. Therefore leather is a nice byproduct in contrast to the cruel fur-production.

(BlindGossip ref) – Party crashers aren’t the only ones creating stress at the White House. A certain celebrity was scheduled to attend a function at the White House, but ran into a snafu when a standard security check was performed on her. It turns out that the age on her driver’s license didn’t match up to the background check. She gave them a big song and a dance about how the mix up occurred, but eventually had to admit her real age in order to gain admission for future events. We don’t know which made her actor husband more upset: the fact that she was singled out for a mild interrogation, or that fact that his wife has lied to him all along about her age. While she is unquestionably beautiful, she is quite a few years older than he thought she was.
It was CZJ,:)

I wish people would knock it off about her age and surgery. She’s been famous since she was a kid practically in England, and people know how old she is, and what she looks like. You can use dodgy old photos to try and “prove” her looks have changed, but she still looks basically the same, and no, she’s not secretly older- this KEEPS coming up, and people KEEP going on about it, and if you do a little Google imagesearching you’ll see it’s not true. Sheesh.

Your English is great, don’t apologise! Thanks for responding.
I’ve heard this argument before, but I don’t think it holds water. For one thing, meat for humans is not essential – I’ve managed without it for seventeen years now. And we have many adequate substitutes for leather too.
For another, I don’t know why it would matter whether the leather comes from an animal slaughtered for meat. If it’s wrong for an animal to suffer for the sake of clothing, surely it’s always wrong?
A poster earlier mentioned skinning animals alive – clearly an horrific act. So if the fur is taken from a humanely-killed animal, would that be okay?
I have no solid opinion on this issue, by the way – I’m not advocating one side or another. I personally find it to be a very morally grey issue, which is why I’m interested when other people are SO incredibly certain in their viewpoint about fur.

As far as surgery goes, I know there’s more than just a nose job. I remember years ago she had something done to her eyes, which looked perfectly fine to me, but there was some kind of quote about how she always knows exactly what to do. Personally I think she has had a LOT done, but it was all done well and she avoided the Barbie Doll/Real Housewife of Wherever look. Those ladies all hit … um … 41, and they all look the same – in a bad way!

I don’t understand the point in bitching about CZJ’s fur unless every person who is having problem with it is a vegan and doesn’t wear any kind of animal product.
I don’t get much of the hype about being against fur (or eating animals) mainly because I think vegetables are alive too so I don’t get how it’s all right to kill a vegetable but not an animal.
