Catherine's pride as brave Michael steps out for a screening during chemo

Until recently they have lived a gilded life. One full of wealth, jet set travel, luxurious mansions and the adulation of their fans around the world. 

But Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have shown that their relationship can stand the test of tough times too, making a brave public appearance halfway through his course of chemotherapy for a throat tumour. 

Promoting Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, the follow-up to his 1987 movie about financiers' greed, the couple looked more united and sure of their love than ever. 

The New York screening follows an interview on David Letterman's chat show, in which he detailed how he's coping with the treatment doctors have ordered.


Catherine's pride and concern for her husband of ten years was evident, as dressed up to the nines in a sweeping floor-length dress and ruby earrings, she supported him as he faced the cameras, an affectionate hand around his neck.

The Welsh beauty – who has two children with Michael – has previously described how seeing him slow down had been the most difficult part of dealing with his illness.

"The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired," she said. 


In another interview, she emphasised his strength. "Michael has always seen our family through life's challenges with compassion and humour.

"This is no exception. Together we will get through this, and we will be better for it - because of him. He is our rock."

At Monday's premiere Oscar winner Michael gave no interviews.

Instead his young co-star Shia La Beouf, spoke to the press, describing him as 'wolf, a strong man'

He noted that the veteran actor showed no signs of weakness during filming – despite the annus horribilis that he's been having, with the jailing of his older son Cameron earlier this year.

Joined by daughter Lourdes Leon and brand face Taylor Momsen, the stylish trio attended the 'Material Girl' collection launch at the popular local shopping stop.

Joaquin Phoenix Returns to the "Late Show"

Coming after his much-talked-about appearance in February 2009, Joaquin Phoenix returned to the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City on Wednesday (September 22).

The unpredictable actor turned up sans scruffy beard as he readied for a promotional chat on the "Late Show with David Letterman" for his new movie "I'm Still Here".

As could be expected, Joaquin and Dave talked about last year's debacle, with Letterman saying, “You know I’ve always liked you. I’ve been to see your movies, I’ve always liked you. I recognize you as a powerful talent – that Johnny Cash thing, you were tremendous in that. And then a year- and-a-half ago, you come out and, honestly, it’s like you slipped and hit your head in the tub. And I knew immediately when you sat down, something ain’t right, because if you’re really the way you appeared to be, you don’t go out. You know what I mean? People don’t let guys like you out if you’re really like that. You don’t go out.”

A short while later, Dave said, “Now let me ask you a couple of questions. You’re retiring to pursue a career in music. To me, that seems – excuse me, I mean, you did sing in the film, but it seems unlikely because you’ve been nominated for two Academy Awards. I, frankly, when I heard about it later, was surprised that anybody had believed it. And then after seeing you here – first of all, really all I care about is me in this. Now, did I know anything about this?”

With Joaquin replying “No,” Letterman then asked, “Yeah. Was there a script that you and I were working with?”

“No,” Phoenix responded. “Thank you very much,” Letterman said, “I was not part of it, was I?”

“Yeah, but, like you said... I mean, I think that you’ve interviewed many, many people and I assumed that you would know the difference between a character and a real person, so – but I apologize. I didn’t – I hope I didn’t offend you in any way…,” Joaquin replied.

“Oh, no – oh, no, no, no, I was not offended. I’m telling you, it was so much fun. It was batting practice, you know what I mean? Every one of them was a dinger,” Dave chimed in.

“Well, we’d hoped to come on a talk show,” Phoenix laughed, “and I was looking for a beat down, and I got one…I want to thank you for that.”

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green: Tanning Twosome

Spending the midweek afternoon alongside one another, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were spotted out in Studio City, CA on Wednesday (September 22).

With both dressed casually in t-shirts, relaxing pants and sneakers, the married couple headed to a local tanning salon to get a little color as they tended to the day's agenda.

In related news, Megan's former co-star Shia LaBeouf recently spoke with press about the absence of Miss Fox in the third installment of "Transformers".

He told MTV News: "I think there are positives and negatives to her not being [in the film]. It's awesome that we get the discovery again, I think when everybody's vetted and everybody's been through these wars, then that discovery of the first film is nonexistent."

The 24-year-old added, "It's kind of beautiful in that we get a new set of eyes, a fresh set of eyes for the audience to vibe with so you get the discovery again, which is something that wouldn't happen if Megan came back."
