Catherine Zeta Jones has bought an ad in Hollywood trade mag Variety to tell Celine Dion just how great she is. Jones spent something like £11,500 on a full-page ad to say "Celine. We can't wait to see your show! All our best wishes, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones." The show referred to is Dion's long awaited residency at Las Vegas's Caesar's Palace.
Variety always cashes in on personal announcements at this time of year with the studios keen to let everyone know which of their films is up for an Oscar. Douglas meanwhile Douglas last week took an ad praising his wife's work on the film Chicago – it read: "Dear Catherine/Mom, we know how hard you worked and we know what a joy it turned out to be. We love you, Michael.”
Anyone wishing to spend $11,500 including a personal message in the CMU Daily is welcome to call.
