MICHAEL DOUGLAS TALKS ABOUT HIS FIRST SEXY TIMES

Michael Douglas is not mentioning his recently jailed son at all in an interview with Elle, but instead opens up about his teenage sexploits and his famous handsome father Kirk. He tells the mag about his experiences with older ladies at a young age:
"There were a couple friends of my mother's when I was 16 and they were 30. I wouldn't want to get any of them in trouble, but they're probably all dead by now."
On his father hitting on his lady friends:
"I wouldn't even dare bring one home with him around. Look, he's been happily married for 55 years, so I don't want to get into this in great depth, but he's always been an outrageous flirt, and he takes no prisoners. In the years before I met Catherine, there were a couple ladies who met him to whom he gave his most impressive showing. But that's healthy."
And on his real-life Fatal Attraction moment:
"I remember one woman who'd been pursuing me, and I'd gone back home and was in bed with another lady. At an unbelievably inopportune moment, she popped out of the closet. Let's just say that took care of the rest of the night."
Aw, Hollywood family times. Must be exciting. [source]

MICHAEL DOUGLAS' SON GETS FIVE YEARS IN PRISON

Both Michael Douglas and his ex-wife, Diandra, were on hand in court for the sentencing of their son Cameron today. Cameron had plead guilty to conspiracy to distribute drugs and was sentenced today to five years in prison, followed by fiver years under observation, 450 hours of community service, and a $25,000 fine. The normal sentence for this crime is ten years, but the Judge and goverment agreed that Cameron qualified for a lesser sentence. Michael had plead for leniency in Cameron's case, even taking some of the blame for how he raised his son. In a written statement before the sentencing Michael wrote that Cameron's childhood was marred by a "bad marriage" and "the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father.” While I think Cameron has to take responsibilty as an adult for his actions, I do think it's admirable for Michael to admit that his failings as a father might have lead his son down the wrong path. Cameron did say that he felt bad about missing out on opportunities to overcome his addiction in the past to herion and "as a result, I squandered a lot of them. If I should be so fortunate as to have another chance, I will never squander that opportunity.” U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman noted, "in my estimation, that (overcoming his addiction) will be a very difficult chore. I think this case and this sentencing may well be his last chance to make it." Here's hoping he can still turn his life around. [source][image]

MICHAEL DOUGLAS SAYS HE PUT CAREER OVER PARENTING

Michael Douglas' son, Cameron, was recently arrested and faces ten years in prison for trafficking meth (yikes!). Michael is now saying that he feels he played a role in his son's downfall. He tells Vanity Fair's Evgenia Peretz "My priorities were very similar [to my father's]. Career first." He reveals that his own father, legendary actor Kirk Douglas, was distant and hostile towards his sons. "He was a very intense, talented survivalist. He was consumed with clawing out and making something of himself, and he probably was a little early in his career to have children. Certainly didn't get a chance to enjoy them until later in life." Michael is saying that he wants to do things right this time around with his child with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Oh, great. I am sure Cameron is happy to hear that little nugget. Cameron is a grown man and will be facing his consequences for what he did, but it is sad to hear a parent admit that he failed his kids. Hopefully everyone will learn a lesson from this Hollywood story. The full interview with Vanity Fair will be available March 3rd. [source and image]

MATT DAMON AND MICHAEL DOUGLAS TO PLAY LOVERS IN NEW FILM

WHAT? Talk about an odd couple. ha. Michael Douglas recently let it slip that Matt Damon will play his young lover in a movie about the life of famed musician Liberace. Guess which one is Liberace. If you guessed Matt Damon, YOU'RE AN IDIOT. Just kidding. You're probably not. Michael revealed, " Matt Damon's going to be my young love, " adding, "God bless Matt. He's right to take chances. It's smart to mix it up a bit and maintain the [Bourne trilogy] franchise and still get to do a picture that turns you on." How 70s of him to say "turns you on". I'm guessing CZJ doesn't let him speak to her in that manner. Anyway, should be interesting. Will Michael playing gay get him an Oscar? Hope so. I think it will be fun anyway. [source]
