Veteran actor Michael Douglas is happy to step aside so his wife can bask in the limelight, he says. He says the 25-year age gap between him and Welsh stunner Catherine Zeta Jones is good for their marriage because it eradicates any professional competition. The 61-year-old star says he lets Cat 'call the shots' because at 36 years of age she is 'in the prime of her career'. Douglas, who says he has 'been there and done that', adds that there is no competition between the couple for 'parts or attention'. He explains that on the red carpet, he is often asked by photographers to step aside so they can take a snap of his sexy celebrity wife on her own.'I have no problem with that and it makes for a more comfortable relationship,' the 'Basic Instinct' actor insists. And he isn't worried about competition from Catherine's younger co-stars because he believes she should be with someone older. 'I can see why it would be hard for her to be with someone closer to her own age,' Douglas adds. The pair, who wed nearly six years ago, have two children together.

A nude photo of pregnant US pop singer Britney Spears was given the green light on Friday by a subway censorship board after being rejected for being too "stimulating".
The advertisement for the October issue of Harper's Bazaar features a nude and very pregnant Spears crossing her arms over her breasts was originally censored by subway operator Tokyo Metro Co.After a revision to the "stimulating" design that blacks out Spears from the waist down the subway operator deemed the advertisement as fit for commuters as it shows the joy of bearing a child."We decided to accept the photo as it is because it expresses maternal love and joy of bearing a child," the Tokyo Metro spokesman said. "By revising the design, the initial intention to convey the message is not served."The magazine intended to project the moment when women appear most elated in their lives, Keiko Murakami, publishing editor, said.After reluctantly accepting the censorship HB Japan said they would include a statement on the blackened portion explaining why the design was altered from the magazine cover.

They are the sexiest couple in Hollywood, but family and friends are afraid that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will not be 'Brangelina' for much longer.Hollywood's golden couple have reportedly not been finding life together a bed of roses with constant fights and scraps putting an increasing strain on their relationship.While the two try to keep their relationship, that blossomed on the sets of Mr and Mrs Smith, on track, Ange is said to be buckling under the pressure of not only post-natal depression, but also the stress caused by her mother's illness, and the relentless media attention on them and their family.Pals say that Jolie in now desperate to escape the media circus surrounding her, and spend time travelling Africa while teaching her kids to be 'citizens of the world' – something Brad is not too keen on.
Also damaging their relationship is the fact that Pitt's family is still close to his ex wife, former 'Friends' star Jennifer Aniston, and the fact that his grandmother Betty Russell declared that the actor was not ready to tie the knot until he was sure that he and Jolie would be 'together for ever'.

A colleague was befriended by the actress while filming the hugely popular film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider said that the actress wants some 'sort of life', but she and Brad were being watched like “circus freaks”.“Having spoken to her, I just feel that Angelina is living like a caged animal. She and Brad are watched like circus freaks almost 24 hours a day, and I can't see how anyone can carry on like that. She wants something more than that sort of life and who can blame her?” the Daily Mail quoted the pal, as saying.“My concern is that she thinks Brad is completely on the same page and wants the same things, and I don't think he does. There's no doubt he is in love with her, but she carries a lot of baggage. She is most definitely not normal and that's one of the appealing things about her, but I think it takes someone pretty special as a partner to be able to deal with that. I think she just wants to run away,” the pal added.

Former Baywatch actress, Pamela Anderson says, that though she is enjoying her singlehood, she has been starved of sex lately.The sexy blonde reportedly claims to be single and says that she has not been getting any lovin' between the sheets, in a car, on a boat, or wherever.

"I'd love to get married again," she muses. "I mean being a single mom and working, you'd love to have a partner. But it just hasn't come about yet," said Anderson.

But, does it mean that all the possibility of the Agelina- Brad marriage is being ruled out?

No, it’s not. Paolo Moretti, an Italian reporter for Il Corriere Di Como is reported to have said, “We heard they are expected to arrive here in Como on Thursday or on Saturday.”

The former child star fears her tiny stature rules her out of too many roles.She says, "I don't think that's ever going to happen for me.

I have a feeling I am way too small."

Actress Angelina Jolie, who stayed at a Los Angeles hotel with her children two weeks ago, is back home with actor Brad Pitt, but sleeping in a separate room.The Academy Award-winning actress gave birth to the couple's daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, two months ago and said she wants to sleep near the baby, Radiosargam.com reported.
