They opted against the Michael Douglas--Catherine Zeta-Jones pimp-your-wedding-pictures thing, but details of the nuptials of MADONNA and director GUY RITCHIE at Skibo, a 13th century Scottish castle, have nevertheless made their inexorable entrance into the public conversation. The bride, 42, wore a dress designed by maid of honor Stella McCartney, an antique veil and a 37-carat diamond-cross necklace on loan from Harry Winston; the groom, 32, sported a kilt, as did the couple's four-month-old son ROCCO. Among the 60 or so invitees were some famous people (Gwyneth Paltrow, Sting...
...short on his stylistic touches ("It was an exercise in control for me," he says), Traffic is pure Soderbergh. Visually eclectic and alternately jarring and sentimental, it jump-cuts energetically among three stories. While Douglas' character juggles his public duties and private anguish at home in Cincinnati, Ohio, Catherine Zeta-Jones stars as a pregnant San Diego housewife who takes charge of the family business when her drug-lord husband is arrested, and Benicio Del Toro plays a Mexican cop lured into a Tijuana drug ring...
...toward the lowest levels of degradation. Another is about an honest Mexican drug-enforcement officer (a marvelously watchful Benicio Del Toro) mystified by the cruel omnipotence of Tomas Milian, who is more or less Wakefield's Hispanic counterpart. The final story is of a San Diego material girl (Catherine Zeta-Jones) whose lifestyle is threatened when her husband is arrested for high-level trafficking. She proves to be a very tough nut when she takes over the family business...
Quick! who signs million-dollar paychecks for Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas, Dennis Quaid, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese? Would you believe a German company with a name that could come from a Mel Brooks farce? Cologne-based Splendid Media is co-producing the movie Traffic, which Zeta-Jones, Douglas and Quaid are filming. Splendid is also putting up $65 million of the $90 million needed for the Scorsese-DiCaprio movie The Gangs of New York. And if all goes according to plan, it will funnel more than $100 million into a series of co-productions with Zeta-Jones' production...
...anybody has the right to throw a shameless multi-million dollar storybook wedding that spares no expense, it should be Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. After all, Douglas is a freakin' billionaire and well, he's never gonna get a girl like Catherine again. (Let me say for the record, that I still am floored by the fact that she had a baby. That means they had/have sex. Yikes.) Why, then, did they have to turn it into such a sketchy affair? First, Douglas secured an exclusive $1.4 million deal with OK! Magazine to publish the official wedding photos...
