Celeb watch: Is Zeta-Jones marriage now on the rocks?

So Bermuda’s celebrity couple has split — at least temporarily.

According to People magazine, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have “unofficially separated”.

People quotes two sources close to the couple who say they are “taking a break”. They have been married for 13 years and have two children.

While it’s unclear if a legal separation as been filed, the announcement seems imminent, despite no statement coming from the couple.

Douglas and Zeta-Jones have faced many difficulties in their marriage including his throat cancer and her bipolar disorder.

It’s sad when a couple splits after being together for so long, especially if there are kids involved.

Mr Douglas’s mother was a Dill and the Bermuda family connections run deep. Douglas and Zeta-Jones own a home in Warwick and lived there until 2009 before relocating to New York. We wish them well. 

At Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards,  Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame performed her new song ‘We Can’t Stop’. It has been described on many websites as a minstrel show.

Cyrus looked like a cracked-out stripper with no rhythm — and yet insisted on shaking her non-existing booty, prancing around the stage in a barely there leotard and pretending to be black. (To be clear: I’m not saying she can’t be sexy but sexy was the furthest adjective from my mind).

The performance was a train wreck. I wanted to look away, yet I couldn’t. It was tacky and borderline racist. Cyrus had big booty black women on stage. She literally used them as props with teddy bears strapped to them. At one point she began to repeatedly smack one of them on the behind and even pushed her face into it.

The “performance” got worse when Robin Thicke came on stage and Cyrus stripped off her leotard to reveal a flesh-toned latex bikini. 

She then thought it would be a good idea to “twerk” on married Thicke and graze his groin area (see photo).

There were so many things wrong with this performance but the thing that sticks out to me is that this privileged white girl is now trying to adopt what she perceives is black culture.

She even said in an interview that she wanted her new music to have a “black sound” and said she loves “hood music”.

Miley, your imitation of our “culture” is offensive.
