[HMG Celebrity News] – In a sequel to yesterday’s story on Michael Douglas and his battle with cancer, his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones has now told reporters she’s ‘furious’ at the Doctors who failed to spot the disease.

Catherine, 40, who married Douglas in November 2000, said her 65-year old husband had complained of pain in his ears and throat for some time, but the walnut-size tumor was only found three weeks ago.

“It makes me furious they didn’t detect it earlier,” she told the Mail. “He sought every option and nothing was found.”

But Catherine wasn’t greatly surprised when the cause of Michael’s discomfort was finally found.

“It wasn’t a huge shock,” she recalled. ‘I knew something was up. He knew something was up.”

Mr. Douglas has since begun an intense eight-week course of chemotherapy and radiation, but the cancer is now at stage four – meaning it’s grown, and spread to his neck and other parts of his head. Which is far more dangerous.

But while Catherine is furious about his delayed diagnosis, her husband seems more understanding.

“It had been bothering me for a while. I went through a litany of doctors and tests,” he told Dave Letterman on Tuesday. “These things sometimes just don’t show up.”

Dave then asked if he thought the doctors had found the cancer earlier enough

”I sure as s*** hope so!” was the measured response.

Meanwhile, Catherine says that she and Michael have now broken the news to their two children, Dylan, aged ten, and seven-year old Carys. But she’s having a hard time watching her husband being weakened by the disease.

“I know I should be stronger, but the hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.”

Douglas has been given an 80% chance of recovery by his doctors. We’ll keep you advised how that goes…

[HMG Celebrity News] – Several Hollywood celebrities lost money when Ken Starr, who is accused of running a vast Ponzi scheme, was finally arrested. And now Starr’s wife, Diane Passage, claims one of those victims, Wesley Snipes, is having her followed.

Diane, whom Starr met when she worked as a stripper at the ‘Scores’ club in Manhattan, claims people employed by the actor have been stalking her in a bid to get evidence to help Wesley’s case.

She also claims they waited outside her home – now dubbed ‘The Ponzi Palace,’ and also contacted her lawyer asking her to help Snipes avoid a pending three-year jail sentence for tax evasion.

“I was leaving home and noticed two men behind me,” she now tells the Post. “They stood out because they were wearing dark suits on a 90-degree day. They also contacted my attorney, and wanted information that might help Snipes. He was a client in 2000, before I met my husband. I have nothing to do with his taxes.”

Wesley was convicted in 2008 of failing to pay $12-million in taxes. He now wants a retrial, arguing that the jury were not told that Starr – who manged his money yet gave testimony against him – was being investigated for the fraud.

Starr was later arrested for allegedly stealing over $60-million from Snipes and other stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Carly Simon, Uma Thurman and Martin Scorsese. If convicted he faces 20 years in a federal prison.

Meantime, Diane seems convinced that she’s the real victim.

“My bank accounts have been frozen, so it’s difficult. I’m talking to pay-per-view TV about a pole-dancing competition. I ran one last year and it will soon be screened on a Romanian sports network.”

The case is ongoing, and so far Wesley’s reps are not talking. Calls to his lawyer also went unreturned. We’ll keep you advised how this goes…

(HMG)- She doesn’t call him daddy, but Life & Style reports that 15-year-old Ashley Horn’s birth certificate names Michael Lohan as her father!  Back in 1995 as we previously reported, Ashley’s mother Kristi allegedly had an affair with Michael, when he was separated from his wife Dina Lohan. Michael has denied that he is Ashley’s father when they first came forward back in 2008, but claimed he would take a DNA Test. But he apparently failed to show up for a court hearing back in December 2008, so the judge ruled that he could be added to the birth certificate.   Kristi also claims Michael owes $300,000 in child support, and says of her father:

“I do not trust him, and I don’t want to be around him or part of his life. I could never call Michael Lohan Dad.’ A dad is a person who is there for you and takes care of you.

While Ashley has not meet Lindsay, they are apparently of like mind on their father. Lindsay has fired off a scathing and threatening cease and desist letter to her dad, ordering him to stop selling her personal property, RadarOnline reports.

The troubled starlet accuses her father of attempting to sell excerpts of a hand-written diary she wrote while in drug rehabilitation at Cirque Lodge in Utah, in 2007.

The legal letter, dated the day before Lindsay was released from court-ordered rehab, says she had no idea her father had the diary and she did not give him permission to sell or distribute it.  According to Chapman Holley, Michael’s grab for cash is “shameful” and Lindsay is “appalled” at his move.  All of Michael’s posturing in front of the media about wanting to do what’s right for his daughter becomes meaningless when he’s pulling stuff like this behind the scenes.  Sad for Lindsay that enabling mother Dina is the only parent she can turn to.

(HMG) – Richard Gere is getting older, but don’t tell him he needs a stuntman. The 61-year-old dislocated his shoulder filming a fight scene in new thriller “The Double,” causing filming to stop for six weeks. Gere was shooting the scene with British actor Tamer Hassan, who made headlines earlier this year when he was involved in a real-life fight with fellow hard-man actor Vinnie Jones. Despite his injury, Gere is adamant he wants to continue with the physical scenes instead of relying on a body double, according to his co-star Tamer Hassan.

He tells London’s Daily Telegraph, “We had been rehearsing for four weeks every night and Richard was great, but he had a problem with his shoulder.

“I said, ‘Look Richard, just slip in where you can’. But, oh no, not Richard, he went: ‘I want to do it’. He did it and dislocated his shoulder.

“The production was shut down for six weeks because of Richard’s shoulder and I just got told on Monday that he is going to come back and do it himself again. So fair play to him, and he looks as beautiful as he always did.”

The Double is set for release next year.

(HMG) – Talk about a hot momma! Acting and looking like a teenager, Demi Moore, 47, proudly took photos of herself in a tiny bikini and posted them up on her Twitter page for the whole world to see.

Posing provocatively in her bathroom wearing the skimpy two-piece and shades, the mother-of-three used her iPhone to take the photographs.

Demi wrote: “Finally a day off,” along with a link to the sexy photos. “Maybe this is more like summer!”

Kutcher fired back:“I think Star magazine calling me a ‘cheater’ qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees,” he wrote on his Twitter page Wednesday.

“STAR magazine – you don’t get to stand behind ‘freedom of the press’ when you are writing fiction.”
