'Jealous': Catherine Zeta-Jones chats to Ellen DeGeneres about her husband Michael Douglas kissing Matt Damon in their upcoming film on her talk show on Wednesday

When the talk show host brings up Michael's role in the risque film, Catherine says: 'I know if my husband’s going to kiss anyone let it be Matt Damon.'
Ellen informs Catherine that she has kissed Damon before and that the actor is a great kisser.
'Matt’s a good kisser. I’ve had the privilege... He’s been on the show and we kissed here,' she says.

Glad: The Welsh actress says if she could pick any male co-star for her husband to kiss it would be Damon

Catherine then suggests that Ellen and and her husband should swap notes, telling her that she wishes she was the one kissing the hunky Bourne star.
'I have never kissed Matt Damon. I’m so jealous,' she purrs.
The raven-haired star then recalls the moment she once told Michael that she was sharing a passionate embrace with former co-star Brad Pitt.

She says that despite Brad being one of the most hottest actors in the industry, Michael was incredibly supportive.
'I’ve kissed Antonio Banderas and Brad Pitt. I remember the day when I had to work and I had to kiss Brad Pitt and Michael asked me what scene I’m doing today, I said, "I‘m in bed with Brad Pitt". He went, "go for it girl".'
Catherine and Michael have endured several personal obstacles in recent years, including her struggle with bipolar II disorder and his fight with throat cancer.

Opening up: Catherine opens up about her and her husband's health issues on the show

Ellen tells Catherine that she's is happy to see her and her family now doing so well.
'Yeah, these things are sent to try us and um, we’re not the only couple who’s gone through adversity and we’ve come out the other side stronger, healthier and much better and everything is going great and we move on,' the actress says.
Catherine tells the talk show host that while sometimes she wishes the couple's issues could remain out of the public eye, she hopes that their story can help others.
'There are certain things you’d like to keep private but um, the profession that I chosen to be in which I love,' she says.

 

Having a hula of a time: Catherine also shows Ellen how she keeps in shape with her new work-out routine of Hula Hooping

 

 

What a pro: The actress appears to have been Hula Hooping for some time now

'Sometimes it’s hard to hold on to the privacy issues that you’d like to hold closer to your heart but hey, if my issues and Michael’s issues will help one person in this country or the world then it’s fine by me.
The actress tells Ellen that Michael is currently cancer-free, but his immune system is a little weaker these days, causing the actor to recently become ill with the flu.
'It was a rough ride there for a while but he’s kind of had the flu not “The Flu Bug” he’s been a little under the weather,' she says. 'He’s immune system I presume isn’t exactly up to what it used to be but he’s in great health.'

 

Having a ball: The pair have a ball doing the exercise on live television

Michael's HBO film, which will air this year, is based on Thorson's autobiographical book Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace and was filmed last summer.
Douglas is a year older than Liberace when he died of AIDS related pneumonia in 1987 and it's believed this movie deals with the latter years of the pianist's life as he sought to suppress rumours of his homosexuality despite being sued by former live-in lover Thorson for palimony.
Thorson was Liberace’s lover for five years and met the entertainer when he was 17.

 

Flamboyant: Michael will hit our screens as the legendary music icon, Liberace in HBO movie, Behind the Candelabra

 

His side of the story: Matt Damon will play Liberace's lover Scott Thorson

The Ave Maria singer was famed for being the world's highest-paid entertainer at one point, and enjoyed his fortune with an extravagant lifestyle.

Happy couple: Catherine and Michael pose together at an event in September 2012

But the romance ended due to the pianist's sexual promiscuity and Thorson's drug addiction, which led him to contract Hepatitis C.
Damon opened up about his role to Playboy magazine last year.
'Normally I’d say no to nudity, but I just did a lot of it playing the long-term partner of Liberace,'he said. 'I mean, it’s tastefully done. But this movie’s not going to be for everyone.'
The actor also discussed his love scenes with Douglas, and even complemented him on his kissing technique.
'Michael was a wonderful kisser,' he laughed. 'My concerns ended up mattering a lot less once we were filming. The dynamic between the men was complex and interesting.
'Liberace was very powerful and adored, a great showman making $50,000 a week doing his act in Vegas. Scott was much younger and grew up in foster homes, so there was a lot to play.'
In fact, Matt described how the two actors thought hard about how to act out their scenes of passion.
'We both have a lot of gay friends, and we were not going to screw this up,' said the actor. 'It wasn’t the most natural thing in the world to do, though. Like, for one scene, I had to come out of a pool, go over to Michael, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him.

Too big for her boots! Suri Cruise wears knee-high leather flats and a furry coat as she goes for a milkshake with Katie Holmes

She caused controversy when she stepped out in a pair of high heels at the age of four.
But these days Suri Cruise's fashion has seemingly toned down a bit.
But on Wednesday, the six-year-old was once again seen dressing older for her age as she stepped out in a pair of flat leather boots and a furry coat.

 

Too big for her boots: Suri Cruise stepped out in knee-high leather flat boots and a furry coat as she visited the Shake Shack with her mother Katie Holmes in New York on Wednesday

Suri was heading out with her mother for a milkshake at Shake Shack in New York when she debuted the new footwear.
Her snazzy boots and pink coat were paired with a more age appropriate grey pinafore dress and white shirt worn underneath.
The youngster had her brunette locks out with a pretty braid at the side, and the hairstyle was pushed back with a cute neon headband.

Follow the leader: The actress walked ahead of her daughter whilst she held her hand, and in the other she carried a collection of Suri's toys

She also had her fingernails painted with green varnish.
Suri and Katie were ferried to the milkshake parlour by a large SUV.

The mother-of-one had dressed down for the outing in a pair of black wide-leg trousers and her new favourite jacket, an army-green parka with fur-lined collar.

In comparison to Suri's luxurious leather boots, the Broadway star opted for some cosy plain flats.
It was recently revealed that the single mother won’t get the chance to show off her latest clothing collection at Fashion Week in February.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, the actress-turned-designer will be missing out on what would be an amazing promotion next month, although it is not clear why.
The publication reported on Tuesday: ‘Katie Holmes will be sitting out next month’s New York Fashion Week.’
This means that the single mother will have even more time to spend with Suri when she is not developing her style collection.

 

High heels at four: Suri caused controversy when she stepped out in a pair of high heels at the age of four

Her fashion label Holmes & Yang – which she co-designs with her stylist Jeanne Yang - made its New York Fashion Week debut last season but to mixed reviews.
After her play Dead Accounts ended its run prematurely recently, she signed on as the face and co-owner of Alterna Haircare.
The former Dawson’s Creek star will pose for Alterna's print campaign and contribute to the company's ‘product and initiatives’ as well as having a financial stake in the company as a co-owner.

'I see a cool guy!' Kris Humphries makes fun of himself in new Foot Locker commercial... but not everyone gets the joke

He probably thought it would be a good PR move to show he had a sense of humour.
But Kris Humphries has been mocked for starring in a new Foot Locker commercial in which he makes fun of himself.
The commercial jokingly reveals Houston Rockets star James Harden forced one of his friends to join Mr Kim Kardashian's entourage as punishment for not having the latest trendy new shoes on.

 

Foot Locker - Mirror feat. James Harden + Kris Humphries

One of the player's friends says: 'You remember what happened to Maurice.'
James adds: 'I traded him to Kris Humphries’ entourage.'
It then cuts to Kris standing in front of a full-length mirror with one of his loyal sidekicks lathering him with praise.
He tells the 27-year-old power forward: 'You know what I see in that mirror? A changed man.'
The New Jersey Jets player then asks: 'What do you see, Maurice?'

 

Harden fast rule: A member of James' entourage is shown being warned he could pay the penalty for wearing uncool trainers

 

Inferior position: It then cuts to a picture of his old lackey being forced to watch Kris Humphries trying on clothes

 

Cool guy: His unenthusiastic toady is then forced to lather the NBA journeyman with praise

The hanger-on replies: 'I see a guy. A cool guy.'
The delighted NBA journeyman says: 'Yeah…cool guy.'
However an internet wit named Flash Gordon had no hesitation in using the clip as a stick to beat the reality television personality with.
He tweeted: 'AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA the new footlocker commercial made Kris Humphries look like such a douche!! Even footlocker knows hes a tool!!'

 

Footing the bill: Foot Locker will have paid a pretty penny to get the stars to promote their chain

 

However not everyone was so dismissive of his efforts, with one fan called Kirsten Fleming telling him in a twitter message: 'Well done. Cool guy.'
And another named Josh Childress said: 'Might be the funniest thing you've done Kris. I actually laughed at you.'
The man himself was obviously delighted with it too, for he posted a link to it on his page and wrote: 'Boom! Just debuted my new footlocker commercial with jharden13! Check it out. Approved.'
It’s not Kris’ first attempt in front of the camera, as he also did a Funny or Die video in December in which he was

Tissot PRS 516 Retrograde

It is no secret that I really like cars, but did you know that I am also keen on watches? You likely did not as I have yet to write on the subject or elude to my timepiece aficionado status. Let's go ahead and change that with a full review of the Tissot PRS 516 Retrograde after the jump.
 
I feel that a watch, much like driving shoes, is a personal and subjective endeavour. Sure a watch needs to tell time, but it also tells others about you. It need not be flashy or even expensive to convey feelings of style and function.

I personally am partial to chronographs, being a product of the digital age I like the extra dials and movement. I enjoy timing the duration a boring professor's lecture (last night it was 2 hours and 43 minutes) or how long it takes a State Trooper to write me a speeding ticket (13 minutes flat).

I own about a dozen watches and wear very few of them. The majority of my "higher end" collection were gifts and thusly hold sentimental value so they are relegated to the dark confines of my safety deposit box. This makes me a fan of pieces that retail for less than 1k. It is not hard to find watches at this price point on sale as they often have an already artificially inflated MSRP.

The beauty of this price range is that there are a ton of good manufactures making watches at this price level, there are but only a handful of watch makers in the 20k+ range. A watch priced around 350-1k is desirable as it hovers around the outermost ring of pretentiousness while not inviting street thugs to roll you in a dark alley or unlit parking ramp.

This brings us to the subject of this review, the Tissot PRS 516 Retrograde. The PRS 516 has a stainless case and bracelet, quartz movement, water resistance to fifty meters and has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. The piece also boasts 3 sub-dials used to track hours, minutes and seconds in addition to a date-calender window.

The look of the face of the PRS 516 is pure race-car inspired with checkered flag accents and bold chrono features. The automotive styling cues are anything but subtle.

Tissot also make a Nascar watch, a timepiece so hideous I doubt it will grace a wrist connected to even the reddest of necks. Also, Tissot is part of Swatch group. You recall Swatch don't you? I still hold Swatch in contempt for making those awful day-glow watches on the wrist of every teenybopper mallrat. Both of these factors dimish and hinder the PRS 516 potential for greatness.

All that being said, the PRS 516 looks nice on my wrist, I have received many compliments on it and it is now part of my watch rotation. It is often commented on by strangers and I welcome the attention of others being drawn to my skinny wrist rather than my multiple chins.

Tissot PRS 516 Watch Hands-On

Other than displaying the time, date and chronograph instruments, a watch says a lot about the person who wears it. Since way back when, timepieces were and still continue to be an important accessory one can wear. And although you may wear a fancy watch, you'll end up reaching for your smartphone to tell the time more often than not. It's a habit that came to be as a result of modern society. But some of us feel weirdly incomplete without wearing one. And we're not ashamed to admit that we too reach deep into our pockets for that conveniently back-lit digital clock that just so happens to be our everything device.
Our hands-on today includes the Swiss-made PRS 516 watch by a company called Tissot. You may or may not recall the name immediately, but chances are that you've seen one of their watches at a watch boutique and just about everywhere watches are sold. Tissot PRS has been around for years and they've been in the Swiss watch making biz since 1853, which is proudly stamped on every watch face Tissot makes.
Tissot watches are known to be in the affordable category as far as known brand named watched are concerned. The PRS 516, which our friends at Ticwatches kindly let us get our hands on, is actually a part of an entire series of Tissot's Sport lineup which includes a magnitude of styles and color flavors. This particular PRS 516 model we've got here is the T0444172105100 that retails for $550, or at a more pleasant $330 over at Ticwatches. Tissot's PRS 516 is a chronograph watch with a quartz movement that features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal surrounded by a beautiful black metal tachymeter bezel (static), and can submerged under water down to depths of 330ft/100m.
Attached is a rather bold looking stainless steel wrist strap finished off with a subtle brushed metal finish and high-polished trimmed edges throughout the watch casing, strap, chrono and crown buttons. The dial on this model is black contrasted with flaming red hands that give this watch its sporty, speedometer-like style that we really like. You can also get this same exact model with a white dial and black bezel for a more brighter color scheme. It has a 43mm case diameter that wears nicely on your wrist without looking too big or too small.

This watch is without a shadow of a doubt classy, yet it's also flashy at the same time. You have those three circular chrono sub dials that have a high level of polish which reflects light surrounding you very brightly. This probably isn't the ideal casual watch for day-to-day use as its quite hefty. Besides having chrono dials, there's a small date display, a must on any watch.
The PRS 516 is a proper analog men's watch (sorry there ladies), with that very familiar sporty watch design inspired by 1960s motorsport racing. It even has a steering wheel stamped on its case back. By no means is this a unique watch, but it's not a boring one either. In fact, we actually think the PRS 516 has a lot going on. That numeral-less watch face is very much legible, however, we're afraid to say that when night falls, you won't see a thing. While there are plenty of luminescent indicators, the don't shine quite as bright as we'd hoped. What's more is that if you take using the chronograph seriously, the PRS 516 isn't the most accurate watch to be using for such purpose. We tried retuning it, but it seems to be off my a hair.

Taking a closer look at the quality of the PRS 516, one will notice that while the build quality is adequate, the craftsmanship is not up to par with a watch that costs upwards of $1,000. Now granted you're paying half that much for the PRS 516, and for what you end up paying you won't be disappointed by the quality of construction. In other words, you're not getting more than you pay for. It's worth noting that the black bezel doesn't have a fine finish to it and is prone to scuffing. The watch feels solid and quite heavy for a 43mm size, so that's something to take note of. The chrono push buttons are large and easy to press with great tactile response given by them.

If you're looking for a classy dress watch with some eye-catching oumph to it, the Tissot PRS 516 is an affordable choice we would recommend you take a look at for $330. If it was up to us, we would look for something else instead of paying full retail price for the PRS 516.

Top knot-ch! Youthful Jennifer Lopez, 43, pulls back the years... with a very tight bun

We are used to seeing her with her caramel locks flowing and adding to her endless sex appeal.
But Jennifer Lopez went for an entirely different hairdo on Tuesday – which made for a very striking look.
The singer and actress scraped her tresses within an inch of their lives into an extremely tight top knot.

 

New look: Jennifer Lopez wore her hair in a severe top knit for lunch in Beverly Hills on Tuesday

As a result J-Lo, 43, cut a youthful figure for a lunch outing to Bouchon in Beverly Hills.
She was dressed all in white, sporting a long top and wide-leg trousers, with a chunky belt at her tiny waist.
The former American Idol just gave a hint of her wild side with leopard print accessories in the form of pumps and an oversized clutch bag.

 

Hair-story: The singer and actress appeared to have scraped her tresses back as much as possible to style the bun

 

Sticking to one colour: The 43-year-old wore an all-white outfit of long-sleeved top, wide-leg trousers and chunky waist belt

No doubt Jennifer was delighted to be having a day off amid a whirlwind of public appearances to promote her new movie Parker.
The star plays a newly divorced woman in the film, which has led to her opening up about her marriage to Marc Anthony breaking down during the interviews.
On Friday Jennifer, who is dating toyboy Casper Smart, told Katie Couric that having her two twins, Max and Emme, ask questions about the divorce continues to make it difficult.

Making the most of her day off: Jennifer has been busy promoting her new movie so was clearly enjoying a break to have lunch at Bouchon

'I actually just wrote a song about it and just recorded it funnily enough, because I wanted to explain to them without out explaining it to them. It is a beautiful song.
'But there something inside of me that was struggling with that part of things.'
When asked what she says to the almost five-year-olds the singer said: 'I feel like God gives me the words every time because every time they do it I get a rush of panic through my body and I'm like ''Oh my god, what do I say?''
'Again it is learning process, like with Marc, and I said maybe we should do some things together.'

 

 

 

That's more like it: The star is more often seen with her caramel locks flowing, such as last week at a Parker screening

The famous redhead, who often brings her girls with her on the set of HIMYM, was relieved that Satyana has accepted the role of big sister so well.

'The other day [Satyana] was hugging [Keeva] so hard I was like, "I think her head might pop off." I don’t want to be like, "Ooh!" because I don’t want her to have a complex about her sister,' the American Pie star told Peoplemagazine last month.

'But I’m like, "Oh you know, I don’t know if she can really breathe right now! That might just be a little too hard," and Keeva’s just as happy as [can be]. It’s so great.'
