Sadly, the united front presented by Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones during their shittiest times lately has come to an end — a source claims that the two have separated. 😐
“They’re taking a break. The stress has taken a toll on their marriage. They want the best for their kids, no matter what happens.”
The two have been married since 2000, but shit got shitty lately. Said crappy years include, but are not limited to: Douglas’ nearly-fatal battle with throat cancer, Zeta-Jones twice checking herself into a psychiatric facility to deal with her Bipolar II disorder, Douglas’ son Cameron getting 5 years in prison for possession of heroin and dealing meth, Douglas sort of implying that going down on Zeta-Jones GAVE him cancer before clarifying about HPV, et cetera, and Douglas having to see Rob Lowe’s fully-made-up face in Behind the Candelabra for months on end.

Foxx used to be Tom Cruise’s best friend, incidentally. [Radar Online]
