Is Catherine ready for diaper duty again?
Our latest candidate for Wild Rumor of the Week: Catherine Zeta-Jones is pregnant with her third child!
This murmur, from Star magazine, says that she and husband Michael Douglas have been trying for another child, which would be Catherine’s “dream gift” after the last few troubled years for the couple.
They already have two children – Dylan, who turns 12 this summer, and Carys, who will be 8 in the spring.
As the magazine notes, a new baby would be something of a “miracle,” considering that Catherine is already 42 and Michael is a more grandfatherly 67. Their health is also a concern: Michael has been battling throat cancer, and Catherine was treated for bipolar disorder last year.
If the rumors are true, it could be the beginning of brighter days for the couple both personally and professionally. Catherine is currently filming the screen version of the Broadway musical hit Rock of Ages. The pictures here are from a recent day of shooting. Is there a tiny hint of a baby bump here, or is it just a trick of the camera?
What do you think? Is she pregnant again? Do you support midlife parenthood, or is it too late for Catherine and Michael to raise another baby?

Happy Birthday to both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
Celeb mom Catherine-Zeta Jones is turning 42 today, September 25th, 2011. In a funny coincidence, today also happens to be her husband Michael Douglas’s 67th birthday as well! I think it’s safe to say that neither one of them ever has to worry about forgetting the other’s birthday each year!
Catherine and Michael will likely be having a laid-back celebration at home tonight with their two children, Dylan and Carys.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is such a classic beauty, and she also has such a classic and traditional sense of style. She always looks elegant, both on the red carpet and in her day-to-day life.
Catherine Zeta Jones is back to enjoying her family life.
It looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones is getting back to life as usual since going public about her struggle with bipolar disorder.
This week, she was a presenter 2011 Tony Awards and made her first public appearance in the limelight since receiving treatment.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is "doing great" according to husband Michael Douglas.
Michael Douglas said his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, is doing great with her recently diagnosed bipolar disorder.
The 41-year-old actress checked into a mental health facility last month to deal with her illness.
Douglas, who was present at an event honoring James Earl Jones on Monday (May 9), said, “[Catherine’s] doing great! She’s filming in Louisiana right now so she couldn’t make it.”
Catherine-Zeta Jones is getting treatment for bipolar disorder at a mental health facility. The Oscar award winning mother’s move to get treatment is very brave and it will help so many people by shedding light on a disease that is misunderstood!
New research shows that Bipolar disorder is chronically under-treated. A recent study by the government indicates that less than half of those with bipolar disorder – also known as manic-depressive illness — received mental health treatment during their lifetimes.
By getting the help she needs, Catherine Zeta-Jones will lessen the stigma associated with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is much more common than people think and quite a few celebrity moms have struggled with the this illness. Continue reading »
Catherine Zeta-Jones spent five days in mental health facility
Catherine Zeta-Jones spent five days in a mental health facility for treatment of bipolar disorder.
“After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her bipolar II disorder,” a rep said in a statement. “She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.”
Here are four other celebrity moms who have dealt with mental illness:
Before Halle Berry was a mom, she attempted suicide with carbon monoxide poisoning, as she told Parade, after her marriage to baseball star David Justice crumbled and depression set in. Berry has stated publicly that she was so depressed after her breakup with Justice that she considered taking her own life but she could not bear the thought of her mother finding her body.
Brooke Shields put postpartum depression front and center in 2005 when Tom Cruise criticized her use of antidepressants after the birth of her daughter Rowan. Shield talks frankly about her extreme, sometimes suicidal, feelings in Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression.
“If I had been diagnosed with any other disease, I would have run to get help. I would have worn it like a badge,” Shields told People magazine. “I didn’t at first—but finally I did fight. I survived.”
Catherine Zeta Jones has checked herself into a facility to treat her bipolar disorder. It’s no wonder that she has been struggling, after the year that she has had, trying to keep a brave face for her children in light of husband Michael Douglas’s fight with cancer.
But, now that Michael Douglas is recovering, Catherine Zeta Jones could deal with her feelings. Continue reading »
