In an interview set to air on the Oprah Winfrey Show today, Michael Douglas says wife Catherine Zeta-Jones was forced to reveal her bipolar disorder. “I must say, Catherine’s being quite open about it because she was outed, you know,” Douglas said.

Douglas says his wife’s decision to speak out about her illness was motivated by a desire to “get out the story” before someone leaked it:

In his first interview since undergoing cancer treatment, Michael Douglas tells NBC’s Matt Lauer his tumor is gone and he feels that he’s “got it beat.”

In the exclusive interview set to air Tuesday morning on NBC’s TODAY and Sunday night on NBC’s DATELINE, Douglas admits cancer stopped him in his tracks and has forced him to re-evaluate his life:

As we all know, different media outlets have different takes on the same story. We also know that tabloids don’t always tell the entire truth. However, this picture will probably do more to reenforce those two beliefs than any examples I could ever link to.

n Friday night, four networks simultaneously hosted the second “Stand Up 2 Cancer” live telethon to raise money and awareness of a ravaging, indiscriminate disease. For the second time, a small city’s worth of celebrities from film, TV, music — plus all the producers and technicians necessary to cut between them efficiently so as to cram them all into an hour — joined with survivors, advocates and health care professionals to raise awarness about all the ways in which cancer can strike, and urge viewers to contribute whatever they could to the ongoing, common search for a cure. It was a follow-up to 2008, when they raised $100million. Patrick Swayze was at that one. In 2010, one cast member short and millions upon millions lost to the disease in that interim, they did it again. Boom! Wrist slap from Hank Stuever of the Washington Post. Apparently it was too contrived. Perhaps he didn’t know he was watching a TELETHON.

The CBS Evening News is making a major change – and it involves Morgan Freeman.

The iconic actor, who is generating Oscar buzz for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in Invictus will be the new “voice” of the program. A celebrity as the voiceover guy – three is now officially a trend.
