Zeta-Jones, Douglas celebrate daughter's graduation
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are celebrating their daughter's graduation after she completed a film degree. The 80-year-old actor and Zeta-Jones, 55, have been married since November 2000 and as well as their girl Carys they have son, Dylan, 24, who also attended Brown University – graduating in 2022, just like his sister. Douglas– who is also father to 46-year-old son Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker, which lasted 18 years before ending in 2000 – marked Carys' milestone by posing for a photo that saw him and Catherine kissing Carys, 22, on each cheek as she stood in the middle of them beaming. Zeta-Jones posted the snap on her Instagram and captioned it: "We are both such proud parents right now!! It's only just begun!!" The image was taken the night before Carys' graduation ceremony, with her wearing a white full-length dress, while Douglas opted for a navy suit and Zeta-Jones was in a black two-piece suit. Carys received her degree in Film and International Relations from the Ivy League university, located in Providence, Rhode Island. Zeta-Jones, who starred in The Mask of Zorro, also posted more details from the celebrations on her Instagram stories, including a cake decorated with the message "Congratulations Graduation Class of 25" and group photos of Carys and her fellow graduates on the steps of the university. Other images showed emotional embraces and joyful moments shared among the graduating class. In a 2010 interview with AARP The Magazine, Douglas reflected on how fatherhood later in life had changed his perspective. He said: "My career was the most important thing in my life, followed by marriage and children. And it's completely reversed now. I never anticipated starting a family and the joy of raising kids at my age." Speaking to The Telegraph in 2024, Douglas also recounted an incident where he was mistaken for Carys' grandfather during a visit to the university. He said: "This is not grandfather's day, this is parents' day. I say, 'I am a parent. That was a rough one." Douglas also described how life had shifted as he and his wife entered a new phase of parenting. He added: "Catherine and I have been together, it'll be 25 years this year. So it's been a good ride and I've been very fortunate, happy with the choices that I've made and now am kind of really backing off and smelling the roses a little more, traveling more." The actor also called Carys and Dylan "extraordinary beings" and said they have been "a joy" to raise.

Rod Stewart has 'so much more music' to make and has 3 albums in the works
Sir Rod Stewart has "so much more music" he wants to make. The 80-year-old singer admitted he simply "cannot stop" making tunes, because his "passion for music" is still strong, so much so he has three albums in the pipeline. Speaking to AARP The Magazine, he said: "There's so much more music I want to create. "I've got a covers album, a country album, and a Faces album all in the works. I just can't stop. "Even when I'm spending time with my grandkids, my passion for music drives me. "I feel like I've done everything I've ever wanted, but there's still more to come." Rod also admitted he enjoys performing at concerts "more" now than when he was a young musician, and he can appreciate "how lucky [he's] been". He added: "When I feel I might be sick enough to cancel a concert, that's when I go, 'Maybe I'm getting old.' Then a couple of days later, bang, I'm back at it again." "I enjoy doing concerts more than I did back then. Maybe I've come full circle to appreciate how lucky I've been." In November, Rod confirmed he will play Glastonbury's legends slot at this year's festival. He wrote on Instagram at the time: "I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that I'll be playing Glastonbury Festival 2025! After all these years, I'm proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June. I'll see you there!" Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis posted: "Bringing Sir Rod Stewart back for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage is everything we could wish for. "What a way to bow out with the final legends slot before we take a fallow year. We cannot wait." The 'Maggie May' hitmaker will follow in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb and Kylie Minogue by playing the Sunday teatime slot. But Rod recently declared he is done with "large-scale world tours", once he finishes this year's shows in Europe and North America. The 'You Wear It Well' singer wrote on Instagram: "This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. "I love what I do, and I do what I love. "I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79. "I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not..."

Drew Barrymore says she won't ever have cosmetic surgery
Drew Barrymore wants to become 'kinder' to herself. The Hollywood star celebrated her 50th birthday in February. She's happy with where she is currently at in her life, insisting she has no intention of undergoing cosmetic surgery. In a behind-the-scenes moment on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress was asked to reveal her secret to 'ageing gracefully' and Barrymore replied: 'I haven't done anything and I want to try and stay that way ... but I also am, like, do whatever works for you. The only thing I do know is don't judge other people because they do things differently. 'We're all on our own path and we have to support each other. I see a lot of turkey neck or I have a lot of other time where I'm like 'Oh Wow, we're there now.'' Barrymore subsequently offered some thoughtful life advice to her fans. She said: 'I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us? 'So the kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face. 'A smile is better than any lipstick you'll buy, and internal dialogue that isn't so eviscerating of ourselves and so quick to catch a flaw — who says that's the flaw, by the way, that might be someone else's favourite thing about you ... how ironic. 'It isn't how you look, it's how you feel.' Earlier in 2025, Barrymore revealed that she was feeling 'so excited' to turn 50. The star also claimed that she's happier than she's ever been in her life. Barrymore — who has daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, with ex-husband Will Kopelman — told AARP The Magazine's February/March 2025 issue: 'It can't come soon enough. 'I feel like Frodo: I see that brass ring and I'm so excited! I have no issues with ageing — this is the happiest I've been in my life.'
