Catherine on 'Best Dressed List'!
Elle magazine just named Catherine the Most Stylish actress for the year! She was voted in by readers of the mag - who obviously have excellent tastes!
This is her second award after one by People magazine. Catherine was in their annual Ten Best Dressed list, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.
In their citation, the judges wrote that Catherine "looks the way we think a movie star should look" and that
"even if she's going to the supermarket, she realises she's onstage." On the 8-strong judging panel were fashion heavyweights such as British designer Samantha Shaw, who was responsible for Sophie Rhys-Jones' wedding gown.

Well, after receiving plenty of mail, many of them asking the same questions, I have decided to write a short FAQ for the site. Note that this FAQ is in response to questions I have been asked, and is not purely about Catherine.

It has been a great year - we started off as one of the only two websites dedicated to Catherine, and as Catherine's fame grew, so did we! Here's hoping the Catherine will have more great years ahead, and that we'll be there to bring you the latest news and pics always!
I'd also like to thank every one who bothered to write in, esp. those who have been inspired by this place to start their own sites promoting Catherine talent and beauty. Brings a lump to my throat. ;)

Guess Who's in Who's Who?
Consider this another indicator of Catherine's rising star - the lastest volume of International Who's Who, the bible of the world's famous and influential, has an entry for Catherine! She joins such illustrious figures as Osama bin Laden ( guerrilla leader/terrorist ), British Prime Minister Tony
Blair's official spokesman Alastair Campbell, French far-right politician Bruno Megret,
German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, Irish
singer Sinead O'Connor and US actor and rapper Will Smith.

Blockbuster Win! and FHM Sexiest Women - Catherine at No.4! But Singapore says No. 3!
- Catherine won the award for Best Actress - Newcomer at the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1999.
- Another 'honour' - Catherine made a huge jump in the rankings in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women 1999 - jumping from last year's 84 to Fourth this year! The Singaporeans have slightly better taste, and made Catherine 3rd in their local version of the FHM poll! ( By the way, topping both list was Sarah Michelle Geller - go figure...)
- She was also up for Best Actress - Fantasy at the recent 25 Annual Saturn Awards, which is awarded by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films. Um, no idea if she won, so please drop me a line!
- Well, Catherine didn't win anything at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards, tho she was nominated for Breakthrough Performance - Female and Best Fight with Antonio Bandaras. But Man! Being paired up to present Best Kiss with Ricky Martin to present... I'd say they were the best looking pair around!

Movie News!
Well, Catherine is getting very busy with her film career!
- If you don't already know it, Entrapment starred Sean Connery and Catherine, and was pretty much a bone-fide hit! Check out entrapped! with Catherine Zeta-Jones, my unofficial Entrapment page, for the latest news!
- Released on July 23 will be Jan de Bont's The Haunting, a remake of a horror movie based on a book ( got that? ). Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson), is intrigued by
the haunted Hill House's storied past, and draws three people to the mansion
for what he tells them is a sleep disorder study. Catherine plays Theo , a woman of the world whose outward bravado isn’t
all it seems.
- Catherine will be the female lead in
the romantic sci-fi thriller The Tenth Victim, a remake of the 1965 Italian film, "La Decima
Vittima" that will be directed by Lee Tamahori. The story will be based around a future utopia where man's need for violence is
focused on organized killing games. Catherine and another rival male contestant
will play love interests as they rebel against the system.
- Catherine will also have a cameo role in High Fidelity, which is based on a novel by Nick Hornsby. The movie will star John Cusack as a record store owner wants to get back together with his latest ex-girlfriend, despite the
various diversions he tries to engage himself in.

Catherine at the Oscars!
Well, Catherine made a splash on Oscar Sunday, with her stunning looks and fire-red dress - so much so
that she won the Mr ShowBiz Fashion Face-Off
, with tops in terms of Dress, Hair, Elegance, and Sex Appeal!
As for her brief appearance as a presenter, catch it again on Realplayer at 411 on CZJ under their media section.
It was enough, though, to make E! Online gush She's a stunner, and
so was Zeta-Jones'
Versace gown. Why?
First, it was a luscious
deep red--a color that
suits brunettes but is
usually passed over in
favor of something
safe, like black. And,
second, it fit.
Strapless dresses are
tricky--Kim Basinger's
was so tight it choked
her, Liv Tyler's was so
loose it looked
homemade. And give
the Welsh newcomer
bonus points for
passing up the
diamonds.
Mr ShowBiz considered her one of the top five high points of the show,
saying The Welsh stunner made one of the most memorable
Oscar debuts in recent years in a fitted, red Versace
strapless. The only thing we liked better than
Zeta-Jones' dark locks tumbling down her pale back
(a nice, simple contrast to the evening's many glittery
up-dos) was her elegant, lilting burr. Loved it!
And there are more pictures on the Official Oscar.com site, as well as on E! Online!

Catherine in Malaysia
Mustafa Khamal wrote to say...
"Shooting is taking place at the Petronas Twin Towers currently the
world's tallest building(s)
While Sean Connery couldn't seem to go out so easily Catherine managed
to go shopping at the KLCC Suria which is an exclusive shopping complex
situated at the Petronas Twin Towers.
She was accompanied by hotel security but managed to shop without being
recognised."
Simon also contributed this article...
The plot thickens on the set of Entrapment - the Sean Connery-Catherine
Zeta Jones outing - as Dynasara Sdn Bhd (the local agent for the movie)
officials, publicists and security personnel continue to fend off roving
reporters who are hungry for some information, any information, on the
movie.
It's been more than a week since filming began (in Malacca and at the
Kuala Lumpur City Centre) and except for a brief Press conference - with
Connery making a two-minute appearance or something like that - a couple
of days after the cast and crew arrived, everything else about the movie
is still a big secret.
Save for several shots of the elusive stars, staking out at the Bukit
Jalil LRT station where the crew shot for for three days, from as early
as 7am proved to be fruitless.
SAY CHEESE! ... Zeta-Jones is captured here on location in Malacca minus
the sultry smile that sent male hormones into overdrive in 'The Mask of
Zorro'
The attitude surrounding the production is perhaps best illustrated by
Dynasara's Shan S. Iman, a production assistant for the US$80 million or
RM304 million movie: "We don't need any publicity for this production.
This is (a) Hollywood (movie), you know. Malaysia is just a small
market."
As if we didn't know that. What arrogance! And all the
reporters/photographers wanted was to be allowed to take long shots of
the actors, who were walking in and out of their trailers and make-up
room before filming began.
The man then went on to insult our intelligence by saying that shooting
would not commence as long as the Press members were there. And we were
a good distance away from where the actual "action" was taking place!
Heck, we couldn't even see the camera and other filming paraphernalia
from where we were.
If - as Shan seemed to suggest - just the thought of the Press being
there was enough to wreak havoc on the actors' concentration, it doesn't
speak much of them, does it?
What's probably most frustrating about all this is some of us have
travelled half-way across the globe to interview major international
stars but now, when we have people like director Jon Amiel, Sean
Connery, Catherine Zeta Jones and Ving Rhames right at our doorstep for
close to two weeks, there's nothing we can do about it.
Oh, well...whatever. For me at least, what few glimpses I got of
Connery, who looks even better with age, was almost worth the hours of
waiting under the hot sun at Bukit Jalil.
AT OUR DOORSTEP ... Connery (second from right) and Zeta-Jones at Kg
Jawa Seafood Restaurant, Malacca

| The Haunting of Hill House
"Catherine Zeta-Jones, who set Antonio
Banderas' pulse racing in The Mask of Zorro,
has nabbed a starring role in the Jan de Bont-
directed DreamWorks thriller The Haunting of
Hill House, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Catherine...will play
Thea, who is part of a team of researchers
investigating an old house. The film, which will
also star Liam Neeson and Lili Taylor, is a
remake of the 1963 fright-flick The Haunting.
Release is reportedly tentatively scheduled for
Christmas of 1999."
