Catherine the Grate needs to come down off her high horse

Catherine Zeta-Jones was livid as she thundered about having to apologise for her perfect life. ‘i’m sick of being humble,’ she said . ‘i really am. So sorry i’m rich, so sorry i’m married to a movie star, so sorry i’m not so bad looking.’ Granted, Catherine has a quiet life so it’s hard to know where she formed the entirely mistaken impression that the public expects a show of humility from her or indeed any a-Lister.

all that’s required from superstars if – and it’s a big if – they want to retain the affection of the masses, is a little bit of gratitude for their good fortune and the absence of airs and graces. that Catherine displays neither suggests that, for all her protestations to the contrary, her life is not a bed of roses.
