Age ain't nothing but a number

Anyone with an email account has seen those messages advertising Cialis and Viagra, which must account for 60% of all electronic mail. So it's good to know that at least one person is happy to receive them - Hollywood legend and one-time sex addict Michael Douglas.

He's been oversharing with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) about how the little blue pills have helped him keep Catherine Zeta Jones satisfied in bedroom. "God bless her that she likes older guys. And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years - Viagra, Cialis - that can make us all feel younger."

Now maybe it's just a coinicidence, but I can't help thinking of battle-of-the-sexes thriller Disclosure, where Michael famously received a series of helpful emails from an unnamed source that helped give him the upper hand over sexy maneater Demi Moore. It's another case of life imitating art, only instead of corporate espionage, the emails are just offering him six hours of unflagging tumescence.

After almost a decade of marriage, Catherine must be a little frustrated that Michael's still wanting to hammer away while she's trying to read all those scripts piling up on her desk. According to a recent interview, Catherine believes that their relationship works because "we’re not vying for equal rights in our careers because he already is Michael Douglas. It works very well with the children, him being at home and me working and vice versa." No-one seems to be too sure about what that work is, perhaps she's volunteering in the local care home.
