Catherine Zeta Jones snubs romantic breaks with her actor husband Michael Douglas in favor of a relaxed game of golf.

The Chicago actress is a huge fan of the laid-back sport, and credits it with keeping her relationship with Douglas in check – as they have time to catch up properly on the green.

But the star insists she can annoy her superstar partner, as she is too eager to pass on her golfing tips.

She says, “He listens to me when I give him tips – but if he’s having a bad day he pretty much tells me to shut up. But I use the time to catch up properly with him – golf is great way to spend time together and we have a good chat.”

And the star can’t imagine life without her hobby – insisting it makes her think straight.

She explains, “It clears my mind and I’m not thinking about anything except that little white ball. I also go to the driving range and hit balls like they were going out of fashion.”

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has topped a list of the most beautiful women in the world. She was the number one choice in a new poll voted for by 8,000 women worldwide, stealing the crown from a host of much younger beauties because of her “style and grace”.

The survey allowed women to vote for their all-time favorite beauty icons, with 1960s actress Brigitte Bardot claiming second place, followed by Breakfast At Tiffany’s star Audrey Hepburn at number three.

Today’s hottest celebrities found it hard to compete with the classical beauties of past Hollywood eras, with the late Marilyn Monroe and Dame Elizabeth Taylor, 75, beating Jessica Biel, 25, and 26-year-old Sienna Miller. Strangely enough, Angelina Jolie, who often claims the top spot in beauty polls, failed to make the top 50, with Brad Pitt’s famous former lovers Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow also missing out on a place.

Charlotte Newbert, of poll organisers Nephria Cosmetics, says, “Catherine Zeta-Jones is an ideal winner. She oozes style and grace and her natural beauty just shines through.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones has reportedly pulled out of Chicago director Rob Marshall’s film adaptation of the musical Nine after falling out with the filmmaker.

The Welsh actress was slated to appear as Claudia, the luscious star and muse to on-screen director Guido Contini in the film, but sources claim she was unhappy with her small role.

The New York Daily News reports, “The strong-willed actress won’t be in the movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical–allegedly because director Rob Marshall wouldn’t give in to her demand to beef up her role.

“Marshall is said to have politely told her the script couldn’t be changed so dramatically.”

Real-life lovers Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz will star in the film, while French actress Marion Cotillard and Sophia Loren also appear in the cast.

After losing weight recently, people were starting to talk that Catherine Zeta Jones was turning to anorexia to lose the weight.

“Michael was laughing at me. He told me what [people had] said – that stories say I’m anorexic. Do I look anorexic?” she told PEOPLE Saturday at the Savannah Film Festival. “How could I ever, ever be anorexic?”

Catherine claims to have lost the weigh by good ole fashion working out and better eating habits! In the past she was a “bread girl,” she said, adding, “I looooove bread.”
 But these days, “I’m just working out and not chomping down what I usually chomp down.”

Zeta Jones has shown concern in the Hollywood obsession on weight and what it does to girls.
