Michael Douglas talks reunion with Catherine Zeta-Jones and says he feels 'underestimated' by Hollywood

Road to recovery: The couple are reported to be back together after six months apart
They recently reunited after taking a temporary break from their marriage.
And Michael Douglas is candidly discussing his hopes for the future of his relationship with Catherine Zeta-Jones.  
'I hope to resolve my marriage in a positive fashion,' he tells GQ magazine in a new interview. 
A US report said that Douglas recently announced the news to his friends, with the report stating that he 'couldn't be happier; and 'he was overheard saying they have reconciled.'
And during an appearance on The Jay Leno show, the Romancing The Stone star said talks between himself and Catherine have been going well. ‘Good I hope. I’ve been away for a while but everything should hopefully be on the up and up,' he said. 
Awarded GQ's Diva Of The Year Award in the December issue of the magazine, Douglas also discussed his long acting career, 
And the star, who has won two Oscars, two Golden Globe awards, an Emmy says he thinks Hollywood has 'always underestimated' him. 
The 69-year-old veteran star said he felt his peers felt surprised by his tour de force performance as flamboyant musician Liberace in HBO's Behind the Candelabra.
'I've always felt a little underestimated, personally,' he said. 'I've got a pretty good batting average over forty years. Sometimes maybe it looked easy.'
Douglas appeared alongside Matt Damon in the made-for-HBO film which saw both actors receive Emmy nods. 
'I'm actually taking a sort of joy, a revengeful joy, in the fact that all the studios turned it down,' said Douglas. 'To me it was just a reflection of how constipated and conservative the studios have become.'

Kim Kardashian keeps baby North under wraps on family outing.


Kim wasn't without protection against the cold as she was sporting an on trend mohair coat. 
Once the province of British used car dealers and market stall traders, the item is this season's coat to be seen in... but it does cover a gal's figure up. 
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star tempered this with her plunging tuxedo neckline; although she probably let out all the warmth in exactly the same way.

28year old Nigerian student Louis Esene and his 22 year old 'bride' were caught during their bogus wedding when the registrar noticed they were uncomfortable with each other.

From UK Daily Mail 
A bogus bride was caught out because she 'flinched' when her phoney husband-to-be touched her knee in a register office. Emilia Ginova, 22, was jailed today for posing as a blushing bride ready to walk up the aisle with her groom.
But a court heard Ginova had only first seen Nigerian student Louis Esene on the day of the service - and was being paid £3,000 to take part in the sham marriage. She was caught out by an eagle-eyed registrar who spotted her shocked reaction when Esene, 28, reached out to touch her leg.

Italy 2 Nigeria 2: Ameobi on target but Super Eagles are pegged back by Sunderland star Giaccherini

Stuck in the middle: Mario Balotelli and Ogenyi Onazi compete for the ball Indeed, there was plenty on show to suggest both teams can light up next summer’s tournament in Brazil as passionate supporters from both sides were given full value on chilly night down by the Thames.
Italy certainly impressed during their World Cup qualifying campaign, wrapping matters up with two games to spare.
But since making it to Brazil the Azzurri have played out three draws, two in the qualification dead rubbers against Denmark and Armenia and another in Friday’s friendly at the San Siro against Germany.
And having been thumped 4-0 by Spain in the final of the European Championships last summer it remains to be seen whether Cesare Prandelli’s side will indeed be serious World Cup contenders.
Nigeria’s recent form has also been impressive, the Super Eagles going unbeaten in their six group games before taking care of Ethiopia 4-1 on aggregate in the World Cup play-offs to book their place in Brazil.
But you must go back to France 1998, when the current Africa Cup of Nations champions beat Bulgaria, to find the last time Nigeria won a match at the World Cup finals.

Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, will be conductedActors Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kelly Preston were in attendance yesterday as thousands of Scientologists gathered in Clearwater, Florida for the dedication of their new $145million 'cathedral'.
    The 377,000-square-foot Flag Building is the tallest building in downtown Clearwater, and has been in construction for nearly 15 years. The opening of the building will mark the first time Scientologists have a place to practice the 'Super Power' program, developed by the religion's founder L Ron Hubbard in the 1970s. 
    While the city was told to expect 10,000 Scientologists this weekend, the crowd gathered outside the Flag Building yesterday was noticeably smaller. The Tampa Bay Times estimated that numbers could have been less than 6,000.

    Lamar told our camera guy over weekend he's been in talks with the LA Clippers ... after his career was derailed this summer by a serious crack problem.
