Catherine Zeta-Jones is enjoying life with two kids – so how about having another?

“No,” Catherine, whose children with husband Michael Douglas are son Dylan, 7, and daughter Carys, 4, tells the U.K.’s Tatler magazine for its September issue. “I’d love to but my life is so hectic. I’m very happy with one of each.”

Having told People magazine last month that the best part of motherhood was hearing her kids say “Mama!,” Catherine, 37, tells the British publication, “They’re healthy, happy, funny … so I’m done.”

Married to Michael since 2000, the Chicago Oscar winner recalls being young and single – and experiencing a not-particularly auspicious introduction to looking after babies.

At age 17 she was living in London and appearing in a West End production of the musical 42nd Street.

“I had a room in a single mum’s house, with this baby. I’d never changed a diaper before and she asked me one morning if I could look after the baby and I was like, What? I’ve got rehearsals at 3, and I don’t know whether I can do it … don’t leave me alone with a child!”

Flash forward to now, and the story is very different.

“He is so cute,” Catherine says of son Dylan, who “loves to dress up as a pirate at the moment. From 7 o’clock in the morning to 7 at night. He’ll come in and I’ll think, ‘What are you wearing?’ “

Daughter Carys is a girlie girl whose “approval” her mother seeks before leaving the house.

“On everything from my high heels to my jewelry,” Catherine explains with a laugh. “She will sit there in her tutu or a beautiful dress and critique my look, and then accessorize her own outfit, which she will wear to school.”

Carys and Dylan have seen their mother looking glamorous onscreen, such as in Zorro, but they’ve not their father’s films.

Says their mom: “They’re only 7 and 4, so I am not having them seeing their father’s films with Glenn Close and Sharon Stone just yet!”

Hooray! More Catherine! Here she was snapped hosting a luncheon to celebrate ‘No Reservations’ on July 26th. I know I’ve said it a thousand times before, but she is impossibly gorgeous!

Catherine Zeta-Jones was snapped showing off her stunning figure during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in New York on Wednesday. Her new movie ‘No Reservations’ opens this week.

And here she was snapped returning to her hotel sometime during the day on July 25th.

Catherine’s new movie ‘No Reservations’ opens on July 27th. Hooray!
Below are some excerpts from an interview with and article about Catherine that appeared in USA Today:

“Is it true that I put caviar and truffles in my hair to keep it glossy? Yes, I spend thousands of dollars. Michael buys me caviar and truffle oil treatments for my hair,” Zeta-Jones, 37, says with a dismissive snort.

“I’m not that dumb. If he was buying me caviar, it’d be in my stomach, not on my head.”

She’d like to do another musical, perhaps on Broadway, and has an adventure caper in the works, in which she’ll co-star with Douglas. That’s unusual because when Zeta-Jones works, Douglas usually stays home, and vice versa.

If both have to leave, Zeta-Jones’ parents mind the kids, Dylan, 6, and Carys, 4. In fact, everyone was on hand on the New York set of No Reservations, where Dylan had an out-of-body experience, Hicks says. “Her little boy was looking at the monitor, and Catherine’s stand-in was there with her back to the camera. He could only see the back of her head. He said, ‘There’s Mummy!’ And Michael said, ‘No, that’s Mummy’s stand-in.’ And Dylan said, ‘Oh, you mean I can marry her?’ ” Hicks recalls. “It’s so sweet. It’s every boy’s dream.”

The family’s reality is pretty dreamy already. They own homes in New York, Spain and Canada but spend most of their time at the estate in Bermuda with the kids. There, the kids can go to a regular school without attracting paparazzi lenses. When work calls, Zeta-Jones flies into Manhattan to do press and shop “like a crazy person,” she says.

‘I couldn’t ask for more’

She insists she and Douglas are otherwise homebodies. They read to the children, tuck them into bed and let them choose what’s on the family menu each Saturday. Recently, her son and daughter, who don’t get candy at home, started ordering Shirley Temples, she says with an exasperated laugh.

“The kids eat what the grown-ups eat. I’m very much like Kate about the fish sticks,” she says, referring to her character’s unwillingness to dumb down food for her niece. “I always cut the heads off (fish) and give it to them filleted, but no fish sticks.”

While she’s promoting No Reservations in Manhattan, Douglas and the kids are at their home in Spain.

Leaving them behind “is just a really hard thing to do. It never gets any better. It’s that initial thing of ‘Bye, Mama.’ It just kills me. I arrive in New York looking like a frog because it took me two hours into the flight to get it together.”

You won’t catch Dylan or Carys throwing tantrums on Supernanny.

“We’re both very big on manners. I get complimented on that, and it makes me very proud,” she says. “I was brought up in a fairly disciplined environment, and it stands you in good stead, especially with spotlights on kids who come from families who are known. But at the end of the day, if it came down to it, we’re strict in different ways. I would give in quicker than Michael. When he says no, he means no. When he makes a decision, that’s it. Done.”

It’s obvious that Zeta-Jones enjoys her brood, although she doesn’t plan on adding to it.

“Healthy, gorgeous, one of each, I couldn’t ask for more. I wanted three, and that equation has always been good. But Michael reminds me that I do have a stepson, Cameron (28), so technically I have three.”

She has parlayed her fame into lucrative endorsement deals. And unlike some stars, who do ads overseas but never in the States, she unabashedly shills for Elizabeth Arden, and until recently, urged viewers to “get more” in commercials for T-Mobile.

Endorsements are partly why she is a pit bull when it comes to protecting her image. She sued Hello! magazine for printing unauthorized photos of her wedding and Reno’s Spice House strip club for using her image on its website without authorization.

She doesn’t read most of what’s written about her, but she does find out about the most outlandish tales. There’s that story about the caviar and truffle oil treatments, which she finds ludicrous. But she’s not always able to laugh them off.

What really gets to her are the “real things, personal things.”

Among the rumors that aren’t so amusing: “There’s some preconceived notion that I married Michael for his money, or I swan around in kimonos, making big demands. It’s completely not the case,” she says. “I’ve been working since I was 11 — actually, since I was 10 — in one business that’s taken me through all my life. I just happened to meet my husband.”

But at the end of the day, with no reservations, she knows she’s blessed.

“I’ve had a great life. I wouldn’t let my children, as kids be in movies, but when they’re grown up, if they really want to do it, I can only say ‘Go for it.’ Look at what happened in my life.”

Catherine was snapped in NYC on July 15th. She looks gorgeous!

And People magazine reported the following on her salmon and potato chip cravings:

Catherine Zeta-Jones has a reputation for being one of the hottest moms in Hollywood, but she still lets herself splurge every once in awhile.

“This sounds so crazy but I’m obsessed with smoked salmon sandwiches on brown bread with potato chips in the middle, crushed down,” the actress told reporters at a press conference for her new film No Reservations this week.

“I had it with each of my pregnancies and I actually had it two nights ago for dinner,” she adds. “It’s one of those comfort foods.”

Though she says exercise “keeps my brain sane and gives me energy,” Catherine is the first to admit that she’s not a fitness fanatic.

“I’m not gonna lie and tell you I do have a regimen,” she confessed. “I’ve got to drag myself to the gym like everybody else, but when I finish it I do enjoy it. I can eat more smoked salmon sandwiches with potato chips, crushed down in the middle!”

When she’s not snacking on salmon or hitting the gym, Catherine, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Chicago, says she’s just living a quiet life in Bermuda with husband Michael Douglas and their two kids.

“Bermuda has been very great for bringing up children, taking them to school without any hassle and never being photographed,” she said.

But she admits to missing big city living sometimes. “There are drawbacks. Socially you’ve got a lot of friends in L.A., a lot of friends in New York. We have a lot of friends in Bermuda but it’s just a different life and I appreciate coming back to the city more than I ever did before.”

Just don’t read this as an ad for invading her little island: “I love you,” she laughed. “But please don’t come to Bermuda!”

Catherine Zeta-Jones has been dubbed Dame Doom by her husband and kids because she’s always convinced the worst is going to happen.
The Welsh actress reveals her son Dylan, 6, and daughter Carys, 4, came up with the nickname after she started worrying for their safety one day while they were climbing trees.
She tells U.S. magazine Parade, “Dylan and Carys make fun of me because I worry when they’re climbing or jumping outside. I always think something could happen to them.
“And I always tell Michael how to drive. I’m the worst passenger. One time, he pulled over and got out of the car and said, ‘You drive.’”

But the actress insists she doesn’t have a gloomy approach to life: “I’m happy. I’m crazy in love with my husband. I love my children and adore just watching them grow and change”.

Parade magazine

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been winning audiences over since her sexy role in 1998’s The Mask of Zorro. Now a married mom of two, Catherine talked to Parade about balancing her career with family, and the one thing that could have ended her relationship with actor Michael Douglas. Read excerpts below:

On the importance having children had in her early relationship with Michael:
“…There was one thing I had to be sure of. I turned to Michael and said, ‘Do you really want children?’ And I thought, for one minute, he was going to say, ‘I already have a son, Cameron, and I would have to say goodbye. I remember saying defiantly, ‘I cannot live without having children.’ And he went, ‘Me too.’”

On why she’s not a screamer:
“Michael and I have been married seven years. I’ve known him nine years. We’ve never screamed at each other. We disagree, yeah, but we never shout…I did the screaming thing before. It doesn’t work. I’ve realized hat you can actually say what you need to say. People can tell from the tone of my voice. And my kids know when I raise my finger or do ‘the eyes’ that I mean it.”

On not living in Hollywood:
“I’ve been told that it’s not good for business, but at the end of the day, I’d sacrifice career so my children can go to school without the paparazzi pestering them.”

On how her career has changed:
“When I first came to the States, it was like I’d do anything. I had not a ruthless but a nice kind of ambition….At this point in my life, I actually have a life. If I’m going to do a film, it’s got to mean something to my heart.”

She rocks!
