Michael Douglas Says Catherine Was Depressed Cause Of 'Stiff Upper Lip'

Michael Douglas talked to Oprah Winfrey on her show about his wife's depression. He said that it was Catherine Zeta Jone's upbringing that stressed her even more.

He said that she grew up in an environment where she was not allowed to express her emotions and she totally broke from inside when she heard about Michael's throat cancer.

Zeta was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder because of all the mental stress she has been under for all this time dealing with her husband's illness. Michael admitted that his health problems made his wife's illness worse.

Michael said he is the sort of person who makes no fuss about things and needs no attention. So when he heard of his cancer, he got ready for his treatment but Catherine took the strain big time all this while.

According to Michael, Catherine is Welsh and they have this 'stiff upper lip' and do not show their feelings. She was under pressure in the last one and half year but she never spoke about it.

Michael was very candid when he told Oprah, that in the last year his oldest son was in prison, his ex wife was suing him and he got cancer on top of it. It became difficult for Catherine to say in all this while that she was 'depressed'.

But the way she coped with the situation made him feel really proud of Catherine and he is happy that she dealt with her depression in a mature manner. Now Catherine is back to work and is busy shooting for her next film.

Dead Baby Found In Oprah's South African School

Oprah Winfrey must be troubled and under a lot of stress because the famous TV host has always stood up for human rights and strongly supports the idea of helping one another to make the world a better place.

However, everything she does with the good intentions don't always end up the way she wants them to. Oprah Winfrey opened Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg, South Africa. Recent news is that a dead baby was found in a bag in the premises of the school.

It is believed that the baby belonged to a 17 year old student of the Academy. The hospital staffers discovered the baby in her bag when she came there because of non stop bleeding. Police is investigating the case but have not filed any charges as yet. They don't think that the child died because of foul play.

Oprah has decided to not comment because a minor is involved here. This is not the first time, Oprah had to face criticism for her rather scandalized school. 

In 2007, the school's former dorm matron was accused of molesting several students. Virginia Tiny Makopo was acquitted and Oprah was disappointed. She dismissed the headmistress and said she would do anything to protect the students. But in 2009, four students were expelled and three were suspended for inappropriate behavior and sexual  misconduct towards other students.

Thus, we can see the journey for Oprah Winfrey and this school is not all that great. The fact remains, that humans are unpredictable and even if you build something with the good intention, corrupt minds and badness from within does show itself and ruins the over all big picture. But, without being so critical on Oprah we can also see things minus her star fame. Kids that age do get pregnant and often their babies die. Teachers can also be molesters because no body can guarantee what someone would do alone behind closed doors. And youngsters do engage in sexual misconduct and bullying since forever. These are otherwise wrong things that disturb the society as a whole and Oprah can not be entirely be blamed for everybody else's actions that take place in an Academy she made perhaps.

Nevertheless, Oprah is under stress because of recent developments of the dead baby discovery.

Bus or Limo?

If a person can't ride with you on the bus, they don't deserve to ride with you in the limo.
