Michael Douglas has revealed the secret to keeping the fire alive in his marriage to much younger wife Catherine Zeta Jones — and it’s neither flowers nor candlelit dinners.

In a frank admission, the 65-year-old actor has confessed to using modern medicine to keep up with the 40-year-old Welsh actress in the bedroom.

‘God bless her that she likes older guys,’ he said when quizzed about the success of his marriage.

‘And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years — Viagra, Cialis — that can make us all feel younger.’

The couple, who married in 2000 and have a daughter Carys, 6, and son Dylan, 9, have defied critics who expected their May-December marriage to fizzle out.

Instead, Douglas says he is more focused and committed to his family than ever.

‘I’m not so concerned about my career,’ says the star, who recently reprised his Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gekko for the upcoming Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.

But in the candid interview with American magazine AARP, he admits that he could have been a better father to his eldest son, Cameron, who is in jail after being arrested and charged with selling drugs.

Douglas has said little about his actor son’s July 28 arrest and subsequent imprisonment other than to describe it as ‘devastating’.

Make-up free Kylie Minogue goes for the natural look…

With her shiny skin, wavy hair and sober outfit, she could be a harassed mother on the school run.

But this is none other than Kylie Minogue, having a make-up free day as she returned to her Chelsea flat Thursday night.

Perhaps to make up for the rare slip of her pop princess crown, Kylie later posted an image of herself in full-on glamourpuss mode on Twitter.

Cougar Courteney Cox back on the prowl

Los Angeles may be suffering a pounding of heavy rain but for Courteney Cox at least, the show must go on.

The actress was spotted filming scenes for her TV series Cougar Town with her co-star Busy Phillips Thursday between rare breaks in the downpour.

She braved the unseasonably cold weather in a figure-hugging mini and sandal wedges while the crew rugged up in warm clothes and rain coats. Filming was eventually called off after the rain really settled in and Courteney, who also produces the show, was seen retiring to her trailer in a coat and Ugg boots.

Before she was famous

Here’s Lady Gaga in a prank TV show before she was famous. The Poker Face star — then known by her real name of Stefani Germanotta — appeared as a contestant on MTV’s Boiling Points back in 2005.

The programme, similar to Candid Camera, featured contestants being subjected to rude and annoying behaviour, unaware that they were being filmed. In the episode Gaga, 23, appeared in, she and two other people stood to win $100 if they could survive 14 minutes without swearing in a New York restaurant. A waitress took each participant’s food away from them, before bringing it back covered in trash. Gaga, who has dark hair in the clip, failed to win — because after 12 minutes she lost her temper and swore at her server.
