Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta Jones attended last night’s New York premiere of Wall Street 2:  Money Never Sleeps despite the actor battling stage IV throat cancer and undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.  That’s quite remarkable, isn’t it?

His co-star Shia LaBeouf talked about how working with the acting legend was surreal:

“He’s got a nice way of easing everybody’s tensions,”  ”When you walk onto a set like this, where it’s sacred ground, there’s a legacy at stake. But your mascot puts you at ease.”

And despite what Michael is going through, Shia learned about strength the most from him:

“He is a wolf, and he is a strong man,” he said. “And I know of his vulnerabilities. When he came to set … he was dealing with a lot, but never was it, ‘Woe is me.’ Ever.”

[Douglas has] “a face they’re going to paint on walls,” “They’re going to remember him forever. You can’t say that about a lot of people. He’s an American institution. It’s intimidating and incredible and exhilarating and rewarding.”

Michael didn’t speak with any reporters at the premiere but his other costar Josh Brolin (dear lord isn’t he incredibly gorgeous?) said Michael was:

“doing as well as can be expected. I think the fact that the guy’s coming out here in the first place is a testament to who he is, to his character … He’s not hiding, and I think that’s great.”

This is so sad to report. Aretha Franklin’s son Eddie was severely beaten outside of a gas station in Detroit Monday night. The singing legend’s rep Gwendolyn Quinn has confirmed that Eddie is undergoing surgery at a hospital for his injuries.

He was with a female friend who went into the gas station and that’s when the attack occurred.  When she came out and saw that he had been beaten she drove Eddie to the hospital, dropped him off and carried on to the police station to file a report.

There were as many as three people who attacked him and motive is not known at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Eddie and Aretha Franklin.

It’s Gawker blind-time again.  The third one has me very curious:

1. “This actor who was an Academy Award nominee/winner has been married for quite some time. While on the set of a recent movie he started having an affair with this actress who was a Golden Globe nominee/winner. Nothing really that juicy about the affair except for the fact the couple never had sex. Nope. Turns out our actor just likes to have our actress spank him while he wears some of her clothes.” [CDaN]

2. “We frequently report on couples that are the product of two consenting celebrities and their public relations teams. But if they plan to get married, they must really love each other, right? Wrong. This couple serves some very specific needs. For the guy, it’s about a paycheck (as she will be footing the bill for the next year) and some time in the spotlight. For the girl, it is a distraction from a couple of recent professional fumbles. So they both benefit from this deal. Before you start shopping for their wedding gift, however, you should know that their breakup is already scheduled for next year. It is timed to occur right around another announcement.” [Blind Gossip]

3. “They’re married. They’re famous. And they’ve got some big problems. He’s into porn so much so that he is seeking counseling, while she’s skipped the pill on purpose so she would end up pregnant again, against his wishes. He’s angry they’re bringing a child into the world while their own lives are in such turmoil and she’s trying to stay willfully ignorant by keeping herself busy with the pregnancy and baby to come. ” [BuzzFoto]
