News about the stalker
AP) A judge Friday ordered a psychological evaluation for a woman accused of stalking Catherine Zeta-Jones at the request of a defense attorney, who claimed outside court that the actress had driven the defendant to attempt suicide.
"Catherine Zeta-Jones has driven Dawnette Knight to attempt suicide and the real blood is on her hands," attorney Richard Herman told reporters at the downtown criminal courts building.
The accusation came after Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg suspended the preliminary hearing for Knight, 32, to have an evaluation of whether she is competent to assist in her own defense.
Knight, who wrote numerous letters threatening Zeta-Jones, is accused of one felony count of stalking and 24 felony counts of making criminal threats. She is being held on $1 million bail.
Zeta-Jones and husband Michael Douglas testified earlier this week at the hearing, which will determine whether there is enough evidence to put Knight on trial.
"We are going to slice her up like meat on a bone and feed her to the dogs," said one letter read in court by Zeta-Jones.
Last month Knight issued an apology for the threatening letters. She said in a letter released by her attorney that claimed she had been infatuated with Douglas.
The hearing was also halted on Thursday, when the defense attorney said his client was still groggy after taking sleeping pills because she wanted a good night's sleep.
But on Friday he said it was an attempted suicide by an overdose of barbiturates.
"This case has turned into Hollywood against Dawnette Knight and it's not a fair fight," Herman told reporters outside court.
Referring to the letter of apology, Herman said his client had asked for forgiveness.
"Instead of forgiveness we have seen a campaign of vilification in the media which is both mean-spirited and vicious," Herman said.
After accusing Zeta-Jones of driving his client to attempt suicide, the attorney said, "Nothing further" and walked away.
Earlier, Herman and the prosecutor, Debra Archuletta, conferred with the judge in chambers for about 25 minutes.
The attorneys then returned to the courtroom, where Herman asked for the suspension.
The judge requested more details about Knight's mental state.
Herman said Knight had taken barbiturates Wednesday night, was unable to participate in her defense and needed an evaluation.
"Yesterday it was two sleeping pills," the prosecutor interjected.
The judge then questioned Knight directly.
"Do you know why you are here," the judge asked.
"Yes, ma'am," Knight said.
"Why?" the judge asked.
"Because of the letters I sent to the Douglases," Knight said.
The judge asked her if she was able to participate in her own defense.
"He says I can't so obviously I can't. He's my lawyer," Knight said.
The judge asked Knight if she understood that suspending the hearing would not end the case but would result in a battery of psychological tests. Knight said she understood.
Herman complained that a request for an evaluation would normally simply be granted.
The judge said the prosecution had turned over press clippings in which the defense attorney had said his client just needed some sleeping pills and does not have mental problems.
The judge told Herman it was an unusual situation, and he said, "I've reconsidered that and I'm concerned overall about my client's health."
The judge said that if Knight is found competent, the parties will return to court Aug. 16, but that due to vacations, the preliminary hearing would resume in September.
Zeta-Jones and Douglas were not in court Friday.

Next Story about Zeta-Jones Stalker
CZJ talks of death threats
Last updated 29 July 2004
Catherine Zeta Jones has been telling an LA court about the death threats she received from a stalker.
The actress said that one letter threatened to cut her up "like meat on a bone and feed her to the dogs."
Catherine's hubby, Michael Douglas, has said the harassment brought his wife close to a nervous breakdown.
The court has to decide if 32-year-old Dawnette Knight should go on trial for multiple counts of stalking.
The defendant has written a letter of apology and her fiancée Ronald Calvin says it was a joke that went too far:
"Dawnette Knight and some unnamed friends conspired to annoy Catherine Zeta Jones based on a tabloid story that she was having an extra-marital affair with George Clooney."
"She understands she crossed a very dangerous line with society and she is sorry, it will never happen again."

More Stalker Storys
Stalker Attempted Suicide, Zeta-Jones Blamed
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Outside a Los Angeles court on Friday (July 30), the attorney of an alleged stalker claimed that actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is the cause of his client's attempted suicide.
It was reported on Thursday, that Dawnette Knight, 32, who is accused of stalking the Oscar-winning actress, was groggy from taking sleeping pills while in jail. Now, however, the defense says that she overdosed on drugs after being persecuted by Zeta-Jones, according to the AP.
"What's actually happened is that Catherine Zeta-Jones has driven Dawnette Knight to attempt suicide, and the real blood is on her hands," says defense lawyer Richard Herman.
Prosecutor Debra Archuleta responded to the accusation, saying, "We are shocked and outraged that the victim in this case, Catherine Zeta-Jones, is being portrayed in this manner. We believe these statements by defense counsel to be inappropriate."
Knight is charged with one count of stalking and 24 counts of criminal threats, which include phone calls and letters that date back to the beginning of 2003. She is held on $1 million bail.
On Wednesday, Zeta-Jones read 19 of the letters in court. The numerous graphic death threats described intentions to "slice her up," "chop her away" and "slash her throat." The disturbing correspondence also made references to the Nicole Brown Simpson and Manson murders.
In light of Knight's condition, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg has suspended the criminal proceedings while Knight is evaluated for mental competency. If she is found competent after undergoing a battery of psychological tests, the hearings will resume in September. Both parties are due back in court on Monday, Aug. 16.

More of The Stalking
Police officers investigating the woman accused of stalking Catherine Zeta-Jones found links to a telephone calling card that was used to make death threats against the actress, a detective has testified. The threats were telephoned to an Amsterdam hotel where Zeta-Jones was staying while filming "Ocean's 12" and prompted her security staff to obtain a bulletproof shield that could be used to protect her in case of attack, a Los Angeles sheriff's detective, Dana Duncan, told the court. The testimony came as a preliminary hearing resumed for Dawnette Knight, who is accused of threatening Zeta-Jones out of an obsession with the "Chicago" star's husband, the actor Michael Douglas.

CZJ Movie Review

Catherine The Great: This film is very well directed, and very well acted on Cathy's part. It follows the biography of the brutal leader of Russia [which she played beautifully.] However, it also follows a personal story about Catherine The Great.
Best Scene: The scene where Catherine seduces the man who holds the power was acted quite good. Also, the part where's she talking to the guy at the church my favorite line there is: "I will rule. It's all or nothing." Said by Cathy as Catherine ever so beautifully.

America's Sweetheart's: If you need a goofy comedy about stuck-up rich people, you HAVE to see this, double-overed laughing comedy about actress Gwen Harison [Cathy] and actor Eddie Thomas [John Cusack], so funny, it's a must see.
Best Scene: The end scene where Christopher Walken is showing the film is always good for a laugh.

Entrapment: If you liked Oceans 11, or basically ANY con movie, watch this, it'll make ya laugh, cry, maybe even scream at Sean Connery for being such a jerk in the beginning. It's good though, watch it. Not her BEST but good.
Best Scene: Well, this has a number of good scenes, if yer a guy you'll like the car chase, if yer a girl you'll like "The Millenium Robbery" scene.

Chicago: One of her best films, boy, she has a set of pipes on her!, and all that jazz. She plays the wise one, the one who's been around the block before. But, like Catherine The Great, for Velma Kelly, "It's all er nothing."
Best Scene: Again, it has a variety of good scenes, my personal favorite is Cathy and Renee's duet "Hot Honey Rag/Nowedays."

Intolerable Cruelty: Merilyn Rex-Roth-Doyle-Massey is a money stealin', gold diggin', man stealin', stuck-up little rich girl. The thing is she's new at the whole gold digger thing, but with her old time gold diggin' friend to help her, she robs all three of her husband's blind! Well, maybe not all three of them, ya see, it's a whole big con, from the second husband on. But that french idiot Puffy ruined the first marriage. Stupid Puffy. But, if there's anyone who can match George Clooney is suave, and savvy, oh boy is it her!
Best Scene: Well, the FUNNIEST scene, in my opinion, is the "Puffy goes and ruins it all in the court room" scene, so funny. Another funny scene is when Geoffery Rush try's to nail his cheating wife's ass in the very beginning, that was pretty damn funny as his wife is driving away in the Jaguar after calling Rush an "Australian piece of sh1t!" and stabbing him in the ass with his "Austrailian Daytime TV Award."

Mask of Zorro: Beautiful spanish accent she can fake. Er, good movie, one of her first here in the US, good casting. Adorable Antonio Banders and Anthony Hopkins make good Zorro's.
Best Scene: The scene where Hopkins finds Bendaras and makes him Zorro is pretty good. The dance scene Cathy and Antonio do is fabulous. And the cloths ripping sword fight is funny yet strangly erotic on Antonio's part. The two roles of Cathy and Antonio are beautifully cast, nobody else could've played them.

The Haunting: One of her best, if I do say so myself. She does perfectly playing bi-sexual, yet oddly cheery Theo. It's funny though, because before I saw the movie, I was reading the book, and I kept picturing Cathy as Theo. It was a great movie all in all, and there we're a lot of deleted scenes, all included in the script, which is posted here.
Best Scene: Hm, toughy, well, the whole movie is great, but the scene is[suprisingly, Cathy's not in it] where Nell and the doctor are walking around in the greenhouse, and they sort of flirt. That's pretty good, the deleted parts are better, also shown in the script.

Sinbad: Well, I mean, it's animated, not that bad for a kid's movie, the only reason I watched it is because I have a strange goal in life to watch anything and everything she's in, only three more on my list!
Best Scene: Well, there's even a couple scene's in it when Cathy's not in it, those suck the most, but THE BEST is when Brad Pitt thinks Cathy has left him, but then she comes sailing up in a boat. But maybe I dreamt that part, I fell asleep on it.
To be updated soon!

Everyone knows where you stand because your heart is always right there on your sleeve. On meeting you, one might expect that you would seek out another no-nonsense and serious type as a mate. Not so. You find relief from your own single-mindedness with someone who is, above all, fun and easy to talk to; talk and mental stimulation are things you really enjoy. The fact that they are a bit of a lightweight, always on the move, and even a bit frivolous, doesn't bother you one bit. You're delighted.
Above all, you have a need for partners that are bright, witty, and that like to talk and communicate. You must have mental compatibility before you get serious about someone. Aside from talking, you like others who are interested in speaking and writing.
Report for Michael Douglas - Strengths in your relationships
You have a sense of the extraordinary and wonderful about you. People sense that you have an insight into the larger picture, and you can communicate this idea of unity to a group. You are great at working with images, whether psychological, artistic, or cinematic. You probably love movies and music, anything with a grand theme or gesture. You are not just another dreamer.

You need someone who loves to explore the dreamy psychological underside of life. You see beneath the surface of things.
Report for Michael Douglas - Challenges in your relationships
You could have a fear of the new and different -- of sudden changes. However, once they occur you really get a charge out of them. You would like to break away and live an unusual, exciting existence, but your conventionality holds you back from making the move. The result is that you often feel frustrated and mired in the humdrum. Jealousy in love affairs could present a problem.
Everyone can testify to your brilliant mind, but most would also find you somewhat erratic and unpredictable. You don't always have the follow-through you pretend to have. You tend to change your mind in the middle of a project and go rushing off in some new direction. You are to some degree the victim of your own whims. You have trouble finding practical uses for your plentiful insights.

You probably felt at home with Catherine right from the start. You enjoy doing things together. It feels natural and good. It occurs to you that this relationship could last a while. She feels almost like family and does a lot to bring out your more domestic side. The two of you might cater to the public or run a business from your home.
Catherine is nothing else if not stimulating, and she may be downright challenging or irritating at times. It all depends on what mood you're in. If you need a boost, a little competition, then she is tailor-made for the job. If things are already hectic, then you may not enjoy the ride. There is the potential here for a good sexual relationship too.
Catherine exercises a very powerful influence over you, one that could change your career. Here is someone who knows more about what you ought to be doing with your life and career than you do, and she is not afraid to let you know about it. From the first time you met, she probably jumped right into your business and started making suggestions -- and they were right on the money. The net result is that you may go through a major transformation as to what you do with your life through knowing her.

You, who are so power oriented and commanding in tone, have a greater need than most for love relationships. Who would guess that you like your lovers anything but aggressive? You need your lovers to be accepting, even at the risk of being on the dull side. Your relationships tend to be long-term, conservative, and quite stable.

You can be very compassionate, and understand the feminine side of life.

Others sense in you the presence of much energy, almost a tension. You may tend to have trouble just relaxing and find yourself always on the go, doing things. This aggressiveness could lead to undue competition and striving. You may have a sense that you can't always trust your drive and feelings. There also could be a tendency to buck authority, in particular, powerful men.
You have a real temper and are prone to sudden outbursts. You insist on being independent, having your own way, and sometimes this is against your own best interests. You're either fast and furious, or not there at all. A gentle partner who can forgive, and most of all forget, would be a blessing. A lot of this stems from the insecurity you have concerning your emotional life.
Report for Catherine Zeta Jones - Your Relationship with Michael Douglas
You can benefit a lot from the support of this person. If you stop and think about it, you couldn't imagine a much more perfect response from the cosmos to yourself than you find in Michael. For one, he is almost totally supportive of you, warts and all. And there is every reason to believe that he could aid you financially, as well as romantically. Good things could happen with and through him. Here is a real opportunity for you to take hold and develop your resources. This is fertile soil for many things.
Here is someone with real know-how. You naturally tend to look up to Michael, and he may originally have appeared in the guise of a teacher or older person, an expert on just what most interests you. If this is to be a love relationship, it may prove hard for you to consider Michael other than as an authority figure. You are proud to know and be associated with him. He helps to show you how to be more professional yourself.

Report for Catherine Zeta Jones - Challenges in your relationship with Michael Douglas
The two of you feel a lot of attraction for each other, but often as not you end up at opposite ends of the couch. You may not appreciate his more aggressive nature or the way he acts. You may not like the way he makes you feel. He feels unappreciated.
The fact that you find it difficult to put up with his need for confrontation and self-analysis may cause resentment. Your lack of support in this area may lead to explosive times and hurt feelings. You are tired of the tension and don't feel like putting your emotions through one more transformation.
You won't support what you feel are unrealistic notions and fantasies on his part. His escapism does nothing for you. You feel he should learn to be more down to earth and practical. There can be much disappointment, and possibly deception, with this combination.
