We haven't been able to confirm if it's true (you'd be surprised how wildly ineffective opening the window and shouting is for "reporting," unless you're trying to find out if the ice cream guy has any Bomb Pops left), but we're hearing rumors that a (failed) kidnapping attempt was made against Catherine Zeta Jones in Mexico, where she's shooting Mask of Zorro sequel Legend of Zorro. If it turns out that an attempt was made at snatching CZJ, it sounds like going out for cocktails with her sleepy stalker might be less dangerous than down time on that movie set. She should consider spending some quality time at her mansion in Majorca, even with the ever-present risk of encountering Michael Douglas in a Speedo.
