DOUGLAS & ZETA-JONES PLAN FAMILY MEAL FOR JOINT BIRTHDAY

MICHAEL DOUGLAS and CATHERINE ZETA-JONES are planning a low-key family dinner to celebrate their birthdays on Friday (25Sep09) - with the veteran actor's ageing father KIRK set to be the guest of honour.
The Wall Street star turns 65, while his wife will reach the landmark age of 40 later this week.
But instead of throwing a lavish showbiz bash, the pair is determined to keep it a family affair, and will toast the birthdays with a meal in New York - with just their family and close friends in attendance.
A source tells U.K. newspaper the Daily Record, "Catherine doesn't want to have a big bash, she'd rather just have an intimate gathering with her closest friends and family.
"The last thing on her mind is having a party that the good and great will come to. Catherine loves nothing more than to spend time with her family. She's not big into showbiz bashes, so it will be a quiet affair."
Kirk Douglas, 93, and Catherine's parents Dai and Pat will help the happy couple celebrate the big day with the meal in Manhattan.
