"I hate Los Angeles with a passion. I felt that way even when I was single and knocking on doors trying to get a job. We go there, work hard, have our meetings and then get the hell out again. I don't know how people live there, especially with kids."

Man is she right!!! I lived in LA and it sucks EVEN if you do have tons of cash. It's simply too crowded. Cali in the 50s and 60s would have been sweet!

She has always been a snob…why not bite the hand that feeds you Catherine! She's just jealous that Brad and Angelina took the limelight away from her and Michael Douglas…now they are trying for triplets!
Muskr says – reply to this

She hates the town that has given her opportunities to work and has made her famous and wealthy?
mrsun says – reply to this

Sorry to agree, LA is a city without a soul. However, a lot of talent is born there, so it has its good points.

Who cares?? LA IS HELL ON EARTH.

AND perez, stop calling young girls sluts and dogs!! You're a disgusting human being and I can't believe you post charities when you're causing so much damage yourself!!! ASSHOLE. I'm pretty much done with this site.
sam says – reply to this

31

i loathe the fact that some of the degafra's choose to live there.
it is no place for children.
kathryn's ego could never have coped with the gay rejection.
it's a big old prison full of only crooks. it's like a big gay fist fest.
it's just really tacky & greedy & really cheap.
Steph says – reply to this

32

I agree
Angel says – reply to this

33

Good for her. I'd get my kids out of there as well, especially if I was a celebrity.
Laris says – reply to this

34

I am not a "fan" of CZJ- but this is one statement that I can totally agree with~!

That's why so many Talented, A-listers MOVE OUT of LA- CZJ/MD, J. Depp/V. Pardis, A.Jolie/B. Pitt, J. Roberts, etc… because they have their PRIORITIES in check and are MORE concerned for their children having a "normal" life than never-ending promotion of themselves. i.e.: The Vile Beckhams'!

I agree with her 110%.

well, she's right!!!
Chick says – reply to this

36

I HATE this woman with a passion! She just seems like such a cold bitch. LA doesn't need you!!!! What has she done anyway? There are much hotter women with more talent than her. She needs to go away with her old husband and crawl back under the rock she came from. I know, a little harsh right?! Not harsh enough!
She i says – reply to this

37

She is right!!! LA is crowded, expensive, and chaotic. And, it is a horrible place if you have kids…unless you are loaded enough to get them into private schools (the schools are terrible). Even then, it sucks! When my husband and I moved here a few years ago, we were all set to start a family. We were just at that point in our lives. After living here for a year, we decided that we would NOT have kids until we got the hell out of here, which will probably not happen because his work is here.

if i was michael douglas
i would kick your ass

she is a twat
Bowie says – reply to this

39

Typical Hollywood bullshit. These celebs always make a big deal about how terrible Los Angeles is when they move to New York. It's always the same story: LA has no culture, you have to drive everywhere, you don't meet real people, the environment is bad for kids, etc.

Yet when they sulk back to LA a few years later they don't say a word.
mia says – reply to this

40

Sounds like a normal, intelligent woman to me. Good for her, raise the kids in a healthy freak free zone.
erin says – reply to this

41

Right on, Catherine! I couldn't agree more. You and your husband Michael are too talented to live in that cesspool of the Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons. Good for you on putting the truth out there!
Chris says – reply to this

hey, when you're THAT beautiful, you can bash LA as much as you feel necessary!

Los Angeles does suck though. It is the areas around LA: Newport Beach, Santa Barbara, Pasadena, Santa Monica, etc… that are ahight.

Perez would you stop with the name calling and the writing on the photos. You act like a junior high aged person. Grow up and be a man.
jl says – reply to this

51

that's not right. i'm 2nd generation angeleno and credit my LA upbringing for allowing me to have a broader and more diverse range of experiences than if i grew up elsewhere. stop hating, you don't know.
Waver says – reply to this

52

She's right though - unless you're there for work, or living for the drama and the paps, I'm not sure why anyone WOULD want to live in L.A., especially if they have kids they want to protect. Love her!
NYC says – reply to this

53

She is probably right…….

the people of LA are literally as dumb as Paris hilton…
Stace says – reply to this

54

I don't think this picture & quote deserve "cunt" on it…it's a preference. So, she doesn't like LA…I'm sure a lot of people don't!
The Censory says – reply to this

She's right, Perzzle. Does that maker her a twat?
EFF says – reply to this

56

L.A.s not that bad but its shit neXt to the NYC , there are very few cities that can even compete with Manhattan baby!
Mercu says – reply to this

57

Amen to that! I don't see how that makes her a twat. Just makes her smart. LA is a cesspool.
scoot says – reply to this

58

No one wants her here, stuck up, grampa-lovin' witch. People raise their children here just fine you over-rated gas bag. Who gives a crap about your opinion anyway?
virgi says – reply to this

59

Why is she considered a 'twat' because she hates LA? It is overcrowded and overpriced.
She is smart to raise her family elsewhere. Don't take it personally Perez.
Anni says – reply to this

60

I so agree… I once went to LA (without the money you obviously need to have a normal good time) and hated it with a passion. I wet to NY after that and loved it.
getwi says – reply to this

61

I agree with Catherine…LA is horrible!

Reali–you must be from Cali if you think she is biting the hand that feeds her..HELLO LA is not the only town that watched her movies…AND she is not refering to the people she works with just the city itself
nixie says – reply to this

62

NEWSFLASH! Perez Hilton calls another woman a "twat" for speaking her mind. Zeta-Jones is entitled to her opinion and there's nothing wrong with it. As a born and raised Angeleno, I would NEVER raise any kids here, either. You need to retire some words from your limited vocabulary, Perez - like "slut", "whore", "cunt" and "twat". Hate speech against women is just as offensive as hate speech against gays like you.
GOOD! says – reply to this

63

She a real talent. She can live where she wants and say what she wishes unlike a fake and tryly untalented Madonna who is currently # 57 this week on Billboard.
PoeEd says – reply to this

64

First of all, who cares what Catherine Zeta-Jones (or any other "celebrity") thinks about LA, or anything else?
But, free speech - I believe in freedom of speech for all Americans. She can talk about anything she wants.
However, her opinions being NEWSWORTHY is another story altogether. Waste of space and time.
Mania says – reply to this

65

She sickens me. She marries some geezer and uses that to boost her career and then turns her back on the town that made her into a B-rated star. She also lies about her age, which is obvious. Rather than hitting 40, she is more like well on her way to 50.
michi says – reply to this

66

I don't blame her - the city is full of people who are obsessed with superficial appearances. Like you Perez.
sdf says – reply to this

LA will suck out you soul. She's absolutely right about all she's saying.

Having children, and recently gotten the 'hell out of L.A.' myself…I totally agree!
L.A. is a giant stink hole!

BOO HOO WHA WHA…dumb bitch! LA is fucking great! I'm from the bay area been here two years and can't think of a better place in the States to live. LA is what you make of it, so if you hang out around douche bag hollywood types then sure you will hate the place…but BITCH where'd your money come from???? I'm in the industry and I still avoid all the superficial bullshit. I'd still fuck the shit out of her asshole though!! booya thats fo sho
Tiffa says – reply to this

71

Couldn't agree more. Sorry LA.
Sassy says – reply to this

72

Oh please, her talent is mediocre at her best. I heard she is really like 56. Hollywood must not be calling her much anymore. Sounds all bitter and shit.
Mo says – reply to this

73

LOL!! She is totally right…L.A. is a hell hole. It should be burned down.
CU*T says – reply to this

74

Who cares what that self-centered WHORE thinks? She's a disgusting, arrogant pig bitch. Who sees her movies anymore? NO ONE! Who sees her old fart husband's movies anymore? NO ONE. She should rot in hell the disgusting bitch whore.

TiffM says – reply to this

77

How does putting her kids first vs. putting them in the public eye make her a twat? The woman's right!
coco says – reply to this

78

Boy, hating the very place that pays you the millions it does…. interesting.
Maybe you and your old geezer husband should just freaking retire from movies all together so LA never has to see your face again.. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, the geezer and your kids….
fiacr says – reply to this

79

L.A. is a great place to live, if you can ignore all the people who aren't from there. it's all the wannabe douchebags from smalltown USA who f*ck it up.
mnbh says – reply to this

80

Hey she has a point! Los Angeles is a piece of shit i moved out of there a while back! cant stand it! the traffic, the fakeness! Everyone thinks they are so hot, when they are not even close to it! Trying to portray something they are not! If you wanna see REAL hot ppl come to miami!
spark says – reply to this

81

Sounds about right to me. Los Angeles is a horrible town ESPECIALLY for kids. It's a place people HAVE to live in order to work in the entertainment industry. The very successful are lucky they can actually leave when their work is done and LIVE somewhere nice.
luzmita says – reply to this

82

She is right.. LA is freacky… on the other hand… is she botoxed?? she looks different…
Nomi says – reply to this

83

LMAO. I bet all the haters live in Kentucky. Trying act like you been somewhere. I'm born and raised in LA. its my home. People always associate Hollywood with LA that is just one part of LA. There is so much more LA has to offer. Some people cant cut here that's all. Didn't she sleep her way to the top anyways.
Morbidly Obese Gummi says – reply to this

84

It was good enough for her to meet and marry that old fossil Michael Douglas. She is a has-been so now has to stir up some controversary to get some attention.
desar says – reply to this

85

what a BITCH! or maybe she wasn't referring to the poor people 'cuse we all can just come and go as we please. maybe she doesn't like LA because it makes her Grandpa/husband melt.

I love that she is wearing a Twins hat!!!!!!! She and her hubby should move here and raise there kids. I is a wonderful place to grow up and keeps you grounded!!
Porky says – reply to this

88

Re: Robbi – Typical Brangeloonie comment - the world revolves around Brangelina and everyone else is "jealous". How is she biting the hand that feeds her? She didn't say anything about hating studio execs. She just hates L.A. and as someone who lives here and has watched the constant flow of empty-headed, starf*cking transplants like Perez Hilton who are driving this city to ruin with their shallowness, I don't blame her.

95

I AGREE 1000%. IT'S A COLD, SHALLOW PLACE FILLED WITH BREAST IMPLANTS AND BLEACHED BLONDS HAIR, LIPOSUCTIONED OLD HAGS TRYING TO BE 20 AGAIN. Not a place to raise kids at all. Look what happened to Lindsay, Britney. They arrived in LA and became train wrecks. She's right.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
