Finished up with a brief trip to Europe, Catherine Zeta Jones was spotted preparing for an outbound flight at Heathrow Airport in London, England on Thursday morning (September 30).
Catching a plane back to New York City, the "Mask of Zorro" actress looked focused as she trekked through the terminal ahead of the overseas jaunt.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Zeta-Jones made the brief trip to Europe to kick off the 2010 Ryder Cup golf event with a special concert ceremony.
Bringing up her cancer-battling husband Michael Douglas - who was supposed to be in attendance - during her speech, Catherine tearfully said, "Everyone couldn?t be happier with his progress. He?s holding up with great strength and dignity."
The 41-year-old continued, "Michael will be glued to anything that has a golf ball and a club, especially the Ryder Cup. Usually I would be watching it with him. He would be representing the American team and I would be wholeheartedly representing the European team, but not this year, maybe next time."

Making an appearance to kick off the annual Ryder Cup golf tournament, Catherine Zeta Jones attended the ?Welcome to Wales? concert on Wednesday (September 29).
The ?Chicago? beauty looked dazzling in long, red gown as she posed for pictures and spoke with press before heading inside for her performance.
Of this honor, Zeta-Jones told press, "I'm delighted to be back in Wales for this very special concert to mark the launch of this landmark event. To welcome the most prestigious and recognised event in the golfing calendar to Wales is a real honour. I don't think Wales has ever seen anything on this scale so it's very exciting to be part of it."
Meanwhile, Catherine?s husband Michael Douglas was spotted walking their daughter Carys to school earlier today in New York City.
A thin-looking Douglas continues to recover after an intense bout of chemotherapy treatment on a tumor found in his throat a few months back.

Michael Douglas made an appearance at the premiere of Wall St. 2: Money Never Sleeps last night. There was speculation as to whether he would be able to make it, as he’s been open about the fact that he’s currently undergoing treatment for stage four throat cancer. He came, although some outlets claim that he’s having trouble speaking and barely spoke to reporters. His voice was weak just one week into his chemotherapy, when he went on Letterman, and he said at that time that the chemo and radiation burned his mouth and that he couldn’t take solids. Still, he spoke a little at the press conference ahead of the premiere, according to People, and talked about what he’s been going through.
“I’m in the middle of my program, and it’s going along fine,” Douglas, 65, told PEOPLE at a press conference for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on Sunday. “I’m very optimistic and hopeful right now.”
He added: “My family has been very supportive. There’s not a lot that anybody can do. You’ve just got to kind of do the program. But it’s the world you [learn to] understand about cancer. You get to know cancer survivors, and the kind of support and outpouring I’ve been getting has just been amazing.”
Despite his intensive course of radiation and chemotherapy to treat a tumor in his throat, Douglas said he has “a lot of things to be grateful for.”
Among those things is his work. The new Wall Street film opens this Friday, and Douglas said he’s “looking for a great opening night.” He also credited costar Shia Labeouf for being the heart and soul of the movie.
“He carries the movie,” Douglas says. “I had to do that before, and I know the responsibility, but Shia carries every scene. It’s a tremendous responsibility for anybody.”

It’s clear that there’s a lot of love between Douglas and his young co-star, Shia Labeouf. Shia also heaped praise on Douglas ahead of the premiere. He called him a “wolf” and a “strong man” in an interview with the Associated Press, adding “all I know of his vulnerabilities is that when he first came to set he had just gone through knee surgery, his kid just went into the drum… he was dealing with a lot, never was it ‘woe is me,’ never. I think he’s one of the strongest American actors we have… my mom’s still’s got a crush on him. I feel like I have a little crush on him. Everybody’s got a crush on him.”
Douglas had an extensive interview in Parade magazine recently and I really admire the stance he’s taken toward cancer and life in general. He said that he went public with his diagnosis because “Millions of families are going through the same thing my family and I are now going through. If I can bring any relief or encouragement to those suffering, that?s the good news.” As for his own health battle, he says he’s remaining positive and is planning for a full recovery. “I?m in good spirits. I?m an optimistic guy? Nothing has deterred me from my belief that I am going to beat this.” We’re rooting for you Michael!

Outlets have some quotes from Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas’ cover story interview in People this week. A lot of them are focusing on how angry Catherine Zeta Jones says she is that it took so long for doctors to diagnose her husband’s throat cancer, which is now at stage 4. A “walnut-sized” tumor was found under his tongue and he’s gone through a week of chemotherapy and radiation so far to treat it. Douglas said on Letterman that his cancer has not spread beyond his head and neck, and that his prognosis is at least 80% or better. He admitted that it took weeks and many doctors to find out the problem and that “I actually went through a litany of doctors and tests and they didn?t find anything.” Zeta Jones says in People that she’s “furious they didn’t detect it earlier”
Catherine Zeta-Jones has revealed her anger at doctors who failed to spot her husband’s cancer.
She said Michael Douglas had complained repeatedly about ear and throat pain but it was not until three weeks ago that a walnut-size tumour was discovered under his tongue.
‘It makes me furious they didn’t detect it earlier,’ Miss Zeta-Jones said. ‘He sought every option and nothing was found.’
The actress, who has been married to 65-year-old Douglas for ten years, admitted she wasn’t that surprised when throat cancer was finally diagnosed.
‘It wasn’t a huge shock,’ she said in a magazine interview. ‘I knew something was up. He knew something was up.’
While his wife was furious about the late diagnosis, Douglas was more understanding.
‘These things sometimes just don’t show up,’ he said.
He said his family were at their home on Bermuda while he has treatment in New York. He said Miss Zeta-Jones, 40, had been ’so supportive’ since the diagnosis.
She said in her interview with People magazine that her husband had broken the news of his illness to their children Dylan, ten, and Carys, seven.
She also revealed she was struggling emotionally with seeing him lose his strength as a result of the treatment. ‘I know maybe I should be stronger, but…the hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.’
[From The Daily Mail]
This just goes to show that even rich and famous people, presumably with access to the best doctors in the world, have trouble getting a diagnosis. From what I understand there’s no way to detect cancer other than looking at the symptoms, checking blood markers and doing an MRI, x-ray or biopsy where it’s suspected. If the guy has a “walnut-sized” tumor under his tongue, was it obvious and why didn’t anyone just look in his damn mouth? This is sadly common even when people have the best insurance. Medicine is not an exact science and requires a lot of knowledge and motivation on the doctor’s part. There are bad doctors out there, just as there are good doctors using all means at their disposal to do what’s best for their patients. Sometimes it’s too late before you find a good one.
I hope that Douglas is going to be ok, and that the treatment works for him. He seems to be hanging in there and he has so many people rooting for him. We’ll never know if his cancer could have been caught earlier if one of the doctors he saw just asked the right questions or followed up properly. That’s got to make his loved ones livid.

Some people think I like to rag on Catherine Zeta-Jones. I really don?t. While I don?t think she?s the most talented actress around, I am quite the admirer of her beauty. And while I think she does certain things to maintain her beauty (little tweaks here and there, perhaps lying about her age), I have to think that Catherine is, was and always will be a beautiful woman. But even beautiful women have off-days. Even beautiful women take a bad photo every now and then. Even beautiful women occasionally take a photo and you?re like, ?Jesus, Catherine, try some night cream.? But is it just me, or does she also look? tweaked? Like, she just aged very rapidly, and like she got something done to her face that I can?t put my finger on.
Anyway, these are photos of Zeta and Michael Douglas at the Children’s Hospital for Wales in Cardiff’s University Hospital on July 23, 2010 in Cardiff, Wales. I guess there were just visiting, maybe? It looks like a PR visit. Fame Pictures notes: ?Catherine looked quite tired, and sported some gray roots.? She and Michael have been on vacation for the past month, perhaps that?s it? Catherine didn?t adhere to her strict regiment of gradual tweaking and hair dying and such, and she was just rolling around a yacht with an endless supply of mojitos, and that?s why she looks different? Could be.
