Catherine Zeta Jones has Bi-Polar

She is in a mental heath/rehab facility of some sort apparently. Not quite sure whether this counts as sleb twaddle or whether it should be in mental health though.

I also heard earlier today that she had withdrawn her patronage/sponsorship of the some arts project or other in Swansea - don't know whether the two things are connected?

bi polar?? wow......

bibbitybobbityhat · 13/04/2011 22:58

Is that you Fellatio? Why the name change? Were you banned or summat?

BitOfFunnyBunny · 13/04/2011 23:00

Or a mini-flounce?

No I have never been banned! It just means if people are googling you regularly they won't find you [paranoid]

Interesting.

But has Holly W had that baby yet? Grin

No, no flouncing either. It's just an anti googling mechanism. I go the idea from Mamaz0n. I'm not aware that anyone gave her a hard time for her stylish zero. I'm getting loads of flack over mine. Hmm

But Mamazon had deregged. So you look suspicious . Who's following you anyway? Or are you worried that CZJ' people might be after you?

No BoF but I might be trying to pretend to my DH that I spend less time on here than I do. Blush

Gosh, poor woman. And her poor family.

Isn't it "he is bi-polar" though? [nitpicks]

FellatioNels0n · 13/04/2011 23:12

So why would someone dereg then? Is it when they have such a major flounce that they vow they are never coming back, but they can't trust themselves to stay away so they actually close their own accounts? Then they come back anyway with a different name? Confused

Good plan, Fellatio. Does it look good on me?

I think Michael was a "sex addict", MmeL

Don't know about thaty MmeLindt. I knwo he was treated for sex addiction at one point but that was before he met her.

Yes it suits you B0F. Do you need to pull off the same big fat lie as well then? Grin

OP posts:
UrsulaBuffay · 13/04/2011 23:15

I thought Mme meant grammatically shouldn't it be 'is bi-polar' rather than 'has'.

Bit0fFunnyBunny · 13/04/2011 23:15

The very thought! Grin

Oh I see! Sorry I misread it. Don't know about the is/has thing. I'll bow to Madame, she's usually right.

FellatioNels0n · 13/04/2011 23:26

Right I'm back, and I'm in fighting mood. According to the Inter Web she 'has' Bi-Polar disorder. So perhaps you can 'have' it, or 'be' it.

QuintessentialShadows · 13/04/2011 23:28

Oh, I must get myself a zero. I have no opinion about the beautiful zeta jones.

bibbitybobbityhat · 13/04/2011 23:31

Isn't it rather unusual to be diagnosed with bi-polar in your 40s?

sharbie · 13/04/2011 23:38

sounds bit dodgy

WhatSheSaid · 13/04/2011 23:55

I suspect she hasn't just been diagnosed with it. She has prob had a diagnosis for a while but is only just revealing it to the media now - perhaps someone was about to sell a story on her.

EvenLessNarkyPuffin · 14/04/2011 00:03

No. It's now 'has' not 'is'. It's trying to avoid defining the person by the illness.

stylenotfashion · 14/04/2011 09:02

Poor CZJ. I am in no way a previous fan of hers but I admire her so much for actually coming out and saying its bipolar, thereby raising awareness of mental illness and helping a little bit to lessen the stigma. She could so easily have made up a story but I respect her hugely now for her honesty.

Depression has many, many guises and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Which is strange as the first thing you feel when you're diagnosed is shame.

Love and respect to CZJ - thank you from little old me.
