HAVANA (AP) - Michael Douglas staged an impromptu walking tour of the Cuban capital's historic district Tuesday, posing for photos with construction workers and surprised residents.
His visit came two days after fellow Oscar-winner Sean Penn arrived in Cuba, reportedly seeking an interview with 82-year-old Fidel Castro, who has been little seen since announcing he was suffering from an unspecified illness in July 2006. He stepped down as Cuba's president in February of the following year and was replaced by his brother Raul.
Penn traveled to the Isle of Youth, off mainland Cuba on Monday to meet with local artists. There was no word on whether he got to see Fidel.

If he wants to give up CZJ now, I’ll take good care of her.

"But dont question their patriotism..." Douglas is a citizen of Bermuda; His mother was Bermudian. He and Jones live there almost full-time - it's where their kids go to school. And, he's talked about the income tax advantages of living there. That comment made me wonder if was still a US citizen, because as a US citizen, you're paying income taxes no matter where you live, or where you make it.

I actually thought Michael Douglas had some brain cells left. My mistake.

Just the cost to enter the game would decimate your bank balance. Maybe you could caddy and get a little tip?
