ZETA-JONES FURIOUS WITH DOG TRIBUTE
CATHERINE ZETA-JONES was furious to learn her name was to inspire a canine character in new movie SNOW CAKE, and ordered her lawyers to halt the unflattering tribute immediately.
The film, starring SIGOURNEY WEAVER and ALAN RICKMAN, was to feature a pooch bearing the same moniker as the Hollywood actress - but Zeta-Jones was not amused.
An aide for production company Revolution Films says, "Her lawyers wrote back and said that on no account could her name be used for a dog." Scriptwriter ANGELA PELL says, "I liked the idea of naming the dog Catherine Zeta-Jones, because in the film it belongs to a teenage girl, and I felt it was the kind of name a teenage girl might go for.
"It’s a shame we had to change it, it’s only a story after all."

I think, after hearing Zeta-Jones’ reaction, the dog should be “relieved” to have had her name changed.
