Kirk Douglas Is Going Downhill Fast

Posted May 29th 2008 4:21PM by TMZ Staff

A visibly excited (and by that we mean terrified) Kirk Douglas used his own power to conquer a slide at a L.A. park on Wednesday. Women and children first!

Born Issur Danielovitch, the 91-year-old living legend -- who has donated millions to parks -- was on hand for the dedication of the playground in his and his wife's honor.

By the way, those are red socks -- not his legs.

Travolta's Hetero Man-on-Man Kiss -- Take 2

Posted Nov 16th 2007 1:44PM by TMZ Staff

Heterosexual A-list Scientologist smoocher John Travolta was up to his old tricks again -- this time greeting Kirk Douglas with a wet, non-sexual, man-on-man kiss! Face/Off!

After Kirk, 90, presented John with an award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on Thursday, they did what any two, average, straight, red-blooded American men would do -- they locked lips! Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!

Last year, the 53-year-old "Hairspray" diva was snapped kissing his male nanny on the lips, which a rep for the star reportedly said was "customary" for John to do with all of his close male and female friends -- including his wife, Kelly Preston!

Even 90-Year-Olds Need Friends

Posted Mar 24th 2007 3:03AM by TMZ Staff

Whether you're 16 -- or were born in 1916, a hipster -- or you just got a new hip, it appears that everyone and their great grandfather is on MySpace. The latest whippersnapper to join the online community is none other than Hollywood living legend, Spartacus himself, Kirk Douglas.

The trendy nonagenarian has created a profile for his new memoir, "Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning," which reveals some interesting tidbits about the craggy actor/author's zest for life. Kirk, father-in-law of Catherine Zeta-Jones, enjoys watching all of his own old movies, listening to Elvis, and "now that I have my new knees - golf!" His hero is President Truman, and the person he'd most like to meet is "Angelina Jolie, when she comes back from Vietnam and if my wife lets me." Maybe she'll adopt him!

While you won't find any saucy pics of the Antonella Barba variety here, the one of Douglas dressed as Bozo is just plain priceless!

Kirk Douglas: New King of the Late Night Scene?

Posted Aug 2nd 2006 12:09PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ hit the streets for a star-studded Tuesday night, hitting up all the celebs' favorite spots to bring you another exciting edition of Star Catcher.

Our first stop for the night was Il Sole, a popular restaurant on Sunset Blvd., where we caught up with Courteney Cox and David Arquette. The two picked up their car from the valet, giving our cameraman a quick hello on the way.

From there we were off to Mr. Chow where we met up with Ludacris, aka Chris Bridges. The multi-platinum-selling rapper and "Hustle & Flow" star looked a little different than usual -- he cut off his cornrows and was sporting a freshly cut 'do.

Also on hand was legendary actor Kirk Douglas, still taking time out to sign autographs for fans.

We completed our night at always-hopping Hyde, where we ran into Mary-Kate Olsen, adult film star Ron Jeremy (wondering where Paris Hilton was), Incubus lead singer Brandon Boyd and "CSI's" Adam Rodriguez.

All this and more in this version of Star Catcher
