Bad news for anyone who bought tix to see actor Michael Douglas deliver the Tate Lecture next month at SMU. Word is Catherine Zeta-Jones’ hubby has canceled the Feb. 5 appearance because of “unforeseen professional obligations,” whatever that means. He’s being replaced by actor Martin Sheen, who will be interviewed by Belo8 film critic Gary Cogill.

    If anyone has a ticket to this that they won’t be using, I am in the market to buy one, and possibly two. So, if you really wanted to see Michael and don’t care to hear Martin, please let me know.

    On a semi-related note, I have to ask: Why are we calling WFAA Belo8 again? I’ve never understood this and it’s driving me crazy. Please help.

    Matt: Because Belo owns Channel 8. Hope you feel better soon.

    Martin Sheen is way cooler than Michael Douglas anyway. I’m thinking what Linda’s thinking… how do we get tickets?
