Belly-dancing Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones shows off her belly-dancing moves in new Houdini biopic Death Defying Acts

She proved she could dance with the best of them with her Oscar-winning turn in Chicago and now Catherine Zeta-Jones is out to prove her belly-dancing is as polished as her high kicks in the forthcoming Houdini biopic, Death Defying Acts.

Playing a psychic who has an affair with the magician during the 1920s, Catherine stars opposite Guy Pearce as Houdini – the world's most famous escapologist.

Released in the UK later this year, this early picture shows Michael Douglas's wife looking as bodylicious as usual. Anyone else think belly dancing's on course to be 2008's trendiest fitness class?
