Zeta-Jones' Web Connection

"Ocean's Twelve" reunites Hollywood heavyweights George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts as a gang of thieves trying to pull off another multi-million dollar heist.

This time around, Catherine Zeta-Jones joins the ensemble as a detective hot on the crooks' trail.

People magazine senior editor Jess Cagle sat down Zeta-Jones and her new buddy Damon to talk about the star-studded sequel.

Leaving real-life husband Michael Douglas and her two kids at home, Zeta-Jones joined the cast on locations around the globe, hop-scotching from one fabulous location to another.

She told Cagle she tried to get back home as often as she could, but she also used a Web-cam to help her stay in touch with Douglas and her two kids, "especially with the kids, because if they're not with me, I get to see them all squeaky clean out of the bathtub. So even though I'm not there, that really helps me."

In "Ocean's Twelve," Zeta Jones plays a detective specializing in solving sophisticated thefts. Pitt plays her former lover, a thief who stole her heart before he dumped her years before. "He's everything that she just wants to nail and get (arrest). And…happens to be probably the love of her life," the actress says.

During a quick game of word association, Damon tells Cagle that Pitt is the "biggest movie star in the world, a regular guy."

"Unbelievable. A freak of nature," Zeta-Jones chips in.

"He is a freak of nature," Damon agreed, "but I don't think anybody else could do it as well as he does. …He's just an honorable, good, normal guy."

More quick takes? Damon, asked about romance, says Zeta-Jones and Douglas "aren't a bad place to look." And Zeta-Jones has an immediate "no comment," with a chuckle, when asked about tabloids.

Roberts was pregnant when the movie was made, Zeta-Jones notes: "She…looked great and had great energy. It was hard to remind yourself that she is pregnant, with twins to boot. ..But we talked girlie talk in the trailer."

Cagle notes there are no plans at the moment for another sequel, "Ocean's Thirteen."
