CATHERINE ZETA-JONES' BEAUTY SECRET: MASHED BANANAS

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES' BEAUTY SECRET: MASHED BANANAS

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- If you need any proof that being a sex symbol is a dirty job, just ask "Entrapment" star Catherine Zeta-Jones. "Allure" magazine is reporting that Catherine keeps her long locks luscious by mashing whole bananas directly into her hair. She also shampoos her hair with beer to give it extra shine -- although she recommends a light lager instead of a dark beer because, "You don't want foam on your head." Of course, Catherine wasn't always a sex symbol. She claims that when she was born, she was so ugly that her mom referred to her as the "frog." Zeta-Jones' next movie is "The Haunting", which opens July 23.
