Michael Douglas took a couple of years off from making movies to spend time with his family, relax, and improve his golf game. The Oscar-winning actor/producer returns to the big screen in The Sentinel, a political thriller co-starring Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives). The film involves Secret Service agents assigned to protect the President of the United States and the First Lady. They discover there's a mole in the agency and must figure out who it is before it's too late. (Pictured: Eva Longoria © 20th Century Fox)

Douglas may be regretting his decision to return to public life after the brouhaha over his alleged negative comments about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made to a reporter for GQ. Douglas denies he said anything derogatory about Pitt. "I spent more than 20 hours with this reporter with all these tape recorders and asked her to play back the tape for me," Douglas explained during The Sentinel press junket. "She's told me that she turned the tape recorder off. And I said, 'Well that was convenient.' So now what do you do? I mean… she says, 'Oh, but I have you saying it.' I say, 'Well it doesn't sound like anything I would say.' I have no idea. I consider him a good friend. He did a picture with Catherine, Oceans 12. Angelina and I do both work for the United Nations. I admire what she's done. I just don't know what this would possibly be about except to sell your magazines." So how does Douglas plan to protect himself from being misquoted again? Douglas had his own tape recorder going during the roundtable interviews for The Sentinel. Douglas said, "I'm tape-recording every meeting I have now and, so… It's what I've started doing as far as dealing with print." Can you blame him?
