Douglas and Zeta-Jones meet alleged stalker

Hollywood couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are set to come face to face with the woman accused of making their lives a misery through a series of chilling death threats today.

The pair are scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles courthouse, where they'll fire off at 32-year-old alleged stalker Dannette Knight, who's accused of making death threats against Zeta-Jones due to an unhealthy infatuation with Douglas.

The meeting comes as Knight's lawyer, Dick Herman, says he's not convinced his client wrote all the letters she's alleged to have sent, and she certainly doesn't deserve to go to jail for 19 years - as proposed.

He said yesterday: "She had a girlish crush on Michael Douglas.

"She's a normal person who got caught up in celebrity star-struck stuff."

But, according to prosecutors in the case, Knight wrote more than a dozen threatening letters to the couple's friends and family, including one to Kirk Douglas, inviting him to Zeta-Jones' funeral and another stating George Clooney was the real father of his granddaughter Cerys.

Once arrested, Knight wrote a letter to Zeta-Jones apologising for her irrational actions.

Knight's fiancé, Ronald Calvin, has also come forward to plead on his girlfriend's behalf.

He suggests Zeta-Jones and Douglas should accept his lover's apology, stating: "She (Knight) has every intention of pursuing her career as a child psychologist and a loving wife to myself and, hopefully, the mother of my children."
