Michael Stipe and Michael Douglas holiday together
18 August 2006
Michael Stipe and Michael Douglas have been taking break from the worlds of music and acting to have a holiday together.
The two Michaels have been out and about on the Italian island of Ponza, causing a stir among locals but holidaying much like many any one else.
The REM singer and Wall Street star headed out shopping around the island's main town Ponza Porto and were photographed buying ice cream, reports Hello! Magazine.
The unlikely pair for a lads holiday also headed out in the evening together to sample what the 18th century Ponza Porto has on offer when the sun goes down.
Ponza, with a surface area of only around 7.3 sq km, lies 33km off the western coast of Italy between Rome and Naples.
The island's historic buildings and mountainous landscape lead many to compare it to Capri although it is much less visited.
Meanwhile Douglas's wife Catherine Zeta Jones has been in London filming a biopic of the escapologist Harry Houdini with Guy Pierce.
