I hate you Michael Douglas.

I have never been so upset...

These were some of the only commercials I'd watch, just to hear her say her breathy "Get more."
T-mobile. Get less.

She is absolutely Beautiful and this just gives me another reason to fast forward through commercials on Tivo!!

Wait... Seriously... People care?

I couldn't believe it when I was filling out a customer comment card after buying my T-Mobile phone, it asked, "Why did you buy this phone?" and Catherine was actually listed as a choice. I thought to myself, they gotta be kidding; who buys a phone because of the spokesperson?

Well, day-mn. I guess Travis does.

Well, day-mn. It seems Travis would.

I gotta admit, I did not see that coming.

She must have signed with HP for their slimming effect cameras.

Well, Ms Z-J probably costs millions to hire. Some unknown Tool-on-the-Street just a few thousand.

(Can you imagine a cushier job? Show up, say two words, then cash the big paycheck!)

I've never been a huge fan of Cathrine being the T-Mobile lady. Although I'll admit the picture gizmodo has here is much better than the motherly figure she represents for T-Mobile.

As long as the replacement is a younger, more attractive girl of whom i can fantasize, i'll be just fine.

She definitely made me pay attention to T-Mobile. "Man-on-the-street", huh?

As far as I'm concerned CZJ was about the only thing T-Mobile had going for them. Certainly the only thing that made me give their ads a second glance.....

This is upsetting. She always had my attention when the ads ran, although I have to admit I won't be missing her ambiguous British/American/Aussie/Spanish accent.

Ever since she hooked up with that old decrepit Douglas guy, she's not the same sexy hot babe anymore - I could care less if T-Mobile drops her.

WSJ didn't have T-Mobiles consent when writing this article, it's just speculation and rumors.

Admittedly, I never bought a single thing from T-Mobile, but I have thoroughly enjoyed their commercials.

Well, on the bright side, I hope this frees up CZJ to make some more movies instead. Or, based on that last Zorro movie, maybe that isn't such a great thing, after all.

Oh, and Travis -- great photo! Thanks!

I'm switching service.

I buy everything based solely on celebrity endorsements. If Wilfred Brimley had been pushing sex changes, I'd be a woman right now, instead of merely eating oatmeal.

Why? Because celebrity is an important concept, which we should support and promote forever. Celebrities make our society better.

Now I have to go vomit to the point of dry heaves.

She was an imporovement over Jamie Lee Curtis but has gotten long in the tooth since starting a family with Douglas. That picture must be from 10 years ago at least.

Hmm, if you had T-Mobile to begin with, then may Catherine have mercy on your soul.

Sad day, indeed...KZJ is a goddess... I shall be sad. No longer will I WATCH television commercials... (Big sigh)

I agree with Satorical! ;-)

Really, now that they've dumped that euro-trash, I might consider switching to T-mobile.

@Narsil

Yeah, 1000 minutes plus free N&W for $40.00/month? Who in their right mind would want that? Especially when you could pay that same price for 450 minutes with Cingular or VZW. Hey but you do get rollover with Cingular, right?

I really could care less about all the super-mega-high-speed features that the other providers, um, provide. I just want a phone that I can call people and send text and picture messages with. And with T-Mo I can do for a hell of a lot cheaper than any other provider out there.

As for CZJ, whatever. The picture's hot, but like another poster said, it's probably 10 years old.

I remember some of their phones coming with CZJ wallpaper; back to awkward screen caps, I guess.

And Chuck, that's unambiguously Welsh.

Woo Hoo, YES!!! Finally I can stop covering my eyes and vomiting copiously whenever a T-Mobile commercial comes on...

Ahem, did I happen to say that I don't really like CZJ?

Of course now, she and Michael are free to concentrate on frivilous lawsuits and odd political diatribes, so there is a bright side. :^)

Meh. I'm on Sprint, so this really doesn't effect me in any way. Any other way than my pants, that is. At least it was easier to see Catherine in the T-Mobile commercials than to see that "practice family" in the Sprint ads.

CZJ is a bitch and should be spanked. It will be good to see less of her and her cheesy arrogant attitude.

Travis, freaking hilarious post.

Maybe she model the sensor jeans below.

Anyone else remember those Mad TV parody commericals of Catherine Zeta-Jones. They had one of the actors playing her - in a Chicken suit, selling mattresses... 'Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!' Too funny... I can't find the video... Don't fire me.

How about launching a web campaign to bring Catherine back? I started with T-Mob before the rebaranding with Jamie Lee-Curtis for Voicestream. I absolutely love her as an actress and think she was a great spokeperson for Voicestream so I was pretty sad to see her go after they rebranded. Then Catherine came aboard. Now mind you that as a gay male I think she is hot. If I was straight I'd be peeing in my pants too. So let's raise a stink and voice our opinions to T-Mobile. After all why is it that the corporate hog (even though I LOVE T-Mob), is dictating ones who pay for their service, who should represent them. I want CZJ to represent me and my network. Unless they'll decide to pick a drop dead gorgeous guy with deep voice...then Bon Voyage Cathy...don't let the door hit your ass....but in "american reality" the "man-on-street" person T-Mob will pick will probably have a big ass and will weight 300lbs and will say Get More as he/she will be stuffing herself with hamburgers.

Well, what a time to announce this, with her birthday being on 9/25, I can just imagine the card from T-Mobile.

Dear Catherine, Many happy returns on this joyous day, BTW, we are sorry to announce that we no longer require your services as our spokesperson.

T-Mobile.

I don't get it, she's a sexy, sophisticated woman who comes off as very intelligent and articulate. Sure they could get a woman from a "Girls Gone Wild" video who's younger but I'd much rather pay the piper to have her as the corporate image than some unknown twinkie. Advertising and image is all about value, not doing it the cheapest when you operate on the level of a multi billion dollar company.

This sounds like some executive bean counter came up with an idea to cleave off their advertising budget, but was short sighted that it would hurt the company in the long term.

I'm willing to bet they are going to use some unknown twinkie who will do it for free just to get known and nobody will pay attention to their ads, costing them triple digit millions in wasted effort over the long term.

I liked her stutt butt double in that movie with Sean Connery. you know, the oh-so-shapely behind in closeup when she was supposedly avoiding the laser beam theif sensors...

Let's see, would I rather ogle one of the world's most beautiful women, or be forced to look at some schmuck? Tough choice...

I've never been all that impressed with T-mobile, but if I was ever going to switch, it would have been for my sweet, sweet, Catherine.

you say:

I always check out the newspaper ads for T-Mobile showing ZJ with parted lips and squanting.

IT'S ABOUT TIME THEY HAD A HOT, NON-CELEBRITY MALE AS THE T-MOBILE SPOKESPERSON, INSTEAD.

SO, IT MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE A GOOD DECISION IN THE LONG-RUN.
