Academy Award-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones was welcomed to Boston by a group of Harvard University boys dressed in drag. The Hasty Pudding Theatricals celebrated Zeta-Jones as their 2005 Woman of the Year last week through comedy, chorus and cross-dressing costumes. Although rain cancelled the usual parade of the Woman of the Year through the streets of Cambridge, Zeta-Jones was still treated by the Theatricals to the traditional humorous roast-or stage mockery-and was awarded the traditional pudding pot trophy. Zeta-Jones arrived with her husband Michael Douglas who is a previous Hasty Pudding Man of the Year honoree.

Inside the theater, the Hasty Pudding cast mocked Zeta-Jones' previous movie roles by forcing her to re-enact the sword-fight scene with Antonio Banderas from The Mask of Zorro and making her speak Welsh to a poodle to spoof her character in Intolerable Cruelty. They also subjected the actress to a lie detector test and had her perform a spoof song from her film, Chicago. However, Zeta-Jones took the roasting in good humor, even joshing it up with the Hasty Pudding cast.

Upon finally receiving her pudding pot award, Zeta-Jones joked that this was one of the memorable moments of her life along with winning her Oscar and her 10-hour labor period while giving birth to one of her kids. Although Zeta-Jones never went to college, she joked after meeting the Hasty Pudding Theatricals she was glad to know that at Harvard, "they were not that bright."

Later at a press conference, the actress revealed that she'd someday like to do a movie with her husband, Michael Douglas, particularly a remake of The War of the Roses, because she thinks audiences would like to see them throw plates at each other. She also commented that her favorite scene in The Mask of Zorro was the sword-fight scene in which Antonio Banderas ripped her clothes off. Before leaving, Zeta-Jones posed for photographers with her pot, which she stated she would display on the mantle in between her Oscar and her husband's Pudding prize.
