Catherine Zeta-Jones has been hotly-tipped to play Sue Ellen Ewing in a movie version of TV classic 'Dallas'.

The Welsh beauty is said to be the favourite to star as the long-suffering alcoholic wife of leading man JR Ewing, but faces tough competition from stars such as Demi Moore and Jennifer Lopez.

John Travolta, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner are in the running to play JR, originally played by Larry Hagman in the '80s TV hit, according to media reports.

Earlier this month, it was revealed Zeta has splashed out a fortune - on bottled Welsh air.

The raven-haired beauty allegedly forks out £24 per bottle of air from her native Wales - and has it flown to her Los Angeles home.

The patriotic actress then dishes it out to friends visiting her and husband Michael Douglas.

Zeta Jones reportedly came up with the idea after learning a businessman was bottling the atmosphere in the Welsh Valleys.

But entrepreneur John Gronow remained tight-lipped about whether the actress is a customer, saying: "I'm afraid I can't talk about Ms Jones. I'm not allowed to."
