"He messed up big time," the Wall Street star said of Cameron, who was sentenced to five years in prison on April 20 in connection with convictions on heroin possession and conspiracy to sell crystal meth. "He was a drug dealer, and crystal meth is one of the worst things that can happen."

Douglas said he thinks Cameron is "relieved" knowing the length of his sentence, and the road that lies ahead. He said that Cameron's public struggles mark one of the downsides of celebrity, as less famous offenders in similar predicaments wouldn’t receive the same fanfare.

The actor said he's also relieved the sentencing has passed, and thanked well-wishers for the sympathetic cards and letters he's received throughout this ordeal.
"I love him," Douglas said of Cameron. "He's a great kid."
The actor's new film, Solitary Man, is in theaters now.

I have always had a creepy feeling about MD as well. He seems intense and untrustworthy. I think he is a player with the ladies, or at least was in his younger years, but I don't have facts here.

Maybe Dina Lohan can learn something from Michael Douglas about being honest & owning up to whatever problem(s) her daughter may have as well instead of being in denial...

apparently Michael didn't instill the same values that Kirk made sure Michael had. Hard work, normal life, away from the limelight.

so, at the end of the day Michael, wouldn't it just have been better and cheaper and healthier to have supported your son and his habit in a safe environment?

WTF? Are you Dina Lohan, or perhaps, Lindsay? That's a disturbing statement. I hope you're joking.
