Catherine Zeta-Jones Dropped by T-Mobile  9/28/06

Screen beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones will no longer be the face of phone giant T-Mobile from next year (07), as the company have no plans to renew her contract.

The Ocean's Twelve star has appeared in American advertising campaigns for the firm since signing a reportedly multi-million dollar contract in 2003, also taking the role as their glamorous spokesperson.

But T-Mobile claims to want a more down to earth, "man on the street" persona to tout their upcoming range of internet phone products.

T-Mobile spokesman Peter Dobrow says, "When Catherine Zeta-Jones agreed to be our spokesperson four years ago, we could never have imagined the cache appeal she would have brought to T-Mobile.

"Her style, credibility and integrity have been a tremendous benefit for our company and our brand.

"We could not have asked for a better partner in launching T-Mobile than Catherine Zeta-Jones."
