Bewitched, Bothered or Bewildered?

Have you ever heard the lyrics to the theme song of Bewitched?

Bewitched, Bewitched, you got me in your spell
Bewitched, Bewitched, you know your craft so well


How many of you feel that way about your partner? How many of you have those little side glances and inside looks that only the two of you know the meaning? Well, you can't say that about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban can you? There is no chemistry at all. Every look and glance is scripted; every forehead touching is on a mark. After observing these two for the past few years you don't even have to guess that they don't bump uglies in the night.


Kidman would have you believe otherwise; she ran to the People reporter at the New York premiere of the epic and went on and on about how her husband is the sexiest man in the world, not Hugh Jackman. And there is this new planted story that Keith is jealous of the steamy love scenes. An ill-timed attempt at a kiss is an indication that she finds him suitable as an escort and that’s about it.

There is some speculation as to why she went on and on about Keith. Was it because she screwed up a basic Q & A presented to her by David Letterman? Was it because there are rumors that there is trouble in her marriage; that perhaps his or her head was turned by another? Is it because a love story was supposed to sell her epic and her own love story needed to be as strong at the one in the epic?


Kidman knows about showing the sort of tease and tickle needed to sell a relationship to the masses. She was able to do it in droves with her one true love. She even showed it when she was dating Lenny. But she has never been able to show it with Keith. Do you wonder why?

Keith Urban is a sexy man. Anyone who has been around and seen his rise to fame knows that his sexiness and his sensuousness have all been marketed to the hilt in making him a star. The ‘tragic romantic’ he called himself recently in an interview, was that a commentary on his current relationship? He tries to act as though she is the be all and end all. He looks at her and they have that hand grab thing. At a hockey game in Nashville he put his arms around her from behind and she literally cringed. That’s a long way from the time Kidman rode piggy back on her one true love as they departed a plane. They don't look happy.

Does happiness really matter, however? For you see, we are supposed to be jealous because Kidman is the one he married. The woman he waited his whole life for; she does have his only child, too. If you were living in a fantasy that Keith Urban was going to give you the time of day - that was part of the marketing plan. He might have had a one-nighter but those days are now over. It was time for him to be married because being 37 and not publicly in a relationship either made you a man-ho or gay, and well, you know how people are. Kidman was the fix that was needed. However, no one really buys them as a couple. People who have seen them either lie because they like one or both of them, or feel Kidman can do something for them since she is a Hollywood star and so much more than most of us, and she bought Keith.

I guess it comes down to there being no chemistry, because why should there be? This relationship that is being sold as a great love story is really nothing more than a business relationship that made one party more famous and the other one sustainable as a star for a few more years. They may have some affection for one another, they may even be friends, but let’s face it - they have no sexual chemistry. If you have any doubts about Keith Urban and that subject go on the internet and look up a performance of an old Tom Petty song with a recent partner. Be warned - you may need a towel or a cigarette afterward or to cool off; just look at Keith and Kidman kiss - that will wake anyone up.

I searched the internet for that video, could not find it. Please e-mail me a link. I'm dying to see it.

Yeah, they are a PR couple with no chemistry, for sure, Urban Myths...and obviously a PR couple with absolutely no PR value whatsoever...for either of them. And now with another obvious movie flop..kidman is now whipping out her "PR bady" in desperation. When I saw the photos of kidman with the orb in tow landing in Paris...along with the baby, I suspected that it was time for kidman to step up the blatant attention mongering... The story is at lainey's...

http://www.laineygossip.com/Nicole_Kidman_with_Sunday_Rose_and_Keith_Urban_in_Paris_to_promote_her_slumping_movie_Australia.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0

"Sunday Rose: just like Little Sci"

...yes, first a first night double date with the jackman's for the benefit of the paps...now it's the entire family...minus the adopted ones... out and about...for the benefit of the paps...As lainey comments..."and …surprise! …there’s mamma holding Sunday Rose in Paris today, a very rare sighting indeed."

maclen said...

...yes...here is the situation...

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117996664.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

'Australia' doesn't awe Down Under

" It may be the most expensive and ambitious film ever made Down Under, and it certainly received saturation media coverage, but Baz Luhrmann's "Australia" isn't breaking records in Oz."...""Australia" mustered a strong but not stellar A$7.8 million ($4.9 million) in its five-day opening weekend, which kicked off on Wednesday."
...Fox opened the film on 643 screens, the widest-ever release on Oz, beating previous record-holder "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" by 30 screens."..."Meanwhile, Sony is riding high after "Quantum of Solace" raked in $7.5 million in Australia the previous weekend."

....so all that results in this...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1091271/Bonjour-Sunday-Rose-Doting-parents-Nicole-Kidman-Keith-Urban-baby-girl-Paris.html

"Bonjour, Sunday Rose! Doting parents Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban take their baby girl to Paris"

...this is how it works in Lalaland...all it takes is her movie to flop to get kidman over her terror...her fear...her dread of the nasty paps getting a pic of her precious baby! She just cannot imagine such a horric thing.... But now...here she is... displying her kid in the middle of trying to hype her film..."HEY...dreaded paps..here we are!"

maclen said...

...ps...

...boy, talk about instant over saturation of kidman's PR baby sighting...GettyImages has 49 pics...

http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?EventId=83882596

..over at GG, they have 20 pics...

http://www.gossipgirls.com/nicole-kidman/nicole-kidman-and-family-au-revoir-paris-243378

...inept team kidman must have spent the etire night giving their pap sources the heads up...and that must have been one long ass stroll!

Urban Myths said...

and that must have been one long ass stroll!

Yeah, maclen, and the miracle baby must never need it's nappy changed or a bottle... no diaper bag in sight!

P.S. PBJ - just go to youtube.com and search for Keith Urban Carrie Underwood duet - the song is Stop Draggin My Heart Around - there are tons of links...

realitycheck said...

Blah blah blah blah blah.

I'm going to be really mean now. You all know how dear Gran is to me, but did you see how white her hair is in those Paris museum photos, when it is pulled right back like that? I would be wearing the black cap.

Once again, Granny is holding the baby's close to her chest so nobody can see her. Talk about a game. Gran still looks very awkward holding baby Sundae - almost like their is no natural connection there.

"Yeah, maclen, and the miracle baby must never need it's nappy changed or a bottle... no diaper bag in sight!"

Certainly Urban Myths, this was simply for the sake of the paps... reading comments on another article...they mentioned also how nice that the parents are bundled up in their leathers... but not even a blanky for the baby... that would obstruct the paps view! Again, a night out with the jackman's...now a little stroll...does she have another night in Paris to take in that play to complete the tomkat thanksgiving media parade?

Tara said...

so taking a 5 month old to a picasso exhibit? What a cultured child she is? I wondered when Kidman was going to pull her out for PR seems no one is buying the Keith and Kidman are so so happy crap anymore. They both look scared to death of a baby that they have had in their care for the a number of months. Well at least Nicole is getting her moneys worth I just hope the kid doesn't get sick since no one bothered to put her in a coat or hat.

maclen said...

yeah..and dont think that everybody is noticing... but obviously not buying the shameless shilling and exploitation...

http://www.dlisted.com/node/29541#comments

"Australia the movie is basically tanking everywhere from the US to its homeland. Because Nicole Kidman has an epic failure on her botoxed hands (you know she does), this means it's time for Sunday Roast to get to work to help promote this piece of shit movie!"

pbj said...

Thank you Urban Myths, I see what you're talking about, I thought it was someone else (possibly x-rated-wishful thinking). I did see that duet twice in concert last spring. Keith is HOT on stage, lucky Carrie.

maclen said...

And so... kidman's new desperate..." Baby helps promo film flop" PR parade continues... with the help from inept team kidman's obvious baby photo op gossip source, Gossip girls, here now with there 3rd baby PR blog in a day!

http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/hugh-jackman-and-nicole-kidman-hola-madrid-209436/

Kidman arrives in Madrid with guess who front and center? That's right, little baby Sunri, seen her being hawked to the paps, leaving the limo...and with dear ol' mum once again smothering her little head, less the paps get too clear a shot of her little face thus ruining her "novelty appeal" to the paps and gossip sites. And guess who is absolutely fine with the baby being exploited to help sell kdiman's failed film? Yes, that moron, the silly grinning idiot, orb, seen in the photos as nanny and diaper bag man, obviously oblivious to the blatant exploitation of his kid for the sake of kidman's career...they should shield the poor kids head from the sudden and over exposure of the flashes of the dreaded paps camera's...wasnt she, according to kidman, very fearful of the paps flashing lights? But hey, what ever it takes to try and save the dirge of a film Australia....

Hi guys.

Over here in Australia, the press are saying the film is very popular here. I wish they would make up their minds as one minute it is a bomb here, the next it is a success. Maclen - got any up-to-date box office details for Down Under?

Also, here is my take on the baby PR in Paris. I am sending over those new batteries, this is getting ridiculous:

"Maclen - got any up-to-date box office details for Down Under?"

Choice, you can check all the numbers for Australia's box office numbers here:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/australia/?yr=2008&wk=48&p=.htm

...for the week of Nov. 27-30, Australia grossed $4.2 mil....quantum of solice made $2.9mil. But as the article I posted earlier today from Variety, it states...

'Australia' doesn't awe Down Under"

"Australia" mustered a strong but not stellar A$7.8 million ($4.9 million) in its five-day opening weekend, which kicked off on Wednesday."
...Fox opened the film on 643 screens, the widest-ever release on Oz, beating previous record-holder "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" by 30 screens.".

maclen said...

...so while I'm at it, I might as well note the "weekday" gross of Australia for monday, choice. Mondays gross for Australia in the US was $985K... for a new total of $20.9mil... so taking this basic daily take for this film for the next 3 days...(tue-thurs)next 3 days X $985= $2.9mil...added to the previous total of $20.9 mil for $23.8mil. Then figure if the movie only grosses 50% of last 3 day weekend total of $14.8mil, this upcoming 3 day weekend,(fri-sun) would be $7.4mil for a two week(14days) total of $31.2mil. Which to just put into perspective...Australia's 2 week, (14day) box office gross might barely squeek past Four Christmas' 3 day gross of $30.8mil gross! That is why the first weekend of a films release is so important!

++++update alert++++

...GettyImages now has "59" photos of kidman hawking her little baby for the sake of her dismal movie....up from todays earlier "49"...the "stroll" was even "bigger ass" longer than previously imagined...

http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?EventId=83882596

..stay tuned for the final tally for the Madrid "Baby helps promo film flop" PR parade"...from what I've noticed early on, kidman hack GG so far only has 7 pics...but its still early, another Madrid site seeing tour may be forthcoming yet.

HA! Desperate for attention...much?

"We can see right through you, Nicole! Ms Kidman leaves little to the imagination as she fronts up in Spain"

kidman makes it sooooo easy....

Maclen -
there was a study done once where it was found that women who are insecure in their sexuality or have a partner who strays often wear clothing that is revealing ...
just saying

notachance said...

Well Tara, if that's true, then as a society we've got a problem!

Well, as far as I'm concerned Tara, it's a given that she is a very self absorbed...self centered...overly dramatic and overly indulgant, self consciously and publically embarrassing "showy" attention starved celeb...and she keeps confirming in my eyes that pretty low opinion I have of her, by in one case, she shamelessly exploits the honorary postition of UN ambassasdor given to her for the rare opportunity to be a "high Profile" postive example for a worthy cause...by cynically and selfishly sullying that appointment by basically reducing it all to just another "public appearence" penciled in fluidly right after appearences on the letterman show and Regis and kelly (lee) talk shows, to shill for her films...and in another case, when in an obvious and blatent about face...in the realization of another flop on her hands, she can instantly whip out her until then very rarely seen months old "celeb baby" for a two country, public parade of an absolute glut of papparatzi photos zooming across the world...

Choice said...

Lainey's not behind the film either. She also suggests that Nic might be laying off the Botox a bit. Can't quite see it myself.

Cheers
