Another Paparazzo Beating by Keith?

We are all well aware of the pap beating by Kidman's bodyguards in L.A. when she was "pregnant" with Sunday. That incident was actually caught on tape. And we were able to see it online for a short time. Why were no charges filed? Did she dismiss the bodyguards because of it, or did they quit? How much money changed hands? So many questions.

Then a story came out in August that Keith verbally attacked a pap and kicked and pounded on his car in Nashville as Kidman & Urban were leaving a restaurant in July. Supposedly Keith was going to be questioned, but apparently no charges were filed. Again. Did the Urbans shell out more money to keep him quiet?

Yesterday, a story appeared on a website that Keith physically attacked a pap in L.A. on New Year's Eve, again leaving a restaurant with Kidman. This pap was supposedly treated in a hospital. Will charges be filed? They should be, if this story is true. Or, will the almighty dollar once again buy silence?

In the two most recent incidents we have not seen the photos that were supposedly being taken of the couple. Why does Keith lose his temper with the paps sometimes, and at other times smiles and waves at them?  Let's discuss.

New Year's Blind Item Reveals from Crazy Days & Nights

How would you like to be married to someone for a few years and have sex only a handful of times. Well, that is exactly the type of marriage a former A list movie actress and Academy Award winner/nominee has with her celebrity husband. They do always seem a little strained. Maybe a quickie would help.

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban


When I tell you later about this couple having sex, your jaw will hit the floor. You just would not expect it in a million years. This happened in the very late 80's and very early 90's. This permanent A list actor who has not really done anything lately to continue to merit that status was dating three actresses at the same time. One actress became his wife. One was someone who would help him with his kinks, and our actor has a lot of them. The other was an actress who was just starting out at the time, but is now pretty close to A list and once actually was. Much like Hugh Hefner, our actor would rotate the three throughout the week, and often throughout the same 24 hours. Apparently he really liked the newcomer, but she thought he was way too old for her. So, she moved on and probably regrets who she moved on to almost everyday.

#1 - Warren Beatty
#2 - Annette Bening
#3 - Madonna
#4 - Nicole Kidman


Just had to add a few pics... haha!
