Keith was only there as her paid escort. He was bored beyond tears and kept drinking the night away. Of course she wasn't amuse. She may have moved the glass from the table but he was drinking everywhere else.

They made general comments and weren't there as a fan or anything of Kidman's - just in attendance and made general observations. Didn't they say something like Keith spent most of the night alone while Kidman worked the room? The only interaction between the couple that took place was when everyone took their places at the tables. Keith appeared to be drinking lots of wine that night, and Kidman moved his glass of wine away from him at the table.blue skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506971501208185214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-2218313985936184822010-09-30T21:18:28.733-04:002010-09-30T21:18:28.733-04:00LindaMarie, you don't have to convince anyone ...LindaMarie, you don't have to convince anyone of anything.

Sources say that in addition to international fame and fortune, crossing over to rock music, winning over Australia, at the end of one year he was to receive a large sum on money (rumored to be $30 million), and a Sydney penthouse - which NK purchased six days before the wedding. Some also say a jet plane was part of the deal as well. NK is said to be full of promises that she never keeps so who knows what else she offered to sweeten the deal. But it was said that she was determined that Keith wouldn't get away the way Lenny Kravitz did. Which is why a binding contract was so necessary.<br /><br />The original wedding date was March 11, 2006. His encounter with the porn stars occurred towards the end of March.<br /><br />Tara, NK's dress designer said she ordered her wedding dress in November 05'.

They first ran in In Touch- but they weren't going anywhere so poof merry Christmas Mr Urban in the Daily Mail we get to read about your bedroom habits. Guess who owns the Daily Mail?<br /><br />Do you think Keith remembers anything about his wedding day? I kinda doubt it.<br /><br />There are rumors that she ordered her wedding dress in August of 2005 and purchased her rock in late September. Do you think Keith urban shelled out $150.000 for a ring? <br /><br />October is significant good catch on that.<br /><br />My own opinion- Kidman was not going to leave. She would look too stupid considering everyone knew about Keith- I think she showed him what power she had by those articles and she could ruin him and I think they made another deal and this one included a child and a time line.<br /><br />and don't forget the puppet master in all of this.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876191532149224666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-26076427735383927262010-09-30T13:55:24.957-04:002010-09-30T13:55:24.957-04:00Wait a minute...wasn't March when he partied w...Wait a minute...wasn't March when he partied with The Porn Queen? I thought that's what scuttled the original wedding date.<br /><br /><br />"She has something hanging over his head and the contract was too good to be true." This I'm not following. The contract sounds all one-sided on Nic's behalf.<br /><br />I'm having a hard time thinking that Ansel and Gary allowed the contract to be agreed upon. Unless she's given him access to all her finances and people, she holds all the cards. The contract held out the *possibility* of increased fame/fortune/conquering Oz. It was *definite* that she had his financial cojones in a sling. It's an unfair contract. <br /><br />Keith is a cautious man when it comes to money. I cannot see why he would agree to definitely give up his wealth for the chance, the possibility, of increased exposure.<br /><br />Since it obviously hasn't worked. His standing in Australia has increased only marginally.A440https://www.blogger.com/profile/14181814393564101585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-55070448411473856692010-09-30T13:28:51.658-04:002010-09-30T13:28:51.658-04:00Mikki:

He returned to Nashville that night. The next day she went public with the announcement that they were engaged. He was stunned because he thought he ended it.<br /><br />Another source said that it was Tom who nixed the March wedding refusing to let NK have the kids so close to Katie's due date. NK was livid but rescheduled the wedding.<br /><br />And yet another source has said that Keith put up all his assets (music catalogue, home, etc) when he signed that contract and that is what she had hanging over his head. <br /><br />And finally, some say that the original contact was only one year ending in 06' (marriage included). They say it was NK who exposed him in the media for his drinking and drugs to break the contract before it expired. Then she had control of his possessions and he would do whatever she wanted to gain them back.

The March date was postponed because he didn't want to get married right away (he was figuring he would do something bad and she would leave - you know his normal routine). He was caught red handed with other women the January before. He thought it was over and had actually asked for space. She had other plans. She has something hanging over his head and the contract was too good to be true. He used that clause about using drugs and/or drink to get out of his marriage when he drank himself into a stupor that October (see that October thing again). She had other plans. And none of it had to do with her love for him.LindaMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874363769364729023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-41218600832094895572010-09-30T08:55:44.883-04:002010-09-30T08:55:44.883-04:00Tara

Sources say he freaked at that one and went riding in the hills for a few days. However the promise of fame and fortune and conquering Australia must have lured him in. And who could forget how horrible and depressed looking he was a mere three months after their fairytale wedding? It was just a matter of time before I knew he was headed in big trouble. You could see it in his eyes. My take on that situation. He wanted out of the marriage. You know him, do something so bad and so wrong that the woman would leave, but she knew his game very well, she said no and he spiraled. October is a significant time for this "marriage". Do you think becoming engaged for his birthday, conceiving around his birthday and buying him big enormous presents for his birthday is all for love?LindaMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874363769364729023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-16709860120407311292010-09-30T06:42:47.458-04:002010-09-30T06:42:47.458-04:00That's always confused me.

I think ...Linda Marie- you know of what you speak!<br /><br />I think Keith is the man his father always wanted to be. I also have to give Bob some appreciation because he doesn't want to be part of the hoopla that is his sons personal life. He left that one Christmas and I respect him for that. We rarely see him in a photo op. They do still visit- they were at all for the hall last year sitting in the audience. They were also at his show in Buffalo a year ago. They stay out of the spotlight.<br /><br />I know its early but Keith is not listed as a performer for the CMAs in November. Also noticed he didn't sing the new single last night.<br /> And when will he be invited to join the Opry?<br /><br />PR PR PR thats what this marriage is all about. Remember he was recording the Pain CD when she announced they were engaged and he went missing for a few days.

Yeah..."HOOKED"...like a flopping bass on the line! Well, orb WAS able to gouge this weak willed monkey out of a no doubt hard earned 300 bucks! Now, imagine the countless OTHER monkeys who were also unable to get tickets by virtue of being monkey members who may NOT be posting ever again at the fansie site...or the countless people who paid for a new membership at the fansie site simply to get tickets to the show...only to not be fortunate enough to get any, or end up with seats sooo far away from the stage they may as well be in the next county! I doubt if many who had that problem...and based on the numbers revealed in that investigative article I posted...I'd say it was "substantial" enough to leave a recognizable bad taste to any potential permanent members or fansie. Oh sure, orb may have gotten the money off of new memberships with promises of guaranteed tickets to the show...that clearly was not the case based on the example of "hookedonkurban"...and the money gouged by the monkey-scalpers "reselling tickets"...unabashedly on the fansie site with no shame whatsoever....as I mentioned, orb may get the money now...but he clearly loses more in the more important results of being at the bottom of cd sales due to a more and more "unsatisfied and unfaithful" fanbase. His decision to "Donate all money collected by new memberships to his site to the HALL" this year clearly indicates this is a very noticable sore point that needed to be addressed. And the fact that his videos at his youtube channel are the <b>LEAST</b> viewed amoung the current elite country acts also is an indication that he isnt cultivating a very "faithful" fanbase! So, the above mentioned monkey says he/she "heard" that tickets are NOW available at ticketmaster...and "you can even call the box office"...well, what I would say to that is...if there are <b>STILL</b> tickets left...with just a week to go...and if it's the case that the show is apparently <b>NOT</b> sold out yet...I'd say it doesnt bode well this year, as it apparently DID last year...for the "BENEFIT for orb!" This year orb lost alot of the elite names for the show...swifty, paisley et al... which I clearly blame on orb's complete shameless shilling and opportunism of self promotion and the ticket fansie gouging scam... now it seems the tickets to this years show are NOT going like hotcakes!maclenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955283353584596594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-61977694483888196102010-09-28T19:18:26.131-04:002010-09-28T19:18:26.131-04:00A440 said...

(Told you my memory was dodgy sometimes...)"<br /><br />Well I know what you mean, A440...if it wasnt for wikipedia and the gettyimages photo search I couldnt have recalled that either! In fact after I posted that correction, I even wondered if it WAS '05 or '06 when they first met. What I recall on the whole "first reported" sighting which again was that blurb in People magazine of them out riding motorcyles in july of '05 was that it was VERY "coincidental" and "timing" suspect that it came relatively immediately after the whole "tomkat" episode. Recall, ex-cruise and katie holmes first hooked up in April '05...in june of '05 ex-cruise announced he had proposed to holmes...then only a month later in july of '05 mutt and jeff are first reported sighted together by People mag. It is this suspect timing that BOTH ex-cruise and mutt would meet their eventual spouses within only a few months of each other...basically points to mutt simply trying to "keep up with the jones'"...or in this case..keep up with the ex-cruise's. And also added to that "keeping up" with the cruises' it was not at all surprising...when tomkat announced that they were expecting a baby...mutt and jeff would at some point...have their own baby. Further indications that it was simply a PR marriage for mutt is what mikki mentions earlier in this tread...the "revisionism" of the already stated history...for instance, early on mutts story on the first meeting and their eventual hooking up...was that "she gave him her phone number but he never called! And the later "romanticized version" that it was "love at first sight".maclenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955283353584596594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-3377072819284325922010-09-28T17:23:04.589-04:002010-09-28T17:23:04.589-04:00mikki:

I always felt there was something going on between Keith and his father. Can't put my finger on it but Bob was tough on Keith. I think Keith felt he wouldn't amount to much so to have the trophy wife along with his other worldly possessions would impress his father big time.
