"In terms of your life, if you start to exploit it, then what’s real and what’s not? What’s yours and what isn’t?" - Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman is one of those celebrities that is great at talking the talk. Everything she says sounds good. The problem is that Nicole Kidman is not simply an actress on-camera. Her off-camera persona seems to be scripted as well and over time, there have been many, many inconsistencies and contradictions in her philosophies...and, at times, outright lies. Leading some of us to wonder if Nicole Kidman is a real person, or a character we are supposed to buy into much like the ones she portrays in her films. Because, when a person says one thing, does another, and says something else, one cannot help but wonder.
"I'm not a big fan of the plastic surgery stuff, where it's like, `What is that?' I find that slightly macabre."

"I don't like parties. I don't like all the noise and people coming at you."
"People tell me that I could be earning so much more money, and I could be doing so many more big movies, but I'm not interested in that kind of a career. I don't care about being on top. I don't care about getting the best table in restaurants or being invited to all the premieres."
This must be why she dines at those out-of-the-way places like Mr. Chows & The Polo Lounge where the paps don’t frequent. And all those "private" events in Hollywood such as the Oscars, the Grammys, the CAA parties (a mere three days after her husband got out of rehab no less), and, oh...didn’t you decline a private ceremony for that Australian honor you just received (a year after the fact)?
**********************************************************
"Whether I gave a birth to a child or not, is not even an element that exists now. If more are added to the family, more will be, but that is a very personal thing. It isn't anybody else's business"
Hmmm...really? Because you seem to discuss it a lot when asked. And, could you make up your mind, because we’re getting confused...which is it?:
"I'd sit around and say. I want to adopt a child, but I never want a baby in my tummy."
"I’d love to give birth to a baby. I’d really love to."
"I'm not pregnant but I would love to be. That's the kind of thing I hope happens at some stage before I get old."
"I'd love to have a baby. It's always good to have a baby in the house."
Russell Crowe: "Will you carry a baby?" Nicole Kidman: "Yes, I hope so."
*********************************************************
The 'Stepford Wives' actress demanded the 60 watt bulbs were swapped for less powerful 40-watt ones, during her stay at the swanky Dorchester hotel, in London, England. Nicole Kidman outraged hotel staff by demanding all the light bulbs in her suite were changed.
"Look, it’s not being a diva at all! I am having a magazine shoot here and we all know that stark light can make you look drained. I am white-skinned enough. It’s not a diva moment, honest. It was in fact the magazine that requested them and not me."
Nice try Nicole. But we know that camera crews bring their own lighting equipment. We also know that when they take pictures or do interviews in hotel suites, they use ONE of the rooms. So, tell me, why did ALL the light bulbs in ALL the rooms of your suite have to be changed?
**********************************************************
"I don’t mind signing a few autographs or taking a picture."
From a blogger who bumped into Nicole & Keith at Starbucks in Nashville: This guy starts to make small talk to Keith, tells him he enjoys his music. Keith is talking back to him, says he was very nice. Next thing you know, this guy feels hands firmly grasping his shoulders and he is being physically turned around. It was Nikkers! She then announces to him "We are NOT signing autographs this morning!" He then heard Nicole say something along the lines of "don't encourage them to speak to us."
And remember the footage of the movie outing with her bodyguard?: "Go away, you’re scaring me."
***********************************************************
"I'm quiet and private. I'm incredibly careful, and I have to be."
"I like to keep my life quiet and simple."
"Now I don’t tell anybody where I go or what I do, because it just gets publicized"
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have confirmed media reports they have returned home to Australia to marry. "We are very happy to be back in Australia. We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends."
Geez, and I almost bought it! I guess this is more accurate:
"I am someone who likes to put her cards on the table. I like to be able to talk to people about who I am, what I am, what I experience. I like to be very open and free about all parts of my life."
******************************************************
"I have moved to Nashville for my private life."
"I love it here (Nash). Things are very nice for me here."
Yes, Nicole loves it in Nashville. No more Hollywood high life for her. She’s now a down-home country gal who cannot wait to purchase a farm and a goat in her new found quaint little home - where her private life is. So why hasn’t she been there since October of 2006? Interestingly enough, almost immediately after the newlyweds arrived back in Nashville from the "low-key trip to Australia" and their private honeymoon, she was soon jaunting off overseas for other commitments. Those commitments, by the way, she was supposed to be giving up if she ever found her true love again. Since then, it appears her private life has been back in LA with the exception of one - count it - one trip to attend a hockey game in April. And now it’s off to Australia to film her epic for 6-8 months.
*********************************************************
But I digress, there was that nasty little report from the porn star who claimed to boink her husband during their engagement. And then, less than four months into the marriage, Keith ended up in rehab. And stayed there for three months. During which time, another little nasty report from Amanda Wyatt caused quite a stir. But through it all, Nicole was a trooper. Determined to "stand by her man" she did not dump him, did not serve him well-deserved divorce papers. She vowed she would support him through this and they would put it behind them. And support him she did. Immediately following Keith’s entry into the Betty Ford Center, Nicole was seen all over LA out drinking with friends, attending movies with her bodyguard, attending yoga classes. No, not seeing her children, BUT, she did visit Keith three times. Three times in three months. Wow. Why she even cancelled some of her commitments for Fur to support her new husband:
October 2006 - Kidman Cancels Publicity Appearances To Support Husband
Or did she?
September 2006 - "We were trying to move my shooting schedule around so I could be in New York in time. However, I have to shoot that day (in London) and it proved to be impossible for production to make it happen," she says in a statement.
*********************************************************
And who could forget that fancy UN title she took on in January 2006. SHE telephoned the UN & asked what she could do. Yes, SHE wanted it. And what has she done with the fancy title? Well, when she took on the role of the UN Ambassador, there was plenty planned but since January 2006, despite all of the talked about trips to countries all over the world, Nicole has done two - count ‘em, two things for the UN. The now infamous "bongo party" in April, and her trip to Kosovo in October.
*************************************************
And what about that horrific car accident while doing re-shoots for The Invasion? Whew, she was lucky to be alive! Not a single media outlet missed out on that publicity. Not only were we treated to video footage, we also found out, thank goodness, that Nicole was fine. Despite her reluctance to go to the hospital, she did...she had to...and was released two hours later with a clean bill of health. Not only was she fine, but again, a real trooper. She was back to work in no time, even photographed jogging with her trainer just a mere few days after the accident. Imagine the shock when, during a sound check (that was not supposed to be heard) for a satellite broadcast in which Nicole was speaking for a UN gig, that she was overheard saying that she had actually suffered broken ribs, I mean, well, they think, they weren’t sure, maybe broken, maybe fractured? But anyway, that’s why no visits to Keith for Valentine’s Day in Canada or being able to be in NY for this particular UN gig. Because she couldn’t possibly fly with broken or fractured ribs. Now, call me crazy, but, even though you can suffer injuries that may go unnoticed after an accident like that, wouldn’t you think eventually you would start feeling some kind of pain or discomfort within days and head right back to the doctor?...because, of course, any doctor worth his medical license would tell someone this is a distinct possibility. So again, I am confused. Tell me Nicole, how is it you went for a month without knowing something was wrong with your ribs?
********************************************************
"I said there is less attention. I didn't say there is no attention. But I refuse to get into a state of exclusiveness. I take the children to movies and out to dinners. I try to give them as normal a life as possible."
Huh? But I thought she was fiercely protective of her children and went to great lengths to keep them out of the public eye? Isn’t that why we haven’t seen many pictures of her spending time with them?
**********************************************************
"I try to live as an example to my kids, which is why I’m pretty traditional."
Yes, smoking, drinking, partying, going out to strip clubs, films such as Eyes Wide Shut, Birth, Fur, all of which Nicole appears naked and having sex. Those are great "traditional" examples you are setting for your children.
***********************************************************
Oh, and speaking of the children:
"I'm going to take care of them and myself. I'd give up anything for them."
Kidman Turns Down Part For Her Kids - "I can’t do a film at this stage in my life. My priority was to spend time with my family - my children - and I just wasn’t in a position to work."
"The children are my priority. I take them around with me - movies or baseball games - and that's no so appealing for any new man on the scene, is it? I know what my true love is, because I have my children."
Nicole Kidman is taking a lengthy break from Hollywood to spend time with her children. Kidman says, "You won't see me for a long time. It could be a year, it could be two. I'm not going to give you my holiday schedule, but there'll be a few. It'll be a while before I come back."
"I'm at a time of my life now where ... for me to want to go back and work, it'd have to be something that I really feel passionately about."
Funny. No sooner did she say this than her film credits started racking up at light speed: Fur, Happy Feet, Margot at the Wedding, The Invasion, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, Australia, and Need (2008). Could this be the reason?:
January 2003 - Kidman: Successful Because She’s Single - "I spent 11 years of my life dedicated to something else, really. I was dedicated to my relationship rather than to work. It wasn't even a choice, it was just what it was - that was where my passion was. And now I've come out of that. There's so much in me that I want to say, that I feel, that I have existing inside me, and it's coming out. And there's a way in which I go, well, I don't have anything else in my life...I have my children, but I don't have a relationship. I have this at the moment."
It must be. Because THIS is what she really meant, I’m sure:
Kidman Offers To End Her Career For The Right Man - Nicole Kidman is desperate to find a new lover, but she insists the end of her search will lead to the end of her movie career. The Australian actress fears there won't be enough space in her heart to love both the man of her dreams and her career, so one will have to be sacrificed. "My life doesn't leave me with a lot to give to somebody else. I always said that if I fall deeply in love again I will not be able to continue in this way.""That's why I would need someone to sweep me off my feet - because I probably wouldn't make a choice to give up what I'm doing otherwise."
"I probably won't do this for the rest of my life - there's other things that interest me. I think probably when I fall in love, that's when I'll stop doing as much of this because I'll want to settle down again." Kidman, 35, insists there will be no sudden announcement when she decides to quit - instead she plans to "slowly dwindle away." She adds, "This life is burn-out life in a way. You give so much of yourself and you've got to step away from it at some stage. You can't do it forever and ever."
Would she truly trade her success for lasting love? 'Yes,' she answers without hesitating. 'But I don't see it as trading. I see it as a different stage of life.'
Well, I guess she isn’t planning on settling down. I guess she hasn’t fallen deeply in love yet despite the fact that she got married to Keith in June 2006. And her career is still going strong. Again: Fur, Happy Feet, Margot at the Wedding, The Invasion, His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, Australia, and has since signed on to shoot Need (2008).
But it doesn’t end here folks. Stay tuned because Nicole’s biggest lie yet is on it’s way.

Great job.
That woman is so full of shit!
But I disagree with this.. And her career is still going strong...
Just cos you have alot of bad movies doesn't mean you have a stong career.
Can't wait to see what the biggest lie is.
Way to go!! Love it.
"Would she truly trade her success for lasting love? 'Yes,' she answers without hesitating."
That line says it all! But she wasn't "caught" lying here..... She obviously has yet to find that "lasting love". I mean, having a contract on the table to marry a strapping hot country singer, hardly qualifies as "lasting love", non?
i hope her peeps are reading this. ok back to my cheetohs and big red soda! yeeehaww!
Awesome Job!
The psychobabble that flows out of her mouth is amazing. None of it makes any sense. She can't remember what she says from interview to interview. I guess that's what happens when you don't have a script to read from.
One of her paid friends should tell her not to ad lib.
this should get PM'd to the head honcho over at NKU. The truth hurts. This woman is a walking contradiction. There's been a lot of stuff said on this board that I don't agree with, but I agree with this.
Oh, you may want to add Rabbit Hole to the list of upcoming projects. and some spy movie that is still being written by the guy who is writing the new Hardy Men movie. And the best of all, it looks like dear Nicole & her "friend" Daniel Craig are looking for a project to work on together. Keith may want to make sure his schedule is clear for that shoot. Especially considering Nicoles reputation for falling for her leading men and Daniel's reputation chasing anything is a skirt.
Great job! But I'd like to add it was incredible that she was photographed splashing around in the ocean in a wet suit with those broken ribs. I guess when you're one of the Chosen Ones, you heal faster than the rest of us.
Great job - what a liar that woman is!!
Oooh, the biggest lie yet - can't wait to see what you folks will have for that!
Other than that, great work. Maybe you should get a job at a tabloid.
She's a hypocrite, Nicole Kidman is.
The biggest lie of all is this marriage to Urban.
What about all the lies that come out of Keith's mouth? I don't like Nicole anymore then you do, but she is not in this fiasco of a marriage by herself. It takes two to fuck up a marriage as bad as this one!! I think they are both full of shit!!!
"It takes two to fuck up a marriage as bad as this one!! I think they are both full of shit!!!"
Amen!!
Great job!
Great job!!!!
I guess Nicole has to go in on a daily basis to have her nose worked on. Otherwise it would reach from America to Australia, and back.
Nicole's selfishness seems to beable to screw up this marriage pretty well all by itself. All I've seen Keith do is bend over backwards following her around and changing HIS schedule to work with HERS. She's pretty good at ruining relationships all on her own.
No one is forcing Keith do bend over backwards or follow her anywhere. If he is rearranging his schedule to accommodate hers, its because he wants to!! Yes, Nicole is selfish but so is Keith. Look how the American fans are practically being ignored. He could tour here first but he chooses to follow her instead. Whatever the reasons may be, Keith is doing exactly what Keith wants to do.
BRAVO!!!! to the blogger..
but keith kidman can't blame anyone but himself for what's happening to him..NO ONE can take over your life and career..unless you let them...HE's allowed HIMSELF to be castrated.
Wow, someone certainly did their homework. As I don't exactly have the kind of time to recant what Nicole has said in the past, I have to give you credit for researching the quotes and stating fact - not heresay! BRAVO!!!
I've always thought that no one really knows who Nicole Kidman is away from the screen. She seems as lifeless and boring off it...much like she does on it, if you ask me. I don't particularly care for her as an actress, but I only hope she's a different person when she's alone with Keith without the photo ops and media lurking about. I'd hate to think Keith would actually go for someone who's shallow and has no depth as she appears to be.
Oh bull, the American fans aren't being ignored. He was supposed to start his tour in the States but obviously rehab switched things around. He's doing 9-10 dates in Europe and 6 in Australia then coming to the states and Canada. I'm so fed up with fans who always want their ass' kissed. Yes, Keith is changing his schedule because he wants to, but he has said in the past that when he had a family, he would be changing the way he does things. That's exactly what he's doing, so he's holding up to what he said he would do. You certainly can't say that about Nicole. And the really sad thing is, I believe he truly does love her and got strung along by her. I was impressed by how much time she spent in Nasvhille leading up the wedding. But after that, she was off like a shot. Once she got that ring on her finger and beat her Ex to the alter. I think that was all she cared about.
I think too much energy is wasted on these blogs about this marriage. Keith has chosen who he wants to spend his life with. Accept it and move on. Nothing that is said here will make one bit of difference. And how I wish Keith would kiss my ass!! If only I had that kind of power!!!!
well seeing that you think "to much time is wasted on these blogs" WHY ARE YOU HERE??????
GO BACK TO 'DAYDREAMING' keith is kissing your ass on the monkey boards!!!
She is an insecure and shallow woman, who seems to have a huge fear of growing old and of losing her 'edge' in Hollyweird. She says the things she thinks will portray her image in the most positive light...and sometimes she forgets that she may have said something else prior.
I feel sorry for Keith at times, because I think he got sucked into this relationship and is still chasing her around like a puppy and catering to her because of who she is. I also think he's paying a price for his pre-marital (and maybe intramarital) indiscretions. NK is by all accounts a demanding and needy person and it looks like he is bending over backward to try to make the relationship work. I'd love to see any proof at all that she cares for him and is willing to make sacrifices for him. It hasn't happened yet and it isn't likely to happen.
Why are you so quick to jump to the conclusion that if I don't agree with your blogs that I am member of a "monkey board"? You talk about the bunnies getting upset over your skeptic blogs but you are just as bad when someone disagrees with you!! Maybe it was never about the music as Keith has stated many times. He may have only wanted fame all along and now he has it and doesn't need bunnies or skeptics. Nicole can give him all he the fame he needs or wants--good or bad! There is more than one famewhore in that marriage!
"There is more than one famewhore in that marriage!"
Yes, there is
What really is the reason for this blog and who is behind it? Obviously, from the recent posts on this blog whoever is spewing out material seems to have some kind of motive. Don't get me wrong, whoever you are...you've done your homework and seem to have some type of writing skills. Maybe you're even an employee of the tabloids you so eloquently refer to in most of your blogs, but getting back to my point...I can't help but feel whoever you are, you seriously have some hatred for Nicole - and I mean personally, not as a typical person who just happens to dislike her because she can't act (how I feel) My dislike for the woman has nothing to do with the fact she's married to Keith. She's really never been a blip on my screen until she married him.
I just seem to think this blog was created as a campaign to rid the world of her and her relationship with Keith. Why are you so adamant about trying to make others see your point of view? I'm not saying you don't have some really valid points - you've obviously spent a great deal of time and energy researching the discrepancies she's stated and correlated timelines back before Keith was even in the picture. But why would someone spend that amount of effort on someone who isn't personal to you. My only conclusion is that you're taking their relationship too personally and that's really quite frightening.
"My only conclusion is that you're taking their relationship too personally and that's really quite frightening."

Ah, the basis of the skeptic's (aka Nicole bashing society) existence. I believe they've read far to deep into Keith's life, and Nicole's for that matter, and it's become far to important for them to justify their existence by these blog/rants that are filled with hatred.
I've said it before, skeptic means you're unsure of something - but what these gals are doing is no longer from a skeptical point of view, they've made their decision and it's a hateful one. Sad really.....
Making assumptions gets people into trouble. Don't assume that these blogs are written entirely by women...
Don't assume that these are motivated by hate for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Far from it.
Skeptics are unsure because its STILL very apparent there is a reason to be unsure. You can't fault the research done. Kidman has a history of creating myths using her own words.
Urban Myths - doesn't sound like the blogs are too far off from the title of the site... You know what I bet is really pissing you off??
You can't dispute it and you know you have been had.
As for Cheetos, I prefer the puff kind but I have a masters degree, have worked as a journalist and make a fairly good living in real life.

"Don't assume that these are motivated by hate for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Far from it.

Not faulting the research. I'm actually astounded someone would go that far just to post it on a blog and no one is assuming whether this writer is male or female. Not even disputing what you wrote - I agree with 90% of it...she lies, and manipulates the media to her own liking. Just stating MY OPINION this writer is taking Nicole's lies, manipulation and relationship with Keith way too personally, instead of just discussing the topic at hand. It doesn't seem skeptical, but maniacal.
It doesn't matter if every word that comes out of Nicole's mouth is a lie. Keith married her and will stay until who knows when--maybe forever. You are not going to influence him one bit. No one is reading this and calling Keith to let him know about time lines pertaining to the garbage that comes out of her mouth. He lives with the woman. He knows who is married to but chooses to stay for whatever reasons. I would also bet every bag of Cheeto's I have ever eaten that these blogs are written entirely by women. Also, if your hatred of Nicole is not your motivation for these blogs, what is your motivation?
Did you know Cheetos is one of the leading snacks high in Trans Fats!!
Just sayin'
Well ladies & GENTS, the first reviews from Germany are in. The marriage has not ruined his concert appeal apparently. For those of you skeptics who said that they wouldn't spend another dime on a KU concert until he came to his senses, you may very well be missing out on some great shows in the coming months.
Oh, and sorry to disappoint you but he apparently dedicates "Got It Right This Time" to the wifey-pooh. Will y'all leave during that portion of the show if you do attend?
"Skeptics are unsure because its STILL very apparent there is a reason to be unsure. You can't fault the research done. Kidman has a history of creating myths using her own words." "
---------------
There is absolutely nothing unsure in the skeptical writings. The writer's, whoever they are (Friends of Skeptics), are very clear about their feelings and intent.
I don't fault the writer's research, it's obviously well done. However, it's so well done that I must ask why so much effort has been put into something of this nature? Hasn't it all been said before? Why does every blog have to be basically the same thing? Your argument about Nicole has been made, I don't understand why there have to be continued blogs arguing the same point. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is "methinks you doth protest too much".
I would like to see you post a blog from someone with a divergent opinion, or possibly a topic NOT related to NK, but I don't think that's possible since you are a closed society and do not welcome a challenge to your mantra.
Why does he bother dedicating a song to her? We all know he is married to her or maybe the folks in Germany forgot. He doesn't need to do it or does he? Sorry, dear hare, but I am going to go to the shows and plan on enjoying them. I like the music in spite of the sideshow. This is a blog about Keith Urban. All we have had since last year is Keith Urban's private life. He even linked the music to it. It would be nice for him to shut the hell up about his personal life. He can...he has in the past, but we have it shoved down our throats all the time. Not hatred as much as fatigue and a desire to educate those new fans out there so they don't buy the crap that so many of us fell under.
We are here. We are clear. Get used to us or go to a worship blog.
Hello Bitter Bunnies. I see that you apparently hate this place but can't get enough of it. Why is that? You come on here and ignore the facts and just start in with your rediculous rehashed comments.
Remember the days when it was ONLY about the music? When Keith would get up on stage and give his fans (if he remembers what those are) 110%? Those days are long gone. Now he squeezes his "wife's" name in whenever possible which is nauseating. I liked the days when I didn't know diddly squat about his personal life. I enjoyed going to the shows with my friends and having a good time. I haven't had a Keith experience like that in over 2 years!
So yeah if we bitch and complain we have every right to. We pay our hard earned money just like the rest of ya and if we have a crappy experience of course we're going to be pissed about it. The man has changed, there's no denying that and not for the better. She is bringing him down. I think Keith is going to have a rude awakening once he hits his US tour.
So all of you bunnies can think that the man is perfect and does no wrong but what's it going to take for you to open up your eyes? How many bad or so-so concert experiences is it going to take for you to snap out of the trance your in? Also how much diva attitude are you willing to put up with? Who is THAT Keith Urban?
Oh, believe me - I DO NOT think the man is perfect. Far from it as a matter of fact.
And why can't he say his wife's name or thank her at a show? Many, many other performers newly married or in love do the same. He is trying to share something personal with his fans, maybe some personal truth.
Seems like the guy can't catch a break either way around here.
Well for starters he never says her name. It's always "my wife." I think I've heard him utter her name once or twice. Also maybe he should try to keep his personal life just that...personal. If I wanted to hear about his pasty bride I would join her stalker site. I definetly don't want to hear about her at a concert.
Well ladies & GENTS, the first reviews from Germany are in. The marriage has not ruined his concert appeal apparently.
I take it you see a 2000-seat venue in Germany - and a 3 million selling album (BE HERE) - as an equal exchange - that his career is as successful as it's always been.
You might be interested in some Ebay tickets for Keith shows in the US - the highest bid for those was $300.
"Hello Bitter Bunnies. I see that you apparently hate this place but can't get enough of it. Why is that? You come on here and ignore the facts and just start in with your rediculous rehashed comments.

Apparently, you aren't understanding the posts if you still think we are indeed bunnies. And who squeezing his wife's name whenever possible, eh? It's quite nauseating for see you write lenghty diatribes about your hatred for her. Keith has a right to boast about his marriage and love of Nicole - he's a newlywed and has been through a life-altering rehab this year. He's happy - let it go and start blogging out his music, if that's indeed what you want to hear. I certainly do. I know you skeptics are intelligent and have some really good insights, but it's getting old- we need some rehab here on this blog I think.
"I know you skeptics are intelligent and have some really good insights, but it's getting old- we need some rehab here on this blog I think."
Great post!! I have to agree with this. Stop being so determined to spread the HATEFULNESS of NICOLE. We get it -- you think she's EVIL. No need to be a broken record.
"Stop being so determined to spread the HATEFULNESS of NICOLE. We get it -- you think she's EVIL. No need to be a broken record. "
Amen to that!!
I don't like her either, but I don't have a need to run it in the ground!!
Well if you don't like what's being said here why do continue to come here, read and then comment about how bad it is? It makes no sense. If you want to talk about how great things are there are other places for that.
Here's an idea.
Instead of attacking the blog and the writers thereof personally about WHY they feel/think/write what they do ...
Any of you that disagree - reply with FACTS to dispute what's written or your own opinion about the TOPIC - or don't bother.
When you endlessly bitch about the motivations of the writers it's ignored and adds nothing to the dialogue.

EXACTLY!
FYI, tomorrow there will be an interlude in the Nicole's Lies posting... stay tuned for Keith's Doubletalk...
Dispute what facts? Nicole lies-we all knew this before your blog. Keith double-talks--we have known this for a while. He never gives much info during an interview and its always been that way. As for part 2 of this blog--bring it on. I just hope it's not as lame as the first part.
I agree that everyone is aware of her lies and Keiths double speak. I don't know why it has to be repeated here or everywhere. I mean what is the intention? It's like speaking to the choir. Apparantly Keith likes liars, so much so he attains to be just like her.
Keith is aware he's a fraud too, he doesn't need to read here or anywhere to find out.
If even us skeptics with differing opinions stopped replying here, as the bunnies..then no one would read your blogs past your group of friends. Then it has even less purpose.
You think your making points for him to read? He'd have to care what anyone besides the ice bitch thought..first, and I wouldn't hold my breath.
You say that you don't understand the purpose of the blogs. What exactly is your purpose for being here? You say that you aren't bunnies, yet you can't form a coherent response to any of the blogs except to trash the writers, the content and the readers.
If you and your cronies don't like what is written here, then why don't you all put your heads together and write something intelligent in response?
You can't stomach the bunnie boards and you can't gain access to the skeptics board, so all you can do is "try" to act as if you are superior in your beliefs.
Give it a rest. Your non-replies are exceedingly boring.

What exactly is there to reply to? The blog wasn't written as to elicit conversation. It was just wriiten as a bunch of "facts" thrown together.
I can be on any board and read. And I can coherent sentences together just fine.
Why is it when you are questioned, even by a skeptic, you only know how to be hostile? I thought the questions as to why and what purpose, where quite valid. Maybe it's YOU who can't answer coherently.
And yes I am a skeptic, it doesn't mean I have to think word for word as you do. I still have my own brain.
Again. Your non-replies are exceedingly boring.
*YAWN*
Really, pretty much EVERYONE that responds to the blog is a skeptic of a sort - some more maniacal than others, just like there are bunnies with more fur on .nut. And it's the truth that if those of us with the not so maniacal view didn't come here to challenge your motives then you and your cronies would find this quite boring, as I'm sure these very blogs are posted on your oh-so-private skeptic boards as well. What would be the point of doing both without outside stimulation??
You chose to have a blog so that you could preach to others without allowing them access to your private boards, so IMO you've asked for any & all responses/comments to your venom-filled blogs.
I, for one, would like a blog about one of his songs. Let's pick it apart, c'mon. Then maybe you can say you're about the music and not just a hate-filled, venom-spewing ugly human being.
"You can't stomach the bunnie boards and you can't gain access to the skeptics board, so all you can do is "try" to act as if you are superior in your beliefs."
Who says? I do have access to the skeptic board, but god forbid I should say something on it that deviates from what the admin or others post. I feel much safer here stating my opinions than being railroaded on the myth board. It used to be a place to feel free to state your opinion (as a skeptic), but lately it seems as if it's being run by HITLER and his NAZIS!!
It cracks me up how you so called "Extreme Skeptics" sit here and defend the writer, but never offer your own opinions about the topic at hand...just that you defend the writer. How many times does it take before you actually read that we don't dispute what the writer said, but that it's redundant in every blog that's posted. You created this blog for public opinion - we give it and you don't like it! What's the point of having the blog then?
I think you'll find that many of us belong to the skeptic board but come here to post our opinions because you can't do that freely on the board for fear of getting kicked off.
that is pretty low to call the people who run the myths board nazis! i'm on the board, and i don't see where everybody is free to express their opinion. the moderators on that board work really hard for you. there are varying degrees of skepticism, and the mods, i believe, recognize that. you should be ashamed. and if you feel this way, then you should leave.
as for Keith and his concerts, i would be willing to bet all the cheetohs in the world he won't mention the wife here in the US. that's what disappoints me so much about the man. when in rome, do as the romans do.
i have a ticket for a US show, if fact, i have purchased 2 hoping to get a great show, wife or no wife. i doubt i can even sell the one. look at the ebay tix. they're dirt cheap! doesn't that tell you something? the venues over here will be half full. no wonder he wants to perform in europe. at least he will be playing to a packed arena.
the man was on top of his game. i grieve for what was lost, no matter who or what made him lose it. and the worst part for me is he doesn't seem to care. i've seen the top performers in my day, and nobody could hold a candle to the man. and yes, i do want him to come back and be passionate about the music again. but is he or will he? that remains to be seen.
Didn't the term "The Skeptics" come about because of the relationship of Keith and Nicole? Skeptic boards were started because fans weren't able to speak honestly on the original fans boards.
The skeptics wanted places that they could go to and talk through everything that was going on. Many fans still supported Keith and his music but were disgusted with the public outings that were overshadowing the music and his performances.
Since then, many of those original supporters of the music have turned away from him because of what they perceive to be his flaunting of the relationship and his unflattering quest for fame.
Love him or hate him, there should be outlets for any and all thoughts relevant to that. The Skeptics board and blog should be about the skepticism of the relationship and to offer an outlet for discussion on that topic alone. What does ripping apart his songs without mention of being disgusted with him and his wife have to do with the theme of being skeptical? If people want to diss his music they can go to the Rope and find plenty of support there.
I think the thought being expressed here is that this is a forum for discussing Keith and his wife. Why get upset if people express their dislike of them? Instead of criticizing the writers and the theme, wouldn't it be more interesting if you don't agree with the topic, you write a rebuttal sticking with the theme of the blog? If you don't have anything to add to the blog, then pass on it and wait until you see one worthy of your input.
"The skeptics wanted places that they could go to and talk through everything that was going on."
*****************
Interesting..... because on the skeptic boards you are not allowed to express opinions if they happen to differ from a select few. If you don't take the word of so-called insiders as gospel they call you a bunny lover and Elmer Fudd comes out in full hunting gear. In my experience anytime someone challenged something, could not wrap their head around the "news", they were not encouraged to feel that that was ok, more like they were jumped on for not buying into it hook, line & sinker. Most usually relented and towed the party line.
What the skeptic boards were created for ironically turned into exactly what they ran from - places where you were NOT free to discuss whatever you wanted without fear of retribution.
Nazi mentality? You tell me. I seem to remember a certain avatar about sniffing out traitors....

"Many fans still supported Keith and his music but were disgusted with the public outings that were overshadowing the music and his performances"
*********
You say this, and I asked for a blog about the music and disecting, or pick apart, a song. Did I mean to infer that I was going to trash it? No, I want to have healthy discussions about the music, where it was, where it is, where do you think it's going and how may relate to his life. Like it or not, musicians write about what they know, and unfortunately this time Keith fell in love with someone most of us don't care for and it influenced this current album in a way we may not have wanted. We can discuss this without trashing her constantly. That bird is done cooked, let's move on.
********
wouldn't it be more interesting if you don't agree with the topic, you write a rebuttal sticking with the theme of the blog?
********
First, rebutting your facts is a non-issue. We don't rebut that, they are facts, but we do wonder why the blogger has spent so much of their life compiling this information.
Second, we challenge the constant negativity of it. Isn't that a rebuttal in itself?
Third, blogs are not written other than for the sole purpose of the writer spewing their own bullshit (gotta love the internet!). Most other blogs that I've read out there have comments left but most do not get into discussions amongst themselves as we do here. This is certainly more entertaining than generic comments being left.
as for the comment that he fell in love with the woman, well, i am laughing my head off. only thing he fell in love with was her money and lifestyle. one needs only to look at the pics of him together to figure that out. overkill, overkill
"as for the comment that he fell in love with the woman, well, i am laughing my head off. only thing he fell in love with was her money and lifestyle. one needs only to look at the pics of him together to figure that out. overkill, overkill"
++++++++++++
Is that a fact? Show me where I can find that in print.
To the person who left the comment at 10:48 a.m.--Bravo to you!!! If the skeptics just want to vent about KUNK, why not just post on the UM board? What is your agenda for this blog? Validation? Notoriety? The next Lainey?
"And I can coherent sentences together just fine".
LMFAO.....are you sure about that?

----------------------------------
Blogs are written for various reasons - it depends on the blogger and what he/she wants to write about. That is the point of a blog. Some are about someone's experiences, some are political, etc.
This particualr blog questions the sincerity of Keith & Nicole. Therefore, that is what the bloggers here do.
I would think anyone coming to this blog surely knows by now what they will read here.
If you don't like this side of the argument, move on to a different blog site that offers up the opinions & observations you want to read. It's really quite simple.
Agreed 12:34pm.
I don't understand why people feel the need to visit a blog constantly if they don't like the content...no one is forcing anyone to read it.
If I don't like a blog, I certainly don't post a diatribe about the blogges intentions, redundancy, or what's the point...I just stop reading it.
What a blogger posts on their blog is at their own discretion.
No one has to like it but to simply post nothing but complaints about it is just plain silly.
Talk about a waste of time.
All these blogs are written by members of the UM board. I guess 61 people is not a large enough audience for your bitch sessions about KUNK. Again, what do you hope to accomplish by writing these blogs? All this can be contained on the UM board, why are you venturing beyond that site?
Some of what the writer(s) on this blog say is pretty interesting and sometimes informing, this is the reason I came here in the first place or was encouraged to by those on the UM board, but like that board, it's becoming a place where you can't disagree for fear you'll be called a bunnie and kicked out of their inner circle. It's true, the very reason skeptic boards were popping up all over was because we weren't free to state our opinions or skepticism, but seriously... if you who are members of the UM board, like myself, take a look at how difficult it is to speak your mind. And I don't mean just agreeing with everything that the main posters or admin(Arms of Mary) is saying.
You're correct in stating that blogs are created for all kinds of reasons, but this particular blog has taken on a whole new meaning altogether and I find myself more interested in the comments than the actual blog itself - whatever opinion they have in their comments. That in and of itself is some good dirt!
Very interesting to see that quite a few members of the UM board are feeling free to speak their minds here.... if that doesn't tell you the true nature of the UM board, I don't know what does.
WOW! After reading all this stuff I can't help but think that some of you traitors will be the victims of the UM Witch Hunt. I'm sure AOM & crew will be in full sniffing gear to find who doesn't agree with the company platform.
"All these blogs are written by members of the UM board. I guess 61 people is not a large enough audience for your bitch sessions about KUNK. Again, what do you hope to accomplish by writing these blogs? All this can be contained on the UM board, why are you venturing beyond that site?"
And. Why. Are. You. Here. Reading? If you want a place to discuss Keith's music, DON'T come to a blog site that is titled, "Urban Myths" and then question the content.
You got kicked off of the board and you are just looking for a place to spew your bitterness. You pretty much admitted that you are here for entertainment purposes only and so you don't like any generic responses to the actual blog.
Instead, you turn it into a platform for your anger for getting shut out of the board. That's your sole purpose for being here?
Suggestion: Get a life. Get over it. Your Junior High mentality is really quite pathetic.
I believe you're getting confused on who said what.
I was the one that commented on the entertainment quality of the blog. Opinion - mine. Thought the headmistress would take that as somewhat of a compliment.
RE: the other poster that may have been kicked off your board - I don't think he/she is particularly pissed about being butted off the board, I think it's more that once again a challenge has been issued and you are saying "go home, we don't want you here". Why have a public blog if not for the commentary you receive? Or do you only want commentary that says "I agree, or BRAVO!, or Great Job!, or let me kiss your ass even more!"
Sorry to inform you but my membership is still current!!!
If you say Nazis are running a skeptic board why are you there? Of those 60 plus people how many post? How many simply come on read and either go to another board, go back to Camp Urban or Kidman with their findings or agree and simply don't wish to respond?
Are you personally attacked on that board? Do you know anyone who has been? There are three other skeptic boards that I know of...
Two you have to be invited and can be turned away if the members don't accept you - do you wonder why? Not because they are Nazis, but because a lot of what is said is from insiders and people in the know and some very important people would love to know where certain people disappeared to. It's not easy being a moderator. It's not easy standing up to the crap that is handed us about Keith Urban and his wife. But we do because we know its not real and the lies can't be tolerated.
Keep it on the music - I am sure if you want a music blog there is one waiting for you somewhere.
This is a blog about Kidman and Keith. When she is gone there will be no need for it anymore. Until then watch what we have to say because we have been shown to be correct before...
Interesting..i am a member of 3 different Skeptics Boards..all by "invite" only..not a one of them is called "Urbanmyths" and until today i didn't even know that one exsisted..and "I'm glad...sounds like a place to avoid at all costs..the boards i do belong to are like families..and we can speak our minds on all topics..I wouldn't be a part of a board where "nazism rules" which is why i left kufans....net..and lasted all of 2 seconds on NKU..when i was willing to give the benefit of a doubt that this PR marriage was for real..
as for this blog..i have to agree..everyone hear by now knows what it is going to be about..i don't understand what the big deal is..
"Two you have to be invited and can be turned away if the members don't accept you - do you wonder why? Not because they are Nazis, but because a lot of what is said is from insiders and people in the know and some very important people would love to know where certain people disappeared to. "

The first skeptic board was on Teena's site, where she allowed everyone to speak their minds until it got out of hand and actual legal terminology and threats of legal action came into it. There were a "select few" that formed the first skeptic board and made it a "closed" board so that no one could find them. That was the beginning of the secrecy and closed society mentality of the skeptics. Yeah, we all wanted in to that inner circle in a big way. But the boards would disappear in a huff for no apparent reason and then another would be formed and the rules to get in were getting tighter & tighter. The paranoia in passing the membership test was bizarre to say the least. If that's not a Nazi mentality, I don't know what is.
And btw - UM is filled with bunnies that hopped over from jinglejeans' old site. Yeah, I remember the names. They just don't speak that language on the UM board, they adopted their new leaders home language of Nicole AND Keith bashing.
"And btw - UM is filled with bunnies that hopped over from jinglejeans' old site. Yeah, I remember the names. They just don't speak that language on the UM board, they adopted their new leaders home language of Nicole AND Keith bashing"
OMG, I'm so laughing at this...it's really true, isn't it? I never got booted from the UM board, or at least haven't yet, but I can tell you that a few people on that board who would like you to believe they are on the inside of the Urban camp aren't and most of those members will take those few people's word as the bible when in all actuuality they don't even know these few.
I have participated in four different "skeptics" boards and my experience was that we were allowed to speak our minds without being chided or ridiculed. That continues on the Myths board, and people can say what they want.
I don't know if there have been many people banned from Myths, but I do know that some who left were pushed out because they started attacking posters within the group and up until that point, the group had been harmonious and whether we agreed with each other or not, we did so respectfully. All of a sudden a few were attacking a poster and it was not tolerated.
The site is back to it's normal tranquil place where everyone can express themselves. We don't all agree, but we sure don't attack each other either. At least, not in my experience.
The beauty of the skeptic's boards (Myths as an example) is that people are welcome to say what they want and not get attacked (at least after those in attack mode were removed). And if you think that the members of Myths are all brainwashed and believe everything printed on there, you're wrong. We all have brains and can chose to believe what we want. At least we are able to examine the information and say how we feel without being crapped on.
I prefer freedom of speech to enforced worship. That's why I don't post on .net, fans or NKU either.

The off shoot of original skeptics is very much alive and kicking. The same group for well over a year. It remains closed and tight because it's a family like atmosphere where people are very much free to disagree. A few people were removed in the beginning because it brought too much drama. The site wanted to remain a haven for free thinkers, even if they differ. I don't know about the UM board as I don't go there as.

And those SEEM to be the ones removed from the original skeptics board for that very reason. Hey, they had to go somewhere.
I must admit I belong to a couple of skeptic boards. The very same that was created when Teena banned us all and the UM board. It's night and day. The UM board seems to live in a fantasy land or their idea of what they believe is between Keith and Nicole. Us real skeptics know better.
Please explain to me what fantasy land I am living in. And I am not saying that to be snarky. I do truly want to know. And I am not here to attack anyone
Since when did this become a debate on "Sketpic Boards?" Lots of bitter people on the boards. Why do you join? Why do you stay? Damn grow some balls and say what you want on them. Don't come here call the people who run them names because you can't express you opinion. Get a freakin life!
I am on a few of the boards and have never felt like I couldn't say what I wanted. I say whatever the hell I want. Obviously people are going to disagree. That's normal. How boring would it be if we all agreed. Don't come on here and cry about it.
I think this marriage is a sham, Nicole is a greedy, pr wench and Keith is an idiot for joining her in his demise. His career is and will continue to suffer until she is gone.
mslinda, lowelz, cindy is that you?
Interesting how this one has turned. Guess the truth hurts!

-----------------------------------
Well, I happen to disagree with you. Not everyone on the UM board lives in a fantasyland and believes they know what's going on between KU and NK. I certainly don't. No one does. I have my own opinion, which is different from a lot of other people's opinion, but what I think doesn't mean it's true. Everything is just speculation and most people know that. I take EVERYTHING I hear and read with a grain of salt, no matter what or who it's about. And I also consider myself a "real skeptic." But in the end, I really don't care. What KU and NK do really has no impact on MY life. I really liked his music, and I hope he gets back to it one day. If not, that's okay, there's plenty of other talented artists out there that have had no problem getting my attention.

WOW-I just read through all of these comments and this is amazing. What is the point of all of this finger pointing and name calling? Does it make you feel important and relevant? Or does it just shift the focus?
We all know what this blog is about and if you don't like it (it's a simple concept)...start your own where you can refute these blogs, call people names and stoke your ego.

=======================================
damn if that isn't a brilliant concept..
but it would mean that they would have to do thier own research and work..when it's already done for them here...
and very well i might add.........
they can come here and "moan" about the "re-dundancy".and it takes the few seconds that it takes for thier fingers to type.........
however..i have noticed..that for the blogger(S) here..it's a no win situation..if they don't do the research..they are bashed for not "checking for sources and facts"..when they do do the research..they are condemned and called "stalkers"..are to "involved"...{and it's 'frightening')
the blogger(s) here..are "damned if they do.and damned if they don't"....but one thing is certain..there will always be someone here to "moan" about it!!
Here's what I mean by fantasy and NO, I'm not affliated in any way to those few who were kicked off the Urban Myth board and I was never a member of this jinglejeans site. I am still a member of 3 skeptics boards including UM. As I recall, those few were the only ones who challenged another poster for her sources since she continually would comment that she was on the inside of the urban camp, but never would divulge how or who she knew. This is still the case. I didn't take it as those few were attacking, just trying to get to the truth and of those few, some were even banned by association, so don't go mouthing off that the site is tranquil, it's far from it. The admin still screens out those with a different point of view and if you don't believe that you're sadly mistaken. And what you need to do is ask that person who appears to have an "inside" to Keith, why she was kicked off the other 2 skeptic boards.
May I ask, if you don't like this Urban Myths board why are you still a member?
There are private, invitation boards all over and not just the skeptical kind. Then you have the boards that profess NOT to be private, like NKU, Teena's site, among others that give the notion that they allow access to anyone, when they also do not allow access to those with differing opinions.
The purpose of a private board is to allow for uncensored talk among those mature enough to handle controversial discussions without running to tell everyone about the discussion. The people there are private people with private lives who have opinions on PUBLIC articles, comments, et al said by or about Keith Urban. If Keith wants his private life kept private, then he needs to keep his mouth shut and there would be nothing to talk about. It's really rather easy and Keith was very successful at doing just that until he hooked up with a media magnet who thinks she is Princess Diana reincarnated.
Those of you who are complaining because either you have been kicked off or not invited to the private boards were more than likely NOT invited because you could not handle such discussions with maturity. Get over it!
"If Keith wants his private life kept private, then he needs to keep his mouth shut and there would be nothing to talk about. It's really rather easy and Keith was very successful at doing just that until he hooked up with a media magnet who thinks she is Princess Diana reincarnated."
This is so true! He's the one who is constantly discussing his private life in public these days. We'll talk about the music when Keith starts talking about the music without connecting it to his wife. In the meantime, I wish he'd just shut up and sing.
"he hooked up with a media magnet who thinks she is Princess Diana reincarnated."

Ok, hat's off on that one!
I read that article from down under about her fear of perishing in a car crash because of being chased by crazed paps. Maybe only in OZ where she orchestrates those encounters....
"Those of you who are complaining because either you have been kicked off or not invited to the private boards were more than likely NOT invited because you could not handle such discussions with maturity. Get over it! "
I haven't yet been kicked off the UM board, but I can tell you that they can have some really mature discussions, on the other hand, I don't think having a section where you manipulate pictures of Nicole is real mature!
What's the UM board? How do you get an invitation?
I'd like to be on that board. Who can tell me about it?
