Let's Talk About What We Don't Talk About

Here at Urban Myths it’s easy to be happy-go-lucky all the time.

We have that crazy Nicole Kidman and her PR hacks helping us write the script. One thing that we won't do is talk about some of the dark aspects of the Kidmans, Keith's sobriety, in particular. Only he knows why he went to rehab in 2006. He has said a few things over the last year that led many to believe it was for alcohol abuse. That being said, anything else is rumor and gossip. And there is always rumor and gossip about Keith, and his past present and future chemical abuse or sobriety. It is safe to say he has issues with substances. It is not fair to say he is off the wagon, he is using everything under the sun or that he is a paragon of sobriety virtue. He said after the motorcycle accident last fall that his sobriety is important and private and guards that. We respect that. Whether he goes to meetings or sees a counselor or does it on his own, we cheer him on. It’s not easy; many of us personally know that.

So when would we talk about it? When he went to rehab it became public. When it is mentioned in the press it is public. When Amanda talked about his drug use it was public. If he went on stage high and people observed that it is public. Someone who saw something somewhere is not public, it is rumor and it is usually viewed as suspect. It may be true it may be someone’s agenda, and that is up to everyone to figure out for themselves. But you won't see a blog here about Keith using unless it is public.

On another note, someone called us a hate site in the comments. I wish they would explain to me what this hate site label means. Hate is such a negative and disconcerting word. We don't like Nicole Kidman, some even dislike Keith Urban, but no one hates here - except for those commenters who use that word.
